Thanks Tenny, but still got some time to crank it up!

Well....some adjustments I made were I dropped my total carb intake the last 10 days to under 50grms per day. I have been eating anywhere between 250-300 grams of protein per day, and my fat grams vary day to day from 65 grams to 100 grams depending on hunger. I am going to wait till my body screams for a higher carb day, but so far it is all mental and I can survive at 50 grams per day.

Also, I increased my cardio from 30 minutes per day to 45 - 60 minutes per day. Thanks again Tenny!

To be honest that is the only changes I have made. Going by the mirror at this point.

I couldn't function with that little carbs, but it is definitely working for you. You are dropping the fat, quickly.

These are great!!..really looking better and better each time...These are much better pics too.Great job!

Shelby · Apr 20, 2009

Solid improvements this week Lenny.

If your show is a national qualifier and you do well (which I can't imagine NOT happening), you should consider competing as a welterweight at a national show this year, perhaps the Jr Nationals.

Pesty...so far I have found that the carbs are mental thing for me. If my body needs them, I will add some rice back in there, but not till it screams for it.

Thanks Shelby and yes the show I am doing is a qualifier...hopefully it turns out the way I like. I am thinking deeply about possibly competing in one of those level shows, but need to jump this hurtle first. I always appreciate your advice.

lenny you got an impressive physique bro! you need to fine tune the posing a tad but bro you look ON!!!!! you will have no problem qualifying for a national level show! I hear jr. nationals calling your name..... "lenny, lenny, lenny" LOL

michelin · Apr 20, 2009

Looking great Lenny.

Does the lack of carbs affect your energy levels and how intense is your cardio?

keep at it bro

unoigo · Apr 20, 2009

Thanks b-boy for those wise words and comments. I will fine tune my posing the next couple of weeks. I hear them declaring B-Boy the winner at the next National Level show because I think your physique fits your frame and is very impressive!

Yes, I can't wait for a productive offseason, so I will have to work on bringing up my lagging parts and eating!

Thanks Michelin. The whole carb thing is mental at this point. I just need to distinguish between cravings and energy...not confused the two. If I eat..I have energy and I will slowly work the some rice back into the equation. Just listening to the body with regards to carbs. My cardio is low-moderate intensity....start out low and will end the session with moderate if my body allows me. But, I ain't gonna lie....I can't wait to indulge into my cravings because food will taste so damn good and I just like to eat.
