What show are you doing?
I have been tossing around the idea of doing a show but dieting kinda makes nervous.

id say your most notible flaw is that your left arm and shoulder are overall smaller than your right.

Thanks for all of the fedback guys. Your comments let me know that I am on the right track. I have dieted harder during the past 12 weeks than at any other point since I first picked up a weight!

I love the challenge of contest dieting, but I also love that it allows one to see what needs the most improvement. My arms have long ben a weak point, but believe it or not, prior to this year my back was even weaker.

My main priority this past 18 months was bringing up my lagging back and rear delts. Next year, I obviously want everything to increase, but will be giving that extra attention to my bis, hams and calves.

Definitely a big improvement bro., to me the biggest changes where your quads and back! What was your diet like?

Hellish!

I have been eating 1g carbs per pound of bodyweight per day, and a total of 2700 cal/ day. I do this for 5 days. Saturday, I have a low-cal day: 2000 cal. Sunday is a day to spike calories and metabolism: 600g carbs, 1g protein per lb bodyweight, as little fat as possible.

This is a variation of Chris Aceto's carb-cycling and it has worked great...although I do feel like hell...I look a lot better!
