Man, it gets harder to keep up with this the more cardio I add to my day! But I love having a record so here I am

. Starting 3 weeks out (last week) I have begun to randomize my routines to emphasize definition and detail more than size. I've been increasing the pace of my workouts, adding more/different exercises, reducing the weight and increasing reps, and doing more supersets dop sets etc to really hit every angle and bring out every fiber! On top of that I've added 20 minutes of stepmill at the end of each workday instead of a short run. I used pinchfold calipers yesterday and my bodyfat came out at 4%! Stoked!

All has been going well aside from the knee issues, which seem to be clearing up. I've even been doing some light abs twice a week with no pain! And I'm really happy I decided to skip the 'low carb' contest prep strategy and stick with a high carb whole food diet. It's much healthier, I'm as lean as I've ever been, and I feel great!
