Exactly!! I'm on Keto so im pretty flat most days. But when I carb up n get a good pump in the gym I look like I'm in beast mode!!

Thanks for all the congrats. It's kinda bitter sweet because while it feels good to do so well in my debut, I know that it only becomes more challenging from here and I'll be chasing that "HIGH" from...

So after about 15 weeks of dieting for my first show I finally competed last weekend. I started prep at about 170lbs and around 11-12% bf. I weighed in at the show at a Whopping 149 lbs! Lol. My diet...

Now that is one hell of an explanation!!...I know there's quite a few threads on sodium intake and water (which I've commented in)...but I think I am going to try to find the right combo of fluids...

Looking good man. I just did my first show and cannot emphasize enough about posing practice. I thought I practices enough, but when those stage lights hit you, you feel like a deer and ur focus goes...

Yeah I felt like my condition was decent in hopefully gonna come in a little leaner my next show. I just didn't get that "pump" skin bursting feeling pumping up Saturday like I did today in the gym....

I understand what spilling over means. But to be honest I don't truly understand exactly what it looks like or what to watch for? I know it has your muscles looking "stringy" at least that's the...

I just competed in an NPC competition this past weekend and did both bodybuilding and Men's Physique. I did it to help the promoter get more competitors. It was fun to do. Not as challenging as BB...

Well I continued to sip on water and a little Gatorade. I also had a large carb meal with several cups of rice n lots of season salt. I was already pretty lean and began to get a decent pump.

I...

Ok...so im now at my first show. I finished pre-judging an hour or so ago and I'm waiting for the night show. I think you all saw the earlier post of what my trainer gave me for peak week. Well I did...

This topic has my brain in overdrive and has me worried as hell! This is my first prep with contest day after tomorrow. My coach/trainer has had me keep normal sodium levels all prep. I also had to...

This is kinda what I planned to do as well. I think if I continue competing, I will try to stay somewhat lean year round.

That's funny!

Well then there are all the peeps that think bodybuilding is only for those massive dudes. When I tell them what I'm training for they say "you're doing what!" lol

I didn't say it necessarily bothered me. It's just annoying. I am just coming here to vent because I'm sure all competitors get this comment or the opposite "have you gained weight" comment. Trust...

My wife is prepping too, so we complain to each other. Our friends and co-workers have been pretty supportive as well because they know it's our first comp (well at least some of our...

This is my first contest prep. I started at about 170lbs and I am currently 151 and 2 weeks out from showtime. I've had a couple of comments about my weight loss from non-competitors. Some are just...

Damn keto that long!? I've been on keto for almost 2 1/2 weeks and I'm about to kill someone for a damn serving of anything carb related!

Keep it going!

I'm post whoring to get my 50!!!

Looking solid...I'd heed the advice given by these guys.
