I have reached 160pds on the scale !! Ok....so I am thinking.... should I just go ahead and aim toward 180 or so.....and compete in the big girl category?? :D

Holy cow..... 160 just blows my friggin mind ..... gonna have to be some major cutting going on shortly....bump up the thread again Spatts :rolleyes: hee hee
 
One comp I am looking at, for womens open division, says heavyweight-over 122pds..... :D Think I am too heavy?? hee hee
 
Are you done cutting and within 2 days of comp?

I dropped close to 7 lbs of water in 1 week. Cutting will get you down to weights you never thought you'd see again .... at least not since I was 12 ... LMFAO!

I know a guy who is 260 right now and competing in April -- he wants to get down to 210??

Heavyweight at 122 pounds? Goodness, I'm 135# at 5'4" and think I'm puny! ;)

Sassy, I'm curious about that... how did you not get dehydrated (cuz can't that be fatal)?

No sassy...not in a cutting phase for another month or so....just bulking and growing baby :D I thought I would get up to 180 or so......then cut down to 160 :D Hee hee......
 
Havent had the b/f done in about 4 months or so....was 14% way back when. I know......once the b/f comes off, hey, I will be able to see some major definition :)

Like I said, I am still putting on some muscle....all good things come in time :) Will get my b/f tested soon though, just for shits and giggles :D
 
I'm pretty sure heavy weight is 135. 122 - hell I couldn't get into that category if I chopped off both legs.

This is ONLY during the week before a comp and comp day. The point is get all the subcutaneous water out of your system so you look tight & defined. Most people start water depleting 2-3 days before - cut from like 2 gal of water to 1 gal to 1/2 gal to sips. I also used sodium loading for a few days I think at the beginning of the week and then cut that out too.

Was I dried out -- you bet. Every one of my pix from my first comp shows me literally chewing the insides of my mouth because it was so dry. Honestly the last 2 days of water depletion gave me a real good feel for what its like to ration water. I.e. I had a 1/2 liter bottle of water to last me all day - every sip I took reminded me that I only had so much left. Talk about stress. (Oh yea, it was also the middle of August in S. Florida and required a 4 hr drive to get to the competition while wearing long pants & sleeves to avoid getting ProTan all over my car... oh the horror stories I could tell....) Chewing gum was the only saving grace -- except that I was so dry I would literally suck all the moisture out of the gum so there was nothing left but a lump of mushy nutrasweet or whatever they put in sugarless gum. Ick.

Of course dehydration is a bad thing, but I think most bb's have problems w/ maintaining electrolyte balance - you hear about competitors passing out on stage - usually due to heavy diuretic use - you dump water and everything else too.
 
122 must be the middleweight cutoff. 134 and above is heavyweight except in the pros where 140 and above is usually heavyweight.

Dehydrating went out with the dinosaurs.

Many keep their water up so they look full the day of show. Get the fat off and you won't have to worry about water.

BEEEEEEFCAKE! BEEFCAKE! (In your fav Cartman voice!)

Regarding water depletion pre contest -- any experienced BB's here still do this? Two diff trainers (1 a 15 year bb veteran, another a couple years out of college w/ an Exercise Science degree, a husband who competes naturally and currently trains at a local Golds) had me do this for 2 diff comps)

W6 -- if you have the time & patience to bear w/ the big question (or can give the discount version to the viewing audience), what do you recommend for that big last week pre comp?

I"m still getting differing info on whether or not to use distilled or regular water for pre comp....
 
taco hell.... :sick:

Between my morning and night shows my trainer told me to go get 2 McDonalds hamburgers & fries -- i had to CHOKE those things down after eating strictly clean for 16 weeks.
 
The divisions are:
LW: 118 and under
MW: 119-131
HW: 132 and above

Whats your bf at right now Ann? I'm about 158 right now but I'll compete as a middle this year just on the heavier end this time! wooohoooo!

Hi IQ....going to try and get my b/f done this week....if I can remember :)

Lowest I want to get to is 135....if that. I feel small at 140.....

How tall are you IQ? I'm 5'9.

This one comp I was looking at said HW for women's open--over 122. Lightweight under 122.......?
 
Hey Ann.
Thats weird weight rules. Is it NPC?? You'd probably do great if you came in at 135 or so. I know what you mean about feeling small at that weight. When I competed last year I felt soooo small but when I saw my pics I looked good lol. Its all a mental game and really an illusion ya know?

I'm 5'4 by the way. :)

--Iron Queen
 
As you know IQ, I am new to it all. The form says....INBF All-Natural Mississippi Open.....

I have not committed to any yet....waiting on calendar with a schedule for my state. Anyway...I thought those weights were a little off myself.
 
I wouldn't focus on weight at all..the numbers mean nothing..put on some size and when you begin to cut get as lean as you can...you will find out what weight class you are in the day you weigh in..at 5'9 you will more than likely be in the heavy weight class...that is a tall frame and to be under 135 is pushing it big time!!!
