The post-contest binge thread

[semper27]

Thanks a lot Buzz McKillagin!
Lol, did you really have to come in here and kill my buzz like that?
You're right though ...

I'm NOT sayin don't have a few "luxury" foods...lol But one can do so much damage in so little time. TRUST ME... once you have your first taste... you are not going to want to stop... it's like a bottomless pit bro! Just sayin be smart about it. A couple of good meals of what you want and hop back on to your prep protocol numbers and slowly add foods back in every 5 days or weekly. This will make your off season progression much more productive. Pre plan it and follow through!

How quickly would you add carbs and fat back into your diet?

[jth16]

How quickly would you add carbs and fat back into your diet?

I think the equation is:

(Bodyweight in lbs = weight of PB&Js consumed)/packs of oreo cookies+number of doughnuts I can cram in my mouth over the course of a week.

My math may be off, I'm a little rusty.

I'd go with 25g per week on the carbs until you reach your maintnance level. As for fats I'd go 5-10g per week until you reach your fat macro maintnance.

Just remember, the guy that could possibly beat you during your "NEXT" contest season probably didn't have a binge extravaganza after his last show. Enjoy yourself by all means but don't absolutely kill it! lol

i am giving myself saturday night and sunday then monday it is right back to my diet

[semper27]

Probiotics will be your friend after your show, along with tons of H20. Really helps with the bloat after you are done binging!

Haha, don't worry man. I'm not going to go insane. I'll give myself 48 hours after the competition to eat whatever, then go back to diet but at higher calories, and most likely with different carb sources, IE: Pastas, rice, other healthy carb sources I've been craving, and during that first week back I'll probably go out to eat with some friends I kinda have been neglecting due to bodybuilding.

Hope I didn't come across as sounding arrogant! I just know how hard you guys have been after it for the past months and some competitors lose total control after a show. Your progress has been nothing short of amazing!

Oh gosh no man, I know you speak the truth. You've been in our position a number of times and have the experience. I'm sure I'll snap back to reality when my abs are gone the next morning.

It plays hell on the mind! Just snap back to it and focus on a Pro Card!!! You've got what it takes my man!

[Wayneizgod]

How long do you guys usually binge for after a contest???..I been going 3 days strong and calling the quits in another day or two

I usually just get wasted after a show... which is usually about 1.5 beers.

[fltallpaul]

Since show season is coming up, I think it would be fun to know what everyone feasted on after the show or are craving.

I am 18 days out and already spent $50 at walmart on some goodies.

Holy crap $50 at Wal Mart goes a long way...take a picture of your stash...lol.

Man that looks AWESOME! You just made my day.

[demonwareltd]

Just remember that the weight gain will be VERY fast and trust me it will not be all water weight! Have a well deserved "few" snacks and meals after your show's but I STONGLY ADVISE SLOWLY adding in "normal" food. All the snack/junk food will taste good momentarily but the feeling of being bloated and miserable lasts for days and depending on how you roll with it... weeks and months. You can easily do a lot of damage in a very short amount of time and the depression factor is no joke. It could take months to recover from binge eating after a show. Enjoy your post contest extravaganza's but try to maintain a slight discipline about it! BE SMART!

I'll second this. This is only first contest prep I'm going through, but I'll be damned if I dieted for close to 5 months only to piss away most of that work in a week or two. Don't get me wrong, I would kill for the Pizza Hut buffet right now, but the more time you put into your prep the more I feel that eating like a lard ass is more and more nonsensical...

[TheKansan]

or how bout one of these

You almost knocked me off my diet with that picture alone.
