    There’s gonna be hiccups along the way, so dedicate more time to the prep than you think. Getting in condition takes longer than most anticipate. Factor in maintenance weeks in terms of calories as many leave those out.

    Thanks Kiera. I will make everything so that the things will be as smooth as they can possibly be.

    I would be starting prep now. However this doesnt mean start coming down straight away.

    I would be locking in a set meal plan, output and training schedule with no freedom so you know exactly what’s going on with the current set up.

    I would then spend some time driving food up from here within this setting and monitor body composition. I call this pre prep work with clients.

    you then start working your way down, making sure you are ready early with time to practice loads, refers etc and practice show day runs

    Thanks Peter! Great instructions. I will continue with my current cutting plan and adjust later after I drop more bodyfat.

    Where you’re at now I would’ve continue the cut. Get yourself near to stage ready the you’re in the position to pull back manage fatigue and eat into the show if you need to. If you go into a gaining phase now at 16 or so weeks out you probabaly won’t get stage ready.

    Thanks for advice. I will do just that.

    Hey. I’m from Slovenia. It is a very small country. I’m not enhanced, so I was thinking the same way to just slowly peel of the fat and see where I’m at. Also since it is my first prep I think it’s better to have more time than not.

    Pull session completed early today.

    Rack pulls 2x
    Single arm cable pulldown 2x
    Neutral cable row 2x
    Straight single cable row 2x
    Reverse peck deck 3x
    Sitting bicep curl 3x
    Sitting hammer curl 3x

    Finished with abs

    Morning weight: 98.05kg

    I bough a new scale yesterday and looks like my old scale was really broken since the difference in weight is 4kg. That also explains why my weight was 7kg higher in the middle of the day when I weighted myself on the other scale.

    Things will be more accurate now.

    Big leg session finished.

    Hack squat 2x
    Leg press 2x
    Lying ham curl 2x
    Leg extension 2x
    Db lunges 1x
    Adductor 2x
    Calf reise 4x

    Went for a standard leg press today and it killed me. So the progression on leg extension wasnt achieved. Still overall a great session.

    No cardio today just 10k steps.

    I increased my sodium intake from 9 to 10g since I am sweating more and doing more cardio than before.

    My weight has not dropped a lot which is weird because I feel leaner. I will go and buy a new scale tomorrow since cirrent one shows 5 different numbers when I weigh myself.

    I didnt progress all the lifts but the strenght seems to drop fast especially on push day.

    Lying hamstring curl 2x

    In terms of the diet I dropped some more food this week.

    Training day: 281P 600C 58F
    Rest day: 272P 422C 78F

    I increased the cardio to 30min on and reduced the intensity to 130bmp from 150bmp so that the cortisol levels get down faster after training.

    I also do cardi in the morning now apposed to doing it after training since my energy level are getting lower at the end of the session.

    Lying ham curls 2x

    Leg extension 2x

    DB lunges 1x

    Side single cable pulls 2x
    Peck deck 1x
    Cable crossover 1x

    Progressed all my main lifts which I’m very happy about, especially progress on flat press.

    BG was 4.5 this morning which is ok.
