Hi guys It's been a while.. Thought I'd update you on my first contest I'm finally doing.. Cut down a bit quickly at 10 weeks out so I think I could have done a lot better doing it 22 weeks out preserving more muscle in the process. Currently 11% body fat at 167 lbs doing 3-4 hours of cardio a day.

You look great for 3 weeks out. I'm not to keen on you continuing 2 to 3 hours of cardio though... you need to cut back and try to dial in more through strict diet than cardio from here on in. Again you look great!

Looking great. From the back, stand atleast shoulder width apart and point your knees out, never keep your legs narrow. Pointing your knees out will show your vastus and give your legs more width and sweep.

How do you even fit 3 to 4 hours of cardio into a day? 30 to 45 min at night and 30 to 45 min empty stomach in the morning should be all anyone should ever need... especially someone in their early twenties!

Came 5th at the ANB Nationals for the under 80 kilos junior's division so I'm pretty satisfied with the end result. Best thing I got out of it would have been the experience.
Just noticed the pictures are slanted sorry about that.

I agree 100%
and fatloss is 99% diet. i get my abs showing just by tweeking diet and still lifting heavy with minimal cardio.

I do think cardio is great for health but mor ethen 1-2X a day or 1hr to me seems like over kill.

What i WAS goign to post before i saw that:

HOLY CRAP! you look great for 167!
how tall are you?
