I recently competed and won my middle weight division. And almost took the overall at an NPC show. I felt great about that as I was probably one of the only one's natural in the event! Anyhow, I applied most of Dr.Joe's principles by luck I guess, as I did not know bout Dr. Joe and his awesome wealth of information until the day before the show. Well, I am competing 13 days from now. I am 5' 7" and at 178 to 180 super lean right and extremely vascular right now(Competed at 172 two weeks ago). I just don't want to loose too much before this show, as I had to continue to diet a little after my show 2 weeks ago. The only thing I feel like I didn't do on my last show was add in enough carbs on that Friday, and came in a tad flat/unfull on Sat. I only took in around 240-250g carbs Friday and about 1.5gallons of Distalled H20 and 850-1000mg Sodium. I took in around 140-150 on Thursday...and around 180-200 Mon-Friday on my final training days. I am planning to take in around 385g this go around, along with a total of 1000-1200mg Sodium. I took in 405g 3 days ago to see if I would spill over. I actually felt fantastic and that was with at least taking in 5K to 6K of sodium in on that day. ANY ADVICE ON THE CARB LOAD DAY WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks so much!
