PopTarts: Are you fucking serious?
I was talking to a guy in my gym today and we were talking about shows. I was telling him about my show next weekend and he was talking about one in November he's doing (mine's drug tested, his isn't). Anyway, we were talking about carb-up and he said he eats a box of Poptarts within the half-hour of getting on stage... is he pulling my fucking chain? I've never heard of it. This guy has won three of the five shows he has entered, so I'm guessing he's doing something right--but I don't know that this is one?

what do you eat?
probably some sort of fast carb and maybe a little fat (rice cakes and peanut butter anyone?). Who cares what sort of carb source he uses. When I dieted sometimes I would pound down pop tarts on my carb ups. At my first contest I was eating frosted flakes and honey...... ...sugar is sugar. Just get it in you. |

Definitly messin with ya. Kinda like the guy having a beer sitting in the corner of the gym so that he can chug it directly after a workout because it helps with recovery.

If Poptarts work, I'd love to use them, too! I just had never heard it before and it seemed crazy. So you really think 30 minutes before is a good poptart time, eh?

I probably wouldn't eat the whole box. I don't know how many carbs you need or how many you would responds too. This is stuff you are supposed to try out for yourself to see how much works best for you...depending on how depleted you are, how much you need to fill up, etc...

I saw people eating donuts and chocolate at my competition. Doesn't matter, sugar is sugar. Personally I enjoyed my PBJ on white bread instead

Ok am I missing something? Why exactly are people eating sugar filled foods before a contest? Will they tire on stage without it?

She must have been fat before that. Nothing you eat in the hours before a show is going to make you fat. I'm also not sure how that much sugar would make her look flat, either.

its only temporary when you have turned your BF low (under 5%) and pulled water....simple carbs (nothing but sugar for me) works for a vascular dialator.
its only a window (a peak) though....its very hard to time perfectly and only experienced bodybuilders have it down to a T. i'm sure I missed mine, but it got the job done. Lee Priest and Ronnie are VERY good at hitting their peak, even though I don't like either of them. Their transformation from offseason to stage time is incredible...even though it TORTURE on their body. |

I eat whatever I want the day of the show. As long as you don't drink any water you should fill out. Sugar is Sugar ALL CARBS CONVERT INTO GLUCOSE some faster than others. The day of I like to have a blueberry muffin and 2 or 3 hours later depending upon how I look I have either a slice of pie or a roast beef sandwich. All depends on whats going on in the mirror, (yes drug tested show)
