Do you have a lot of leaning out to do? Your fat loss should be finished at this point, but if you still have some leaning (drying) out to do I get it. All you can do now is pump yourself full of caffeine before you workout. You're just going to have to mentally push through it all. Take breaks as needed during training....don't pass out at the gym! Haha!

Let us know how it goes! I'm three weeks out myself.

I agree (I'm not a girl sorry) but for pre-contest it is very difficult to just cut your carbs as for it can have negative results such as your case. Your body needs carbohydrates to maintain proper brain function, may I suggest that first of all you just cut your carbs maybe to half of the daily recommendation and secondly invest in a diuretic such as caffiene or buy a supplement that aims to remove excess water underneath your skin to give yourself a dry and more cut look. It is an easy fix if done correcly, again, you should avoid cutting carbs while still in training. Hope this helps in any way possible - Jakoby
