EXACTLY! 
I knew I was getting there when people at work, as I said before, were making comments like, āyour face is sunken,ā āyou look tiredā, āis what youāre doing safe?ā
To tell you the truth, when those comments started coming, I felt VERY relieved!

Brick, do you belive that cutting has a time limit? I mean, no more than X months
reason : dont fuc* up hormones and stuff like that
I have been dieting for a long time, like 6 months or soā¦I started super light, no restriction at all, just set a number for my macros and a little bit less carbs and i lost weight for 3 months or moreā¦after that i actually increase my calories (protein and a litte bit of fat) and kept losing weight, now i decreased my carbs a little bit and it is getting hard to get lean and im afraid of beeing in a cut for too long
what do you think ??
ps: i do zero cardio or hit yet
@BrickHead how confident are you heading in to the show? Us powerlifters generally know what type of numbers we are going to hit on the platform before we step on it. Since BB is a little more subjective from a judging standpoint, is it hard to really know how you will place?
Saw this on IG this morning. For real, I canāt wait to see the pictures of you on stage. Even though you look flat, itās still impressive looking, so getting some water and glycogen in those muscles is going to be amazing!
Or you could just get a tire pump, insert the needle into one of the numerous veins and just start inflating away!

Pretty much impossible in an amateur show considering one has no idea of who will show up.

I do not think the sort of cut you did or are doing is harmful for six months or more. The reason being that from my own contest prep experience, if a cut is verging on being too lengthy, you would indeed feel the unhealthy effects of it!
I doubt youāre cut is for too long or severe, especially if you have not done cardio or HIIT yet. But then again, we have no detail here. You MIGHT be on too little calories for too long. Provide some detail and we can see.
Let me stress again, if you were indeed on a harsh long term cut, you would indeed feel it.

Looking forward to stage pics, seeing the whole thing all put together. Gotta think youāre going to have some success today, but, one thing you know for sure, you didnāt leave anything on the field. Awesome effort!
