Here we are 3.5 weeks out from my Victoria Cup Men's Physique Fitness Contest and so far so good! I am consistently cutting 5000 calories from my base metabolic rate each week and I am feeling leaner even though my weight has not changes so much. I know I have put on some muscle but still in theory I should be down about 4 pounds from when I started and I am perhaps only down 2 pounds.

I imagine some of it could be water retention since it is summer and I am not eating super clean just yet, that will come in my last two weeks of cutting. I am sitting at 6.8% body fat right now according to my Skulp Aim Body Fat Measuring Device. My workouts are going great and I still have energy most likely because I am replacing the carbs I burn each workout and avoiding energy draining cardio workouts completely!

Watch my latest 3.5 weeks out from the Victoria Cup update video complete with some shirtless posing :) More to follow next week hopefully in 4K if I get my SDXC high bit-rate memory card for my brand new Sony RX100 IV Camera!
