CARB UP, FAT LOAD, WATER all explained and planned out for you

[...aydn...]

is there a reason for no protein shakes?

would lasex be ok for a diuretic, considering its a natty comp?

kind regards, this thread is the bomb.

[MIKE_XXL]

No to Lasix bad choice of diuretic...and no shakes as they are processed food and will have some level of preservatives and will make you hold water in my opinion, upto 1-2 weeks out of the show i do use protein powders...

still not clear on that loading....i got the 18 hrs befor prejudging ...dieuretic....got it...loading ..wed thurs fri....check
now here is the question.....

Hi Mike, Ive just joined this forum and am a newbie.. but ive been following yr posts that u ve written since 2002 in the archives.. im extremely impressed how u go abt explaining yr "tried concepts" that uve used on yrself etc.. im 3 days out from competing in our nationals here, as a master now.. i always have had problems filling up on the day, and always come in flat but hard and dry.. im implimenting yr 1/2 traditonal /shitload programme u outlined here.. im on Day two of the carbload @ 300/350 gms carbs tomorrow.. im abit nervous abt last nite b4 comp as thats when the duiretic question comes in.. i got Dumide-k with me but worry t mite flatten me out.. at mo im hard and pretty dry and slightly flat as my carbs have been low throughout prep.. ( 6 meals of 100gm white potato with my chicken and fish or egg whites.. ) i dropped shakes 4 weeks out... was running prop with parabolan and win inj and clen.. now was using masteron, suspension and winnie with anavar and Halotest..(wth .5 arimedex morning and 10mg nova @ nite ) how should i handle things from here regard duiretics as im in an open class with 90+ kg guys and im only 80kg?? thanx bro!!

[MIKE_XXL]

Dumide-K is Lasix (Furosemide) one of the worst diuretics around and very hard to nail down fast acting and some what uncontrolable...if you must use it i would do 1 dose (25mg to be on the safer side) keepp electrolytes on hand, potassium, magnesium and sodium or pedialyte on hand in case you cramp, also in the morning before show 3 hours later after diuretic i would do a shit load to fill up and get full and tight. Monitor your condition and do small doses 12.5 / 6.25mg per if you have to adjust it allow 1 to 2 hours for diuretic to make it's way thourgh before making a judgement...i hope this helps out a bit, with Lasix better play it safe Bro.

BIG BIG THANX to Mike... damn bro!!! i followed yr prep to the T.. and it paid off bigtime... i nailed my form @ prejudging and my vasculairty was insane!! i was sitting a def top 3.. then by night i filled out even more and harder and drier...by the time i pumped up i was causing traffic jams in inthe pump area with folk trying to get a photo how vascular i got.. i took the stage and walked off with the Masters.. unfortunately Masters and juniors here are not invited to try for the overall .. pity.. i was on the money.. BIG thank u again... i will personal message u Mike with some small changes/additions to yr plan that worked for me.. RESPECT...

[MIKE_XXL]

You are welcome. I will shoot you a PM as i have a request for you.

[greekfreak]

2nd comp is on 13th nov, would i follow the same approach as ive just done or change anything to the load etc Mike? This time i gotta make a wght class (weigh in on Fri nite and pre's r Sat midday.) how is this gona work?

[MIKE_XXL]

I am sure your partner would love to have pro-tan smeared all over them. In all seriousness, if you have that much extra energy the day before a show I am wondering how strict your precontest diet was. Most people are walking zombies the last two weeks. If you do feel that good, spend the time and energy practicing your posing. Plenty of time for Nookie after the contest.

[greekfreak]

Nice reply Fireguy.. i wish i could be that horny one nite out..lol.
Mike .. im well in my wght as gotta go in @ 80kg and today was 78kg...so am not too stressed abt making wght.. just getting it all dialed in again will be the iceing on the cake for the end of my season..enjoy whats left of yr w/end.

[greekfreak]

Mike. Just found out the prejudging is on the sat @ 15.00 till 19.00. then the finals follow on the sunday @ 10.00am. How does one do the fat/junk load with this situation?

[greekfreak]

Well Mike im back home training hard after a great but hectic weekend in yr homeland.. damn the 4 hr bus trip did not help with the 12 hour trip in total.. the hotel was excellent and good choice of food available.. i made weigh in on fri nite then started my loading around 4am as was well flat from flight and horrendous bus trip.. i shitloaded thru the day only to find that with 26 divisions i was in div 22..!! so i only went on stage around 7.30pm!! i didnt spill though and i filled well but the no water thing was hard.. i was realistcally hoping to bust into the top 10 but ended up with 13th overall.. i know this position only reflects that i gotta fix my wheels.. MAKE THEM HUGE!! to be competitive at this level its all abt SIZE AND more size.. Pics to follow shortly.. THANX AGAIN FOR YR HELP ..
