FINALLY 1 WEEK OUT 196 lbs. (actually 5 days out)

OK Bros here we go, last week and its over. I thought I wouldn't see any improvement because I have to tell you July 4th Fcuked me up big time. Talking about th e4th being a big cheat day I ate whatever, then from there could not recover, meaning! I could not mentally get back in the groove of dieting. Every day after the 4th I have a cheat meal. the only difference is I was doing cardio morning and night still. If I was to tell you the sh!t I ate you all would curse me out so I'm not going to say. just know that I did improve regardless. take a look at the pictures just when I thought I could not get any better, the pictures tells me different.

Wow... I can't believe you cheated that bad and are still drier than you were last week. That's crazy. You are looking spot on man GL

[DizzyBoy]

hahaha, You dont know how badly I want a burger, ...But I let you test out eating burgers 5 days out and still be dryer then 2 weeks out, LOL. Must be nice...gotta love genetics..

No burger for you! A little birdie told me you are having doughnuts and icecream after your show?

[Death]

[MrMent1on]

Ahh how can you cheat that bad and still lose weight?? ahh

1 hour cardio in the morning on an empty stomach and 1 hour cardio at night with nothing but water before bed. But I'm back on track now.. Now on a 3 day no carb depletion.

[IBdmfkr]

Ment.. you do your evening cardio 3hrs after last meal (what does that meal include?) and then don't take in any nutrients at all? no aminos, just water?

[RailZ]

[RailZ]

Just a couple more days bro!!! I would give you a call after prejudging, but I don't wanna mess with your mindset..so you call me when you feel like it after prejudging..let me know how things went bro...ITS GETTING CLOSE..I think im more excited then your are..LOL

[IBdmfkr]

He probably does it about 3hrs after last meal actually, wait for ment's response.

[MrMent1on]

I really dont watch the time but I'd say it around 2 to 3 hours. Now dont get it twisted, I usually have a 0 carb shake after but I was just talking about when I did those cheat meals.

[chest6]

1 hour cardio in the morning on an empty stomach and 1 hour cardio at night with nothing but water before bed. But I'm back on track now.. Now on a 3 day no carb depletion.

Yeah, I'd do that and still wouldn't lose weight..different body types.

[Random]

Man Ment i gotta give you more props man, you look AWESOME BRO! whats your carb up plan this year?

[scriptfactory]

Yeah, I'd do that and still wouldn't lose weight..different body types.

Same here. I get to 14-15% and just stop losing weight... Oh' wait. That's because I always get sick of dieting and eat Ben & Jerrys for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

[scriptfactory]

Wow, you are looking lean! Looking huge as hell, too! Excellent job.

[MrMent1on]

Man Ment i gotta give you more props man, you look AWESOME BRO! whats your carb up plan this year?

[MrMent1on]

The time it worked for me i was overdehydrated so basicly it just replanished my intracellular fluids that i lost through diuretics, but i would not recomend it to anyone else as it is risky...

Thanks Mike, I'm bringing home the gold.

Thanks Mike, I'm bringing home the gold.

Damn right. :P

I would stay away from dairy as much as possible for your shitload. Pizza should be okay, but not in huge amounts b/c of all the cheese. I know, soem may jump on my ass for this, but let me explain....The dairy has casein in it and dairy tends to "gum" up in the stomach and intestines and take longer to digest.....causing blockage and slower absorption and distension of the lower abdomen and intestines. This can make it very difficult to control you abs/waistline in your posing, such as side tri and ab/thigh poses. The slower breakdown of dairy will also slow down the absorption of other nutrients which is what YOU DO NOT want during a shitload...the whole point of the shitload is to fill out glycogen stores as quickly as possible, the dairy kind of defeats this IMO. Also, I know it may sound gross, but bro, a glycerol suppository will work wonders during a shitload, it will keep things moving through you at a steady pace and keep you from getting bound up, too distended, or stomach discomfort, as well as help you get down more carsb, b/c lets face it, all that sugar and fat is not gonna be moving fast without fiber and water....two things there is not much, if any, of in a shitload. Take these thoughts into consideration.

I usually eat pizza for the sodium, cheese cake for the fat and doughnuts for the sugar. I will cut back on my pizza and not intake too many slices. your reasoning make good sense and I'm all for good knowledge. I never had that problem in the pass but maybe I could have looked better if I did less, so I'll do less this time around and see what happen, probably eat a bullion cube to make up for the sodium, lol.

[Random]

Spound...good points man, ive used pizza in the past, along with cheesecakea and both seemed to work great, who knows though if me or Ment could have looked better without all that cheese, keep it up Ment, im with ya suffering! Lets see some more pics too!

[MrMent1on]

Good Morning... 2 days out and I just did my last morning cardio session. can't say I will miss it at all, lol. 1 more night cardio session and I'm dont with cardio til the next copmpetition which wont be til next year the same time, if I dont come away with the overalls here. doesn't make sense to do anymore shows unless its a national show for my pro card.

How many nationals shows have you done?

[timtim]

great work mrmention, good luck. how tough is this show going to be for you to take the overall?

[MrMent1on]

How many nationals shows have you done?

Actually I've only done 1 national show. A non pro card show. Jr. USA's 2005. The only difference with a national show is everyone is tight.
