4 Days Out from the Jay Cutler Classic-Beginning of De-Carb Phase

TMC is really on fumes with only 4 days to go.

Pre-judging is actually Saturday Morning about 11AM.

Here are a couple of pics right before the first Depletion Workout tonight:

For those of you following at home, you can see I’m still holding a bit of sub q water.  As much distilled as I’m cramming in and with very low carbs coming the next 36-48 hours, I should dry out nicely.

The best part is retaining size in my upper chest/pec/delt tie in.  HIT Training has really paid dividends as my chest is noticeably more cleaved and thicker.  Will I be able to maintain the fullness in the photos as the carbs go lower and skin dries out?  I guess only time will tell.

Sam Sacket has booked his trip and will be staying with TMC this weekend.  He has been maintaining his condition now for more than 4 weeks and that is an accomplishment in itself.  Mad props to him.  There are a “few people” who think he’ll probably win the show if he shows up in the same condition he evidenced last weekend at the Orange County.

At this point, all I can think about it the BREAKFAST PANCAKE FEST on Sunday Morning before Encore Beach Club!!!!!  I know there are some reading this site right now laughing out loud.

I know I was going to discuss IF/CR and potentially utilizing it during the last couple of days.  Due to my conditioning being on point so early this time, I don’t need to add it to the arsenal.

Only real question is how many carbs to eat on Friday to stay “Full” for Saturday morning Pre-Judging?  Gotta figure all this out over the next couple of days.  Don’t wanna spill over but also don’t want to be too skinny and over depleted.

Wish me luck.

Coming soon a post about Janet “Jae” Rutkowski and her spray on tanning company:

Martini Spray Tan

She provides absolutely the best pre-contest tanning formula available.  Her spray is amazing and provides the deepest, longest lasting natural color you’ve ever seen.

    All good man, working in the Barcelona office. When you guys coming? It’s a short hop from Ibiza. And training hard-though got side tracked due to a degenierative disc in my lower back. One year of Phys Therapy and I’m back to strength training. Send me your regimen brotha!
