194 this morning. Water and sodium are still high, and I'm a bit flat.

lookin awesome mate im very impressed.

I am no expert by any means but in your front lat spread your elbows seemd to be blocking the view of your lats i think if they had been slightly higher you would see much more of your lats and v taper.

You probs know this but thought id mention it anyway.

Shelby was this done after a low carb day? you do look flat. What is your cardio looking like now?

I think I goofed it up because I was close to that doorway. I normally hit the front lat pretty decent, I've posted a pic before and it looks better. Thanks for the advice though, I know all my poses could use some work.

It was actually done after a high day. I'm getting flat pretty quick now, so I'm not doing any more low carb days and I'm reducing my cardio even more than I have been. The intensity is very low (2.4mph on the treadmill, incline at 6-7 or so) and I'm dropping the AM sessions from 60 minutes down to 45, and not doing any more PM sessions.
I'm anticipating having a bit of trouble filling out (or staying full) next week as I manipulate water and sodium, so I don't want to be depleted at all going into those final days.
Saturday will be an 800g high day (maybe higher if my weight drops much before then) and the rest of the days are mediums, around 200-250g. I'll start the carb up on Wednesday.

awesome....

awesome as always.
You look masterful in the posing video.
I like the way you set up each pose and only progress when you have your "base".
Dude your hams and quads are looking great as is that back!
right on schedule.

Damn Shelby!! I've only been here a short period of time but I have been following your post. Your clients always look amazing and you are on the money. I'll be pulling for you and I hope that your Peak Week works out!!! You put in the work so there is no need for luck!!! Go get em!!!

 

[oldfella]

Well Shelby,
You are looking soooo much better this time around. The size improvements are evident and you look very healthy. Just keep doing what you are doing and do not try anythinh too drastic come show time. This is the best you have looked yet. Good work big dog!!

Thanks guys. This is definitely the best I've ever been so far, and I'm also feeling pretty good too (not that typical zombie / warmed-over death feeling I'm used to during a prep).

Check this out - this is a back pic from my first show, back in August, 2005. I weighed 158 for that show
