To Flash:
Didn't feel like my advice was thorough enough, here's exactly what the last couple days should look like, again assuming the "Show-off" is a Sunday PM. This is so your muscles look full but your still skin-tight and somewhat dehydrated.

Food content
-Healthy Carbs: Whole Wheat bread (my go-to, easy to calculate at 20g carbs per slice), Brown rice, Oatmeal, Fruit except banana, brown pasta

-Workout Carbs: Gatorade or gatorade powder in your protein shake

-Protein: Any lean protein under 10% fat content, i.e extra lean ground beef/turkey/chicken, Fish, Seafood (Shrimp/Scallops), Egg Whites

-Healthy fat: nuts, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, any natural nut butter

Breakdown:
Thursday
Off day, no workout, no carbs, just 24g protein with 15g healthy fat every 3-4 hours.

Friday
8am: 24g protein, 30g healthy carbs

9am: 30g whey protein 80g workout carbs
Full body workout 3 x 10 (Squat, Bench, Leg extensions, Lat pulldowns, Leg curls, Cable rows, Calf Raises, Side delt raises, Curls, Pushdowns)

11am: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 80g healthy carbs

1pm: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 80g healthy carbs

4pm: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 60g healthy carbs

7pm: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 60g healthy carbs

10pm: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 60g healthy carbs

Saturday:
30min walk upon waking up

8am: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 60g healthy carbs

11am: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 60g healthy carbs

3pm: 24g protein, 15g healthy fat, 60g healthy carbs

6pm: 25g casein in 4 oz water (No salt, No water anymore)

9pm: 25g casein in 4 oz water (No salt, No water anymore)

45min before bed: 25g casein in 4 oz water (No salt, No water anymore)

Sunday:
8am: 25g casein in 4 oz water (No salt, No water anymore)

11am: 25g casein in 4 oz water (No salt, No water anymore)

Preshow-off: 30g carbs from Skittles (Sodium free candies) + Pump up workout

Really appreciate the help, mate. I've jotted that down and hopefully I'll come in looking half as shredded as you. Thanks.

These SLDL works my grip really good, it becomes the limiting factor. Loved it.

Got the feedback from the judges, really good feedback. They had nothing wrong to say, except to add more size in the shoulders to emphasize the long run, which is the #1 main goal in Men's Physique anyway....

Discussed with my coach, don't think I will compete in October again. I should focus on getting stronger and adding some muscle mass for a year then come back heavier and leaner next year.

Shout out SexyM for the chin-ups motivation!

Had trouble doing these since I hurt my shoulder 3 months ago. Realized today that I was overreaching at the top and that's what was hurting my shoulder. I stop when my chins reach the top of the bar and everything is fine.

JUST received the Renaisance Periodization Powerlifting Book! Got released today.

I'm almost done reading the Andy Bolton "Explode your deadlift" book. Then I'm reading the RP Powerlifting.


Also, will switched my weekly setup for peaking. Instead of doing
DL Bench Bench DL Bench Bench,
I will
Bench DL Bench Bench DL Bench

Still got 2 full days between my DL, but I only get to bench back to back once so it should be more productive. Will design my assistance this weekend. Can't fcking wait.

Bench felt really easy. Probably will add 10lbs per week.

Decided I will compete in the 93kg (205lbs) weightclass. I will be training pretty hard and I don't want to do it on a deficit or maintenance. I want to get the most out of it. I will still follow the RP Diet but add more calories.

Here's to kick-off this insane training cycle:

Good workout. Didn't think my upper back could be so sore from doing Snatch grip deadlift, really worked my grip as well. I'm sold on those.

I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't remember being that sore, maybe when I was doing Smolov JR. Deadlift and that's about it. I make sure I have 8-9 hrs night per sleep and it doesn't seem to help that much. I need to eat more, by bodyweight should be over 186 by now.

Came by because I heard you are shredded as hell. Was not disappointed.

I'd be delighted to get even close to your "before" picture.
