hey guys,

im thinking about doing a small competition. its an "in-house" competition being held at my gym. its on october 29th, so i guess i have a little less than 7 weeks to get ready - can it be done? and just so were on the same page here, this is my first competition ever!

i only considered all this few days ago while looking at the picture board in our gym. i had already seen it before, but this time i was really intrigued and contemplated the idea of competing in my head. i then approached the guys at the desk and asked them "who can i speak to here about competiting :D ?" they then suggested this competition to me and gave me a newsletter to take home and read, although i had already made my mind up on the drive back home ;)

i think this will be great. being that its small competition, i dont feel so pressured, and its kinda like getting off my training wheels :P

i gotta admit, im actually really nervous about the idea of peacocking with a pair of trunks :lol: especially seeing as the already sold out audience will see me every day after that! :o haha

my diet is as follows:

1) wake up shake - 2 cups of skim milk, 1 cup of egg whites, 60-70g of oats and 1 banana

2) 120g of (uncooked) rice and 200g of chicken breast chicken cooked on a skillet with a moderate amount of olive oil, herbs + spices and a small amount of bbq sauce

3) 120g of (uncooked) rice and 200g of chicken breast (preparation as above)

4) can of tuna with 4 slices of whole grain bread - only eating this temporarily as im using up these foods over the following week; this will then change to 400g of potatoes and 1.5 cups of egg whites or a can of tuna

5) post workout shake - 30-40g of dextrose, 60-70g of oats, 1 cup of egg whites, 2 scoops of protein powder and 1 banana

6) 200g of chicken breast (preparation as above), 30g of cashews and 30g of peanuts

i have a few questions; firstly, do i need to cut out skim milk or banana now? secondly, while cutting, is it ok to use dextrose as your primary sugar source in post workout shake? thirdly, should i carry on eating nuts in my last meal, as i exclude carbs? and lastly, how long into my prep can i use olive oil in my food preparation?

should i make a plan right now as far as water, sodium, and carb loading is concerned? or, should leave this for later, and worry about my diet, training and posing for now? where should my priorities lie at this point?

ive taken some pics of where im at right now; no front or leg shots right now, as i ate a few roast beef sandwiches, and my stomach was looking like a balloon :pfft: hehe. havent worked out since friday so these are all cold shots. i will upload some pumped up photos post workout this coming week.

im actually winging this on my own at this point, so any advices would be much appreciated!! :grin:

Can you turn up? Yes. Will you look as best as you can? No. Not enough time to diet down to look as best as you can, but you could still do it. It would be interesting to see how far you could get in 7 or so weeks to be honest.

But like you said, it's a small competition and getting off your training wheels. But I don't think you can really afford to carb load given that you probably won't look fantastic anyway (not being mean, but like I said, it's f*ck all time to diet).

Cut milk out of your diet fullstop.

are we both referring to carb loading during the final stages or intermittent carb loading during the dieting? :?

What's with the uncooked rice?

i was referring to its uncooked weight. maybe i complicated things by writing that, as everything else is according to uncooked measurements too. :)

I'd say do it bro, you have nothing to lose, last year when I went to the club physical comp there was an indian dude that didn't look like he lifted, he didn't even know how to pose (was copying some polynesian dude's dance too!!!) but he actually got on stage (and lols were had when he claimed to squat 200kg) point is he actually did it, you seem to have a decent build and might do well (as long as the massive monsters from the gym don't show up with a a perfect pre contest prep) ...if anything it would give you some stage experince

just my honest opinion

bro straight up if its your first comp then skip this one and pick one early next year that gives you a good 12-20 weeks to prepare. i have recently done my first comp and im telling you now it is the most satifying and rewarding thing that i have ever done in my life. it took me 20 weeks to diet down to 4% naturally and it was honestly the hardest thing ive ever done. the experience would not have been nearly as satisfying if i had only dieted for 7 weeks. i think you should do it properly bro and make it one to remember.

6) 200g of chicken breast (preparation as above), 30g of cashews and 30g of peanuts

Cut the following straight away, not tomorrow or when used up.

MILK.......zero

ALL SAUCES......your cutting for the first time flavor is not your friend use herbs and spices.

BREAD....don't care what type it is it has not place pre comp

POST WORKOUT FOOD.......Keep the shake Get rid of the Oats and Banana

NUTS.....Almonds only and not roasted.

With only 7 weeks you will have to be brutal on your diet and cardio. Not cheating and no re-feed days which may lead to you ending up quite flat and not looking all that sharp. 7 weeks could be done if you had competed before but I would say you need 12 weeks or more for your first comp.

If you do go ahead with it all the best :clap:

Will there be inhouse drugs testing for this comp? :pfft:

WANNABEJAKD's been inhouse testing all the drugs for you Specter! :grin: :pfft:

Then we can assume he will kick ass and take out first place!? 8)

I reckon he should go hard. Sure in 7 weeks he wont be in the kind of shape needed to win a big show but for an inhouse comp I reckon he'll be in good shape if he diets hard.

100% This

At the end of the day its only a small in house comp and if you are keen just do it. Obviously 7 weeks isn't the best lead up but it will at least give you some experience and you should have some fun. If you are looking to compete further down the track use this as a time to practice posing and getting your routine down.

Well since carb loading is the technique used in the final stages and nothing else, then I guess we're both referring to it. There's a big difference between carb loading and carb cycling, and you should carb cycle, but not carb load.

Dairy has a lot of fats as well so there's your answer.

sorry about the late reply guys, and thanks so much for all your advice! i have had numerous people tell me the same thing over and over - that i should have one person, and one person only, overlook everything i do.

well, with the help of a good friend who is a successful competitor, i think i will be steered in the right path! :D

ill keep you guys up to date with progress photos and let you know how things are going!

why cut the milk out?

and the bread? get a more clean complex cho? rice,oats etc

just interested

You need to cut out all dairy and sugars from fruit etc in order to get as lean as you can. The whole "as long as it fits into your daily calorie intake its ok" approach is total bullshit! It may work for genetically gifted individuals but for the vast majority it definitely doesn't!! Its the insulinogenic response from the sugars that causes all the problems. The more carbs or sugars you can eliminate from your pre contest diet the easier the whole process will be. The insulinogenic response you get from these foods throws all the bodies hormones into turmoil and trying to work it all out and keep track of the whole thing is an exercise in futility. Dairy is the same. There are so many individual negative reactions (on a hormonal level) to dairy that its alot to easier to eliminate it altogether.
