4 weeks 4 days out from JR USA.

[Big Dave Smith]

4 weeks 4 days out. In keto mode. No carbs since April 9th. We turned things up a notch. I'm still on pace to drop a lot more. Progress keeps coming. Knock on wood!

I'll be a SHW at the show. No chance in hell of making heavies.

Thanks again to...

Dave Palumbo for my prep.
Dante Trudel for my True Protein supplements.

Let me know what you guys think. I really don't have anybody around my area for any feed back. No bodybuilders, no judges, nothing. I go to the gym, go to work, go back to the gym, and sleep.

Damn your a big mother fucker. You look awsome, and i would say you are way ahead of schedule. You should be peeled by showtime. Good luck brother

 

[dropshot001]

good luck with the rest of your prep and the show

 

[SABAGOY]

You hold that muscle so well! Your shape is very strong for your height and weight!

I wish there was another person in the picture so people could realize how BIG you really are!

Big Dave....You look very hard...especially for 4 weeks out...You usually aren't that conditioned that early...awesome Bro

 

[Big Dave Smith]

Thanks guys. If I told you my weight, you'd laugh.

I think several factors have caused me to get stronger on 3/4 of my lifts as I've gotten closer to the show. I've always held muscle. Getting lean has been a challenge, but only because I needed to find the right macros and game plan to get there. Carbs need to stay far, far away from my mouth while dieting. I'm also in good cardio shape, so i had to switch from walking on an incline to the elliptical to get my HR to where Dave wants it. I got shin splints from walking so damn fast on the treadmill and my HR wouldn't go above 110-115.

 

[MightyJohn]

hella thick bro, with mini phil hernon quads on you

something about your statement about carbs, I would bet you everything i own that george farah would get you in the shape of your life with a shit ton of carbs. so many people talk about being carb sensitive but they have their protein too high when dieting high carb. george told me that since carbs are protein sparring that you don't need as much protein and fat is kept relatively low

anyways bro, you are going to tear shit up at jr's. I actually feel sorry for the other supers

 

[Bleed]

THICK.

 

[The Mass]

Best Dave Smith I HAVE EVER SEEN...Keep grinding out bro...looking sick.

 

[method2madness]

Stay on track with what you are doing. The Jr. Nat's are a fun show and you look like you're dialing in right on schedule. Keep up the solid work.
