The 'Sadhana': My Off-Season & Competition Prep Journey

My final update, 3 days out from the Sheru Classic. Body weight is 96 kgs, and I am still consuming over 350 grams of carbs. My method is about working with the body, not against it.

Four weeks out from the Sheru Classic. A lot of hard work is still to be done, but the conditioning is coming in. This is the phase where discipline is tested the most.

The abdominal and thigh pose, four weeks out. I did not even know I had 8 packs until now. This is the result of a precise nutrition plan and consistent training.

Five weeks out from the Sheru Classic. Practicing my back relaxed and front double biceps poses. Constant practice is key to making the poses look effortless on stage.

The goal this time is "onion skin." This is my back double biceps, five weeks out, at 101 kgs. The focus is on bringing unparalleled detail and dryness.

Front double biceps, five weeks out. Even at 101 kgs, the abs are visible and the V-taper is prominent. This is what a structured off-season and prep can do.

Six weeks out from Amateur Olympia. The back double biceps pose can make or break your placing. I am focusing hard on nailing it to the core. Body weight is 106 kgs.

Seven weeks out from Amateur Olympia. Shredding week 5, body weight at 105.5 kgs. The process is slow and steady to preserve muscle mass while dropping body fat.

Nine weeks out, body weight 108 kgs. I will not lose, I know this. Even when I feel broken, I will keep fighting. This one life cannot be spent in regret.
