Getting closer now to the Vancouver Pro Am, only 4.5 weeks to go so time to dial in the diet and start getting shredded. I love and hate this part of contest prep. Most days I can deal with the diet just fine but then there are days when you hit a wall. I usually like to throw in some higher calorie refeed days at least once per week to help me deal with it.
This week I am down to 2000 calories per day which usually puts me at 2000 calories under my Maintenance so even if I only hit 5 days per week like this I am still 10,000 calories under for the week which should net me about 2-3 pounds of fat loss this week alone. Next week I may bring up my calories a bit depending on how I look and feel and then I will drop them down again closer to the end.
I'm still holding my weight pretty good, usually between 212 and 215 depending on what I am eating that day. I should drop down to under 210 but when I carb back up for the show I hope to hit somewhere between 210 and 212 pounds for weigh in day. This will mean I added around 15 pounds from my last show the Popeye's Fall Classic where I had my debut in Classic Physique.
I have decided to only enter the "Open" categories and not the "Masters" ones at the Vancouver Pro Am since the cost for each category is the same at $215 each with no discount for add on categories like they do in many other shows I have entered. I just can't afford to pay $1000 to enter the 4 classes I wanted to enter for a show with no real prize money involved. It doesn't really make scence that we the athletes and the main entertainment are the ones paying for the bulk of the show. The cost of vanity I guess :) I will be paying the $215 (times 2) to compete in both Open Classic Physique and Open Physique.
In terms of my results on the MK-677, it's kind of hard for me to know for sure since so much is going on in my life right now with my contest prep! Exercise, diet, supplements are always changing so it's really hard to know what is effecting what. I do feel that the MK-677 is helping with recovery since I have been training really hard (at least 2 hours per day usually 6 days per week) and I am still holding together... I did notice some hand dumbness, a bit more than usual as I do get some in my hands when I sleep. I was taking 15mg of the MK-677to begin with and then increased it to 30mg but just recently I dropped it back down to 15mg. I felt the MK-677 was interrupting my sleep as I was waking up with anxiety which made it really hard to get back to sleep again. I was also feeling sluggish during the day. Now that I am back down to 15mg which I take at night, my sleep is much better and my energy during the day has returned.
