I did it for a contest a while back and it works for sure. You might not be lean enough for it to work, and for that reason I’m interested to see the results here. I always heard you had to be REALLY lean for it to be noticeable.
If you want to see my results check here:

I’m on mobile otherwise I’d link the pics, but that thread has both sets. Keep us posted on your results. [/quote]
Off topic a little, but I’m curious. You posted the 8 weeks out and 2 days out pics together, and I’m wondering what your bodyweight difference was between those. I feel like I’m somewhere in between those, and I’ve always been curious how long I would need to diet down if I wanted to do a contest. And how much weight I’d have to drop.[/quote]
I believe I went from 170 to 160 in those 8 weeks. It was an insane amount of activity, and a fairly severe calorie restriction (on top of an already low calorie diet, I did 4 weeks of 1 Pulse Fast a week, then 4 weeks of doing 2 of them per week)
On the day of the contest I weighed in at a HUGE 158lbs
that was with no water or food in me essentially, but that is what I weighed. Very eye opening to see how much weight I had to lose to get stage ready.
If you are curious the log starts on page 1 there at the 8 week out point, and the contest happens on page 8, a quick skim might be a worthwhile thing if you are thinking of competing.[/quote]
I’ll read through it for sure. I wasn’t particularly active on the forums when you were doing logging that, but obviously I am now, lol. You got into amazing condition. Should be a good read.
I don’t know that I really want to step on stage, but I have an interest in really pushing my conditioning at some point to stage-ready, or close to it.
