Hey Brother.

I started my prep diet around Christmas at 300lbs. Today I weighed in at 244.

I have a lil ring all the way around my waist that is bothersome to me as well along with loose skin all around.

My contest is in less than 5 weeks. No telling what my weight will be. Im 38 6ft and this is my first one.

Thanks for being an inspiration to me!!

Good Luck

Postpone! Cancel! You are not ready period! Don't kid yourself into something that may stop bodybuilding in your forever. You need at 8 weeks with proper diet and hydration just to stay alive on the stage. Think Man!
Going in now would only net you 15th place a best. Think please.

Brother I'm not worried about placing at all. Just getting on stage the first time. Competing against others comes later. I have more shredding to do but Ill let the next 3 weeks determine that.
Thanks for your opinion.

naugt Sorry for getting your thread of topic. I appreciate your inspiration.

Have fun be yourself and get your feet wet, if thats what you want to do, then do it. Now if you want to win your weight division, take the advice that was given. All in all, see it, breath it, live it, and enjoy the experience, I seen guys who take it way to serious and have a major meltdown at the end and start blaming out how much they took and how much money they wasted, when they take the fun out of the sport and just see #1 is the only spot to get and get confused that self-improvement and critiscism is part of the sport.

Bro...just being able to compete and carrying out this prep is a victory in itself. Trust me i know the feeling i used to have to do about 2-3 12 hour shifts every week or so for my work, and god damn you dont have energy by the end of it

What you have achieved is nothing short of amazing. And when your standing up there amongst other competitors you know you've earnt your god damn place up there!! I wish you the best of luck
