contest training! The 12 week countdown
Hi everyone
Well, the time has rolled around again, time to get into contest shape. I have exactly 12 weeks to get into peak physical condition, and it has already begun! I’m kinda excited, because i know how crazy i will look at the end of it all 
This time, I am starting my carb cycle at 200gms, with a high day every forth day of approximately 330gms of carbs. Gradually, i will chop down to 100gms of carbs per day, but this time it should only be for the last month (last time, i dropped my carbs too low too early and was one mean, mean SOB!). Thankfully, this time my staff will only have to put up with me eating so few carbs for the last month! haha!
I will gradually up my cardio too. I am starting off for 40 minutes per day but will gradually build to 2 sessions per day totalling 90 minutes. I am generally a fan of the stationary bike but i might do some work on the elliptical traininer too. occasionally, i will go for a long walk if i have the time (I quite like walking, the only problem being is that it is low in energy expenditure)
In the next 12 weeks, i will eat no cheat meals, and consume no sugar. Thats hard for me because i have a bit of a sweet tooth but i will manage
I will also try to post some progress photos if i can every 3 weeks
Wish me luck guys, I want to win the title this time! (so close last time, finished second by a fingernail!)

its lower carb, but not super low carb (at least toward the end) lots of turkey, oatmeal, flaxseed oil and peanut butter for fat sources. Also a bit of bread too (I dont believe that a bodybuilder has to cut out bread IMO) Typical bodybuilding dietary staples essentially. I will never go lower then 100 gms of carbs per day because seriously, i feel like i am going to die! How people do ketogenic type diets, i dont know!
