Let's do this........

[The Shadow]

Shadow... I'm starting to lower my cals slowly.. by taking one thing out of each meal.. EX 1-1/2 scoops of protien instead of 2... Peanuts out of my b/rice and veggies, No salsa on my eggs... etc.. I haven't started the carb rotation that starts next week.. I'm still strong as hell I mean like jumping 10lbs in some exercises each week without having to lower sets or reps. When do I stop increasing and stick with a good comfy weight and up reps?

I am upping my water intake to as close to 1-1/2 gals a day as I can get in.

I posted a water thread.. didn't get any responses but seriously want to know how much water is just too much. Is there a such thing?

Lets the diest dictate when to stop increasing....you WILL plateau...at that point modify your reps....


dont make ANY changes unless your training dictates


Water - conflicting info..I personally think 2 gallons is enough except for maybe the week of the show

My trainer has me drinking 1 oz water per 1 lb of bodyweight. I.e. I weight 146 right now - I drink around 148 oz water. Like Shadow said, this will change the week of my show as part of a water depletion phase. I posted a thread somewhere about how you can drink too much, but I imagine you'd have to try pretty hard to do it.
