Week 6 Complete (3 weeks away)
Weight: 171lbs, BF%=3.43
Officially three weeks out from competition date. I successfully bumped up my carbs slightly (added 25g carbs approximately to one meal) which allowed me to more or less maintain my weight. However, I think I made a mistake by lowering my protein slightly to maintain my caloric deficit. There is a chance that I may have lost a little muscle as a result. However, I can’t be sure at this point. In any case, I will continue this plan for the next two weeks, and only carb deplete the first part of the following week, right before I carb load again for the show. Feedback at this point is that I’m holding nothin but water at this point, which is good in a way because I’m more or less peaking. However it’s also very bad because I now have to hold here without losing any more weight or worse, gaining unwanted weight. Holding at one weight is actually harder than dieting because it leaves virtually NO room for error.
As far as training goes, I’ve been really hard in the gym, but it’s been really hard working out and even working period because I’m always tired, probably from the lack of carbs and food as a whole. I keep telling myself that it’s only three more weeks and then I’ll be cool. Lol fortunately, I already submitted my competition application to lock myself in so I wouldn’t back out at the last minute.
As for pics, I know I keep promising them. I had a big computer problem though that had prevented me from loading any. The problem has been solved and pics should be coming up soon.
