Days before comp

[kpat102]

Out of curiosity, how do you guys go about manipulating food/water in the final days leading up to a comp? I've always wondered how bodybuilders do it, with the carb loading and water depleting etc...can someone explain how its done? cheers

Everyone is different and to a large extent it depends on your approach to carbs and sodium in your precontest diet.

Personally l use a low carb, low sodium diet so when the final week comes its just a matter of keeping fluid intake constant to the last couple of days then decrease to just the essential and drop sodium for 3 days prior to comp.

Its not complicated.

For powerlifting... Just sit around and visualise, put up some selfies on Facebook and eat burger rings and stuff.
