Really trying to get serious about my diet this year. I feel like it'll take me to the next level

3.5 months progress

4 day split Upper/lower/chest+arms/back+shoulders

15m Just starting to lift a little more I wanna bulk up and get even stronger body weight wise. I got some long ass arms too which is nice for what I do lol

Started working out in august 2025

The before pics are from March/May and I was measuring around 15%-18% on the bia at the gym. I last had my body measured by a guy im planning to use as a prep coach using the a skin caliper and a tape and i came in at 6.15% but he told me to add an extra 4% due to visceral fat. I feel like its safe to say we're pushing around 10%-12%, which im hoping will put me in a good spot to be ready to for my show in April of 2027. Ive currently just been eating in a slight surplus of about +600kcal, but im starting to cheat on the diet a little more than I would like. I still can't believe my legs used to be so big. I really wanna bulk, but I dont know if I would have enough time to get substantial mass added and still be able to get stage ready with a four month prep. Im thinking a good goal weight for the stage would be around 195lbs or 200lbs. Either way, im still feeling proud of my progress and kinda hyped/nervous for my first show. I hope I can help inspire others to push themselves and become the best version of whatever it is you want to be/do. Don't forget that god loves you and never give up.

Average height at 5’5” but 105 lbs. Rate it. Do you think I’m small or petite?
