I'm 2 days out and need some help..

[Bubba]

I did the sodium load and sodium deplete for my show Saturday and I feel like I'm losing to much weight. What can I do/eat/take 2morrow so I'll still come in hard and cut but keep my weight from going any lower??

you're too tight to the show, you should have experimented 4 weeks out

I suggest you don't load until the morning of the show if you're a bit heavier and a little load at night before if your at 4%-5%

Eveyrthing is cool today. I woke up this morning and looked good. I took about 4TBSPs of Flax oil before I went to bed and I don't know if that helped or not but I woke up and looked real hard. Legs and everything. I'm eating swwet potatoes and Chicken every 2 1/2 hours today and so far I'm keeping the look. I'll try to post a pic if I win anything ...
I'm gonna eat a couple of small meals before the am show. Prolly some solid starchy carbs w/chicken and then bring the faster acting sugars in on the way to the show. Does anyone have any better ideas??

how lean are you bro? you can fat load too

[Bubba]

Sorry I couldn't get back to you before the show X. I got 2nd (out of 8) in my division (super-heavys). I talked to the judges afterwards. They said it could have went either way. The other guy was a home town boy though so oh well... I think I looked better than dude. He was big and full but his legs werent hard. I was hard from head to toe. It's the best I looked in a long time!! SUCKS!!! I weighed in at 251. I'm 6'3'' and I was around 4% i'd say because I was a little over 4% 2weeks out and it had to of gone down some.
Anyway...what do you mean by fat load?? How does that help and what does it do??

[Mr.X]

fat load is like a carb load but you load with fat, makes you drop water and look full - doesn't for for all people but some do very well with it
