   | Re: Dels First time show prep Hi All, I have that Friday feeling today and I am really looking forward to carbing up tommorow:lift: I have been 100% strict with the diet and am now getting a little sick of sirlion etc (Though I could do it for many weeks yet if needed). TBH I think the trick with the diet is all in the mind. I have convinced myself to eat for performance not for pleasure. And so far this mentallity is paying off. On another note, I have completed and returned my entry forms. And I must say there was a little bit of "WOW this is really happening" when I done so. Which will probably explain why I am now thinking: "Sh1t, only 11 weeks to go". I detect the first sign of nerves here team..........(I can handle it LOL:p ) OK here is the bones: MENTAL STATE: I have been a little more emotional latley, considering how all this preparation is affecting my "real" life. It has made me really put the effort in with my family when I get the time (Which is not much BTW). Other than that I am feeling very focused and determined to do what needs doing. I am now desperatley wanting to see more results as the more lean I get the better I look (Which is driving my ambition even more). I suspect this is how all bodybuilders think when dieting down............ TRAINING: Back and triceps tonight (With 30 mins cardio at end) Deadlift T bar rows Close grip pulldowns Other back machine (Dont know what it is called:crazy: ) Close grip bench pushdowns behind the neck dumbell (Heavy) DIET: Still the same as per Pscarbs plan, though instead of having beef medalions last night I had lamb (Tesco extra lean good for you lamb BTW). GEAR: Still a few weeks before proper initiation, but the dbol is making me ravenous, and I think I have put on a little water from them. Test E and deca is "Brewing in the pot" LOL CRAZY STUFF: Right this is just from a few days back, and still makes me smile:p As you may know my training partner is also a co-worker (Different department) and he has commited to doing this diet alongside me (Which he has stuck to BTW and he is a top man for doing so). But as is normal in a diet situation you tell everyone about it and Ianm is no exception to this rule, so a few days back I learned that his department was due a "Cleanliness audit" by an external audit team. I though here was a chance for a wee giggle LOL. So in my devious mode I went to the shops and bought a big roll of jaffa cakes (His favourite snack), and while he was out of office I sneaked them into a discrete but findable spot near his desk. The audit team came in and of course one of the things they found was the jaffas. At this point no-one was aware of the audit findings as that would be announced later. Well you can imagine the scene when the announcement was made to the whole department (Around 12 people) that the score was low due to jaffas being located at his desk. His face was a picture and everyone instantly turned and looked at him. His only futile responce was "There no mine"........followed by everyone laughing. In the end he sussed it was me who placed them, and we had a good laugh about it. Oh yeah and remember the shaving incident (3 lovely ladies)????? Well I was told on Wednesday night by the gym staff, that a "Complaint" had been made regarding shaving in the spa.........and it is now banned LOL. |

| Re: Dels First time show prep Honestly Del the Jaffas were not mine - although I will be honest and say that when I picked them up off the floor I really did struggle to let them go! God I could murder a Jaffa Cake! |

| Re: Dels First time show prep Hi All, Well its been a good weekend, with me being really busy with 101 things.... I have stuck 100% to the diet and I must say Saturday was brill (Re-feed day), the potatoes were just yummy and for my cheat meals (5 and 6) I had a double quarter pounder from McDonalds(Meal 5), and a chinese and mars bar (Meal 6).......LOL Friday night was when I really felt the diet "bite" though, I think it was because I knew I was so close to carbing up again. As mentioned though I stuck to it. Saturday is a distant memory now though (its amazing how quick it has passed), so onwards and upwards with this weeks diet. MENTAL STATE: I have remained in a good positive mood overall, but I find myself caught in some sort of "tunnel vison" thing........ Not sure if this is diet related but I do seem to be blocking out emotions more and just focusing on the task at hand (Contest). My only fear from this at the moment is the adverse effect it may be having on my social / family life.........I now trully know what sort of commitment it takes to be a competitive bodybuilder. THIS IS NOT A SPORT OR A HOBBY, IT IS A LIFE CHOICE............. TRAINING: As of tonight my training is being changed. I now intend to do the following: Mon - Chest/Biceps (30 mins cardio) Tues-off Wed - Quads/Hams/Calves - finish this session with walking lunges...(30 mins cardio) Thurs-off (30 mins cardio) Fri- -Shoulders/Triceps/Calves (30 mins cardio) Sat- (1 hour posing + abs) Sun - Back/Rear Delts/Traps (30 mins cardio) 4 exercises for large bodyparts and 3 for small ones. 4 sets per exercise... DIET: Diet is as previous posts, now into second week of diet plan GEAR: As per previous posts CRAZY STUFF: Right this one is silly and is totally crazy................. Because of the diet, when one goes to the loo it can be REALLY hard to push out a turd (High protien zero carb diet). LOL Dont get me wrong all functions are working well but you need to have a wee bit more patience and a wee bit more effort. Anyway on Saturday (Before I went for a shower) I was sat on my loo pushing like a mad man and I happened to glimpse myself in the mirror....... WTF the veins were actually popping out from my delts, traps, biceps and chest..................this was the most unbelievable sight I have seen guys. This "Discovery" had me posing in a whole new fashion for the next couple of hours, to the point that I can now get vascular at will (Without the need for a loo LOL) Infact next day at the gym I called Ianm over to show him this new trick, and he too was amazed at how vascular I became when I did this. So for my next pics I think I should include at least one photo of my new "Flexing" style. That is of course if I dont burst a blood vesel first................................ |

