24 hours till the big day.....

[chuck89gt5.0]

Well exacly 24 hours from now prejudging starts, I know its early as hell (9am)

I went and took the polygraph test and piss test yesterday and found out there are only 3 guys in my division (novice tall)

I wish I had a little more competition, I am not feeling very confident on how I will do. I made a huge mistake and started dieting 18 weeks ago! BIG MISTAKE I got so burnt out of dieting that I fell off my diet here and there the past week or so, I really softened up in the midsection but I am still pretty vascular and tight considering how bad I cheated on my diet.

Right now I have my second coat of protan on, this shit is dark! I still have 3-4 more coats to go. I cut all my liquids out this morning. I am eating a sweet potato at every meal and snacking on rice cakes and dry oatmeal, man its rough trying to swallow oatmeal dry with no water!
In all honesty I dont really care how I place, sure I would like to win if I dont no biggie, this is my first show and I am using this as a learning tool for the future. I have already learned a ton!

I will try to post pics up sometime sunday evening or monday morning.
Well guys wish me luck, I will post the results tommorrow!

you look great man, good luck and dont get stressed out, you've already done all the hard work just go out there and have fun.

i competed once about 6 years ago and i clearly remember trying to choke down dry oatmeal with no water, not a pleasent expirence.

Would it be cool to eat a small portion of lean steak now (4oz) and another 4oz portion tonight?

Should I keep the water dropped all the way through the night show as well or should I drink something after prejudging?


Are there any particular shit foods I should eat tomorrow?
I was gonna wake up and have a slice of cheese cake and on the way to the show stop at Mickey D's and eat a few hash browns. I will have rice cakes,snickers and red wine with me at the show.


Also what are the odds of me over-carbing from just eating carbs today and tomorrow morning...roughly how much carbs would I have to eat before I worry about looking too soft?

As we speak I am trying to choke down more dry oatlmeal, I can only get down maybe 2 spoonfulls at a time. I hear it works good to dry you up....

If your dry, you shouldn't have to worry about going soft or spilling over.

ARE YOU EATING PROTEIN WITH YOUR MEALS ALREADY? YOU SHOULD BE, JSUT NOT TONS, SO STEAK SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

THIS DEPENDS...IF YOU ARE SOFT IN THE MORNING....KEEP THE WATER OUT. IF YOU ARE DRY AND FLAT, THEN SIP WATER IN 3-4 OUNCE INCREMENTS B/C THIS JSUT MEANS THAT YOU NEED SOME H2O IN ORDER TO TRANSPORT THE CARBS TO THE MUSCLE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME SODIUM WITH THAT SHIT LOAD...ITS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE EQUATION.

ANYTHING GOES FOR SHIT FOODS, EXCEPT FOR DAIRY IMO. DAIRY IS HARDR TO DIGEST AND WILL SIT IN YOUR STOMACH LONGER BLOCKING ABSORPTION OF OTHER CARBS YOU RELALY NEED TO BE TAKING IN, AND IT WILL ALSO CAUSE SOME DISTENSION WHICH YOU DON'T WANT ON STAGE. CUT OUT THE CHEESECAKE. JSUT PICK FOODS WITH COMPLEX CARBS/SHITTY SIMPLE CABRS/ SODIUM AND SATURATED FAT...THAT IS WHAT SHITLOADING IT.... EAT SOME WAFFLES WITH SYRUPS, SOME BACON AND SAUSAGE WITH 2-3 EGGS AND HASHBROWN AND YOU WILL BE GOOD TO GO

DEPENDS ON THE PERSON AND MANY FACOTRS SUCH AS WATER/SODIUM ETC... YOU CAN'T REALLY OVER-CARB, IF YOU ARE DRY AND HAVE WATER UNDER CONTROL. LOOKING SOFT DOES NOT COME FROM CARBS, BUT RATHER FROM POOR MANIPULATION OF SODIUM AND WATER LEADING UP TO THE SHOW. JUST EAT CARBS AND DONT DRINK SHIT UNLESS YOUA RE FLAT AND YOU WILL BE OK.
