Hey all just looking to give you guys a quick update, as well as a little guidance I seek.
I have decided to get my feet wet in the bodybuilding sport this coming fall and I am planning on doing two shows. One is Oct 24th and the other Nov 7th First in Poughkeepsie NYS Natural BBing champs and the second is a Syracuse show which is WNBF pro qualifier. Both natural shows.
Currently I sit at 208lbs @ what I guess to be around 14% bf. A little help would be appreciated. I don't know exactly what to do with my plan of attack. I was originally planning on cutting for a few months, getting a few months of bulk in before the last 16-20 weeks of prep. Time is running out and I am debating on whether or not to bulk for a few months and start my prep 20-22 weeks out or if I should continue cutting before trying to do any kind of bulking. Another option is cutting straight through for about 40 weeks.
By my estimates I have about 177-179lbs of LBM right now and that would mean that I could realistically step on stage at around 185lbs diced.
Here is me 2 weeks ago.
Oct 1st start of cut and return to training after a few months of inconsistency.
Any advice, guidance, tips, criticism is appreciated.
I am trying to debate what the best course of action would be. 39 and 42 weeks out from 2 shows.
To slowly bulk for 19 weeks followed by a 20-22 week prep
To Cut for 8 more weeks, bulk for 12 followed by a ~20 week prep
To Cut for the following 40 weeks or so till show date.
Please help a brotha out.
