So here it is... my update video showing my somewhat final results for my pre-test Physique competition prep. Basically I have been bulking and then cutting since January of this year to initially put on some muscle and then cut off as much fat as possible to get my body in what I was hoping would be Physique Competition condition.
In January I started out at 182 pounds at around 8% body fat and then bulked up over two months to as high as 204 pounds with a body fat percentage of 11-12% body fat, I then took a month to level out where I watched my calorie intake but was not cutting so much and stripped off 1-2% body fat at right around 200 pounds. Over the months of April and May I did my hard cut dieting and was able to get my body fat down to between 5-6% at a final weight of 192-193 pounds.
Overall I am very happy with my progress considering last year around this same time I was only 175 pounds lean, so there has been at least a 15 pound increase in lean body mass over the course of one year.
My plan now is to repeat this 5 month bulk, level off, and cut process but less extreme this time and get to as close to 200 pounds but still in that 5-6% body fat range so that I will be ready for my Mens Masters Physique competition in November of this year.
Watch my YouTube video to see how I look and let me know what I need to work on...
