competition diet

[gingernuts]

Yes, I have the trainers at my gym writing me a diet for the last 10 weeks where we will be continually adjusting & tweaking according to how I look.

At the moment I am very watery & 'squidgy' around my stomach & the skin has gone all loose. I have been told this is normal at the start of a diet. Has anyone else experienced this & how long does it last for?

It's driving me crazy cos I know I am losing & eating clean but my tummy looks all soft.

You need to let the elasticity of your skin catch up to your fat loss. It will all come, don't worry

I lost 25lbs last year already may-december, so I suppose my skin does have some catching up to do!

Hey congrats on that and continuing to a competition form! When you get on stage you will have HELLA BUNCH to be proud of. And make sure you EXUDE that to the audience!

Are you using yohimburn at all?

 

[gingernuts]

No.Not sure where to get it in the UK.I have started drinking green tea & will be started ECA next week followed by some clen cycles a little closer to the comp.

I had my legs assessed at the weekend. It looks like I have lost too much & need to improve my sweep, my legs carry little fat and I naturally have narrow hips & lean thighs..the instructor at the gym says I need to build my outer thighs up. I have been told to concentrate on heavy hack squats. Any ideas on what else I could be doing?

I suppose it is an acheivement already - you may notice from my post on the 'let's talk about alc...' thread that I recovering from an alcohol/binge drinking problem which has left my life in tatters. This time last year I was drinking 70-100 units per week, most nights it was 2 bottles of wine, sometimes more. I can't believe how far I have come, and yes it is still a daily struggle, and yes I do still have lapses.

Congrats on your progress overcoming that! BB is something that definitely has little room in it for binges of any kind. I guess the lifestyle is populated to a degree by people who are of addictive personalities and there is definitiely a certain "shallowness" about BB if you focus just on how you look all the time (a la Hollywood). But keeping it in balance w/ the rest of your life, it shows how a little sweat & discipline can make you feel soooo much better than a couple shots.

lunges
extensions with toes turned in
hacks

I have been told not to do lunges at this point. I am also trying to improve my protein intake - I have been a little slack recently with getting the tuna etc into my meals!

Basically my legs are more or less at comp standard at 13 weeks out. It's my upper body esp. my abs which needs shredding now. Basically I am very top heavy - and it's not in the boob area!

Whats the best way to achieve this since I cannot afford to lose any more from my legs.
