Incredible transformation. What's your diet like?
-

I would have guessed you lost maybe 30 to 35 lbs. tops. Good job. Do you think you may have lost too much muscle during the diet phase, or was your bodyfat high enough that you knew in advance 60 lbs. would be the ticket?

Good question.
I planned this prep thoroughly and I wanted to get a good idea/starting point, so what I did was a DEXA scan - see link http://www.bodycomposition.com.au/ (http://www.bodycomposition.com.au/) to get a accurate measurement of my body composition. So I knew how much fat/muscle ect I was carrying. I had another DEXA scan on Monday and my lean body mass increased all the while I lost 60lbs.
-
Great transformation!
-
Rocking and Rolling bro... You're ripped.
Please put your ass cheek back in your shorts now.
:-X
-
Great stuff. Getting that grainy look

nice job 60lbs ;)
why did you get that heavy in the first place though?
was it that you just gave up on bodybuilding for a while then got back into it or
just a huge bulk phase that put alot of fluff on you? ;D

I am a reformed perma-bulker, I read the mags and thought more was better.. I was deluded that I looked good.. I will be staying within 10lbs of competition weight after the show-guaranteed.
-
You're one ripped, dry looking bastard. I had no idea man. Great transformation when compared to that off season pic!! Hope you do well!!!!! :o
-

haha i bet u cant, its nice to almost have it be over i bet.
so whats the carb up plan look like?
the carb up is something like this..
First day- add 60gr carbs for each protein/fat meal.
Second day- 60gr carb at every meal.
Third day- same as day two, eliminate all shakes, cut added salt.
Day of show- is similar to above but with specific meals.
-
alex do you also cut water?
no cutting of water

no cutting of water

No diuretics at all, not even herbal/OTC.
The carb up is going great.. I feel good as I am doing it on the lower scale, just to be safe.
My carbs are white rice/ ricecakes.

I am wondering if you used coffee for your liquid because of the caffiene content? If so, why? If not, did you think about the caffiene content?

Good luck AVBG

Congrats mate. 2nd in your first show is awesome! Bet you are on a high!
Does that placing qualify you for any other shows or was it a one off event?

Thanks Max, I am qualified to compete in the Nationals (top two of each class) but I am not doing it this year. I am happy with the result, the judges judged fairly, the scorecard was close but at the end of the day the person who won was the better. BTW mate this is my third show- albeit I hadn't done in too many years.

rowdy you entering getbigIII?
Pretty sure you already asked me this.
No, 90% chance I'm not doing it this year, though my family probably think I am since I'm dieting, tanning, and removing bodyhair :P.
*AVBG did you do any sun-tanning for your comp? or just solely rely on protan? Either way the tan looked good.

There's no secret in contest prep except being consistent, goodluck in your prep.
*AVBG did you do any sun-tanning for your comp? or just solely rely on protan? Either way the tan looked good.
Rowdy, I got a good base tan at the solarium..once a week for 5-6 weeks then for the show I used a product called contest colour and final coat.. It's an Aussie company/brand.. check out their site pke.com.au Lee Priest uses their product...It's much better than the protan/dreamtan.
awesome bro! great job.
Congrats :)
Thanks Flex :)

Look up the ECA stack thread on the Supplements board, has been very helpful in bringing out vascularity in my chest and arms.
Basically 200 mg of caffeine, 25 mg of Ephedrine and 81 mg of aspirin.

Who took that top pic of you with the shredded abs?
I have a friend who's a photographer- he uses old school techniques (classic Leica camera) still shoots with film-doesn't use camera flash.
For legs all I do is 12 supersets of ass to heel squats (half pyramid up to 315) and stiff leg deadlfts (half pyramid to 225). Then to finish off- sissy squats- 5 sets @ 15 reps.
