6 weeks out vs 3 weeks out, take your vote.

So at 3 weeks out I do think that was my best physique ever.
It had that perfect balance of fullness and conditioning. I overdid it coming into the show in the last 2 weeks where I dropped more weight as I wanted to be bone dry shredded and I lost around 8lbs in those 3 weeks. I’ve said I could’ve came in 10lbs heavier and this is more or less what I looked like if I did!

Having said that, actually at 6 weeks out, I could’ve competed at 270lbs here. I was bigger, fuller and rounder and my conditioning was spot on for that period in my prep, but not quite what I would call razor sharp which was always my aim when I competed.

I’m interested to see what you guys prefer, three or six weeks out, vote below.
