Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
Geo .. I think I just needed more carbs in the run up to the show .. I was dry on show day but just fdidn't feel full enough. Gonna cut my carbs a bit tues/weds this week then ramp them up for thurs/fri. I'm also gonna keep fluids high until friday then cut them back. I cut them back from 3 days out for the NW and I don't think that helped me (not that it would have helped that much as I was still too small at the end of teh day). Not decided on the rebound but it won't be anything fancy.

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
Hey mate, well done on competing! Nev mind bout the placing because you will fill out for the next show, by the looks of the competitor list you were up in a very large line up aswell!

The main thing is that your in the best condition of your life and now can look forward to a great summer

But when is the pendle that you want to do? How many weeks to go?

Have you got any pix of the event mate, i cant find any pics anywhere of it.

Well done mate, take care.

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
Brit .. thanks mate. Placing would've been an added bonus .. I did the show to prove to myself (and a few other people) that I could and that is victory enough for me

The Pendle is this coming saturday 17th May so only a few days to go. No pics of the NW as far as I know. I'm trying to upload my posing routine vid but photobucket is taking ages grrrr!!!!

well done, you looked good up there but it was a massive class, it's just about who turns up on the day.

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
WOW What a transformation from the start of your diet. MASSIVE well done.

Just a bit of advice. You weren't undercarbed (you'd be suprised how little you really need) you were under watered. Keep loading the water right up to the night before and the result is full bursting muscles as its the water that gives you the pump, not the carbs directly.

I dont want to interfer but reducing water before a show is not only dangerous but a very old fashioned way esp if you used diuretics (not sure if you did)

Whatever tho you look great and that in itself is a huge achievement.

Best of luck

J

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
Thanks James .. yeah I don't think restricting fluids worked that well for me and I did use something to help with water loss which would've flattened me out. This time it will just be lots of water and vit c until friday evening. How many carbs would you advise for my carb up?

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
You look good mate, should dry out nicely for your next show if you don't stop water so early. I think it would be hard for James to advise you on how many carbs to take in as he doesn't know how you respond! I recon you should continue water until the night before your show then just sip up until you get on stage.
On the saturday I drank just over 8 litres up until about 8pm.. I then sipped on water and had some dry white wine at 11pm then went to bed. When I woke up for the toilet I had a sip of water. It worked really well and I came in alot better than when I cut water out at 6pm sat evening before the UKBFF.. I came in fuller and in better condition!

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
I hope you don't mind me asking, but i'm new to this, its my first post! Just interested re the water intake a couple of days prior to a show, is that standard water you are suggesting to drink lots of or distilled/purified water?


ps I am finding this and other threads very interesting and motivating.
