5 days out from first competition... TROUBLESHOOTING
I am competing in bikini division on Saturday. So here's the problem... I'm super lean on top, to the point of looking too dry. But I am still holding a lot of water in my ass/ backs of my legs.
Originally I was going to stick to my original diet through the entire week (not drop any carbs) and start cutting my water on Thursday and load up with more dry carbs on Friday. Now that this problem has become more apparent and I've been freaking out to my trainer about it, we are dropping my carbs in half until Friday, and then I will carb load according to plan. We're not adding in any extra fats so I'm actually going to be in more of a deficit this week. We're also bumping up my cardio this week.
I'm freaking out now that I am going to either be too loose on the bottom or too tight on the top. I know for bikini you will not place well if your abs are too defined and mine are already showing a TON. BUT the little jiggle below my butt is even worse.
Is this a good approach?
