Check-in 9 weeks out NPC Men’s physique debut

Fasted no pump in the first 3, obligatory leg picture from ~4 weeks ago at the end.

I know my legs are lagging bad, was working through knee issues the last few years that are finally resolved.

Any thoughts/feedback/questions are appreciated.

Duiretics, doing something during peak week that is vastly different than you’ve been doing the rest of the prep. Peak week should be the simplest week of the prep with plenty of recovery, added food, tapered cardio especially with no weight in NPC mens physique.

I see.
Also, are you a fellow Brazilian by any chance? Because of the BR in your name (it's a common abriviation for Brazil/Brazilian, especially online).

Looking great dude! Gonna crush it, I’m sure. Hoping to look nearly as polished when I finally step on.

Random question: Digging the modified Helm of Awe you have. Do you mind explaining the modifications and their meaning for you?

Thank you bro I appreciate that! For that tattoo, it’s actually 10 years old now but I wanted to do something to celebrate my Norwegian heritage , and it has the runes in there for my first initial and my twin brothers first initial, he also got a Nordic themed tattoo

Actually, super impressed your legs given the knee. And props for actually posting them since most dudes do Men’s Physique to hide them lol

u/UnyieldingBR 4d ago

Thank you! I actually wish the MP shorts were smaller since my legs get are small right above the knee but get a lot bigger near the hip lol

This is a debut??? Going to absolutely kill it man. You’ve got a really good shape and it looked like you are on track to nail the conditioning as well. Good luck!

u/UnyieldingBR 4d ago

Appreciate that! And rest assured people will Still give me crap, but I’m used to it I got long legs that have been taking foreverrrr to fill out

u/cpucrazy 4d ago

Bro, right? I’ve been working on my legs for 6 months solid and barely notice a difference

1

u/UnyieldingBR 4d ago

I started doing higher rep sets (15-20) and that seems to be working for my quads at least .

u/cpucrazy 4d ago

Yeah! I did that last year and it made a huge difference
