    I had the most precise test done on me the reason my vascularity isnt insane in pic is no flexing and gallon of water a day. Your jealousy is killing your own focus

    You can but it takes a long time and i spoke to a IFBB pro who wonts me to gain 15 pounds of lean muscle in 2 months to compete for next season. At around 6-8% its easier because your body has more fat to work with to support energy and muscle growth
    What plan did this IFBBro give you to attain this seemingly impossible goal?

    Ultrasound is NOT the most precise method. I am a 47 year old woman, I am not jealous of you in any way. LOL

    I'm a world record holding powerlifter and I've placed first in women's heavyweight, but yeah, I'm jealous.

    Ultrasound isn't the most precise. As I said, that pro is just blowing smoke up your butt for your money. As a competitor I can tell you that I KNOW from your pictures that you are not 3.5%. Since that "pro" thinks you can gain more than 2 pounds of lean mass per month I KNOW they are ripping you off. Your money dude, keep throwing it away.

    Again, NOT accurate. Even with calipers, you'd want to pinch in more than 3 places (ideally, at least 9 or 10) - and that is still not very accurate.

    Her plan?

    Even if you intend to lean bulk at +250 calories a day, you'd be lucky to add one pound of LBM a month, so...

    Between the three powerlifts lifts, I total out at 1200+ lbs. How about you?

    I'm not judging, I'm trying to help. She set unrealistic goals and gave you incorrect data for your body fat. She's going to screw you over in the long run. Look into a company like Alpha Training Protocol. They deal with natural competitors and they have a solid, but realistic approach to competition prep.

    My fave go-to quote when dealing with detox woo and the like, but this seems fittingly appropriate.

    If you haven't noticed I keep telling you that it's not you, it's the IFBB "pro" that I'm bashing on.

    She is trying to help you! If you are an honest, hardworking person you should appreciate someone who is trying to help you not get totally hosed by someone making outlandish and unrealistic promises.
