Thanks so much JJ, I can feel your support leaping right off the screen. you've got a lot of positive energy.

Here's a pic I took this morning before half of the ProTan came off in the shower. I'm a little bloated from drinking 7.5 gallons of water since Sunday while salting all of my meals. Salt tops this evening, the its time for the muscles to absorb this water and shed the excess.

Please pardon the face in the pic. I'm not used to being up before noon.

Heh. Didn't notice the face that dang Bi was too distracting. Definitely lookin show ready.

I hear ya about the tan washing off. I can't do tanning beds so that's my only option. What product do you use?

Rasp, I am using ProTan. It looks like a deep natural tan today, but no where near dark enough for the stage. They say when you think you're dark enough, put on one more coat.

Thanks for the support, NewSpawn. Before I started on The Cut Diet, I was 193 pounds, I'll weigh in some where between 174 and probably 178. I'm not concerned with my weight, just appearance. I'm six feet tall.

3 Days is more than just one of the greatest songs of all time by Jane's Addiction, it's all the time I have to wait to get on stage and get this going ON!!!

Today was my last session with weights, and I made it as though it would be my last workout ever. HIT IT HARD AND QUICK. I felt every bit of every rep.

Close Parallel Grip Lat Pulldown
150x12 120x15 110x8
160x10 130x7 120x11

Close Grip Low Row
180x10 150x8 135x10
180x11 150x9 135x12

DB Shrugs
90x12 60x12 50x13
90x11 60x11 50x13

Cable Curls
100x14 80x11 60x9
100x13 80x7 60x15

Standing Calf
100x14 80x6 45x8
100x10 70x8 45x7

Then it was D4 time and some posing. Was already sweating big time. My shirt had some nice light ProTan stains developing. Then it was 35 mins at 21% incline speed 4-5 630 calories burned.

I am so happy to be done salting my food. I was starting to get slightly weirded out by the water retention. But it is already dissapating.

I went back to the gym to pose tonight with my boy Nathan. Nathan will be doing his first show Saturday as well. He has made amazing progress. One year ago he weighed 300 pounds. He should be competing at around 205. Next year when his skin has tightened up he will be a monster.

While posing I noticed something that made me happy; Slight lines forming on my upper glutes. There's still an outside chance of Striations. I'm going to keep squeezing and dropping this water.

Tomorrow is just 25 minutes of cardio and POSE, POSE,POSE. Then some ProTan on top.

Here's acouple of shots from this morning. Water is being shed!!!

**MacTech** · 06-21-2007, 12:23 PM

Good luck with your show bro and remember to smile while you're posing.

Looking good... kick their proverbial asses on stage.

Thanks, yeah, it's hard to smile when waking up when I usually go to sleep. But trust me on stage will be ear to ear.

pammiejoe6 · 06-21-2007, 07:24 PM

wow Bill you look FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

JJ_Sungirl · 06-21-2007, 11:45 PM

Heya Bill,

What song will you be using for your posing routine? Did you get your music professionally mixed or did you do it yourself?

I'm using Always, by Saliva. The night routine is just a minute long, so i'm just using the first minute of the song. It has some good tempo and intensity changes. To be honest I really haven't put much work into my individual routine. It counts for a tiny percent of your score. The whole day is pretty much decided during the mandatory poses at prejudging. I do hope to entertain at the night show, and best psoer would be nice, but only if it is accompanied by a first place award.

**Crader** · 06-22-2007, 01:37 AM

:drink55:Very nice! You should do well it looks like you have really put in the hard work. Take first place and run with it:drink55: Heres to your success!!!

Christine, thanks for the toast. I'm so ready for Saturday. A couple of more coats of ProTan and dropping the rest of this water. Tomorrow's carb up will have me eating things I haven't eaten in YEARS. I think my teeth will hurt, but I should fill out well. Then I just need to nail my poses and leave the stage knowing I gave eberything I could. once I've done that it's out of my hands.

**DarkFalcon** · 06-22-2007, 05:22 AM

Looking killer Bill, should be lean and mean for the show. Knock em' dead! :clapping:

Thanks DF, I'm ready to rock. I've put on more ProTan and am now finishing my fist piece of chocolate cake in two years. I'm almost afraid that it will make me relapse. In a hour its bedtime, and then tomorrow Breakfast/ProTan/checkin, and then its on!!!

I've alreadt had phone calls from two of my brothers aka other Scivation sponsored athletes, and am motivated and ready to take the stage to represent myself, and my benevolent sponsor.

Thank each and everyone of you for your support since I started logging here. I started a log in the workout section at the same time which I think I will let lapse, because this is the section of IronMass that I feel at home. YOu are all wonderful and positive people. Remember, if I can do this, so can all of you.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right. I can.

Nighty night. I'll post results as soon as I can. There will be updates on my BB.com thread with the same title as this. Semper27(Ben) will be in the audience taking pics and video. I'm happy he'll be there, instead of onstage. He's a freak. Glad he's on my team.
