It looks like you are consistently gaining about a pound a week, which is right on schedule. I would suggest that you keep the macros the same for now, but add in a free meal of choice once a week. Try and to have it on the same day if possible, just so it is easier to stay consitent and it will also give you something to look forward to. I also liked having mine as the next to last meal of the day. This way I still stayed on my diet and I was usually not hungry afterwards so getting a shake in, instead of 3-4 meals was easier. Have whatever you want!! You should be full, but not stuffed or making yourself sick. I know it sounds crazy to say that but sometimes it's hard to make yourself stop haha, trust me I know! For now the only real reason for a free meal would really be psychologically(It's nice not to have to worry about how much carbs or fat is in something) keeps you sane and because being so far away from competition it will not hurt you. As your diet gets more strict in janurary the free meal will be removed, INSTEAD a refeed or high carb day would be added. Calroies will be raised significantly coming from carbs; protein and fat will both be decreased. Fat mainly because taking in more carbs with fats could lead to higher chance of storing it as fat, it could slow the absorption of the carbs(Not a big deal until closer to show), but mainly fats are so high in a calories it would take away a good bit of the carbs you could eat. As far as the reason to lower protein always remember
more carbs=less need for protein
less carbs=more need for protein

I know we havent talked much about some of the processes, so that was just my thoughts on the cheat meal and refeed. Any questions feel free to ask!

No problem Ripped! At some point when you get ready to cut, we will have talk about if you would rather do more cardio or take in a fewer calories. Some people hate cardio and would rather eat a little less and some prefer more cardio. Also peek week would need to be some what addressed. Their are so many different ways to go about it would just come down to how aggressive you would want to be. I erred on the side of caution and did not really fill out all the way until the night show and it was to late by then. It's best to get an idea of how you look from your refeeds, but that is only a guideline.

OK last couple of weeks every thing has been good, but this past week I just have not been happy with the way I look in the mirror. I look puffy, more fat if you know what I mean. Yeah it was Halloween and I ate some chocolate, but damn not that much. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like it. I couldn't get my cardio in today since the wife had to leave and I had the baby, but I was able to get my AB's in today.

AB's:

Hanging Leg Raises
20, 20, 15

Superset With
Rope Cable Crunches
140x25, 25, 25

Lying Leg Lifts

3 sets on everything.

Get on the diet good and give it the rest of the weekend. You can always do a mini-cut and then increase calories. Just let me know which way you would rather go and I can make some suggestions for you.
