8 weeks and 3 weeks out

This pic is of me at 8 weeks out.

This is me at 3 weeks out

I actually weigh about the same! I'm definately leaner though, my waist is down about 2 whole inches. I'm amazed at the results. Well, I dropped about maybe 2-3lbs depending on the time of day that I weigh myself, water intake, etc. But last year at this time, I was down a good 12-15lbs in that time span. I do have to admit that Phil's ideas seemed too simple to non-high tech, complicate, space aged to work, but the results speak for themselves. Everyone at the gym is noticing as well. I can't wait to see what we can do during the final stretch. I was asked to guess pose tomorrow for the little show that I won last year.

I'm going to do it for fun and to get the feel of the stage before the competition, I won't change anything diet or training wise though.

My points as to why you are really going to do well.

1. You look fantastic

2. Great improvements in the 5 weeks

3. Very Thick

4. Anything where you can spread that wing span of yours
(front and reardouble front and rear lat) really is a showstopper
for you and quite dramatic in appearance.

5. Your arms are really big as well

6. At 8 weeks you looked outstanding at 3 weeks you improved that
substantially, I would say you are right on track to really come in come
show time lights out.

7. Great shape and physique

8. As great as Phil is he has actually been even better of late. He is really
going to be on fire when your show rolls around.

Great Work DB you are really doing well.

I appreciate the comments everyone, right now I'm completely worn out not so much from the diet, and training but other personal issues. I'm actually 2 weeks out as of Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I'm going to guess pose at the local show that I won last year, which will be cool, it will be just the boost that I need to really push during these last two weeks. I won't change anything at all with the diet or the training, but it will be cool to be up there and get the feel of the stage just prior to stepping on stage for the real thing.

I agree with both statements... you look FANTASTIC, G.!!!

Easy to say, I know , but don't let these personal issues you've been experiencing lately get the best of you... you're on your way to success and that, my friend, is a very clear path.

Thanks Steele, You should do it, but you probably have other plans with the new family for now, it can be very stressful. I'm learning that right now, since my son just turned 2! What an age
