Just started my pre contest diet today for the NPA Heart of England show on 19th August www.npa-bodybuilding.co.uk .Looking forward to getting into contest shape again and hope to have made some decent gains not having competed since the end of 2005.The plan this year is to do as little cardio as possible and,hopefully,retain a bit more muscle.Anyone elso dieting for a show at the moment?

How much are you wanting to lose Jonno? Any current pics?

jonno gb · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:31:22 AM »

Probably about 20-25 lbs to be in proper condition(currently about 14 st 10 lbs).I haven't any current pics but this one is from 2005.I want to be in similar condition but fuller.Waist is currently 31.5 inches so I guess 3.5 to go?

lilwoday09smb · « **Reply #5 on:** May 01, 2007, 09:09:57 AM »

well you obviously know what your doing. interestinf you keep the carbs so high.

jonno gb · « **Reply #6 on:** May 01, 2007, 10:44:56 AM »

Probably will even out at about 200 g carbs,don't want to go much less than 150 g though.

Wow, that seems really low on calories considering you're so far out (I'm sure you know what you're doing). Good luck Jonno.

Must admit I was a little worried about the lack of calories seen as the first few weeks are just a clean up really(although yesterday was a bit higher).I will stick at this until I stop losing weight though then maybe cycle the carbs a bit.

AVBG · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2007, 02:07:32 PM »

you're at a good bf level to start jonno.. keep us posted bro

nzmusclemonster · « **Reply #20 on:** May 16, 2007, 06:02:29 AM »

Lookin good jonno, diet looks pretty good also. Just one thing I noticed is that you seem to be pretty dependant on protein powder as a protein source. Personally I'd use more whole foods rather than depending on powders....
Your looking good though brother and will do some damage at the show.

jonno gb · « **Reply #21 on:** May 16, 2007, 07:59:10 AM »

Thanks guys! I think you are right about the protein.I use powder more for convenience really but it's never as satisfying as solid food.

No pics yet but diets coming along well thanks.Have lost just over 8 lbs and waist is down to 29.5 inches.Will get some more pics soon.Also decided to do another show-the NPA South West in Taunton,Somerset at the end of July.Don't expect to be bang on but want to practice the routine and get a bit of stage time.
