2 weeks till first show... do I drop out?? Help!

[Black_Mustang]

Here's the thing, first I'll cry a bit, pull out the violins.

It's my first show. I ordered my pre-contest cycle like 3 months ago from that fuck'n bastard coolhand. Didn't know he want scammer. Obviously, I got nothing. Coolhand take my fuck'n $3000 and buy a new soccer team, you guys suck. (no offence intended to anyone else)You ruined my life you ass! I had 3 TV appearances to make you fuck! It was priceless to me and you took it away for 3grand.

ok anyway enough crying. Its not a 100% BB show. More like a GQ show. Some guys will probably really be natural. Right now I'm like 5'8, 195pds 10-11% bf down from 220 in the winter.

Now I'm considering going natural cause I really wanna go, what do you think can be accomplished in two weeks? Should I even bother? I'm getting fina this saturday. Im a First time finer, you experience fina guys think it will do anything in two weeks? 100mg/ed ?? I'm depressed. I dont wanna be a quitter! thats not my style.

Help!! any and all feedback valued!

10-11% bodyfat - you can't blame that on not having juice. Sounds to me like you need to get your diet in line.

IMO - I would never step up in the spot light with that much bodyfat.

Good luck

Well, teh best you can probably hope for in two weeks is to be down to about 8%. What are the bf requirements for the show? You have to be realistic and if it is like a BB show then I would choose a later show. Sorry about your loss bro.

 

[jc21]

well first of all i am very sorry that you got scammed.

second i dont think you are gonna be ready for the show....the minimum preperation time should be 8 weeks. i know you dont want to go into this show looking bad. just go for the next one.

You must start doing 2 a days everyday,40mins cardio a.m. 40mins cardio p.m.,Diet should be very,very low fat,low carb,high protein,do the fina@ 100mgs every day up to the show it can help if you have 14 days,it is fast acting.Your training should be high reps and alot of ab work.GOOD LUCK AND BE POSITIVE!!

 

[Black_Mustang]

Thank you all for your feedback! Hockey1, you've inspired me, that's what I was hoping to hear. I know all the rest of you are being realistic, and very likely correct. What I've done is emailed the co-ordinator of the show, "somewhat" explained the situation and basically asked how long before the show can I drop out. If he allows up to the day before or so, I'm gonna do what Hockey1 suggests and hope everything works out. If not, I'll quit at the last minute, atleast I tried. I'll post his reply to my email when I get it.


P.s. fuck you coolhand.

p.s.s. Did I mention, fuck you coolhand?

Sit this one out bro. Get everything together, get the diet in check, then set a date 8-10 weeks out min.

I like the advice except the part about high reps.

I would keep the reps low on the first few sets to stimulate those fast twitch fibers...BUT keep the rest to a minimum.

90-120 seconds between sets.

LOW CARBS.... except post workout.

DRINK at least a gallon of water per day.

Could you explain what kind of contest this is?

Good Luck

Strong Island, type of show, its kinda like say umh a women's beauty pagent for guys. You speak, you're interviewed, you wear different outfits etc. So its not all about the body. Its more like all around best guy type of thing. It's never based soley on size. Infact, huge ripped guys always seem to lose. Its the small gq look they want if anything. But importantly than winning, I wanted to go up there and look wickedly sick. So I don't have to be totally water depleted etc. Although, in the past, alot of guys go to that extreme, probably as practice for a real show. Which is what I originally wanted to do.

 

[strong island]

Maybe you should keep the fina to 75mg ED...that shit can make you very vascular. I don't know if you want that.

I am taking 75 mg ED and I am starting to look like a freak with veins popping out all over the place.

 

[Black_Mustang]

strong island, you think fina has the ability to make me too vascular in two weeks from 10-11% ? How long have you been on it? whats your progress, start->current and after two weeks?

 

[strong island]

Actually I wouldn't worry too much. Two weeks is not that long.

It is mostly an individual thing. I am naturally vascular and my bf is around 6%.

Fina seems to be thermogenic too.

Are you taking any ephedrine/caffeine products. If not I would run and ECA stack for two weeks straight.

You basically want to turn yourself into a fat burning machine for the next 14 days.

 

[Black_Mustang]

I'm taking 2 xenadrine in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I heard back, they're giving me until the very last day to drop out. I'm going mental for the next two weeks. Gonna use Bulldog's competition diet that he posted a while ago!

So I know you said its an individual thing but what happens to you after running fina two weeks ed?

i retract my statement from above....i dont know anything about that kind of show. so i have no clue if you have enough time to get ready.

Bump this, however, if you're going to do this I would like to add:

1) A keto diet, but be sure to carb up once this week and give yourself two days before the show....supplement with ALA for your carb meals and definitely on your 'carb up' days.
2) Adipo OR Clen as they would work better than an ECA when you're on a low carb/ no carb diet.
3)Yohimburn OR Lipoderm 2x per day for 12 days....this should allow a couple of days for the subcutaneous water to dissipate. Preparation H Gel applied to those areas several times a day will also speed up this process. Definitely use the Prep-H before the "show".

That should help quite a bit! Good Luck!

can you get dnp, t-3, tren, somekind of mild diahretic?

 

[Black_Mustang]

Guys, I went to a pre-contest meeting and not for nothing but the guys dont look that crazy. Remember its not a bb competition. Mostly its like 150 pound guys that are super really ripped (they look good) 2-3 juiced up guys that look alright (not so lean) and couple of guys that don't even look like they work out (naturally fat). So I could go the way I am and still fit in, not that I'd want to and not that I will. If I dont drop down good in the next two weeks, I'll stay home. I was estimating my bf, I'm thinking I could be less, I see 4 abs if that helps, 6 if I flex.

I'll keep ya posted. thanks all for the advice, comments and motivation. I'm using all the suggestions.
