Is best to take two days off unless you're at the tail end of your comp, like 3-4 weeks. Then you work 5 days a week, if needed.
But, I believe you have been working this hard for quite a while, right?
I'm sorry, but you need TIME off from doing anything in order for your metabolism to recover. Forgive me, but who is this trainer? She's hurting you!
I know you want to finish this contest. You have 6 weeks to go?
I'd take a couple of days off. If you feel better, then go back to 5 days a week and if you don't feel better, take off till you recover. Your health is more important then ONE show.

What Thandie said 100%.
The trainer sounds like he/she is beating you into the ground, not helping you prepare for a show. Yea, you are supposed to feel fatigued but not like you want to die and NOT at 6 weeks out. You are only down to 18%bf that is considered athletic and not the severely low bf that is necessary in order to be competitive for bbing. If you feel like this at 18% totally hydrated how do you think one could survive getting down to sub 10% AND dehydrated? You would never make it to the stage!!!
Your health is more important than any show - PERIOD.

OMG, you're doing BB? and you are at 18%BF? you can't make it in 6 weeks. You're killing yourself for nothing. I'm guessing whatever approach your trainer used is the wrong one.
I'm sorry, but I'm very concern. I'm a competitor and I naver had to do that much work. I'm tired, don't get me wrong, but I don't get really tired till the last week.
NEVER get dehydrated BTW! Don't let anyone talk you into that. The week before the show and the day of the show I drink 1 1/2 gallon of water and my muscles are beautifully hydrated and full. NEVER stringy!!
Im not doing BB its figure...and I am drinking water. I would rather not name my trainer because she is a well known ifbb pro. Anyway, I think I will take two days off and see how I feel. I agree I shouldn't feel like Im being beat into the ground. I still have 5 weeks to do that cardio. I just feel bad for going against what she says..Im not telling her. Where Is photobucket?
Good, what a relief! You're doing Figure.
I didn't mean "who your trainer actually is" LOL. It was a figure of speach.
Don't feel guilty, is your life!
Yes, take a couple of days off, and if you can just rest and sleep and allow your body to recup would do you good.

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression about what she is competing in. What I was trying to say is that NO ONE should feel THAT FATIGUED at 18%bf. Hell, if that was the case no one would live to step out on stage for a bodybuilding or fitness comp where you have to be more muscular and far leaner in order to be competitive.
I understand your reservations about going against your trainer's guidance but you already had misgivings or you would not have questioned her advice. Bottom line is not everyone has *the answer* for every other body. It is YOUR MONEY and more importantly YOUR BODY. Rest a few days, I am thinkin that if you tweak this *just right* you might still make your show in time. Or as we said before, surely there will be another competition a few weeks later that you can do instead?

I have that same damn problem. I think it is genetics. I just can't get rid of the belly fat. I also have a little belly pocket of fat under the belly button. I hate it. I have tried every diet with my trainer. keto, low carb, moderate carb....
I have also tried lots of cardio, no cardio....
I have even used the fat burning creams and B12 injections. And I have come to the conclusion if I want it gone it will have to be sucked out. So I just get my self as lean as I can everywhere else and on show days I try to stand taller to stretch out the abs so the fat pocket is harder to see.
