Thanks Brandon...it was tough because it was my third show and I started to diet in February which lasted to October...my body just was very tired and wouldnt do what i wanted...never again. I have a buy to the Nationals anytime so the next one will be different.

For you I would suggest trying to remain lean and not going over say 225lbs...this will make dieting easier and allow you to build much more lean muscle because your insulin sensitivity will be much better. Once your BF gets over 10% the amount of carbs you can eat diminishes greatly otherwise fat deposition becomes a problem.

Thats what happened to me too, I went from dieting for nationals to a huge bulk season and dieting 16 weeks to provincials. My body just wasn't working at full steam and I suspect half the reason my concussion I got at work was so severe and couldn't heal properly.

And thats exactly what I'm doing now, I took a bit of time off from strict dieting since the accident and have cleaned up my diet now my morning fasted weight today is down to 224lbs. I lose weight extremely quickly at first and seem to get back to a leaner state within a week of dieting with insulin sensitivity in mind. (funny, I just wrote an article on insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance today on my page lol) I'm currently off all gear, and only taking Ostarine and a few peptides at the moment "bridging" between cycles. I've been off for about 8 weeks now and plan to take another 4 weeks off, cleaning up my diet and getting leaner before i began again, like you said to increase insulin sensitivity and getting to a leaner state (I believe I'll level out around 210-215lbs knowing my body). Of course being in a leaner state will create leaner gains and better efficiency with nutrient absorption (increasing insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism) will without a doubt give me a better platform for lean gains and an easier contest preparation for provincials next year with of course less muscle wasting.
