~27 weeks out from first Natural BBing show.

Unholy · Apr 15, 2009

Hey guys, not the best pics because I had to use a mirror and a cell phone. Hope these give you a general idea of where I am at. I have been working with Phil for the past few months and so far so good I think?

Phil expect an email from me with some questions as I get closer to show day.

I have been hungry so I have been eating about 3500-4000/day.

These pics are no pump and after dinner. I did legs earlier in the day. 205lbs in these.

size!!

right now you still have plenty of time to focus on growing. 27 wks away? You still have a solid 4 months to get some more thickness, dont start dieting until your about 10-12 wks out. As a natty guy, you are not on the drugs to hold the muscle mass and you need to watch out and be careful not to overtrain. Get that chest up bro, thats the biggest weakness I can see. Back looks exceptionally well, and your biceps are very good. Chest!!!! CHest!!! BTW, great physique !

Hey man, I'm still growing, and will continue to do so for a while I'm sure. I would pin myself around a true 14-15% bodyfat right now. 10-12 weeks is def not enough time to get peeled. I was told to go for about 1lb of loss a week. I will most likely lose about 20-23lbs so I figured to give myself about 20 weeks.

You need to do what you think is right man, but as somebody who has done a few shows, judging by your photos, 10-12 wks is more than enough time to get peeled. And you can lose 2-3 lbs/wk without losing too much muscle, I wouldn;t worry so much about that as long as your protien is high. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even get on the scale, just go by the mirror

You are a bit off in your b.f. estimation. I didn't see your wheels, but I would put you closer to 10%. You have a fully visible six pack. Most people at 15% b.f. don't have that going for them.

Shoot a pic of your legs for a more accurate assessment. Of course, you could always take measurements with calipers. If all goes well, you will probably still lose anywhere from 20-25 pounds...not all of it fat unfortunately.

Nice work thus far. Good luck.
