Tim: ROUND '2' almost 4 weeks out.. (Aug 28th)..

[NWSaint]

Tim & da fellaz:

I'll keep this thread as the one that I might be askin' for advice.. or to let out a slight vent on my friggin' diet.. LoL.. actually, it hasn't been that bad at all.. seemed a lot harder '13' years ago.. Anywayz, I only put on '3'lbs since the last contest (June 26th), and no I haven't strayed from my diet at all.. well, ok, except for the LAST time I posted up and was engorging myself in them blueberry pancakes.. heheheh.. mmmmm mmmmm M!!

Well needless to say that since that exact day they're gone, and back to the chicken, salads, oatmeal, dozen eggs (no whites, except for '2' of'm) etc.. Now here's the deal Tim, I think from what I can tell from the pix from the show that I came in almost too lean, and flat as hell, it was like I was fuller and harder 4 days before the show and then somehow lost it. I figured I either panicked from wanting my lower abs to be completely gone and then went berzerk on the cardio, or when I sh*tloaded I did "touch" a little liquid, namely small sips of ice tea... and this was the night before the show.. I couldn't help it man, sh*tloading is crazy, how the hell are you supposed to inhale all that friggin' food and have nothin' to drink ?? THAT KILLED ME !!

So, the goal this time out is to keep the fullness without goin' flat, and dry out like a bone but have hellu' vascularity, I plan on hit'n Taraxatone 48 hours out this time around vs. the 24 that I did for the last show.. I'm eating apprx. 5 to 6 times daily and am at a gallon of day on the water, cuz it takes water to get rid of water.. believe, I've been paying close attention to the gospel..

Ok then Tim (& fellaz), i'll check back in soon, gotta get ready for work right now, but just bear with me and lets see if I can't dial this damn thing in on the money!!...............................lata'.

Marques,For the "sh*tloading" technique to be truly successful you shouls be at 3-5 % bodyfat and have done it as a trial run.

Too many variables to consider.
In my honest opinion I would stick to a more traditional carb-up plan with clean carb sources watching the mirror constantly so as not to spill over.

"sh*tloading" is just too iffy for most people and you will doubtful be able to duplicate the same condition every time you try it.

Just my 2 cents bro,train hard and stay focused!!!

[J65]

Ain't no expert, but best of success to you.

[Troyster]

sh*tloading doesn't work well at all for me either. You might consider running the herbal diuretics much longer than that. Our natural guys/gals run for about a week.

Do you have your last show pix posted?

Anyways, best of luck bro!

Ok then.. lets see if I can work this somehow.. here's your boy in battle "side chest, your choice of side".. heheheheh.. In this shot I actually thought I hung in there with the geared fellaz fairly well.. oh yeah, that's me on the very far right end..

[NWSaint]

Rear lat spread '4' days before the show.. maaaaan, I could just kick myself for not having that fullness the day of...

[NWSaint]

Front lat spread.. again, '4' days b4

[NWSaint]

A black-n-white shot from the night show.. just holdin'.. barely.. LoL.. it was fun though..

Tim:

Ok then ma'man.. here it is, been pretty restrictive (in fact 'very' may be a better term) with my diet.. the only carbs i'm taking in at this pont (3-n-1/2 weeks out) is my 1/2 to 3/4 cup of oatmeal and '2' salads that I eat up at break at work.. other than that I have NO other carbs whatsoever.. is this overkill ?? or am I right on page to where I should be ??.. Also, vs. the last contest, this time around i'm lifting like it was the off-season..LoL.. serious biz, I mean f'n HEAVY !!.. everything is like it was my last day of training!!.. It's almost like I feel posessed to show the "gear" freaks that a natty can get it done just as well.. I've done my homework and have been just hammering on my weak points to the point where my daughter is like "damn Dad, you needed to look like that at the last contest"..LoL.. So, tip me up here a bit, possibly a couple of do's and dont's from a vet competitor such as yourself.. knowledge is like dinner, AND I'M HUNGRY !!.. talk to ya soon bra'...........................lata'.

ps- and compared to the above pix, my outer delts are fuller and rounder, the arms are up a solid 1", the only thing i'm having slight trouble with is thigh separation.. outside of that everything seems a-ok.. oh, and one other thing, my protein is hovering at or slightly above the 300gs a day mark.. AND a tbsp of p/b b4 bed just to get a lil' of that slow acting protein in the system while I sleep.. and one last thing, i'm inhaling just between a gal. to a gal and a half of aqua as well.. whew.. helluva ps.. heheheheh..

1/2 cup of oatmeal and tons of veggies is what i do on my low carb days. but when i say a ton of veggies ..i mean a ton.

3 salads. of about 12-16oz of veggies each. Well not really salad...mainly vegetables..

If i can't seem to swallow them all down (which i'm not having trouble with ;D) I find more concentrated source of veggies....such as Water Chest nut...shiitake mushroom, etc. But i'm having no problem sucking down all the veggies.

I say as long as you have the energy you're fine.
I read alot of cutting up articles..and they say avoid all starches....only use starches to restore muscle glycogen store. Get your carbs from Vegetables. And no Fructose at all.

But i find that Oatmeal is best..and will always be a staple.

Veggies contain carbs and will throw you out of keto if you eat too much.
