    before a meet no carbs and very little liquid. with 24 hour weighins, load up on pedialyte, chicken broth and beef jerky to rehydrate and hold water. meet day i eat when i am hungry. dont over do the carbs or you will be lethargic and tired. try to eat nromal on meet day, trust me too many carbs is not a good thing. protein on meet day is fair . i eat a decent ammt, but not a crazy ammt or any more than normal

    thanks for advice. its usually the other way around with me, protein makes me lethargic. how about caffeine/simple carbs/ect do you have before lifts?

    caffeine is fine. i take some old ephedra caffeine pills. i start with one before the squat and 2 before the dead. anymore would be too much. also. i dont ever drink coffee on a regular basis. so what may seem like alot of caffeine for me may not be the same for someone who lives on caffeine.

    simple carbs i get from detout bars. maybe a small sandwich or a slice of pizza or some fruit. i dont eat alot on meet day. i am usually still really full from bloating with fluid and eating non stop the day before. i only really eat when i am hungry on meet day and it is nothing fancy
