PEAK WEEK, DEPLETION, CARB UPS, LAST MINUTE DETAILS FOR SHOW PREP

[tmuscle]

To the fellow competitors here, what have you found works best for the last minute/peak week of show prep?


Do you like to cruise in without any sodium, water, carb depletion?

Do you load and then drop water completely for the last two days? What was your water depletion protocol like?

Do you use a diuretic? If so, which one? Which ones didn't work out so well for you?

Did you use a major carb up? If so, what carbs worked best for you?

Did you use a ketogenic diet for the last few weeks of show prep? Did ketogenic diets work for you or did you lose too much muscle?

Did you use any type of water manipulation tricks like salt baths, etc...

Any tips or stories about your experience with show prep would be helpful to many here i'm sure.



Thanks

in my opinion the less you try to manipulate the better

dont over diet and get too drawn out that you need drastic carb ups...this stems back to then giving yourself enough time to prep and making smarter decisions throughout prep. if you have muscle, and your in shape...like properly in shape, the final phases in my opinion arent key to success. they are often however what kill peoples look from over manipulation...

If you could point me to the name of the thread or a link that would be helpful.

I haven't been around these parts for a while, so I am not familiar with the current events around here.

I just know that FutureFreak's "stop runing your contest prep" thread got deleted.
