i noticed you have the fat cheeks even when ripped. You don't happen to have the nephrotic kidney thing, do you? Runs in my family and does the same thing, some look like that even when low body fat.
Either way, I hope you take one week without bodybuilding - and see how you like it. The road to "competing a year from now" is a long one, and really, unless you're willing to to all out with the gh or 2-3 grams, it's difficult to move up more than a few spots. I guess I'm saying, if going all ouot isn't your goal, maybe don't put too many resources into it.
I understand what your saying. There are a few factors in going to have to take in consideration.
As far as nephrotic kidney no I don't believe so I have had full blood work and urine done every year as a adult and everthing is always 100%. My kindness actually have a mutation were I have two arterys running to each one. I found that out during a ultrascan when a torn a rip muscle.
All my water wight just go Instantly to my face. The min I start eating again bam 10lbs of water.
