Down to 218.8 as of this morning. This may go up a bit as I'm In Miami on a mini vacation.ill still be training though there is a nice small hardcore dungeon type gym right down the street from our condo. Still haven't changed diet or supps as im still dropping weight slowly. I'm shooting to get blood work next week though because I've honestly been feeling exhausted all the time. Here's some updated pics nothing crazy just a few I took to keep a time line on progression. Last pic is the balcony from our timeshare. Drealdeal still isn't here . Hope everyone is well and gains are good and the shred God's are giving.

Been dealing with some home issues recently so my apologies on not posting a bunch. If anything all things that have transpired over the last week has tremendously refocused my energy and drive in the gym. Essentially all I really have at the moment besides headaches and temptations all Around me.
I've honestly been fucking killing it though. I'm sitting at 215.2 and tightening up by the day. I'll be posting daily here to give to log a boost as I got a little behind.
This morning I did 30 minutes cardio in a.m then at lunch I did hammies and calves
Hammies
Db stiff leg
60x18
70x16
90x14
110x9
110x8
100x9
90x10
80x10
Single db stiff leg with toes on 10lb plates. Doing this movement I allow the db to travel out far in front of me. Doing this really stretches the hell out the hammies especially with the toes elevated. At full stretch I'll hold there for a two count and then explode back up.
80x15
100x13
130x10
130x8
110x11
100x9
Seated hammie curl
Single leg, single leg right into double til failure for 6 sets

80x12
90x9
90x8
95x7
50x20
Db laterals w 3 sec negative ( stopping way before the legs to keep constant tension)
25x15
30x14.
35x11.
35x10.
15x21
Front raise db with a twist at top(thumb pointing down)
35x15
40x12.
45x10.
45x7
15x18
Db laterals with same twist as above
30x15
35x11
35x10
35x9
Seated db rear flyes (thumbs pointing down at top of movement)
40x9

Had another great day of training. Firing on all cylinders right now. This morning fasted a.m cardio.25 minutes on tread at incline 8 and speed 3.0 nothing crazy but enough. Not sure exactly what's up but having alot of troubles focusing lately. I think it's due to being under alot of stress at the moment. I even noticed it on my physique today. Definitely was holding more water then I have been for no reason at all. Everything was the same as it's been. My guess cortisol is very elevated. My mood today was much better though so going to keep eye on body tomorrow and see if I notice a difference between high stress and medium in regards to a watery look.
I have to be honest I feel right now all I have is the gym and this physique. It sounds sad but I'm really embracing it. I haven't felt this motivated in the gym since my last prep. I know weird right.
So later in day after cardio about 5 hrs later I hit chest. It went like this.
Chest db press 80s the whole ride. The set goes like this. You start at the highest incline that's not a shoulder press then you do ten immediately get up and drop a notch on the bench. Then you do ten again and then same thing. You do this all the way to flat then you start going back up. This is 1 full set. I did 3 sets like this. Then I did the same exact thing but db flyes for two full complete sets. Then standing cable flyes for 4 sets.
Night time
Quads
Hack squats for volume
Total of 4 plates for 25 rep sets doing 5 total sets.
Walking db lunges with 75s . Pretty far walk to and then back. Did this 5 times
Leg press single leg single leg into double for 25 reps each leg and then 25 with both legs. For 5 sets.
Goblet squats with 140 db standing on two platforms. One for each leg, so I could get very deep. 5 sets of 20.
Night time cardio.
Stairclimber 25 minutes at level 7.
I'm basically at a fuck it point and going to push as hard I fucking can. I'll stop when something gives. The hard part is my mindset is also saying double every dose I'm taking lol. That I won't do but I may push the envelope a tad harder then my initial mindset when this began. Next week starts carb cycling so I'm pretty excited about that because my body responds awesome to it. Time for bed guys. Hope everyone has a great day and made a bunch of gains.

It's honestly going exactly as planned. What I liked about this contest is there is (was) plenty of time to do this properly without sacrificing lean muscle. The next few months is where the magic is going to be though.

June 15th u mean. (Next few months?)
It was once extended to that.
I ask cause I planned and timed everything for June 15th.
Have bloods, lab testing for thyroid, lipids a ton of stuff in July so I am already limited. Oh well... ha ha.!!

But for Chad, I didn't have a lot of weight to lose so I have tried to move as slow with things as can be...
Problem is I still came in prepped to cut after lean bulk and could have cut in 15 days after it... so now I started Cut and cut stack and just gonna float till 18 days from end!!
