3 weeks out, my contest journey moves on.

Well on May 24th I started out on a 16 week contest Prep for a show on Sept 13th in Lakeland, Florida.

Well here I am 3 weeks from this past Saturday away from the conclusion of the journey. I started at 242LBS right now I am 208LBS. I just turned 40 on August 20th and I have to say I have never been in better shape in my life. Phil took care of all of my training and contest prep and I am in no way a gifted enough writer to scribe not only the job that he did but the good friend that he has become. In the few months I have spent getting to know Phil I have learned more about training and diet then all of my past years in the sport. I am really looking forward to these last 3 weeks as to just where I will end up physically as each day I surpass personal physical milestones.

I have enclosed some comparison pictures from the start at 242LBS and now 208LBS

I think you look great, especially for 40. But with only 3 weeks left, and Ideally you should be at your target body fat % 1 week out, I think you still have a lot of work to do. Don't get me wrong you will still do great if you stay on your current track, but we want to win this show not place in it right? How does your current cardio/diet regiment look. I would hope you have plenty of fasted cardio sessions in the AM.

Ant, I am with Dave. I think you are behind where you need to be with only 3 weeks left. The cahnges are very apparent to when you started but you really need to tighten up. Sorry but this is what critique is all about. Not sure how much condition you can pull in with so little time left without sacrificing some muscle in the process. I here you about the age thing too. I am 49 next month and it is a real sruggle just to get a little fat of the body compared to when I was your age. Big difference in diet and training required to dial in condition these days. BTW your quads are outstanding, good legs for an old Phukker!!! HAHAHAHAHA. All the best Ant, go hard young man!

Looking Thick ! Maybe a little behind for 3 weeks out.Still time to dip deep and drop somemore BF.Good Luck !

thick for sure, but i tell ya, your pics suck azz... you are always 1/4 mile from the camera, and could you get the shadows in any worse spots!!!! ,lol

drive it home

Agree with last. Lousy pictures to show off your physique. the Lakeland Classic is a good show. i live close and will attend the pre-judge for sure.

work on your mandatory poses. Your heels need to be TOGETHER in front relaxed. slight bend in knees pushing down and out through legs.

Keep hitting the cardio hard, you've got a little ways to go, but you can change a lot in three weeks.

Good transformation and good luck at the show....

1 week, how we doin bro??

 

[aeliop]

Thanks for asking

1 week, how we doin bro??

Yes heading into the last week I was down to 201LBS this weekend. I feel good and I will keep you guys posted on how It turns out. Attached are some photos from the weekend the quality is awful, I know I got a bad camara and the photo skills aren't much either. Hopefully I will have better photos for you all Friday night Saturday morning.

Ant, You look good bro. Great side chest shot. A classic looking physique. But I have to tell you straight, you are behind where you should be with one week to go. In fact about 4 weeks behind judgeing from those last pics. Not much you can do now unless it really is bad lighting,but your legs are not separated enough and your condition is good but not as good as it should be for this close. But hey, you can only do so much. Hope you do well in your show. All the best!
