My legs have always been muscular and large, when i was young we never had a car so i rode my pushbike everwhere, i used to run a lot 1500m for school, and was involved in all field events, and having worked as a scaffolder for over 15 years carrying scaffold boards and tube must have helped, good genetics must help.

18 weeks is perfect mate, james will get you there he is very good.  as long as you do exactly what he tells you then you will be in great condition come show day

18 weeks is loads of time and you have james' help so you will be fine.

you have no worries at all, you can make loads of change in 18 weeks and james is honest enough to say if he thinks it is too much of a tall order.  

All i know is i think you have have loads of time i reckon you could be ready in 14 weeks, so 18 is plenty of time

ha ha, mate you have plenty of size, and your not carrying huge amounts of fat, so like i said its a great position to be cutting from-ie good size and good condition offseason!  you should look very good once in stage shape!
 
sorry mate, should have been more clear it was a positive comment, but it never occured that it might be taken otherwise!
 
have a look at the photos of me at the front of my journal when i started cutting last year for leeds, at 16 weeks out, wasnt as big, and was carrying more fat than you

Great pics mate - yes clear improvement since I saw you.  If you continue at this rate you will be fine.

Improved legs and back definition is striking for the short time period

Still no socks tho!...you is gonna catch your death matey....lol.....just zooming in for a pointless comment...well...it's Sunday.....does the little fella copy you?...

Thanks for popping in, well as it happens yes he does as i an posing for these pictures i had to get him to move as he was standing in front of me copying what i did, took him swimming today and as we were getting changed to come home, this really fat chap got undressed and he said out loud `look daddy fat belly` i said to the chap i was sorry, but then when i told the other half she said was he fat i said well large busting out of his shorts, why did you apolygise its only the truth, to be honist i didnt see it that way, its not the first time he has said thing out loud he does it a lot in the supermarket

lolol...brilliant!...gotta luv 'em...truth comes out of the mouths of kids hey....I wanted to say that your pics looked good compared to the earlier ones but as I don't have ferkooking clue what I'm on about I'm sorta hesitant to say...and I don't want you to think I'm a perv!...no way....just like reading about how folks are doing....hope that's ok....have a good week...ng

thanks but you dont really need to know what you are on about you have another set of eyes and thats whats needed, next time i post up pictures i will put the first ones next to the new one that i will take in 2 week so a comparision can be made,

Great job with posting always good to see in pictures in post as to were your are .Looking back at you old pics you side tri is you best and a tanned back shot in good.

As you know you are a big chap and the waist line is were you need to shift the fat from and is mostly the last place that lets go of fat stores .
When you have dropped you BF% down lower, than you have ever done before you will see how thick your upper half will look and give loads more over all shape,which you will be over the moon with.

Keep up the hard work.

No probs bud,I think with all dieting , show prep and bulking, having help to your goal is a must have if you wish to get to there in the best way/shape possible, and as you know from the start you must stick to the plan 100% and the outcome will be what you are aiming for.

Great...glad it's all coming together for you....(lol like I have a clue)...i did legs last night and went out for a run this morning aswell....bit rainy but good to be out in the air...and saw a fox!..whoooooo.....cant' you have a clear soup or something like that to stave off the pangs or is your diet really hugely strict now cos you're near to comp?....(I'm guessing I already know the answer to that one but just asking anyway)...I was thinking miso soup?...something like that.....

funny you should you see a fox because i see one the other morning down at the seas edge, take no notice it just the hungar talking, what am i moaning about i get to eat every 2.5 hours, i should count my self lucky, just fancy something naughty not long now untill sat night, might have a indian this week, now my mouth is dripping just thinking about food, what we put ourself through so we can stand on that stage in our underpants so all the world can see.

mate, there are so many posts like this in my journal at the begining as i dieted for my first show.
 
hard to see at the time but the only thing that matters is being as ripped as possible!  before the show i was thinking too small too small.  after i was thinking wish i had lost another 2 lbs, 2 lbs!!
 
you have more than enough size, all that matters now is low BF
 
as someone said to me, there is no tape measure on stage
