Anyone know how I could get ahold of a bunch of I.V. Bags and catheters without stealing from a hospital? Lol I loved that we did this in the army quite a bit as practice. But what a way to hydrate!

Holy shit....

a) you look a lot leaner than in your older profile pics.

b) 204 now? Holy shit....how tall are you?

You are a big fucking chic

 

[psizzle_8]

A) thank you! And yes I am. Wish those pics would go away lol
B) I'm 5'10" .. Even when I was at my buffest and lowest bodyfat, I was in the lower 190s. My goal here in this precomp cut is to get down to the 170s, at least the 180s. Haven't been in that range in years, but it's what I want, so it's gonna happen. It's in my genetic code to be huge and muscular, but that doesn't make me happy so I've officially begun a battle with my genetics

Well if you get your BF low enough so that you really are shredded you'll obviously be quite a bit smaller but you'll still be jacked.

 

[psizzle_8]

Right. I know when you're super cut you appear to be bigger, but I'd prefer to be that way than just straight up big, you know?

I'm excited to see what the next 11 weeks holds won't stop there of course...but I'm stoked to see this transformation I want/have in my head come to life

Hey Psizzle, great updates and progress in here!

I've made a decision myself over the last few days to compete in at least one show in March if not both. I'm going male physique for now before going into bodybuilding possible next year just to get a feel for the stage, prep, and what not. I've just been blown away so much by how effective and awesome that GW has been, that I decided to go for this. My contests are on the 16th and/or the 30th of March so between 7-9 weeks away. My condition right now is very very good, so I think prep will be a breeze. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm starting prep now so I'm right there beside ya.
