When you say you are unsure of how to higher and lower carb intake, is this because you want to loose fat leading up to your comps ? if so look in the the loosing weight section, and look up carb cycling (timed carbs wrote by pscarb) http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/losing-we...med-carbs.html heres a link anyway hope this is of some use

Sorry you havent had a response my friend, it doesnt look good but isnt a fair representation of the board on the whole

ok, as you have used before, you have to go in an open event so using other supplements may aid in the pursuit for mega leaness

you havent really said what you want or need to do to compete? i assume its to cut if the show is close?

as for the diet, that will not be a good long term diet to cut on

you have no carbs of note after training and manipulating carbs is essential to get very lean

when is your chosen show to be held? we can go from there

stuextreme · 30-04-2008, 09:14 PM

thanks for the replys i don't know if i should compete this year or next as i've never done it before was going to go along to the show for the info really and take it from there.

will look at the diet plans and change mine to suit thanks for the link.

sayin that my shape ain't too bad at the minute and could be ready for oct time will try and upload some pictures and let me know what you think if i should put some more size on or stay as i am

many thanks stu

Is that not you in your avatar ?

cellaratt · 30-04-2008, 09:23 PM

Hi Stu...sorry I missed your first post, glad to see you stuck around...If your gonna do a show it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a show journal started and kinda lay it on the line for everybody to go over and critque for you....this is a great forum with many competitive BB who I'm sure will be happy to help...that's what everybodys here for....you will get you share of responces from lounge chair BB like me but you never know when we can pull a great idea out are a*ses, we have a tendency to follow the KISS rule and not over complicate things when they don't need to be...look forward to reading your journal soon...Cheers...

stuextreme · 30-04-2008, 09:43 PM

stuextreme · 30-04-2008, 09:48 PM

yeah matty thats me in my avatar

thats for the help cellaratt will try and sort a journal and see what happening with training and diet

i've uploaded couple pictures not very good though as off camera phone but let me know any advice will help and don't mind being criticized if it will help me do better

stuextreme · 30-04-2008, 09:49 PM

think i need to work on my back more.. what do you think

MATTY_2008 · 30-04-2008, 09:53 PM

You are already nice and lean m8, if you did choose to compete this year I could'nt see it taking that long to get yourself into comp standard.

stuextreme · 30-04-2008, 09:57 PM

thanks matty i do know more first timers will be semi pro but do you think i should wait put some more size on so can look that little bigger.

MATTY_2008 · 30-04-2008, 10:07 PM

To be honest m8, I am not one who cannot really comment on that as I have not competed myself although if your show is not till october time you could carry on doing your current diet, training programme (For 3 months) and work on that back as you think it is one of your weak points, and then closer to the show (3 months out) start your cutting phase for the show. Just my opinion other people have far more knowledge than myself and I am sure will help you out.

stuextreme · 30-04-2008, 10:13 PM

cheers will keep you posted and will let you know whats happening once been to the show and take it from there.

cellaratt · 30-04-2008, 10:36 PM

What are you currently doing for back exercises ..? please include sets and reps and rest time. Also indicate if you go up in weight between sets or stay the same...
