contest .. to pull out or not

[lilgumby]

Hey guys , a question for the competitors . Im 7 days out and am still holding lower back fat ...usually im watery there until we dry out but i can pinch a inch . this morning after cardio i got in the sauna in a suit to see how much i could drop and it was very little . Im no carb now and flat but dont think a diuretic and filling out will help

so in your opinions would you pull out or go in 90% . My sponsors will prob not be happy if i pull out but id like some other opinions

Once I made a commitment to do a show I did it no matter what. And if I didn't look good that was my fault and would spur me to do better next time.

What's the worst that will happen if you step on stage out of shape? You just wont place good, not the end of the world.

What's the worst that can happen if you pull out of show, nothing, no one will miss you.

It's up to you and it's only important to you, no one else really cares. Unless you are a pro bodybuilder with contractual obligations

Is this your first show?

You look a good 4 weeks out to decent condition, 6 to nasty condition. I'd pull out if it were me and just save my money. I'd continue dieting just to get a feel for how much further YOUR body has to go to get stage ready (not go all the way nasty shredded, but much further than you are now).

The truth is you're not holding water, you're holding fat--and quite a bit of it.

Gotcha--in that case I wouldn't do it for sure. Knowing I'm way off just would make me feel bad mentally the entire time.

If you know you're not ready why do it? Pick a show 5 weeks from now.
