How much does it cost to prepare for a show? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

marso · 22-10-2006, 12:34 PM

This is aimed at the lads on here who compete. I was wondering on average how much does it cost to prepare for a show? I'm not talking an annual cost, but say based on 12-16 weeks to prepare for a show.

Thanks

Paul.

i would say for me taking everything into account 1-2k

Id go with that. And food and supps taking up the most of that.

Tan and trunks about £40 couldnt tell you how much I spent but varied £20-£35 a week for about 14weeks.Its more the cost of my waldrobe as I had to buy new clothes as I got smaller(annoying).

natural unatural??

imo i have spent around 15-20 quid a week on gear if that....

30 quid a week on food ( i have lived on eggs, chicken breast and oats)

20 quid a week on protien/carb/vitamins supps etc

so 12 weeks=
£240 on supps

Thanks for the replys. I thought it would be more expensive than that. At least I know for future reference as I've decided to give myself a full year with a view on competing. I was just curious as to whether the cost during the prep weeks would put me off.
