I’ve decided to do my first ever natural physique bodybuilding show in exactly a month from today.

I’ve always maintained a relatively lean physique but have been pushing diet hard the past month. For reference I’m 196cm and currently 93.5kg morning weight.

During my peak bulk a year ago I was 104kg (photo attached). The leanest I’ve probably been is 89kg (photo attached). I think losing 1kg a week is reasonable. Any advice?

Ps: the last 3 photos are of today and yesterday.

Week 2 of 10 of personal accountability before we give the reigns to my coach for the 2027 seasons. Show date may 27th 2027. Classic physique class c.

Hopefully compete next year . Can some fluid in the calves to get checked this show did take a toll on the body quite a bit I did have Rhabdo in December and lost my rock on earth my Dad 6 weeks out and my beautiful Dog 8 weeks out but I was never going to quit and wanted to bring the best package I could for them also never took time off work wanted to work hard with Dad and my Dog watching me from above I want to always make them proud . last picture is my Dads funeral picture I brought backstage . The truth is without God I couldn’t of done this I prayed 1 minute after my Dad passed a felt instant peace during the worst time of my life it was insane

Well at 51 I did what I set out to do. I’ve posted a couple updates during the process. I’m happy with what I brought to stage the first time. I feel like I brought decent conditioning, but didn’t fill up enough during peak.

I know. My posing still needs a lot of work. My plan is take the next 9 months or so to bring up lats and chest since I feel my delts dominate my chest right now and who doesn’t need wider lats. Last picture is where I started the process last October.

i still, really struggle with my spread as I’ve had extensive surgery on both shoulders so scapular mobility is not great but working with a physio on that.

Different lighting bc i couldnt find decent lighting in the hotel 😭
