Dieting and Getting Ready for Bodybuilding Competition

Excerpt : Competition dieting is rather an individual matter as far as success goes. Generally, if one is in a calorie deficit, while maintaing a very high protein content and taking anabolics, that person

Competition dieting is rather an individual matter as far as success goes. Generally, if one is in a calorie deficit, while maintaing a very high protein content and taking anabolics, that person will lose minimal muscle if any at all while losing a great deal of bodyfat. Add to that combo fat burning aids, and one can achieve stage shape very quickly.

Below is a standard formula that I used succesfully on many people. It is designed to make one in competition shape in extreme time. The biggest change so far has been one person that went from 21% to 4% bodyfat in the 9 weeks of the preparation.

DIET - Weeks 9 & 8

06.00 am training

08.00 12 egg whites, 1 apple, protein shake

10.00 100g rice, 1 apple, protein shake

12.00 red meat, salad (tomato, lettuce, cucumber), protein shake with 10g flax seed oil

14.00 100g bread, 1 apple, protein shake

16.00 tuna or chicken or fish, protein shake

18.00 100g maltodextrin, 1 apple

18.30 pm training

20.30 chicken or turkey or fish, salad, protein shake

21.30 run (20 - 30) minutes

This diet is to be followed Monday to Saturday. On Sunday, as many carbs as desired are allowed. Training is performed Mon to Sat with Sun off. Running is performed every

night.

This diet is the diet for the weeks 9 and 8, competition being at end of week 1. The times on the diet are as an example and they should be modified to suit ones needs. However, DO NOT miss meals and DO NOT swap them around!!! The aim here is to only have the amount of carbs outlined on the diet. Fat is absolutelly minimal. Protein is at maximum. On this diet, you should never feel hungry. If you do, eat more protein.

After 2 weeks of this diet, you will drop the maltodextrin carb meal. Two weeks later, you will drop the bread carb meal. Two weeks after that, you will drop the rice meal. That will leave you 2 weeks on virtually no carbs. Don't worry, by then, the body is used to using fat for energy, so you won't have any problems. The hardest days will be the first week of your diet, until you will get used to using fat for energy.

When you drop a carb meal, replace it with a protein meal.

On the weekends, you can have as many carbs as you wish, but they have to be CLEAN carbs, so no McDonalds!

The last week, will be a full on carb week while you adjust your water levels. I will detail that in another article.

work and it's only for 9 weeks.

GEAR (steroids)

Use normal bulking gear until 4 weeks out (test, a-50, d-bol, deca, etc). 4 weeks out switch the test to test propionate or suspension. Drop the Deca/EQ, etc. Add primobolan, tren, winny, etc. One week out, only use tren, masteron, suspension, primo tabs, winny.

Use GH throughout - as much as you can afford. No insulin.

Use Arimidex or Nolvadex every day as desired. To keep your testes at a normal size, either use HCG every 4th week (2,000IU on Mon, Wed, Fri) or 50mg EOD of Clomid throughout the whole thing. Don't use these for the last 4 weeks before the show though.

Cutting compounds: Use a good ECA product like SyntheBURN twice a day, every day. Use Clenbuterol at 80mcg/day for the first week. Increase it to 160mcg/d for the second week. The third week you add 25mcg/d T3. You add another 25mcg/d every week following that, until you reach 150mcg/d. You stay on that until the end of the diet. You stay on Clenbuterol thoughout as well. Yes, you will be racing! But you will not loose any muscle, so do not worry about that (as long as you take your protein in).

Last week do your diuretics program. That will be outlined in another article. One hour before stage
