9 weeks out, North Americans

[Shelby]

Weight is still right around 200.

We're going to start pushing the diet a bit harder this week, but cardio will stay at 9 sessions, 45 minutes each.

Thanks Brad.
My back looks like a pad of Sticky-notes next to yours though

Re: the most muscular, you mean one hand over the other, kind of like Levrone used to do?

I'm always experimenting with that pose.. trying to find something to make my arms look less "spindly"

HAHAHA now were talkin! Starting to sharpen up nicely Shelby. The back is looking real good. Excellent thickness there. Abs are clearly more visable.

in my eyes, you've made a bigger leap in progress over the past week than you have week-to-week previously...and the progress was noticeable in past weeks pics as well. knowing the amount of food you are putting away, and the amount of cardio you are doing, i'm just really blown away.

(glad to be joining forces with the likes of you, jedi)

Thanks Chris. Looking at my pics all I see are improvements I need to make, both in size and conditioning... good to know you can see some changes though.

Thanks Hott! Some days are tougher than others, but I can't complain.

Thanks Kari! Hope your offseason is going well

Thanks D! Hopefully the weekly changes will be pretty apparent from here on out.. this will probably be my most competitive show to date, so I need to be ready!

I agree, your back is looking crazy thick.

shelby,

Whats your carb rotation like right now ???

chris

The last couple weeks it's been like this:
1 high day per week: 1000g carbs, protein around 150-200g
3 medium days per week: 150g carbs, protein around 300-325g
3 low days per week: 60g carbs, protein around 300-325g

Cardio is 45 minutes in the morning on an empty stomach on all medium and low days, and 45 minutes in the afternoon / evening on all low days.

Starting this week, I'll be changing to:
1 high day per week: 500g carbs, protein around 275
3 medium days per week: 200g carbs, protein around 300-325g
3 low days per week: 50g carbs, protein around 300-325g

Cardio stays the same for now.

I have also had a weekly cheat meal the past couple weeks, but I probably won't have another one of those for a while.
