Contest-Prep (Pre-Contest Dieting, Training, etc.)

I need help, I want to enter a contest.

I am wondering where to turn for guidance on my diet and cardio etc.

Do you guys know of any people who I can contact who are contest prep advisors for competetive bodybuilders

I would be willing to travel to meet them, I just have so many questions and think I need a contest prep advisor.

If anyone has used or could reccomend one to me PLEASE let me know.

ANY help is much appreciated. Thank You...

Thanks, I appreciate your help.
Thing is , that I have always been told to listen to one person not sooo many, there are soo many different ways of contest prep, or doing anything for that matter, that alot of the info you get is good, but its conflicting, meaning some would say x amount of carbs then x amount of cals, whilst others have a completely different approach, both may work but niehter will if you try to use both approaches.

Does anyone know any good Advisors?

I just figured there may be some seasoned competitiors out there that act as or know some advisors, again TY for your time.

I do not know any advisors, sorry. but the point of the section is to get different opinions, and then try each one out and see how it works for YOU. Some will work, some wont. its all trial and error bud.

Have you competed ?
I just have been trying alot of things and I don't seem to be able to pull it all together, If I had someone tell me how to do it, I would just follow that plan to a "T"

Even the Pro's find it easier to concentrate when you have a plan to follow.

yeah, i have competed once and i am preping for two contest as we speak! lol. if you need any help on anything just PM me or ask it in the contest prep section, i would prefer it to be in the contest prep section, because the more the section grows, the more it needs a moderator.

Find someone in your area and listen to one person. Preferably someone who has competed a few times themselves and definately prepared at least a handful of others. Contest prep is hugely individual, the final few weeks you will need someone with experience to see and help you on a daily basis.

Thank you guys I appreciate it...

Thinking of contacting someone, I want to do it by myself I really do its just that i see so much conflicting information!!!

well, how many weeks do you have till your contest? if you have a good amount of time then just give everyone's stuff a try and see if it works for you.
