help for competitors

hey all.
i compete nationally so if anyone has questions on contest prep or just any other advice about the contest scene, ask away!

I am looking for some general information articles on the web right now. If you know of any, please post them. I also know a few people that are very experienced in competing, so if we need them I may be able to get them on here occassionaly.

Everybody contribute and let's get this thing rolling.

starting to contsruct my AS precontest cycles for sring and early summer contests. I would take any suggestions that you may have, looking at running 16 weeks-with contest in the 13 and 14 week.

Also any new fad for carb depletion and carb loading or sodium depletion or sodium loading.
