Two weeks to competition

In fact, less than two weeks till my competition in Miami on June 23-24^th. I am at the end of a tough week of extensive carb depletion. Tomorrow is my carb up day.

I weighed myself this morning. The scale showed 170LB and that’s without any glycogen in my body but with some water retention still from the normal sodium levels. After tomorrow I will be probably 172LB. And then carb depletion again till three days before my contest.

Like I said I plan on being 163-164LB without the subcutaneous water on Friday 23^rd.

I will be posting more on how my last days of my preparation are going.
