Pre contest cheating

How far out from a contest can you still have a cheat meal (one meal a week, not overboard?) It would be on a heavy day.

dont do it anytime after 4 weeks. An exeption to this is if your ready very early for the show (like banshee prolly will be). then you could have one or two.

Never have one after the two week mark though, that messes with your metabolism, sodium etc.. way too much at that point.

If your gonna have one i suggest having it on a back or legs day.

Thanks Gumby!! I appreciate the reply, that was really helpful. We had been debating/wondering about that question.

lol. depending on how your looking (you look fine) you coudl have one cheat meal a week up until 8 weeks out. I know most people follow something like that. I dont like to cheat because i feel really bad afterwards.

dont do cheats at all! unless you already got to where you need to be (like few days from the show) then you can cheat a little with things that wont mess your physique
