6:30am weigh-in 202
Just about a one and a half pound drop from yesterday’s weigh-in.
My best friend (the mirror) looks better than it’s ever looked at 202 and being as flat as I am (no carb, no full muscle bellies)
My legs have lines I have never seen before, this tells me my leg training is paying off… can’t go anywhere in this sport with out legs.
I have 10 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes for today and tomorrow
5 pounds are in the oven set at 375. I’ll bake them for 1 hour, then let sit in the oven for another 15 minutes, they should be perfect.
I’ll divide the 5 pounds up as evenly as possible to go with my 6 protein meals every 2 ½ hours
5 pounds of potatoes equals just over 2000 calories plus another 1200 in protein will give me 3200 calories for today. Up from 1600 all week (zero carbs) except for Tuesday’s carb day at 2700 calories.
Now 3200 doesn’t seem like much, but after 3 days of zero carbs, 1600 cal days, my body should fill out nicely and by keeping my sodium in check (as low as possible), any water in my skin should get pulled into my muscles from the carbs.
As far as my water intake is concerned, I will most likely drink as I’m craving water and seeing I’ll be taking in a large amount of carbs, I will be craving water.
I’ll probably end up drinking anywhere from ½ to one gallon. I’m not too worried about the first day of carbing up and my water intake
Now on Sunday, I’ll stop drinking water around 6 o’clock PM. I want to make sure I don’t spill over (carb up to much)
The water intake believe it or not controls this. You can eat all the carbs you want, if you don’t feed yourself water, then the carbs don’t have anything to hold on to and fill your muscles up hard. But if you drink too much you will spill over and smooth out.
Think about a sponge that you squeezed all the water out of. As you slowly drip water on it, it gets bigger, but you can still see its crevices and craters, but as the water over fills the sponge, you stop seeing the crevices and craters and you see the water smooth out the sponge. Same thing happens to your muscles if you over drink you water
Also by stopping water at 6PM on Sunday (I’m sure I will still be thirsty) I’m hoping the carbs will pull all the water it wants from under my skin (since I have no sodium to hold it there) thus wrapping the skin even tighter as the muscles harden
When I wake up Monday morning, I’m being waking up as if it was Saturday Oct31 (competition day)
Don’t care what I’ll weigh, just want to be big, hard and ripped
Time for a protein drink
