Ok guys, so im making a year long plan to move up a level in competitive bodybuilding, so iv been rattling some ideas around my head and i wanted to bring them to the open forum for discussion. What im looking for is the most efficient and effective way to win that next big trophy. Bearing in mind I am VERY carb sensitive which is great when building but poor when cutting.
Option 1; find and employ a nutrionist / PT, now im very wary of this, because A they dont know my body and B, in my experience they have one plan only and no scope for change, C I am coeliac
Option 2; do my own diet using the knowledge i have learnt so far, its not rocket science, it just needs fine tuning so here goes
Bulk phase - option 1 - 40 week straight through bulk with carbs at something like 50c/30p/20f increasing calories when weight plateaus.
bulk phase option 2 - a 12 week carb bulk as above followed by a 4 week lower calorie 'primer' for the next 12 weeks, rinse and repeat
bulk phase option 3 - 12 week carb bulk as above, 4 week keto blast rinse and repeat
bulk 4 - bulking on CKD so keto mon-fri and carb up sat sun, well over maintenace calories.
Cutting phase 20 week cut. opt 1: 4 weeks carbs fat burners and cardio with calories high, drop to keto 4 week adaptation phase, then CKD 12 week
opt 2: 20 week skd and tiny 400g carb up pre show
opt 3: 20 week CKD, 1 day carb up - not wild , something like a pre show protocol like 400g carbs, that way i get 20 practices in.
opt 4 : 20 week TKD so 10g dextrose cocktail intra workout.
I just dont know what to do for best.
