Carb/water depletion cycle advice required, pics attached

[bcr83]

Hi all,

I have been lifting properly with a sound diet for about 10 months. Dropped a lot of BF and have reasonably good symmetry with only problems being that I carry chest fat and have a bit of loose skin down the bottom of abdomen.

In the never ending quest to understand more I have done some reading on pre show carb depletion (and reefed) as well as water loading etc.

Is there a sticky here that I've missed or is someone knowledgeable willing to provide a regime for me to try this out at the end of my cut? More or less I just want to see what I can play with to get a real lean look..

I've provided a pic to give you an idea of how I am currently, I am quite vascular even on bulk.

5,8" 162lbs around 11-12% BF guesstimate (torso)

I also get dexa scan twice a year.

You won't find a sticky on what your looking for. Honestly, thats where the money is at. There are some personal trainers here that will help you thru your goals but at a cost.

However there are a lot of members who have been where your at and may help you out without charging?? Sorry I can't help you much there. You may want to get a diet layed out or a game plan of what your looking to acomplish and post it up. Then you can ask some questions and people will be able to help you out better.

A cookie cutter diet is not what you need anyways. It will have to be tailored to your body only. By the way....... Looking good in the pics!

Thanks for the reply, I have been using a PT for the 10 months however I that time I have researched and learnt a lot a out basic diet principles and macros etc, my trainer has won several natty comps and has done similar things prior to going on stage..(carbs and water depletion)

I guess just trying to see what has worked for people in the past because there's so many people on here..

Cheers

I'm sure someone will be able to help you out. Wish I could, but I am still leaning about all that myself. If you don't get anyone to respond, try the search feature. It can be a pain in the ass sometimes but there is so much info hidden in old threads its unreal. Just got to look around.
