Getting ready for next Show

bluto · Oct 2, 2007

This is me in the Middle, at Local show here in New Zealand last Saturday. Now getting ready for The Nationals here in 11 days time.

Still burning off more fat over the next week, still unsure how to stay fully hydrated while removing all subcreanous water. I always hold alot of water and when I drop it, it also drops from the muscle making me very flat.

Distilled water or Mineral water?

You're very humble - you didn't mention your first placing.

Well done and best wishes for the Nationals in Christchurch.

Bro for the next week drink as much water as you can hold, probably around 10-12 litres per day. That's right! 24 hrs before your show drop your consumption for this period down to one litre for the full 24hrs. Every time you take in a little bit of water your body will piss out heaps. This should rid you of any excess without the need for diuretics. It will take aprox 24 hrs for your body to realize that water intake has dropped before it goes into reverse. BTW congrats on your placing and all the very best of luck for the big show in the next week and a bit.

Thanks ollfulla,

I always switch to distilled water 10days out and drink 10+ litres every day all the way till wednesday then cut back to 7.5 Wednesday, 3.5 Thurdays, 1.5 Friday and then .5-1litre on the show day ( Saturday ). Maybee I cut back to soon???

All I did for this last show was load with dry carbs (potatoes and kumera) about 300g worth of carbs spread throughout friday with small portions of chicken and fish and some peanut butter. It didnt feel like it went anwhere thugh and ade me bloated. Perhaps I need more water on the friday?? Or less water but more simple carbs???
