how did you do it ?

what was your diet, workout, cardio and stack like  ?

          Diet was high protein,very low carbs,very low fat,sugar,sodium etc
          cardio was twice a day (45 mins in the morning on an empty stomach/45 mins at night after all meals were consumed)
 "Stack" was Winstrol 1-cc (every other day i think? starting at about 4 or 5 weeks out)
all oils were stopped
GH (3 iu's 5 days a week/weekends off just to save money...would stay on 7 days a week if rich)
halo (forget dose, orals i think)
i had some Masteron (oil based that i didn't tell Larry i was using/sorry Larry!!!! as it was oil based and he wanted me off all oils...but i heard it was great for contest prep!)
Test suspension 1-cc on the alternate days i didn't use Winny
and that was it!

Shit!  my bad..................i did use some Clen (tabs) and when i ran thru those i switched to the ECA stack
i kept everything as "normal" as possible with regards to my weight training
I'm a firm believer that it's the cardio and diet that strips the fat off and you need to stay heavy (relatively speaking) with the weights to keep your mass!
so i trained the same (almost!) pre-contest as i did in the offseason (reps slightly higher tho 8-12 rep range as heavy as i could)
there were some days tho lol! (i was beat from the low-carbs ...you just gotta push thru is all)

  Thanks!
  yea ill def compete again
  the way i dieted and trained/ate for this first show is exactly how id do it again!
  my second show i got lazy and complacent (came in heavier around 225 lbs ) and looked like re-fried shit
  i dieted only 5 weeks that time (trained/cardio half assed) and it showed!
  i learned either do it 100% or not at all!
  so when/if i compete again ill give it 100 % effort like i did at that first contest (it's really all about hard work..that's the real "Secret")

Mike don't you think that 70lbs of fat is way too much to lose, cutting into muscle in the process?
