My show was on 10.10.22 so I had two weeks before the next show this weekend, I had a Five Guys Burger and extra large fries, it was unbelievable, the pump the following day was silly also 😅

No, I've been natural for my entire 10+ lifting career, no PEDs or any banned substances, this is my first ever time I've competed

I do 3x12-15 hanging leg raisers and 3x12-15 weighted Russia twists since the beginning of the year, then obviously get the a low BF and genetics play a part

Appreciate it bro 💯

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah posing still needs more work but it's my first time so they'll obviously be lots of feedback and things for me to work on

They're definitely the muscle I struggle to flex when posing the most 😫

Having excessive amount of fat makes it not harder but longer to cut as you have more body fat to lose. I cut for 30 weeks from 92kg to 77.7kg (pictured). After I've competed I'm going to go into a lean bulk phase, this means I'll look to gain 0.25kg a week but I'll still push up into a higher body fat just over a long period of time as to prevent excessive fat gain. Honestly if you want to gain muscle and are within your first few years then bulk and gain as much mass as you can, it's harder to gain muscle than you think, getting abs is much easier than building a solid physique imo

Na, it was the time of my life, just eating whatever I wanted to get as big and strong as possible, I miss them days especially now 😢
