Been dieting for a while, and im going to compete in about 5 months, my physique is far from finished, but I need the experience of competing before I start working on improving my weaknesses.

Before pic about 236 lbs




After pictures about 2 weeks from today at about 190 lbs

Wow very impressive transformation!

Good work! Over what time period did you make that change?
How much muscle mass was under there already and how much was additional lean mass added?

What routines have you used in the time?

...so many questions....

chrismac

Great work, how long did it take you to cut to the current level?

Its so much better being leaner hey!>?

What a transformation- well done! Given five months to cut you could be absolutely awesome up on the stage!

Geo

Looking good bro,

Good size too, once you cut even more you could be really shredded, 5 months is along time to cut, just make sure you dont cut into the muscle.

Are you using any AAS to help maintain your muscles while cutting??

Looking great bro, you still look nice and full but pretty ripped there. Nice shape too, any shots from the back?

Would be interested to see what your cutting diet/cardio/aas/ancilliaries (if used) was?

Cheers.

Some answers, and thank you all for the positive input!, if something is left unanswered just make a "detailed question"

It's hard to tell how much mass I had under and how much mass I added while cutting.

I went from 170lbs(badshape) to 236(even worse shape) I would guess I added about 30lbs of muscle and 30 lbs of water and fat this period, this period was about 18 months and I cycled 20 of those weeks, 3 short/medium lenght cycles low to moderate dosages, I ate far too much tbh!

The cut has been going on for about 40 weeks now.

I do think I added some more mass during the first 20-30 weeks of the cut and now im in or close to the zone where I will start loosing some of that mass.

As for the diet I started slowly been dieting for about 40+ weeks now the first 25-30 weeks was a breeze and I was enjoying a few cheat meals here and there.

after week 30 I started to "cut" into my food removing cheat meals
And stuff I have done very little cardio "saving" it as one of my last tools and I started cardio this week.

My goal was to diet very slowly maintaining good mass or even increasing it I was never in a hurry, since I have been dieting for so long I've had time to learn and see how the body changes to different intakes on carbs etc.

Last 10-15 weeks I've done carbcycling in 2 ways, first basic High carb diet for 2-3 weeks, then lowcarbdiet with Carbcycling 2-3 weeks, basically I gain 3-6lbs of glycogen retention on the highcarb weeks, and when i go off them I often loose 4-7lbs and look sharper each "cycle"

The thing i would change for the future is simply to go high carbs longer since it gives more energy, and simply trust my body more to burn the fat than needing to go off "carbs" ever 2-3 weeks to make a check on my shape.

For AAS I've been running AAS for the whole diet I saw really no point in dieting without AAS since my goal was to keep as much mass as possible, and I have even added som mass so I have reached my goal.

I have upped the carbs abit and cut away the AI's so that I wont cut into my muscle mass to early, around 13-14weeks out I guess it gets time to asses if im in good "phase" for the comp, or if I slacked off too much heh.

robdog
