You have a good basic shape but if I am being honest I think you should pick a later contest 6 weeks is a long time but if you want to place well you will need more like 8-10 weeks.
Yes the pictures came out.
What show are you doing? Are you doing amateur? I'm sorry to tell you, but you're not lean enough. Not in 5 weeks. However, is possible that you're doing this for the first time and want to have the experience so the next time you can do better.
If you look at my thread "June competition preparation" two days before the show I had a meltdown because I thought I didn't look ready. The thing is we never know who's going to be at these shows. It might be someone who looks great or not.
My question is what is your diet like? because all the cardio in the world and all the suplements will not make you lean unless your diet is spot on.
If you have any other questions please ask. I would really like to help you. I am so upset at your coach!!!!!!
Thanks girls for being honest. I think I will try my hardest and see how I turn out and decide right before the show. I already bought a suit and my trainer seems to think I will be ready so we will see. My diet is a carb roll of 0 - 0 -50 - 25. I just started this diet right after those pictures and have seen a major difference even in a week and a half.
Here is a typical day for me.
60 min stepmill
Meal 1: 2 scoops isopure protein shake(no carbs) 50 protein
Meal 2: 6 oz chicken with zucchini
Workout
Meal3: Same as meal 1
Meal4: 4oz tilapia zucchini
60 min stepmill
Meal5: same meal 4
Meal6: same meal 4&5
Before bed: same as meal 1
That was a zero day, on 50 day I add 25g of carbs from oatmeal at meal 1 and 2, on 25 day I add oatmeal at meal 1 only.
This diet has really been working for me in the last week. I just am getting worn out from all the activity I think.
Please let me know what you think

Just my 2 cents but it is not all the cardio more the insulin roller coaster. If you would do a keto style diet you would feel more energy as you would be burning ketons. Also your cardio could switch to something less high impact as on a keto diet best to aim not to get your heart rate about 120 beats. I think with that style diet you would have a better chance of being in the shape you need to place well. If you want to do it as learning experience I totally understand that too.
True what I mean is more that your not eating a lot of carbs even on your carb up days will which will mean you feel like crap even when carbing up as it is not a true carb up it like eating just enough to kick you out of keto.

SuperQ will fill you in on her diet, but I wouldn't suggest a cheat meal when you need to lose and are so close to comp. I personally have a cheat meal months away from com. You need to be spot on at this point..
