hey guys,
im thinking about doing a small competition. its an "in-house" competition being held at my gym. its on october 29th, so i guess i have a little less than 7 weeks to get ready - can it be done? and just so were on the same page here, this is my first competition ever!
i only considered all this few days ago while looking at the picture board in our gym. i had already seen it before, but this time i was really intrigued and contemplated the idea of competing in my head. i then approached the guys at the desk and asked them "who can i speak to here about competiting ?" they then suggested this competition to me and gave me a newsletter to take home and read, although i had already made my mind up on the drive back home
i think this will be great. being that its small competition, i dont feel so pressured, and its kinda like getting off my training wheels
i gotta admit, im actually really nervous about the idea of peacocking with a pair of trunks especially seeing as the already sold out audience will see me every day after that! haha
my diet is as follows:
1) wake up shake - 2 cups of skim milk, 1 cup of egg whites, 60-70g of oats and 1 banana
2) 120g of (uncooked) rice and 200g of chicken breast chicken cooked on a skillet with a moderate amount of olive oil, herbs + spices and a small amount of bbq sauce
3) 120g of (uncooked) rice and 200g of chicken breast (preparation as above)
4) can of tuna with 4 slices of whole grain bread - only eating this temporarily as im using up these foods over the following week; this will then change to 400g of potatoes and 1.5 cups of egg whites or a can of tuna
5) post workout shake - 30-40g of dextrose, 60-70g of oats, 1 cup of egg whites, 2 scoops of protein powder and 1 banana
6) 200g of chicken breast (preparation as above), 30g of cashews and 30g of peanuts
i have a few questions; firstly, do i need to cut out skim milk or banana now? secondly, while cutting, is it ok to use dextrose as your primary sugar source in post workout shake? thirdly, should i carry on eating nuts in my last meal, as i exclude carbs? and lastly, how long into my prep can i use olive oil in my food preparation?
should i make a plan right now as far as water, sodium, and carb loading is concerned? or, should leave this for later, and worry about my diet, training and posing for now? where should my priorities lie at this point?
i also wanted to mention i want to run test right through, as i was supose to not start this cycle for another month. as soon as i finish the comp i will kick things into gear and get serious for summer lol
i dont usually have a probelm with bloating, but is there any protocol i should implement as far as getting as dry as possible on the day of the contest?
ive taken some pics of where im at right now; no front or leg shots right now, as i ate a few roast beef sandwiches, and my stomach was looking like a balloon. havent worked out since friday so these are all cold shots. i will upload some pumped up photos post workout this coming week.
im actually winging this on my own at this point, so any advices would be much appreciated!!
