Matt,
You are looking very good and IMO, if you can keep the waist under control while you are adding more mass, you can be absolutely amazing. I have seen you post and read a lot of your messages, but please answer the following when you get a chance:
- When you are dieting, how much weight do you lose per week, and for how long are you able to keep up the fat loss? While losing this fat, how much muscle do you lose in the process? Did you ever get very precise body composition analysis done in off-season and right after a contest to compare?
- Can you detail your carb cycle a little more? How many days low and how many days high?
- When you do everything perfectly according to the original plan with carb cycling, macros etc, how much do you think your fat loss or metabolism slows down towards the end? Do you feel that even with the cycling and cardio your fat loss comes very slowly during the last few weeks? How slow? Do you feel sluggish last 2-3 weeks?
- Finally, what are your plans? Do you plan on turning pro at some point, and if you do, how much more pure muscle do you think you will need to do that?
Ignore the haters, you are on the right track...
