Pmaks88 Contest Prep

[pmaks88]

So the names Pete, And i'll be doing my first show on May 23rd. The date to start dieting is next Saturday. So i figured I'd jump the bandwagon and start a journal...to take you guys on a journey of my trials and tribulations Right now the scale reads 208, and the computer at the gym said im 10 percent bodyfat...not sure if its true or not. I'll add pictures soon.

Best of luck with your prep, Pete. What show are you doing again?

And are you getting any assist from Tim? He certainly knows what he's doing if you go by his track record.

[joel.dale]

u still have plenty of time. dont go by the computer readings. I know those pics are from 3 weeks ago but by the pics you look more like 15%bf.
you have a good taper bro and your back lat looks pretty dang good. focus on comign in shredded and its your first show so have fun! probably look pretty good in the middle weights

[lilGiant]

best of luck! Nice to have yuo in here!

[hossjob]

Awesome to see you starting this journal Pete! Good luck.

[flexingtonsteele]

ur not 10% bf but just diet hard and dont stop or think ur getting too small or ur losing muscle or anything, mentally dieting for a show is a bitch, but stay strong and you'll be alright.

good luck.

Nice taper, but I agree, ur a little bit off with the BF%. I have an electronic sensor on my scale at home, a new one, and its whack. Even the slightest things throw it off, especially hydration. One morning, I woke up, took a piss and weighed myself. I was 205 and it said 24% bodyfat. That would make my lean body mass at around 155. I competed in September at around 180 non-dehydrated, and I'm sure I didnt have 25 pounds of fat on me then, so theres no way I lost my LBM or was that fat lol. Anyways, work hard and youll be money. Good luck!

But I have plenty of time to improve. I've been training for almost 2 years....June will be 2 years. As far as my diet goes...I've had Vasochard with some Waxy Maize in it before i trained at like 2...then i drank my protein drink with WM in it half way into my training then finished it at the end...did 30 mins of cardio 15 on the bike and 15 on some sort of eliptical thing. Got my heart rate up to like 120-130. Finished that then had my tuna and relish. Now im going to have my chicken, rice, and broccoli.
