You definitely got the fat off.
I would much prefer a fuller look, but good work.

His plan for me is to keep eating the same for now. Cut carbs completely on sun-tues and then start carbing wedsnesday through the show next saterday. WShat are your thoughts on this?

Considering how you have dieted thus far, I agree with that strategy.

I think going forward if I continue to compete i would do things a little differently. More in line with the advice you have been giving. Thanks for all your replies.

Last day of training was friday. Having serious lower back issues. In a fair bit of pain. Canā€™t sit for more than 5 minutes. Been pretty much laying down and eating/drinking all weekend. Had some films done but donā€™t any info yet. Legs are def done but might do 1 exercise per upper body part just to keep the blood flowing.
Gas a light massage today and back to chiro tomorrow. Officially have prep brain. Canā€™t wait for some carbs on wednesday night!!!

Went to doc about back today. X-ray shows SI joint impingement. For now they want a course of prednisone and they gave me some muscle relaxers and pain meds. Iā€™m gonna hold off on the prednisone until after the show. Donā€™t wanna risk any water. Iā€™l have to look at the side effects of the other ones and decide to take at least the pain meds or not. Iā€™m pretty uncomfortable all the time now.
Looking forward to some carbs tomorrow!!!

Best of luck this weekend. Enjoy it!

Thanks!!

Might an adjustment and/or physical therapy be helpful?

Currently going to Chiro two times per week. Relief is very temporary.
Going to continue this go for an mri if I donā€™t see any improvement.
Doctor wants me to run a course of prednisone but Iā€™m not starting that until after the show this weekend. See how it goes from there.
