BOT, what do you mean disqualify myself? Did I do something wrong? Or is this a joke?
Chicken, if you want to put build an awesome physique and retain/gain athleticism at the same time, Strongman training is an excellent way to pursue those goals. And itās fun.
Myth, I respectfully disagree. If I look just like this at the end of the challenge, I should not win. In fact, I should come in dead last, because this is a transformation contest, not a ādonāt change anythingā contest. I consider myself to be at a distinct disadvantage by being so lean. It largely takes out one variable available for me to manipulate. To be discernibly leaner, I have to get myself into bodybuilding contest condition. Thatās something of a problem, lol. Thatās why itās pretty important for me to add muscle if I want a shot at winning this. If anybody in here drops like 30-40 lbs of fat over the next 4 or 5 months, they should destroy me in the competition.

Totally a joke!!!
Because you are already super ripped, if I end up where you are now I will be pretty happy.

Youāve got a ton of muscle man. Youāve got a great physique under there, a little bit of dieting will go a long way.

Week 6 update and plan:
- Down another pound in the last 2 weeks, but only 5 pounds total. Small progress but progress none the less, I think I have squeezed out whatever I was going to get from my phase 1, no-cardio-weight-loss plan
On to phase 2: Slightly less food, Add in a small amount of cardio
-
As I want to keep calories as high as possible for as long as possible, Plan now is to add a short cardio session after my weight training workouts, and eliminate about 600 calories/week by reducing my pre workout snack by 50% (1/2 a Finibar instead of a whole one).
-
Cardio will be ātabata liteā (10 seconds work, 20 rest, 8 rounds) on my Assault Bike until I build that up and flip it to real tabata in a few weeks. Even the lite version is brutal though in my currently unconditioned state. I think I may follow through with my plan of only doing Tabata bike sprints as my cardio for this cut (just for a āfunā challenge, it has no basis in reason or logic) and just add in sessions as the weeks go on.
Hopefully this takes me below the 180 mark by end of the month, at which point I will have about 12 weeks to lose another 12-15 pounds. Still plenty of room to add cardio and take away calories, so I feel like Iām in a good place here although the last 2 weeks werenāt all that productive.

Weekly average this week was 178.3, down 1.85 from last week, 13.45 in thirteen weeks (I started early).
Actually considering getting off of keto, bumping calories slightly, and adding in another day of cardio, but thereās still plenty of time, so Iām not sure.
Iām thinking final weight will be somewhere between 165 and 170.

Iām thinking that too. That seems to be a very common weight for āaverage natural liftersā to end up from what I see, maybe even a bit lighter in true contest shape. I real, shredded 170 is no joke.

Looks like I jumped the gun by a few days.
Eh, nothing too formal around here, Iām just trying to keep it somewhat āofficialā and everyone on track. Itās easy to have the days slip away from you
Having said that, You are hereby official On Notice

Well, Iām right at 199 lbs AM weight right now, hitting around 204-205 in the evenings. So up about 17 lbs from 5 weeks ago. Still very lean, plenty of vascularity, although I think my abs are slightly blurred as compared to some of my other pictures. You guys can be the judge of that. Strength is great right now, couldnāt be happier with my progress for 2017 thus far.

I completed the 4th week of my full body program and this is how i look at the moment.
This is the first time im doing a full body routine and definitely loving it.
I will start doing light cardio in april and it will get more intense every week.
I am so excited to see the final product.
