I personally have followed Layne's advice about not depleting water and sodium before a show. I reduced my sodium from about 16 weeks out and kept them at that steady level up to the day of the show....

I agree. The hcmm looks the best. The hhmm gives your back a narrow appearance so should be avoided unless called and the hwmm doesn't show your chest cuts as well as teh hcmm. Your progress is...

The world is full of too many gold diggers and hoes looking for their next baby's daddy. I was played by a digger once who was all cool at first and even payed for some of the meals we went out for....

It all depends on how you translate the word "bodybuilder." Depending on one's outlook, we could all be bodybuilders, weightlifters, strength trainers, etc. The only title that really stands out...

I say yes, but be aware of the sodium content on them. I usually get the Quaker lightly salted variety which is made primarily from brown rice and corn with 7 grams of carbs and 15mg sodium apiece....

Shortly before I went back to lather up with DT I had a couple rice cakes with a light smear of PB and drizzle of honey, then I ate a HUGE handful of M&M's and 4 niacin pills with distilled water...

That was my contest day food along with yams. Every third cake I added a drizzle of honey. On the regular day by day contest prep, I ate the rice cakes plain or with tofu. I only used PB to increase...

I used it as well during my hell week, but I didn't know about the saran wrap trick. I did find that quantity made the difference. WHen I put on a thin coating, I didn't see much going on, but once I...

My sex drive was there but I was so busy during hell week that I didn't have time to pursue alternative means of cardio. Besides that, my fiancee wanted nothing to do with a prickly Oompa-Loompa.

X2 - At around 40-55 mg sodium per egg white (depending on size), I cut them out when I start to deplete sodium.

Excellent transition and great job on your placing. It is inspiring to see other natural bodybuilders so dedicated to the sport, placing well, and having fun throughout the whole ride.

I was feeling bloated and un-motivated after my cheat day meal(s) and wasn't seeing great results by the next weekend. I did tend to burn off a few pounds quicker for the next two days after...

Extra sugar free gum. Lots and lots of it. And sugar free jello (has aspartame) at 10 calories per serving (8 servings per package).

I also drank coffee with light splenda up until 2 weeks before...

My goal was for 4%, but came in at 4.8% on the calipers. I'd shoot for the 4%-5% range. The more cut you are, the better you'll look.

I flushed water using Taraxatone with a minor depletion.

To really lean up, Id take out all dairy and bread sources. Replace bread (pita) with brown rice, oats, sweet potato, or bran. Swap out your dairy products (yogurt & cottage cheese) with albacore,...

I can't find any information pertaining to this. I did find a contact email address for them. I'd send them your question and get the answer straight from the horses mouth.

Doh! Yes, that is 150mg. Good eye.

One thing to consider is raw rice and dry oats expand when they sit in water. If you eat these items until you are stuffed, they may expand in your stomach and cause discomfort or temporary bloating.

I usually buy the Skippy natural.

Ingredients: Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Palm Oil, Salt.

Nutranerd info: Fat-16g, Sodium-150g, Carbs-6g, Sugar-3g, Protein-7g. Less than 1/8 the ingredients from...

Depends how well I pay attention to them.

If I space off the eggs, I make an omlet because the bottom starts to brown.

If I'm on the ball, it is scrambled.
