Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your honesty about not having experience with this type of prep. Just a follow up question since you said you have seen logs of this type of cutting.... If all carbs are totally taken out what is the main source of energy? Do people increase fats for that week, or is that completly counter productive? Is this week nothing but protein sources??Originally Posted by gbrice75
I have read contest logs and such and people definitely do this, however I don't want to paint a picture like I have experience with contest prep, because I don't. But generally, yes - depletion to get as dry as possible, and then a big carb up prior to the contest to load those muscles up.
If you can get a hold of him, you should try bouncing this off of Fireguy. In fact, he may be working on a contest prep sticky!
