Looking lean and dry, tomorrow should be even better. On your side tricep pull those abs in and exhale out as much as possible.

hey mouse what were u weighing in that clip...what height

QUOTE=mouse78;4738295]looking great buddy, try to keep flexing your quads when doing a latspread . You tend to relax them a bit and put a bit to mutch focus on your upper body.

this is a posing routine of mine maybe it will be of some help. its not flwaless bu i had to put it together in about 30 minutes :-)

GOOD LUCK.

good question...i like snickers bars....

the problem i have is holding my peak which i achieve around 6-8pm after about 500g/carb 250/pro and 50-60/fat...i get super vascular and can stay that way till 2-3 am...then things fall apart.

How much stored glycogen could a guy burn up at rest over the night?

...or is 500g/carb too much and i don't start spilling over till morning??

this will be the 1st time drinkin this much h2o on a friday..plannin on about 4l today...and reduce to 25-50ml with each meal after 6pm. Meals are 4-6ozbeef/chic...60g.oat/sug(50c)...1 rice cake/1tbsp PB..evry 90-120min...

....in the past i have remained awake and somewhat active all night prior to prejudge in an effort to hold condition...but no! come 5am start to fukin fade!!

...so...i guess it's all about luck.

thnx 4 your help thus far...

***FireGuy*** · 08-21-2009, 07:17 PM

no kiddin' eh?

..could it be morning cortisol?

Just got back from the weigh-ins..15 in my lightmiddle class and about 10 in my masters light class.

a couple pics from the venue..12 hours out...need to get waaayyy tight...especially after what i saw @ the weigh-in.

Just over 175 competitors total...i also heard muscular development will be there to take pix!

...gotta get back to my homework...exam time is comin fast!

**CHAP** · 08-21-2009, 11:12 PM

good luck man Im pullin for ya.

**MIKE_XXL** · 08-22-2009, 07:31 PM

If you peak 5 hours early and i would move every thing 5 hours forward so if you stop drinking at 5:00pm move it forward and stop drinking at 10:00pm and so on, that should work in theory...it is hard to figure out, i would say also move the diuretic use further out, i will be trying no diuretics till morning of the show for my next show, to try to retain the vascularity and fulness usually one of the worst thing is overdoing the diuretics which is easy to do in an attempt to try to tighten up a bit more, i will stop drining at 5:00pm friday and Dyazide 50mg betwee 5 and 6:00am in the morning and then ride it out, shiat load at 9:00am...see what happens...good luck at this poitn you are almost there...prejudging done night show to go...

***FireGuy*** · 08-23-2009, 10:04 AM

Well.......how did things go? Hopefully you are catching up on sleep and having a big carb filled breakfast this morning while admiring your trophy in the corner of your hotel room.

....ahhh crap...ended up droppin 6 pounds of h20...5 am b4 prejudge started crampin in calves...added some pedylite...seemed to help.

prejudge masters had 10 guys...ended up a dismal 7th...still had to do mandatories 3x

than came back for lightmiddle...no 1st callout...missed peak and came in @ about 85%...the head judge still worked the hell out of every class. Everyone had to do full mandatories at least 4x... i ended up with 38 points which put me in 7th...yet the 8th place guy had 38 points as well. had 30% lockup in my quads which wasnt fun...shook it off and got thru it.

This show was so stacked they couda gave out 10 pro cards...it was the best Nats I ever been to...the conditioning of all the athletes was bang on!

***FireGuy*** · 08-24-2009, 08:40 AM

Two classes makes for a tough day, did that once and never again. Damn, so 7 total rounds of mandatories???? You must have been whooped! No shame whatsoever in those placings, you were standing up against some of the very best guys out there. Great precontest log, thanks for sharing.

***FireGuy*** · 08-24-2009, 09:03 PM

BTW, I thought your Masters Class was judged very well but your open Light Middle I did not like a few placings. I am not one to stroke your ego but I had you two places higher in 6th. The guy you tied with that they gave 7th to was soft. Unless he destroyed you from the back I am not sure what they were looking at. The guy who took 6th was dryer than you and deserved to place ahead of you but the guy who got 5th was soft, blocky and bloated and was also covered in acne.

**MIKE_XXL** · 08-25-2009, 08:11 PM

Well Bro either way CONGRATS, not many of us even make it to nationals, i wish i had it in me to get that far, but i think i will stick to giving advice instead...good Job Bro, you certainly inspire me...XXL
