Looking good bro, But what did you place? I might have read over it but dont think i did. Also how old are you?

I actually only placed 4th in my weight class which was a little discouraging, but there was 11 guys in my class who were all in pretty good shape. I looked a lot better the night before the show and seemed to lose everything right before prejudging. I'm thinking nerves got the best of me or I didn't time my final details right w/ the water and salt and shit. Should've taken at least 2nd if I would have been on the money. But, there's alwasy next time I guess.

Thanks my man. It was very strict for about 2 1/2 weeks. Pretty much consisted of Egg Whites, Chicken Breasts, Fish, Lean Beef, and Beverly Protein Powders for protein. Green Vegetables, Sweet Potatos, Rice, Green Apples, Grapefruit, and Oatmeal for carbs. Flax Oil for fats. Strictly water or diet beverages with no sugar for beverages. Ate around 6-8 times per day. Trained four days a week and did cardio on the other three. Definitely was not much fun!

actually I've cut out all the obvious sodium, except for whats in cottage cheese, pop, etc, but the water is still crazy. I wonder how much it might have to do with the gh that I started right after the show

haha for cankles. Congrats flexdiesel on sticking to the diet too. Its not easy thing to do. I used to eat canned chicken and tuna, but there is all that sodium, do you just eat regular chicken and tuna then? It is hard being in college to prepare all kinds of food.

Thanks partner! Yeah, dieting was rough. Luckily I took some time off work to just focus on my training, eating, and cooking. It is very strict and time consuming. I did a couple of shows back a few years ago when I was still in college and didn't do near as well. Shoot, when you get down to that low of a bodyfat % your pretty much brain dead, along w/ everything else being dead, so it is definitely not easy. As far as sodium goes I didn't worry about it. I actually added salt to about every meal I ate. As long as your drinking a large amount of water every day sodium should not pose a problem.

Live it up bro! You only live once enjoy yourself while you can. I miss those college days even though Cincinnati was kinda boring anyways.
