Now heres what possibly could be a mistake, even though i woke up thursday pretty full and very vascular (from the increased water intake)

i increased my water to 1.5 gallons on monday

tues-2 gal of water
wed 3 gal of water
thur 1.2 gal of water

some people said i was drinking too much water but the thing is, in the heat and humidity if i didnt, i think i would have been very dehydrated and not been able to properly finish the carb load....at the end of the day, i eneded up cutting my water on thursday night at 8pm.....

some say this is too early, and yes it Certainly did affect my carb up however i know that i came in my best condition and fairly dry because i cut it so early, the downside was that i was pretty flat, although i didnt experience any cramping at all.

[Random]

Heres where distaster struck, on Thursday...

I ate the same stuff however by night-time i was still flat as hell and i had to compensate by eating over 1000grams of carbs to try and fill out, which only worked moderately...

I ate the same plan as wednesday except for: i added an extra 400 grams of carbs in the form of rice (long grain and brown) and i started the fat load early nearing the end of the night since i was so behind....i had 3 donuts from Krispy Kreme, which i will NEVER do again! I was fine for about 30-40 minutes then it hit me! Extreme bloating and gut rot...i felt awful, just awful...i tried to sleep it off and it didnt work, the night before i ended up getting maybe an hour of sleep, and i was desperate to be full in the morning, so at 3am i got up and decided to try and eat some cleaner carbs in the form of flavored oatmeal. I had one which tasted amazing (banana nut) then i figured since its not that high in sugar i could have 2-3 more and i was oh so wrong! It was worse than the donuts! i felt the worst ever! Somehow by the grace of God, my stomach went down and i was able to wake up fairly sharp, however the downside to that was that i could not eat anything without gagging, so i took a gamble that worked good enough, i had 6 tablespoons of Glycerol with some flavored water and that was all i had before prejudging, Nothing else, i simply couldnt stomach anything else....be back later, to update this guys....

you feeling like crap was definatly from the Aldactone...i get the same way bro, from now on i use dyazide...its the only thing that does not f with my ass. I wont touch lasix for this reason as well...too dangerous imo. But for some reason with dyazide i can $hit load with no prob..its all a learning experience capt...

[chuck89gt5.0]

How about carb deplete and load what days and how many grams?
I see that you did a "shit" load right before the show.....do you think you would have been better off going with all clean carbs for the load?

I didnt really deplete that much, i stayed at my base carbs which were 140-150grams per day, and no i will Never do a shitload again, my body has changed on me and wont allow it! I have barely eaten any junk food since ive been done from the comp...too scared, im easing into my diet again, training was pretty good today though...had some chicken fried rice today, yesterday i had some teddy grahams which were dam good! and tomorrow im getting some cheesecake, other than that, ive stayed with my same meal plan consisting of pasta, rice, and some chicken.....

Yea Bro, ill never touch aldactone again, with the sodium deficiency and no experience, even after i Cut my water i wasnt sure if i could add a significant amount of sodium to stop the issues...can anyone answer this? Are you supposed to add sodium to keep your system normal and help with the carb load?

YES! IN order for those carbs to be transported to the muscle they need two things (A) Water (there is a fine line for how much) (B) sodium without sodium you will be flat as a pancake. In essence, a shitload is: sodium, fat, & shitty carbs (mixture of sugary and starchy ones)

[Random]

OK guys, to conclude the Carb up Phase, the day of the show (as bad as it sounds) the only thing i had the WHOLE day was 1/4 chicken breast, after prejuding! After the episodes from the night before i couldnt stomach anything or even think about putting anything in my mouth without the aid of water to get it down....i had 2 jolly ranchers just to keep my mouth from drying out....some how though, i was still able to get an okay pump from the Niacin, overall i was very flat, but i was conditioned, and my legs came in sharper for the night show too...ill get pics up soon gentlemen....

its all good bro....I plan on being here for a long time to come so we're in it together.. I havent doen a show personally but my bro(25) & my pops-YES POPS(53yrs old) has done 2 as well. I know what goes into it & you got it down bro...congrats. I love your attitude CAPT..

[Random]

Thanks again Getnjakked! hopefully youll do a show soon! Its a blast man, really brings out the best in ya! take care man...

[Random]

Another point guys, next year i will be using dyazide most likely, along with that i kinda wish i woulda kept some var in like my original plan, but using letro plus the var i really felt my cholesterol would have taken a big hit so i opted not to, other than that everything went fairly well, i could have carbed up better but it was a great experience and it made me stronger and with more desire to win next year, ill continue to eat clean from here on out and prepare for next show, if anyone has any contest questions dont hesitate to pm me, thanks guys...ill get some pics from 3-4 days after the show up soon too...

[abokeef]

Man.......... .......!!??? Donno wut to say. what the hell did u do to ur cheset? Goooooood Luck with ur comp..

[spound]

You lookk good man and are tightening up really nice, but I agree with some of the others that your posing needs some real work. I am not bashing you just trying to help out. DO you have someone who could work with you on posing?? Its kinda hard to type things out for every pose

[timtim]

poses look much better. great work so far.

i was going to say not to do the victory pose also, not that you look bad in it but its a pose for a larger body. everything else looks real solid.

[Random]

Hey thanks alot man! yea i wasnt planning on doing the victory pose just did it for sh1ts....

[doctorherb]

On the rear double bi, dont lean back so much, Straighten up a lil bit. On the most muscular, dont lock out your legs. Bring your feet a lil closer and slight bend in knee.


Things are looking nice....Progress from last pics!!!!

[timtim]

good luck. keep working hard. its showing.

[doctorherb]

Looking good capt.....We need to now work on foot placement...you shouldnt have your legs locked out and place your feet a lil closer and turn your toes outward a tad..(see pic) on your rear shots, i think you should turn your heel in a lil (see my avy for an idea of what im saying)....Foot placement is important in EVERY pose cuz it can impact the appearance of your physique BIG TIME...

Yes Bro your foot placement makes your pose. do as Doc says look at his picture i nhis avatar and make sure all your rear shots your feet are placed just like his, rear foot should be slightly turned out (heels in) an dfront foot should also be slightly turned outward the reason is to show your sweep from the rear making your legs appear bigger. doc's picture is a perfect example.

Alright guys, i adjusted my back double bicep as some members suggested, and i agree it does look better like this...we'll see what you guys think....i began my carb-up this morning after my circuit training but i still feel weak and like crap usually until the afternoon, today i will take in 300g of carbs with my usual sources from brown rice, long grain rice, and veggie pasta....then tomorrow i will go to about 450g and friday maybe 350-400g of carbs...

much better CD

Thats a world of a difference, just keep working at it. remember turn both feet at a 45 degree angle and bend your knees, sit on it. so you can see the sweeps from the rear.
