Ok here is a sample of my pre-contest diet plan. 120 days left until contest. Trying to get down to 8%bf or so. Hope I make it. I will be posting pics every couple weeks to show my progress. Carbs will lower the closer I get to contest day. 4 days of cardio and 4 days of weight training per week. Keeping it heavy! Cardio will increase as I get closer as well. I am now at 230lbs 5' 9".
