Contest in 8 days! need a review on my last week diet please! :)

Scoular · 09-02-2006, 06:17 PM

I weigh 120 lbs today. with pretty low bodyfat. My contest date is on the 10th September, next Sunday.

I have been reading Layne's pre contest article and worked out and planned the following guide:

P.S never done this before so let me know how it looks or if anything is wrong.

Monday

Ectomorphs: 1.25-1.5 g/lb bodyweight. = 170 carbs / 2000mg salt

Tuesday

Ectomorphs: 1.12-1.37 g/lb bodyweight. = 150carbs. / 2000 mg salt

Wednesday

Ectomorphs: 0.99-1.24 g/lb bodyweight. = 130 carbs. / 2000 mg salt

Thursday

Ectomorphs: 0.86-1.11 g/lb bodyweight. = 110 carbs. / 1000mg salt

Friday

Ectomorphs: 0.73-0.98 g/lb bodyweight. = 90 carbs. / 1000mg salt

Saturday

30 g carbs at breakfast, then 0 g carbohydrates until 4 p.m. After 4 p.m., ingest 40 g of carbohydrates every 2 hours until bed.***
*** Those with extremely fast metabolisms should begin carbohydrate loading upon arising Friday morning

= 170 carbs? / 1000mg salt Rice and bananas only! maybe take 1-3 99mg potassium tabs also?

Sunday (show day)

Two hours before pre-judging ingest a high carb/fat/sodium meal containing approximately 75-90 g of carbs, 20-30 g fat, and 1000-2000 mg sodium. (very important!!!)
About 30 minutes prior to stepping onstage you should begin sipping a small sugar drink (Dextrose in water?). This will continue to hydrate the body and also will ensure that you have plenty of energy for the intense posing you will soon perform. After pre-judging, continue eating 30-60 g of carbs every 2 hours until the night show. After the night show have fun at the post contest pig-out!

ANY help would be fantastic!!

Really worried that i get bloated or smooth or something

well I think there is something about the type of carb you should be using the last 2 days????? Have you researched Waxy Maize?

my article also covers that

Scoular · 09-02-2006, 07:44 PM

waxy maize - never heard of it. Will look in to it.

So basically i should carry on drinking water 2/3 litres a day as normal?

Also should i take 2-3 postassium 99mg tablets the day before the show ?

Does my last week carbs per day look ok?

too much potassium can actually make you retain water.

not to mention an overdose can stop your heart

don't mess with it

Three things to do until Sunday:

1) Get a haircut!

2) Put fake tan on.

3) Remove all excess hair.
