Oh yeah!! I forgot about those already!! Nice one.
And i second what Bushy says above^^^^^ good lad!
Ye, i am looking forward to seeing you really dialled in, to see the difference between last year… looks like you got a nice few pounds in there over the year, hard to tell with the extra fat at the moment, but i am sure you’ll blow the previous “you” out of the water!! lol!

thanks for the support boys, just to update my progress… im around 218lbs right now and looking better. still doin 2 hours of cardio split up 2x a day. i will put some pics up on sat being it is 1 week out from the contest so that you guys can judge. this week i switched my diet to:
meal 1: half whey / casien shake with water (50g Protein), 1/4 cup oats (steel cut) 25g carbs /w splenda and cinnamon
meal 2: 14oz chicken breast,steamed green beans 100g
Meal 3: 14oz chicken breasts, 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread ( 30g carbs)
Meal 4: post workout whey iso and water (50g Protein)
Meal 5: 14 oz chicken breast, 100g steamed green beans
Meal 6: 3 chicken breasts, 100g broccoli
Meal 7: 10 egg whites
im getting about 50 carbs all together and Friday i will have my last high carb day and i will go up to 100g carbs total not counting veggies.Im really starting to crash after i train everyday around 6 pm. I am getting disoriented really easily at night and really start to shut down if i get dehydrated. its almost show time and i just have to keep telling myself that to keep me goin lol. anyway off to bed.
ok well i decided to take some pics tonight so here they are. i have to bust it harder then ever to be ready but im really looking forward to seeing this thru.
and yes i am aware i am holding a majority of my remaining fat in my ass (Endo). i think if i can get that off i will be in good shape day of.
Remind me how long you have.
It’s not ideal, certainly, but you look a lot better than you did in your last pics. You’ve obviously been taking this seriously the last couple of weeks. It’s also a testament to how much can be done in a short period of time.
I think your entire back side is too soft, you look much better from the front. Also, I assume you are going to paint your tan on, right? 
One more thing, your arms are WAY too high for your front relaxed. Use the “rule of thumb.” You should be able to touch your waist at all times with either thumb during your relaxed position.
I am curious to see what the water depletion and diuretics can do for you, and how much plain old water can kill definition. I know sometimes I am harsh with you but I really do wish you the best at your show, Dave. Good luck and keep us updated.
Looking much better than the last pics.
I hope you have spent a lot of time talking to people about how to achieve the right colour. Most people by now would of spent the last month in tanning beds and likely had a coat of mystic tan on or something of that nature by 1 week out.
Good luck with your show.
