I'd actually think that to be easier. Wayyyy quicker to get into contest shape. I think I'd rather stay 10-15lbs from show condition and have a 6 week prep than drop 30-50lbs and have a 12-16 week prep.
I lost 20 pounds...How? I drank bear piss and took up fencing. How the **** you think, son? I exercised.
I find it a hard when you're doing a show every month. I did it in 2006 and while it wasn't that hard mentally or physically to diet and maintain near contest condition, what I did find is that I could not maintain my muscle for that long at a low body fat %. I can easily maintain muscle at 10%, but when I was hovering from 5-6-7 %, that is when it started to show. I was looking worse from show to show even though same body fat.
Perhaps it might have been easier with "assistance". Never again will I try to do shows outside of a 1 month window. week to week is another story, I find that is ideal.
what would you think about a couple shows two weeks apart?... I am thinking of doing a show in Vegas, but it's 2 weeks after provincials... a few people I talked to said that's perfect... you do the show, have a nice cheat, then just diet again till the next one... opinion?
2 weeks is good. 1 month gets difficult as it becomes a balance to get weight up a bit then bring it back down so there you're not burning up muscle as steve_d said.

I agree with Nate and Steve on this one.....Off season I am roughly 30lbs heavier, but I can lose weight like a Mofo so its not that bad, and I don't have to diet too hard - thankfully - and I don't have to do any cardio to lean out.
I say go for it - I think it would be an amazing experience. Which provincials are you doing?
