Thanks guys...transitioning diet wise this week slowly. Best workouts of my offseason the last 2 weeks though. Firing on all cylinders and weights are finally getting back up where they used to be when i was fat lol. Although this time lean.
Trying to figure out how lean to get seems to be the issue. I'll probably just get as diced as usual and try my best not to flex anything except abs. Practicing my little walk and twisting side stance (feels gay)...next i ll be getting facials, mani/pedi's and frosted highlights (not) lmao.

I would say as lean as you are couple weeks out is plenty...these guys are still faily lean. You just don't need to come in ultra dehydrated. Basically, it becomes kinda fun...no sodium manipulation, no diuretics, just wake up looking the way you normally do at a very lean state, and just skip out on drinking water the day of the show. At least that is my opinion on the whole thing. Some guys who succeed are probably not even as lean as you are today - it really all depends! But those guys carry less muscle, and therefore need a little bit more bodyfat to not look invisible on stage. Same stuff can be said for the girls who compete in figure, or bikini...some need to be lean, others look better with a bit of chunk

looking good!

Morning weight has been around the 193.5 to 195lbs all week. Changes are still happening and i'm feeling good. 8 weeks out as of today so plenty of time to come in crisp.
Still no cardio sessions at all

Looks good! I honestly think you don't need to get too much leaner too. Fun eh?! I know its hard to change the mindset, but you really hold your bodyfat well in terms of what (i think) they are looking for. A little water depletion and I think you're basically about there! Keep holding off on the cardio as long as you can!
