Any thoughts or opinions on using cream of rice for a carb up right before a show? Does it work just like regular rice as a quick carb source?

I second the suggestion to use Liquid Sun Rayz. It's not cheap, but you will get a good tan and not have to worry about what shade to use, how many coats, etc. They figure it all out for you. I'm...

Ken,

When you say no carbs, are you talking all carbs or just starchy sources like oats, sweet potatoes, etc.? Can you still eat veggies or are you talking no carbs at all?

Thanks,
David

The first thing I did was trim all my body hair short. I did this by using hair clippers without a guard for larger areas like my legs. Then I used the Gillette Fusion ProStyler for smaller areas...

I'm currently in a similar situation. My first show is in 9 days (Sept. 7th also). I'm 168 right now and wanted to get to 165 1/4 lbs. My coach told me not to worry about it. I'm going to keep on...

Good luck. Got any picks to see where you're at? Which show will you be competing in?

Yes I've been on the same diet the whole time. I was having a regular cheat meal every two weeks but that stopped about 4 weeks ago. Sometimes at night I will have some almonds or almond butter so...

Here's a couple more pics. These are from yesterday.

Tomorrow will be 6 weeks out from my first show. I started prep at 20 weeks. Here's a picture i took this morning. I'm looking for honest critiques. I don't think I'll be lean enough. My coach...

Great show last night. I had a couple friends compete in it. Well run by the Dales as always. I'm glad September isn't going to be at Madam Walker Theatre though. It's always so hot there.

My wife is currently nursing our first baby and getting back into the gym. Many proteins don't say anything about nursing or pregnant women. Her doctor said protein shakes are safe to drink but...

Why isn't the blue raspberry flavor available in the 65 serving container?

Why isn't the watermelon flavor available on BB.com? Also I haven't seen that in the 65 serving container either.

I would suggest running intervals. For example run 400m fast then jog/walk 200m and repeat. Let your heart rate drop a little but not too low. If you get used to running near top speed, when you...

Orange Triad for all the reasons listed above. I've been taking it for 4 months now and really like it. I take it in the morning right after my workout and then again at night between dinner and...

Just hangin out, lurking

So I've been doing a couple of different HIIT and interval workouts and they're getting a little stagnant. I'm looking for some new ones. Here's what I've been doing:

1. Jog 1 minute (~50% max),...
