LAST WEEK PREP, WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO ???

[chris250]

Well all the shows (local and national) are coming up in the next months or so....And Im sure some of the new guys on here wanna know what some of us more experiance guys do....here is mine ...

Sunday to Tuesday...

Diet - Normal (already doing low carbs, dont need to do even lower)
Water - Very high intake (2 gallons a day for me)
Sodium - Still using good amount of sodium on everything ...
Cardio - Still some in there, but lowerd cause of how fast your metabolism is (of course this is different for everyone)
Training- More pumping stuff, higher reps, trying to avoid being to sore, or getting injured

Wens to Saturday...

Diet- Carb up (wens, thrus 75 grams each meal, Vartigo, sugar oatmeal, rice) 6 meals to day around 450-500 grams
Friday- Kinda judge this day but around 50 grams per meal, rice cakes, potatoes, are my main sources of carbs....I will put some natural low sodium PB on my rice cakes...Protein on all 3 days is only 4oz. pre meal...Friday night I will have a good steak and potatoe meal (butter, bread ,ect) ....

Water- Wens (2 gallons), Thursday (2 gallons), Friday (1 gallon until 8- 10 pm) No water after that, just slips here and there...

Soduim- no soduim on anything on Wens, Thurs, no sodium on friday unitl the cheat meal (late friday night)....

Saturday morning - I like to have a good breakfest cheat meal of eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and 1-2 pancakes with syrup...This is about 6 am for me...Has always worked well for me...I will also have maybe 4oz. of water then nothing after that...

Ok lets see them guys/ any quesitons just ask

very good strategy. the main variables and sodium, water and cardio. which would obviuosly differ from person to person depending on their condition. also some might need to wait til thursday to carb up.

That seems pretty darn close to what I did. I'm a big fan of doing that early Saturday morning cheat meal except I skip the eggs personaly. Also if possible I would wake up at like 3am and get a meal in. I found myself fuller in the afternoon, so I would just start eating earlier to time it right for 10am which is right about pre-judging time.

Morning Breakfast

A lot of BB's eat that "junk" meal before prejudging, but I think the theory is to NOT drink ANYTHING at all. I guess it's a mini-shitload to put back the sodium that was depleted. You'll hit the stage with a great pump due to the raised blood pressure from the sodium.

Few of the "guru" advocate cheeseburgers a few hours before stage time.

me too, had deep dish pizza in chicago for the jrs at 3am. got almost 3 peices of giordanos down. but fuck i couldnt even swallow it with no fluids.

The last week of the prep I like to train overall body for three days, carb deplete for two days and load for one or two days, on these days no training just posing practice. I have a high water intake normally but about three weeks out I push it right up. Usually aroung 12liters per day. I do this up till 24hrs before the show. Then drop my water intake to no more than 2 liters for the last 24hrs. I like to have a big meal of fried rice the night before and then get up at whenever I get up and start eating a little fat and carbs for the morning show/prejudge. Usually have a box of mars bars on hand at the show and start eating a few before pumping up. A little scotch while in the pump up room and really get into my groove. When I say a little I mean just that, probably one shot the whole time. Really brings the vascularity out and helps calm the nerves a bit. Step on stage, do my thing, collect my trophy and go out and watch the rest of the show with friends!!

you look amazing chris250... best of luck to you in the upcoming comp!


I am confused though... isnt this whole playing with sodium levels what was advised against and deemed to be not necessary and VERY dangerous in another thread on here :
