Pre contest carbs and water
I am a little confused about the pre contest diets and water that I have been reading about. Maybe I am old school or maybe my methods are outdated.
I am a week out from bodybuilding competition and my carb intake is 0. My diet is a mix of chicken breast , lettuce, cucumber and fish until 4 days out and then replace chicken breast with fish. My water intake on Monday goes down to 4 L and 2, 1,1, .250L the following days.
Obviously, the day before competition, you feel like crap until you carb load the day of the event.
Can someone comment? This is entirely different than i am reading here. I realize that everyone is different, but mine is extremely different.