Couple of things, dont push, that is not good. Dehydration can cause constipation. But in all actuality you need some fiber. Something low carb. You could add something like green beans, asparagus, something like even psyllium seed husks. Fact of the matter most low carb higher fat high protein diets cause consitpation. Adding fiber will rid you of this little problem. but dont push to where you get vains popping out, that is way overkill.:axe: You will get hemmeroids(sp) or something else.

| Re: Dels First time show prep Hi All, Since it is Friday and it has been a few days since the last update I will give you all a detailed report. Well I have now been on Pscarbs initial 2 week diet for 2 weeks and as you might already know this consisted mainly of lean meat (Mostly sirlion and fillet). The 2 week diet was designed to quote: "Blow away the cobwebs". When I first recieved the diet and saw that it contained mostly meat I was delighted (Carnivore LOL). And one of my initial reactions was YEEEESSSSSS I can do this easy. But, like a rubix cube it looked easyer than it actually was to do. I did stick to the diet 100% though, and I have managed to come through to the other side. One of the reasons that it was so harsh was because even though you are eating loads of meat etc it is virually zero carb for 2 weeks..........this is fine for the first 4-5 days but soon after it hits you HARD. Man if you have ever had to do squats, presses, extensions, lunges, SLDL, ham curls, calf raises, seated and standing. with NO ENERGY you will know what I am saying here LOL. So to say i am looking forward to a carb rotation is an understatement!!!!!(Even 40g of carbs sounds alot to me LOL) Right now those porrige oats with water (Wallpaper paste) sound delicious (RAIKEY or DB told me I would come to love em, and they were right LOL). I officially start phase 2 of Pauls diet on Sunday......I will post up the details as soon as I have them. Overall, the cobwebs were blown away alright...............I lost another 6 pounds, but I now feel REALLY small and still smooth  , though I am told that this is because I am totally carb depleted (Muscle fullness). MENTAL STATE: I have continued to fall into this "Tunnel vision" thinking, my life at the moment being completley filled with one goal. I did however get the chance to speak to my wife regarding my concerns of how this is affecting our relationship, and to her TOTAL credit she is a star and said she knows I need to do this and if I want any help or want her to do anything more just to ask (She loves me LOL). This conversation really gave me a wee mental boost and again for anyone contemplating doing this sort of thing BELIEVE me you will need an understanding partner (I now see her as my biggest supporter). While I am on the subject of praise; Again I must also thank my training bro (Ianm), he is top dollar and seems to be as possesed as I am with regards to diet / training. Also all you guys and of course Pscarb (Who has to put up with my moaning PM's LOL). TRAINING: I have changed the training around to Pscarbs recommendations...TBH there is not much difference between sets / reps. Only real difference would be frequency of body parts, and different days for legs etc. (Details have been previously posted?????) DIET: As per previous posts......but all is about to change on sunday (Phase 2 for 4 weeks) GEAR: Off the dbol as of tommow, continue to use Test E / deca (Previous posts) CRAZY STUFF: To finish off this update I would like to give you a wee laugh that happened only yesterday: As you would expect most people in my work know that I am dieting, and as such I get asked about progress etc So when one female in particular realised I had before / after pictures she asked me to mail them to her........(Pic that was sent below). Now I sent the picture thinking she would say WOW what an amazing difference you look buff etc etc here is teh (Telephone) responce Female: Hi Del just looked at your pic Me: Well what do you think? Female: Which one is the improvement? Me: Ehhh, what do you mean....... Female: I take it teh one without the veins is after the diet? Me: ehhhh.........naw Female: You mean you are actually going for the veins..............? Me: Of bloody course they are "Mental" Female: Oh no, you are crazy why would you want to look like that? Me: I dont I want to look even more mental Female: ohhhhhh This was followed by a 20 sec silence Then... Me: Bwwwwwaaaahhaaaahhaaaaaaaaaa Female: you are crazy Del bye. So there you go its official females do NOT like vascularity. Maybe next week I will post a thread on: WHY do you do this? I seem to get asked this ALL the time.....how about you????? Cheers Gang Have a great weekend............................. |
