Steve I am not trying to get to 176.
Middle weight is 176-187 so i am in the middle.
So no drastic measures needed

Ah! i never knew they still had the old weight cut-offs at shows anymore.

Most provinces are doing the new cut-offs as well at the provincial level. It's trickling down.

Light middle used to be up to 176, middle to 187, then light heavy. They got rid of light middle, renamed it to middle and combined the old middle and light-heavies. Trickled down from the shows beyond canadian nationals (ex. NAs). Either way, I hope this didn't hurt your prep plans in the last day or 2. They should really make it clear. I am sure there was a possibility of making 176 if you really wanted to. However, I think that type of drastic measure should be reserved for when it really counts. IE - if you think cutting to 176 improves your chance of a top5 in order to get to nationls, then sure. For a regional show, if you need to cut a weight class to place top 5, then in all likelihood, provincials would be tough.

Although, the above reasoning likely doesn't apply to you - you've been to provincials, and you'll have no trouble qualifying no matter what class you weighed in at! kill it!

well contest is over.

I was confused from the weigh in's the the results!!

I weighed in at 179.6 lbs and tehy told me I was light heavy!! I was like WTF???
the combined middle and LH together. 176-198lbs
6 guys in my class.

I think I looked great dry, ripped full.... but I guess the judges didn't think so and I got 4th!! honestly I and everyone else I talked to even the pros that were there could not understand what the judges were looking for! the guy who won my class won the best poser and the overall! not to be an ass or anything but I don't think he deserved to win! he was soft in the upper body. granted he had good legs! but come on.

Same thing happened with the heavy weights. everybody thought the guy that got 3rd or 4th shoulda won.

would be nice to know what the judges were looking for.

Don't get me wrong I am happy i qualified but damn I think I need to rethink what kinda condition I gotta come in next time

gonna do a photoshoot next weekend at my buddy's gym and thinking of trying the physique division in london next month.


here are a couple pics

Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement throughout my prep. really appreciate it!!

and thanks to Delt King for getting me in the best shape of my life!! you the man!!!
