Looking really good sir, I am doing a drastic 5 week cut right now, and it is nice to see someone else achieving what I aiming for.

Did you have any water weight in the before pictures, some of the pics, in particular your chest look like you have some water retention?

thanks a lot man, good luck with yours.

perhaps a little water retention, but nothing too out of the ordinary. that’s pretty much just how i looked all the time, and i was also eating lower carb for the most part too all the time, so i don’t remember retaining an extra water really

Looking amazing, dude! I actually gave you a 9. I’ve been cheating like hell on my diet lately, but seeing your pictures gives me much needed motivation. So, thanks a lot and keep it up!

Excellent work! THe difference in your midsection is impressive, (as is the rest).

I agree with an earlier poster, you shouldn’t try to go another 10 lbs lower, you will lose way too much muscle. If you are indeed serious about a natural contest, you’d have to go 3, maybe 5 for the conditioning you’d need (jimcordova.com ← contest pics are at 5’9 and 170 lbs)

i’m definitely not going to do it now, but i thought that if i were to compete, i’d have to lose another 10 lbs or so to be in competition shape. i can still see a little fat over my lower abs. and i remember reading somewhere too that CT said once you have a full 6 pack, you’ll still have another 10-15 lbs to lose before being in real contest shape. but who knows til i try it. and thats nothing that im going to worry about now anyway
thanks for the website btw

dude, you should compete! how 'bout an update on how things are going?
