6 Weeks Out

[Flex2019]

It's been four weeks since I last updated with pics. Shelby has had me eating a ton of food for this prep so far. Just this week we finally brought calories/carbs down a little bit to tighten up a little faster. I am holding much more mass than I anticipated when I began getting ready this year. This week's weigh-in was 221.6 lbs (the same as it was at 10 weeks out, but tighter). Here are the weekly pics I sent to Shelby. I'll try to get some pics taken in outdoor lighting this weekend.

Do you still have those pics at 175lb after losing 50lbs of body fat? Would you put them up if that is okay with you?

When I saw your pics during off season, I noticed that your waist was a bit thick even though you were fairly tight. It seems to me that it has come down a measurable amount and your taper is much better as your bf is decreased. I may be wrong, but it looks to me like your going to be at the very top of the light heavies, and a big light heavy at that. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm thinkin you have put on 15 lbs of lbw since just a year ago. Try to get those outdoor lighting pics up if you can because they will really show the cuts and density compared to indoor ones.

Yep, my wide waist is something that I can't stand. My front double bicep shots look funny because of it no matter how I turn or twist my torso. Thankfully it is coming down a little bit as I lean out. I've been a little hesitant to train my abs too hard this time around.

As far as my contest weight this year, Shelby is thinking that I'm more likely a heavyweight, probably somewhere in the 210lb range. Last year I competed at 190, so it's definitely quite a jump.

Outdoor Pics

As promised, here are some outdoor pics taken this morning. I have dried out quite a bit since my other pics were taken on Thursday. I get cheat meals on Saturday evenings and it usually takes me to the following Saturday until I drop all of the water. These pics were taken at a bodyweight of 217.6
