I'm currently prepping for the Jay Cutler Classic on May 2nd and/or the Rhode Island Championships on May 15th. It all depends where my conditioning is at. I'm nursing a muscle strain in my front right delt and have been training around it.

I'm 193 Lbs in these pic's @ 5'9" and 42 y/o
 
You have some pretty nice set of wheels and Awesome chest development that I wish I had. I would like to see a little more fullness in the upper pecs and lats with exagerated insertions. You have two months, that should be plenty of time. You got this bro! Keep it up! I'd love to see your progessions, keep them comin'.

I like to be ready at least 2-weeks out. I have a tendency to over diet if I go longer.
 
My back sucks too but my supporting back muscles take most all of my beatings from deads. What I'm really jealous about is your cephalic vein on your arms. I just don't have the genetics.
 
I just trained shoulders for the first time since my injury without incident. I'm very happy and relieved. 6 weeks out tomorrow.

What were u able to do for shoulders? Normal stuff or did u have to stick to safe exercises?

I played it safe for the most part. I did dumbbell laterals starting with 10 Lb'ers working my way up to 35's in 5 Lb increments. I did machine shoulder press and not the typical smith machine ones that I do because of hand placement.
 
Well, it finally happened. I was in a house fire during the critical weeks of my prep and did fine. I’ve always had a fear of crashing from the low carbs. I keep these oatmeal/whey protein bars in the pockets of my turnout gear just in case. I didn’t need them, but had a couple slices of pizza back at the firehouse and my metabolism just destroyed it. I followed that up with some whey in water. I was worried we might get a similar call later in the night and wanted to have the carbs onboard for it. I’ll do extra cardio today.
