Exhausted

[msc173]

Is it normal to feel like absolute dog shit 9 days from my show... Wow I find it hard to get off the couch much less workout. I get it done no matter how tired or hungry I am. 1st show as well

Yep, if your very, very low bf, you should feel super exhausted. It will get better once you start taking in some carbs.

The closer you get to the show, the shittier you will feel from carb depleting and doing more cardio. Hang in there until after the show. Then go out to eat at your favorite restaurant which will make it all worth it.

Yes cutting weight sucks assuming you are?

I train a girl for Ms.Philipines in the early 90's. She ask me how you know you are ready for the show? My answer: When you feel like shit. 1 week before the show, she told me she felt like shit. She went on to win the overall and was the leanest at that show.

Yes i am cutting weight went from 247 to 225 at 5'10 right now my hamstrings are showing but my glutes are not quite there. I never really try and get to out of shape like a buddy of mine came from 280 and is going to show at 210. It is just a state show but I never want to get second haha

Im not sure if im carb depleting my fats are extremely low 38 grams..... my carbs have stayed the same since the beginning 1 pound of red potatoes, cup of oatmeal and cup and half of brown rice all during the day none at night.

Sometimes when we get to dry[take duiretics] we feel like shit.

You will go from feeling like shit, to having a ton more (nervous) energy than you know what to do with the night before (or when you go check in). You'll be excited and exhausted and not be able to sleep.

It's a very emotional experience. At least it was for me.

When I feel like that, Ibuprofen helps. Believe it or not.

AN old saying comes to mind here "Why do we have to feel so bad to look so good"? Yes sounds about right.

 

[Bigd50]

It's mostly mental. Sounds like your not starving yourself so..................

I'm an ibuprofen addict, seriously. When I feel bad or are sick, ibuprofen can make a world of difference.

There was an old actor who said, I'd rather look good then feel good. Cant remember who it was.

MSC, even if you don't feel great the day of the show, do your best to enjoy the moment. I see so many guys that look and act miserable and seem to be having a bad time. Embrace this experience. Trust me, it will be over in no time and you will wish you'd enjoyed yourself. Meet a lot of people and make a lot of friends. You have busted your ass, that day is your SuperBowl.

If your not exhausted then you might not be lean enough!
