Just as a side note, last show I competed at 73kg, and started dieting down from 95kg. But I was a lot fatter lol, like easily 25% bodyfat, if not more, and that 73kg was not as lean as I should have been. I reckon I would have been 69-70kg if I would have been on point.

I'm expecting this time to be around 90kg on stage. Which will be a big improvement hopefully, but it has been 4 years so I would hope that I've made some progress :p
 
All Stoodles this show. I haven't been properly lean since I competed last, so I have no idea where I stand and if truth be told, my heads all over the place in terms of what I really want from this sport. Do I want to properly pursue it for a few years and make a name for myself in terms of winning shows etc. Or do I want to just compete casually from time to time?

Competing this time will help me make my mind up on that knowing where I am physique wise, if I do well and look good, I'll consider getting some assistance with my beard again and going for it. If I look like **** and I'm not happy with 4 years of progress, then I know just to stick to it as a hobby
 
Friday: Quads

Leg Extensions (4 seconds up/4 seconds down) - 60kg x12x4

Just the thought of paused work to squats and THEN high rep front squats makes me feel weak at the knees...

Relaxed back shot.

At this weight I still have love handles which completely ruins my back in terms of showing off my taper. But pleased with the thickness, I have proper depth to my back now which I'm pleased with and if I can work out how to take pics of my back would show it off tensed and flared where I am really pleased with it

Had a sports massage yesterday for general maintenance to keep me from snap city, and it was biuriful!

She said my shoulder is in a much better position than it was when I originally went and is sitting in the correct position now, whereas before it was always being pulled forward. She said the mass in my chest, and especially the shape had improved a lot, because I was now able to use them properly rather than be all shoulders in pressing movements.

Still says I have very tight lats, but has given me some exercises to do at home to improve until my next appointment when she'll attack them properly

Highly recommend getting regular sports massages done if you're training a lot
