Should I scrap it?

Swolecows · Nov 13, 2003

I am less than 4 weeks out from my contest and am not in the shape I should be(this is my first contest and still working on dialing it in). I am going to do the Orangd County instead. Should I continue to diet up until the Dec. 6 show or bulk for 2 months and start prep for April 3 months out(at a much lower BF% this time)?

I wouldn't..You are getting up on stage to let other people critique your physique..Don't ever go into war unless you are ready..

Don't do the show if you're not ready. Continue the diet and practice your posing. See how your body reacts when you dehydrate yourself and carb depleat/load.

Do the show next year when you're ready.

I speak from experience.

I am going to continue my prep. I still will hit 6-8%, but I am going to bulk, but keep the BF under 10%. I should be able to hit April on stage between 260-270. I made up my mind today, but it nice to hear it from others.

Swolecows, how about sending me some pictures .Just Pm me. I will tell where you are at and I could help steer you in the right direction.Were you going to do the iron man?If you do the Orange county ,I will most likely be there as well.What are your stats?Why not hire a prep guy, especially the first time out.
