I'm good with the walking or low intensity cycling but I think running will interfere with your thigh recovery. I would leave that out.

I don't compete at the moment, but I've done competition diets before. Usually my cardio was like yours. Incline treadmill, 45min am and 30-45min PM. Walk on an incline. Sometimes I'd switch it up with the bike or the elliptical. Lately though, I've been doing some sprints the last 10 minutes or so. I put the incline down to 0 and walk at 3.2mph. Then I "sprint" at 7mph or so for 30-45seconds, then back down to 3.2 for 1.25-1.5 minutes. I do 4-5 of these, and then cool down. Helps the time go by. I'm not sure if that helps either, but since it's not constant running I don't think it hurts my legs. Also, I don't do these before or ON leg-day, just the other 3 days I do cardio.

What do you think of the pix? Any suggestions. The times are on there I looked the fullest around the 7pm mark IMO.

Yea, i know my heart rate was probably up there at times, I eat a shit load though and sometimes it just messes with my head that man I need to be doin more, ya know. You'll get your damned pics. LOL. Actually I took like 20 at 6wks out ans tried posting them but every single one blurs when it blows up on like image shack or any other one ive tried except my aol profile. So any suggestion there will be appritiated. Crystal light just tastes so good it dosent seem possible not to have carbs in it. I usually drink a half gal with dinner. My diet goes as such. Prorein 400gs every day since I started. My carbs have been cut to 300g workout days 100 nonworkout days. Cardio is 2hs a day 7 days a week. Last week my carbs were around 200 and my fat was at 10 g max for the day. I stood up out of bed thurs and caught myself as I was falling over. My trainer had me go out and get subway and lots of ice cream as well. That did the trick. He said my fats were way to low. He wantss me to eat ike 2lbs lean ground beef a day. Which seems ludacris to me. Half raw at that, for some reason. I use a forman but still makes me nervous. Plus he had me up my carbs to 300. Mon I start 2 a day lifts on top of the cardio. It will go morning legs tredmill all on empty tank, night arms tredmill. Lifting 45 min. cardio 1hr 2x a day. 2 days on 1 off, repeat. Cardio still on off days. By the way WillBe MY carb load went great. Though I never had a clue how hard life is without water, OMG! That part was horrible. My poses were down months ago. The trainer being a NPC judge makes it easy on me. Its the routine I havent gotten into yet that worries me.

I don't think I'd be worried about the routine bro...the judging is already done at the pre-judge session. The routine portion is just for the crowd. Try to have a good time. I'm worried most about your diet. Its the single most important part in all of this. What the hell is Subway and lots of ice cream at 4 weeks out? I think a couple bite size snickers bars would've been enough to counter your hypoglycemia. Raw meat would also make me nervous. It doesn't make a bit of difference how its cooked - just that its lean meat. I would add in some chicken or tuna to break it up. Too much red meat isn't great for your kidneys and also you may need to use it the last week if you need to lean out more. Just my opinions. I've been an NPC judge in 3 states for 6 years also if I can help you any - I'd be glad to. Take care.

I agree with this a ton....if you know how to pose (for prejudging)--it doesnt matter about your routine.......I was seriously questioning subway and ice cream....(honestly,,,never did red meat either....) all chicken, turkey, tuna, fish, egg whites, etc....for protein....Never had any bread or anything like that.....if you were hypo...a touch of dextrose, maltodextrin, etc in your PWO shake would of helped........

I dont think that hypo is a good excuse to cheat......If you ever need to cheat (and your further out than 3-4 weeks) then chew up a piece of cake and spit it out!!!!!!

Stay Strong bro.....

there any tv's in your gym? i loved catchin the sox while doin cardio, goes by so fast. also, music helps a lot and magazines... i have been doing the stairclimber the past few weeks after working out.. and morning cardio some days ( im 11 weeks out) i sweat like a mother. great pics btw. how many weeks are you at right now and what are your stats, you look tall. u could get some more poses and show us
goodluck in the contest

I was also stuck at the same weight for over a week, so he just said I needed to go splurdge since I felt like shit as well. I think it was to throw my metabolism off. I hadnt eaten any fats for weeks since i couldnt really afford anything with fats in it. I dont even get half my daily values from red meat ever, He said eat it on the underdone side so that the vitamins and shit are still in there. He said when you over cook and sqash all the juice out you loose a lot of the good stuff I need. Beats me. Im just doing whatever he said and if I see adverse effects I switch it up a bit and just dont tell him.

You need to work on your posing, and ditch that subway and ice cream shit...and YES I do compete..good luck..
