Glad to hear you are back in the saddle. And by the way I have already seen your pics. That's why I said what I did. There is no reason that you should be doing any shows with a physique like yours and not winning the overall. Good luck with the rest of the prep.
By the way when your shows are over I suggest you do what I always do. Sit your girl down and thank her for making so many sacrifices over the months leading up to the show and ask her what she would like to do. I try to take a week long vacation and make it all about my girl after the show. As you know they sacrafice a lot for us so the least we can do is make a week that is all about them and what they want.
hey dusty good points with the gf's,
"behind every good man there is a great girl " that definatly holds true for bbing, i dont know why my girl puts up with me? but she is a lifesaver and a real support for me......

i would definatly do the first show, but time the diet to peak for the 2nd more imrotant show.....i learned this lesson this year, especially when competing 20lbs heavier then last year, it really changes a lot in how you need to carb up and dry out...
i was in pretty good shape 7 weeks out of my show when i first posted pics here, if i were you i would cut the morn cardio now, and let the diet get you in shape..... the longer you can stay lean, especially in the offseason the harder you look on stage....
i would eat enuf to keep your bw stable, cut the cardio and let yourself lose those last few lbs over the remainder of your diet.... if you gain weight right now then you are just going to have to cut calories later(putting you at a catabolic enviorment) later in the prep..... if you dont need the cardio dont do it.....
