Hey, I met Mr. Scotsman tonight!

Best of luck at your comp; I hear you are quite the bruiser!

Y'all seem like "good stock."

(you'll have to ask him about that)




I'm voting for honey covered oatmeal the morning of, but this is B fold's thing...

Are you trying to make weight?

All week I eat as much as humanly possible and drink a liter of pedialyte every day. The day before I try to eat A LOT of carbs and very little sodium. The sodium will cause you to hold water which is a VERY bad thing if there is any type of grip event in the contest.

The morning of I always eat 2-3 large bowls of oatmeal covered in lots of honey, glass of OJ, and whatever else I can eat. I also chew on glucose tabs through the day...even when I do not feel down or hungry.

What are the events for that contest?

Cardio events...yuck.

Make sure you get the big breakfast in 2 hours before the contest starts...and start hitting the fruit, gatorade, pedialyte, and glucose from there. Nothing heavy too close to contest time.
