wyldeone-is jeff bell. i wasnt sure if i was going to be able to work with him due to his legal issues so i hired justin to possibly help dial me in the last few weeks. i am using justin primarily as a consultant more or less.

i dont know what it is about my diet this time through but i am setting PR's on my deads off the floor and out of the rack, on back squats and front squats and on all my presses and i am 5 weeks out. i pulled 650 off the floor which tied my personal best when i was off season and front squatted 395 for 6 (really deep). well, at least i know i am maintaining muscle mass and i have tightened up a bit. wyldeone says i got about 6lbs to drop over the next 5 weeks. i am still weighing in at 242-243. i am only doing 30min tread work every day so i am not killing myself with the cardio-THANK GOD!. i will put up new pix next week at 4 weeks out.

Keep up the good work bro and keep us posted. I know for my last show, with the perfect and effort I was putting into training, I found that I grew quite a bit while dieting.

 

[supermannpc]

You look right on track bro
keep it going

JOSH

IN MY OPINION YOU NEED TO LOSE 20 OR SO POUNDS AND YOU WILL BE RIGHT THERE. I SEE YOU RIPPED AT 220.

 

[joshbarnett]

phil-i am hoping to come in a little heavier than 220 but who knows. i weighed 238 the last time i started dieting for jr usa's and weighed in at 218(my avatar pic). i am still at 241 right now 5 weeks out which is 3lbs heavier than when i started out 16 weeks out for my last show so that is what i am basing it on. but i am not gonna get hung up on weight as long as i am conditioned whether i am 220 or 230. i will post new pix in about a week and let me know what u think.
