Do to the fact that I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to milk products. I was wondering if I should drop my shakes. I'm taking one post workout consisting of 2 scoop muscle provider from beverly and 1 scoop all the whey protein. I'm on a low carb diet with a 3-4 days spike meal. I just want to leave no stone unturned because I want to come in totally bone dry and shredded. I'm 210 right now at 4-4.5% very little fat and just holding some water. Chrsitmas tree is in as well as partially straited glutes. Just want to see what competitors views on this topic. Old school says to drop it, but alot of competitors keep them in. What would be the best in my case scenerio.
Thanks

well I guess i could be a old schooler, I say drop it 2 weeks out and replace with egg whites or fish, In my opinion. Go with what worked in the past for ya, good luck I could never do what you do!!

I think you need the protein to keep from loosing muscle. Mix it in water!

I would suggest contacing Beverly to see what they suggest.
If you are 4.5% at 5 weeks out you definitely want to keep protein intake up to hold onto muscle.
Another option may be to take 25-30 Beverly muscle mass bcaa's during training. This may eliminate the need for the pw shake.

I have heard of many dropping it at about 2 weeks out but not at the 4 or 5 week mark. IMO fresh boiled chicken breast or fish would be abetter substitue than eggs or egg whites due to their high sodium content.

It looks like you are already using the Bev approach. If so , excellent choice.

O c'mon Hardasnails, you are a freak and you know it. You can probably get ripped by eating cake! But seriously, I feel that you are so far ahead of the game that you can keep shakes in to about 2 weeks out and still be in the best shape of your life!

I added in Mass Aminos 25 during workout to help with nitrogen retention. 2-3 weeks i'm going to start blasting 1 bottle of a week Muscularity. Jeremiah told me if i use muscle provider I would be fine but i don't want to take any chances. I'm using 16 tabs synergy a day and dropped my glutemine becuase of possible chance of it converting to sugar (never knew that)
4 mass/4 liver per meal
8 syngery morning
8 synergy before cardio or 1/2 hour before weight training
6 TBSP EFAS 1/2 hemp oil and 1/2 totalEFAS
digestive enzymes
EC stack 3 times a day with 1000 mgs l-carntine
muscle provider/allthewhey protein
ALL SUGAR HAS BEEN CUT
at 3,000 -3100 caloires a day
cardio 2 times a week (may add a 3rd) caloire expenditure about 300-350 caloires (75% or greater HR)
posing 30 minutes a night
strength phenomial - setting personal records in all lifts
incline 405 for a double other night for hell of it
just holding a little water. and really flat but skin is tighter and intercostals are really coming through. Posing last night caused me to get harder so i did not do cardio in am becuase it would have been counter productive. If i loose I will lose on symmetry not conditoining I vow that. I should have fully straited glutes this year with alot more density then last year and all around better shape. My waist is same size last year at contest time now and I'm 10 -12 lbs heavier so I guess i made progress and i'm still not done yet LOL. I'm hoping i can get wait to 28 inches I'm at a 32-34 belt with extra holes in it LOL and i got a good 1.5 inches i can still pull around my waist

will keep shakes to just post workout on workout days, preworkout will be repalced with tuna and egg whites, 1 TBSP Hemp oil, apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of spinach uncooked

Jeremiah is who I work with as well. He's a contest prep guru. Good luck.
