as far as the show, i ended up placing in a few categories. got a couple 3rd places and a 4th place. i was happy just to place. it was a fun experience.

updates on whats going on right now, well, im back up in the 190's again and my strength is starting to take off, so im hoping to add some size. i still look pretty lean for my weight. i can see my abs, but there is some fat there too.

at 175 i dont really know what my body fat was. at 185 i was at around 6% when i got calipered, so i figure i probably lost a good bit more fat from 185 to 175, but probably also lost some muscle with it.

what amazes me is the amount of change that happens when you flex a muscle when you are ripped. the last two pics i post of the side relaxed and the side tri for example. in the relaxed shot my arm just looks really smooth, but when i goto flex it i get a lot of things happening. when i was fatter, there was still a change, but not like that.

incredible!! Can you describe your cardio? When you did it and how long? How many days per week? etc.?

Very well done, something to be proud of!!!

when i still had a lot of fat to lose i would run 1 to 2 miles after each workout. if i felt tired that day i might skip the cardio.

once i started to get pretty lean, i cut back my cardio to 15-30 minutes. usually i would either run or jog. once i began to really see results i started using the stationary bike or eliptical machine for 15 minutes.

the reason i cut back on cardio time when i lost more fat is because i didnt want to burn muscle. that is also the reason i switched to the bike and the eliptical at the end. running is harder than those exercises because you are supporting your own weight more.
