I'm 16 weeks out from the June show I'm planning on doing, assuming it's the same weekend it was last year. I have a body fat test scheduled for Thursday. Since I'm just back to my usual off-season macros (after increasing them to accommodate for weight loss after being knocked out for a day with a migraine a week or so ago), I'm going to stay at those numbers for now. Based on what my body comp is on Thursday, I will make a decision as to when I will begin my pre-contest diet. I will, however, begin increasing my cardio. For the past month or so, I've only averaged about once per week. I'm also going to change my workout splits a bit.

Assuming the show I'm planning on doing is the same weekend as it was last year, I'm 15 weeks out. As of this morning, the website still says "date TBD", which is very frustrating. One, because my work schedule is set 2-3 months out in advance, and I don't want to plan my "peak week" for the wrong week; two, because the reason I couldn't do the show last year was because of a date change to a weekend I was working. I've emailed and called various contacts for that show. But, so far, I haven't heard anything back. If all else fails, there is also a show in July I was considering doing.

As mentioned a few days ago, I'm going to ease into pre-contest phase this upcoming week. I'm considering a few different options for workout splits for the next few weeks (until my next body comp test on March 15th). And I'm also going to increase my cardio. I will wait to see what my weight does with these changes before I begin dropping my macros.
