Wish Me Luck II...

Looking good bro. Getting real vascular. I think the condition of your back and quads is what will be the deciding factor.

[mindstar]

you look great bro! great vascularity.

[coffee-guy]

you look great bro! great vascularity.

Thanks bro...

Are you losing your mind without IPOP?? What's up with them anyways??

[vigil76]

Kudos--

Oh ya bro, come your last show you're going to be as lean as lean can get. Looking great bro, keep up all the hard work. Makes me get the competition itch again....Maybe '08 or '09. Definitely keep us updated!

[coffee-guy]

Thanks for all of the encouraging words everyone - it's helping keep me from hating myself too much...

However - my legs are hard as shit and when I first pop out of bed in the morning they're vascular as hell - I just cannot get ANY separation in them!!!!

I'm guessing I just need to be patient??????

Thoughts????

Looking good brother. I think your looking real hard. (I mean that in a non gay way of course). :D

Have any full body shots? Would like to be able to compare the upper body to the lower half.

Looking great man! Congrats! Almost there!

[Chadd77]

Also, what's your weight at right now? How much have you lost since you started?

[coffee-guy]

I have full body shots from two weeks out but I don't like them so I'll wait to post what I take tomorrow - upper body still takes my legs right now - not cool...

After carb cycling this past week I'm down to around 196 so I shouldn't have a problem making the 187 mark - just worried about my legs conditioning at this point :mad:....

They lost their server and akira is helping them transfer everything.

Woke up at 5am looking down at 198 on the scale - been eating 8oz chicken, 8oz sweet potato and 1 cup shredded wheat ever since - 4oz of water for the day...

Headed off to weigh-ins within the hour - fingers crossed I'm not above the 198 mark or I'll be running up and down the beach until I sweat it all out....

Drove 4 hours today and sorry for you bastards who hate the sappy shit but I thought about FB every minute of the way - I'm competing in the town we first met at 7 months ago and she can't be with me - everything is reminding me of her - what I wouldn't give to have her support through all of this - I envy guys like House whose significant others support them through everything they do - someday we'll have that - I'm sure of it angel :heart:......

Anyways - hope to make you guys proud - even if I don't win I'm positive I've made huge improvements over last year and I can live with that (stepped on stage at 170 with 7% bf ly and looking at 198 with 5% to 5.5% bf ty - I can't complain with those numbers)....

Wish me luck (again)....
