So tomorrow will mark the end of the trial show prep I decided to do this year. The dieting process was not as difficult as I expected it to be. The majority of the time was spent slowly leaning while trying to maintain as muscle as possible. I started this process at ~200-205lbs. Lowest point while leaning was 180lbs. I began the Fill Out phase in mid June and that did not go as I expected. First small bump of calories and carbs I dropped to a new low in body weight. I’ve slowly added more and more calories in with daily check-ins to make sure I’m not flattening out or spilling over. So the fill out phase will continue but I leave for vacation on Saturday, so I will not be as meticulous and will indulge in great food and beverage. According to chatgbt I’m right in the sweet spot but I personally feel I should have been slightly more aggressive with the carb bump coming out of the cut and into the fill out phase. My lowest weight (in the fill out phase) was 178.6 yesterday morning. I’m 179.2 this morning. Over all I have throughly enjoyed the challenge and the process. My goal for next spring early summer is to do my first competition at roughly this same BF% but with a stage weight of ~185-190lbs. For those who may be interested my current BF% as of yesterday morning was between 6.8-7.3%bf. As I’ve gotten leaner I’ve noticed loser skin right under my belly button and on my lower back (love handles). I feel depleted but also soft today which is a let down but it is what is. I’ll keep on grinding. I apologize in advance if my posing trunks offend anyone.
