GrindOverMatter is 7 weeks out

Have fun up there you’ve earned it!

I have so much admiration for those of us who not only have the willpower to see the gruelling prep through but also have the balls to get up there and walk the walk. You are an inspiration sir

Good luck dude, you deserve the best for your efforts.

Bathroom wheels

Good luck!

HAHA you look craaaaaaaazy wide cause of your tiny waist!

Congrats man! You look great :slight_smile:

You are you tough mother trucker man i probably would have dropped out and opted to do a later show rather then put myself through what you have. Mad respect.

Also pure jelly of how small and narrow your waist looks, that shit has got to be at least sub 30 inch’s now.

thanx everyone, what a crazy experience it all was! those pics i posted really suck and there should be some good, professional photos soon. For the night show i definitely got drier and fuller- Shelby’s nutritional protocol for filling out was amazing! it was crazy how much i ate over the whole weekend- I wont reveal the protocol he sent me, but we loaded with quite a lot of fats!! Ill do a bigger write up later, just want to chill right now

good stuff, well done for persevering .

Good job man. Props to you for sticking with it and not backing out.
That takes a lot of courage!!
You can only go up from here right!

Think you will do it again?

i have some, but they arent very good! id be kind of embarrased about posting them to be honest…my calves and feet and even quads and hams were very swollen the days leading up to the show and i had crazy water retention (i know you hear a lot of competitors say this, but i have some terrible pics 2 days that show just how bad the retention was)

Crazy progress man. From the pictures I seen on the first page I was like wtf… no offense lol, but great job man, keep it up.

What cardio plan did shelby have you following?

thanx, yes i realize now that my 7 weeks out condition at the start of the thread should of been more like 16 weeks out condition. like i said in slohs thread,my goal right now isnt to gain a whole lot of weight (im planning to get to 200 lbs tops, then do some dieting again) but to build my metabolism so im eating a large amount of carbs without the fat gain.

when i started with him 11 weeks out we were doing 45 mins, after a while we went to 60 mins, for the last stretch about 90 mins. he told me the keep the heart rate around 130 bpm most of the time.
