    Why I Don't Cut Water Anymore and Neither Should You...

    @yanoca This is a little bit of a technical post, my goal was not to display myself full or at my best, but to compare the effect of water during depletion. If you want to see bigger picture just go on my Instagram, but that won't be relevant to this topic.

    @playing_the_angel I agree for most parts. Only difference is that I keep sodium stable.

    Why I Don't Cut Water Anymore and Neither Should You...

    @paparazi257 It's very sneaky, because you don't necessarily see yourself getting smaller during those 24 hours, but you are. Then you look at pictures and.. Dammit!

    Fat and Tired

    @silverflame You have a good job and seem serious about fixing your current situation, I recommend you hire professional help and drop 50lbs in the same time it'd take you to lose 10 lurking on forums and DIY. Nothing wrong about doing your own research, but most people I work with prefer to...

    Why I Don't Cut Water Anymore and Neither Should You...

    @akadouble Big downsides for rather small benefits. Maybe if I weighted 243lbs I wouldn't mind giving up a few pounds of size for extra shredz, but this isn't my world.

    Why I Don't Cut Water Anymore and Neither Should You...

    Even non-lifters assume that getting shredded on show day is about cutting water. I literally get this from everyone when I tell them I compete; "Oh you stop drinking water and shit?". No I don't. I used to, but I haven't for my last 4 shows and 2 modeling gigs. Here's a comparison AT SIMILAR...

    A few reasons why people f*ck up their 1st contest prep and what you can do about it

    @leonidad The most accurate way to calculate TDEE is to not calculate it. Just stick to a certain number of calories and macros; then wait. You will accurately know of you are on a deficit or surplus. This is much more precise than using any tool out there. No system knows your exact...

    A few reasons why people f*ck up their 1st contest prep and what you can do about it

    @leonidad Well that's the point of my post. You could. I work from my computer and don't practice any sport.. My metabolism is very average and I get fat if I eat more than 3k. My approach has been working without failing for years on me or on my clients. I didn't invent it, I was taught by an...

    A few reasons why people f*ck up their 1st contest prep and what you can do about it

    @combscreek It varies according to a few factors like how much you lowered your metabolism, how long you've been on a deficit, keto or not, current condition, hormones, how well you do the said reverse dieting, etc. I've had anywhere between 3 weeks and 4 months. Usually a month is pretty...

    A few reasons why people f*ck up their 1st contest prep and what you can do about it

    @combscreek Yeah keto feels great. Most of the problems associated with keto are actually caused by prolonged caloric deficit. Well at 6 days out, let's see. I have zero info on your journey and current situation, so I can't get technical here, but still You still got time to get leaner if you...

    A few reasons why people f*ck up their 1st contest prep and what you can do about it

    @dawn16 If you can get show ready without going keto, do it by any means. What I'm saying is that if you need to do it, but just don't do it because you enjoy your daily pancakes, that's a mistake. Drop carbs before dropping calories. Guys could keep calories much higher if they just dropped...

    A few reasons why people f*ck up their 1st contest prep and what you can do about it

    Too soft, too small and blames judging for their poor performance. This is usually how first shows go. But why? And mostly, can this be avoided? Of course. Overall Game Plan * Just knowing what you stage weight should realistically be is a starter. Guys have unrealistic expectations and get...
