Competitor's Diets

[livnfit]

SteelWeaver - Right now I just incresed my carbs for 4 weeks to re-charge before I start my 16 week diet. As far as my carb-up is concerened I've followed basically the same carb-up for the last 3 years and I've gotten different results each year. For my diet I'm planning on starting out with approx 100 of carbs, 190 protein and 20 fat. Most of my carbs are for breakfast and after training with the reamining meals very low carbs. I eat 6-7 meals a day and train 4 days a week with weights. My cardio will begin with 30 minutes a day first thing in the morning before eating anything. I agree with dieslgrl about not changing things too much for the last week, but it's interesting to know what others do. When's your show SteelWeaver?

Oh, you already compete, livnfit? Heh heh - I thought you were a novice. I certainly am. It IS interesting to know what others are doing, even if just for info. My show's in May - very small, very local, my first time.

competitors F***ing diets!!! OMG, so I am working with someone who takes about the hardest line approach to this, and at eight weeks out I am down to two fucking foods.. excuse the language, but damnit! I ate four foods all the way up to the show last year! This is insane! I am going to have a bowl of oatmeal once a week.. this bitch can kiss my ass!

I'm on, basically, 4 foods. But I change up the fibrous veggies a bit, you know, for that added variety! One of them's OATMEAL. Ha ha hah haaa haaa!

You don't refeed now and then?

I will be competiting at a level 3 (provincial show). LBM is around 120 (I've been "bulking up " to try and add some more muscle this year. My diet starts in 2 weeks!!

awesome girl!! well at least you have a good bit of time.. I hate that off season weight! blah!

I am competing in bodybuilding.. I will be a heavyweight this year... I could weigh in anywhere between 135-138 at 5'4".. I put on so much damn muscle since last year that I have no clue where I am going to be... I started dieting 16 weeks out... get this... during my diet, I think I put on more muscle than when I did in the off season... I have only lost 10-13 lbs but when I started I was a fat-ass, and now I have veins in my abs/chest/ and starting to show up in my quads... I have maintained all of my size and even gained much more since I started... god bless genetics... I can't stop growing... some people would love to say that, but I am starting to get pissed! I want the scale to move and its not.. I just keep getting leaner... messes with my head for I am seven weeks out and need to lose probably another 15lbs... ??? insane... oh well... gotta keep pushing along...

good luck with your show prep...

I had the same issue last year. My weight stayed the same but I kept getter leaner. Luckily I don't have to make a weight class but for some reason I need to see the scale move. Wish I had the problem that I can't stop growing and have veins on my abs at the same time. Sounds like your right on track. Good Luck to you too!!
