9 Days Out, COMPLETELY Unready!! Help?!
Hey, long story short, I'm 9 days out from my first comp and completely unready.
I haven't really been carb depleting, I tried that before and lost too much muscle. I run every morning on empty, then eat pro/fat an hour later, then I have usually two carb pro meals, workout, and then another carb pro meal, with a pro fat meal before bed.
Now to optimize the next 9 days, should I carb deplete, and then carb up 2 days before or what? What about sodium?
(where is swole's old guide at?)
UNIMPORTANT BACKSTORY
My life has been crappy lately (girl I love went crazy and slutted out and hates me, parents are going bankrupt, bla bla bla) so I haven't been 100% lately, but I'm still a teen and I want to complete in a naturals contest. I'm not like huge by any means, but apparently everyone says I'm on 'roids, which is a compliment at first, but when girls dump me 'cause they don't want to be a juicer and everyone "knows" I juice and I can't trust my own "friends" to back me up, then it gets freaking annoying. So it's a big deal for me to do a naturals comp. I'm 19 like I said, and can compete in the teens category so I have a much better shot.
I've been *trying to cut for competition for like 2 months, running alot, every morning on an empty stomach and whatnot, but haven't cut a *whole* lot of weight. As I was drinking heavily too :( (I've been like way depressed).
I'm close to comp, I already paid for it a while ago, and am like gonna be around 8% bf :(
Good news is, the other teens are ALL in the 150-160 range, and I'm 195. So I will have a huge huge size advantage, I just won't be quite as ripped. P
