I should have been more specific 
I want to be 3% by the caliper 7 site method...
Which is about 7 measurements at 4-5mm per measurement
I know in reality with under water weighing it's probably closer to 6% than 3%
I have been 5% by the calipers on my last contest and it wasn't lean enough.
Most competitive bodybuilders use calipers as the guide for there bodyfat and they aim for 3-4%
I will try to get the leanest I can but 3% on the calipers seems like it would be good when I take into consideration how I looked at my previous 5%

Hey Drexx , good to hear from you. I'm around the
same level of body fat. I have cuts in my pecs , quads , delts and I'm starting to see veins below my
abs and early signs of veins in my chest and shoulders.
I'm actually in the best shape of my life right now and I still have 5 weeks to go.
I forgot how tough this dieting is , it has been 5 years since I have lowered my carb intake and my body is in a state of shock. I really crave carbs and it kills me sometimes but I'm getting used to it.
I'm now doing cardio 5 times a week over 60% of my calories is from protien.
How is your posing pratice going , I have got my routine down but I'm still trying to perfect the mandatories.

Nice to see you bro!
You are much more cut than me
I have decent cuts in the pecs and abs but the quads and lower back are still super soft
Anyway I will do my best it's not over till June 02...
How much are you weighing?
Will you be in the Heavy's?
I don't have the posing routine down yet. I really have to work on it...
I am so busy. I have an exam on may 16th that I am getting ready for in order to get my college diploma. I keep failing this exam. I finished college like 1 1/2 years ago but if I don't pass this french exam I get no diploma Damn Government!!!
Also I am moving on May 31st 2 days before the contest. It will be an hectic week.

That is really tough Drexx , you really have alot going on that can hurt your chances. Don't give up and give it all you got!!!
I'm actually taking a week off work on the last week just so I can focas on this contest.
What I can't beleive is how much weight I have lost. Yes I'm in decent condition but holy fuck I was 210 when I started and I'm 185 now. That's 25 lbs of fat and water and I still have some weight to lose. I didn't think I would be this light but I have kept all of my muscle.
It is possible that I might be in the middleweight division but I don't know yet. I would prefer to be 177 or heavier but like you said , we won't really know until June 2nd.
I found ECA and Clen made a huge difference during precontest prep. I never used them before and it's like night and day.
In the end I really don't care how much I weight , just as long as I lose the love handles before June and that I don't screw up the carb load.
The posing and tanning are under control so I only really have to worry about the diet. I do enjoy this but I can't wait for off season. My goal to get up to 225 by the end of the year.

I am very busy but I love the feeling of being a competitive bodybuilder.
It's just so nice to have a purpose or a goal.
The feeling of waking up at 5am to do some cardio while most other people are sleeping is incredible.
It's nice to see the progress on a weekly basis. I love the feeling...
When my life gets less complicated I will surely place higher but that doesn't matter. I will do the best I can.
See you there, friend...
