I can't wait to see the final result.

Chris, that low back detail is just sick. That's the last place to go on me. I wish I had the genetic disposition to maintain that shredded lumbar look all the time. Especially at three weeks out. You are definately on point if not ahead of schedule by the look of the pics. Just hold on to that size and you'll definately tear it up.

Looking really bad ass bro, nice job!!! Good luck at the show!!!

Rob Roy · Nov 25, 2006

I'm in that last week where the mind games start f*cking with ya. I am really starting to come together though. I was retaining quite a bit of water a week ago and obviously still am until i cut the sodium and water but started to depleat and the lines are really coming in nicely now. I have to remember that all that matters is how I look for that small window next Sat. and not how I look in the gym right now. I'm coming in as a Lightheavy around the mid 180's. Which is a hughe jump considering the fact that I was a welter in July. I think that the mind games are coming from the fact that I have done very little cardio this time around where I was doing two hours a day last time. i feel like I should be doing more and this is why mentally I'm up and down. Just have to get used to less work with a better look. Sounds like a rough problem, I know. The problem is that I'm a total type A personality so I always feel like I should be doing more. Which isn't exactly a good thing with bodybuilding. Sometimes less is more! I'll be my all time best. With 20lbs. more quality mass.

DIEZEL666 · Nov 25, 2006

Chris, what type of diet are you following this time? Thanks again and Good luck.

chris250 · Nov 26, 2006

DIEZEL- IM DOING MY OWN DIET THIS TIME...WHAT IM DOING IS FOLLOWING A LOW CARB DIET FOR 2-4 DAYS THEN CARBING UP FOR A DAY...SO MY CARBS ON MY LOW DAYS WOULD END UP AROUND 100 PER DAY...ALONG WITH SOME GOOD FATS (ALMONDS,NATURAL PENUT BUTTER, EGGS, STEAK, ECT) THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THIS ALONG WITH CARDIO...I WOULD CARB UP TO 250-300 GRAMS OF CARBS AND LOWER MY CARDIO...I NORMALLY JUST JUDGE HOW CARBS IM GOING TO TAKE IN THAT DAY BY HOW FLAT I AM, AND MY MORNING WEIGHT...IF I WOULD DROP A COUPLE OF POUNDS OVER NIGHT AND LOOK VERY FLAT...I WOULD TAKE IN A GOOD AMOUNT OF CARBS...IF IM FULLER IN THE MORNING, THEN I WOULD JUST DO MORE CARDIO OR LOWER MY CARBS TO THE 100 GRAM RANGE...IM EATING ALOT MORE MEALS THOUGHOUT THE DAY (UP TO 8-9 MEALS PER DAY ON MY LOW CARB DAYS) MAINLY CAUSE MY DAYS START SO EARLY (4 AM) AND I GO TO BED AT 10PM OR EVEN LATER...SO I JUST EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS...ON MY HIGHER CARB DAYS I JUST NORMALLY EAT 6 MEALS...PROTEIN IS PRETTY HIGH DEPENDING ON HOW MANY MEALS I EAT...I JUST TRY TO GET IN ABOUT 60 GRAMS PER MEAL...THAT SEEMS TO WORK REALLY WELL FOR ME....SOMETIMES ON MY HIGHER CARB DAYS I WILL HAVE A SMALL CHEAT...PANCAKES WITH MY FIRST MEAL, INSTEAD OF OATMEAL OR PASTA WITH RED SAUCE WITH DINNER...SOMETHING LIKE THAT...NOTHING TO CRAZY, BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP ME SANE...

THANKS
