Today was the day I planned to decide if I was in fact going to compete in the upcoming Leigh Brandt Muscle Classic and much of it depended on how my body responded to a hard week of fairly severe calorie deficit dieting and I have to say I am pleased with how it went and can say I will be in fact competing 7 days from now.

I for sure have my work cut out for me but based on how my body responded this past week or so and how I feel at the moment I am fairly confident I can lose an additional 3-4 pounds of fat for the show which should place me at a competitive body fat percentage on stage. I don't expect this week to be easy but it will be an interesting learning experience finding out how a short and intense cut works for me as I have never prepped for a show in only two weeks. That said I was maintaining a fairly low body fat and decent amount of muscle going into this so I was not super far off the mark.

Watch my update video and take a look for yourself and see what I am looking at 7 days out from the show! I will be posting more videos this week as it is peak week and lots will be going on to talk about...
