Check-In: 15 Weeks Out from OCB Natural Viking

Hey Everyone,

M33, 5'8.5", 164.3 lbs

Checking in again now that we're a couple weeks closer to the show and I leave for Portugal tomorrow for the honeymoon with my wife. Feeling REALLY good about where we are at with prep right now going into the honeymoon. My coach and I have planned for a diet break while we are in Portugal, so I'm looking forward to relaxing, eating a bit more, and enjoying some adventuring with my wife.

Current macros are 200P, 60F, and 150C with one refeed day that bumps carbs to 350. This past week didn't include a refeed since I'll be taking a diet break in a couple of days.

I attended a local posing seminar this past Saturday and got a couple of hands-on tips and tricks, so I think that these photos should be presenting my physique a bit better.

Condition continues to improve, and we're now starting to see some better detail in the legs. I can't wait until I'm fully shredded and NOT depleted to see just how great this look can get.

As always, I'm open to any and all feedback, comments, or critiques.

Hey Everyone,

Providing an update now that we're 3 weeks closer to showtime!

M33, 5'8.5", 170.2 lbs this morning after a refeed day, and a new low of 168.3 the day before.

Weight loss has been great over the past 3 weeks with my current diet and refeed schedule. Normal macros are 200 P, 60 F, 165 C and my refeed days are the same with the exception of carbs getting pushed up to 350. Today is my first day with reduced macros in 2-3 weeks, with my new carb target being 150. It's crazy how few carbs that actually ends up being.

Performance is actually still pretty great overall, and I find myself being able to push really hard on the first two days of the training week, which feels nice.

The look is coming together nicely, and I feel like my hard work building up my legs and working on my mobility has helped balance out my physique quite nicely. The posterior chain (hams and glutes, specifically) seem to already have nice lines coming in, which is not what I was seeing last prep at this weight.

As always, I'm open to comments, questions, and critiques!
