one week to go and I'm shredded

hardasnails1973 · 10-16-2003, 08:04 AM

With one week to go I'm sliced to the bone. I need alittle more refinement and fine tunning but that will come in a week from an hour posing a night to double sessions of cardio. I was 205 last night and FREAKY as shit. I just need to get my glute and hammie in and be fine and just dry out

J'Bo · 10-16-2003, 08:06 AM

natural guy you will see me in new york city if you goto eastern USAS I will be competing in the NJ Golds classic next saturday. !! When when j'bo saw me I wasn;t even carbed up yet I was on fiberous carbs for 5 days and was still pretty full. I carbed up last night and now next carb up will be next thursday night

hardasnails1973 · 10-16-2003, 09:20 AM

After these contest I'm going to start my OWN carb cycling that goes against the grain, but some of the same principles (don;t they always ) applies but does is so much easier to do and i think will give even more quality gains !! taking me to new levels of growth of quality and density hope fully to 230-235 at 6% bf and maintain. I have bounced my idea off of alot of knowledgeable people and they seem to intrique them..and it is so much simple and gives alot more freedom of to eat carbs (but good ones) with some guidelines in order to ensure they go where they are suppose to guy to minimize fat if any.

oaktownboy · 10-18-2003, 06:27 PM

no doubt..a shredded mutha..good luck bro

hardasnails1973 · 10-20-2003, 01:42 PM

right now I feel like a total lump of crap been nothing but fiberous carbs for 10 days with 2-2.5 times protein and 80-90 grams of fats (approximately 3,000 caloires) through fit day. I'm feeling really flat and have no energy to do nothing. I'm stopping cardio as of today and focus energy in to posing instead becuae that would benefit me more and improve my conditoining and maintain muscle mass. eating every 2 hours 45 grams protein with 2 cups greens and 12-15 grams EFAS up untill 5 pm then I cut all extra fat. it takes everything to drum up energy to workout and then pose for at night time. 5 days and counting. What I weight I could careless I ahven;t weighedmy self i go by the mirror ...

Tank316 · 10-20-2003, 01:45 PM

goodluck HAN.

Jenny · 10-20-2003, 11:40 PM

You sure loook freaky

Very impressive! Good luck han

bigbrownbear · 10-21-2003, 02:35 AM

Hang in there bro - your dedication and discipline will pay off, i know it will.

You are in the mid 190s??? Whadya do? Cut off a leg!?

naturalguy · 10-22-2003, 02:32 PM

Good luck. I did want to come see the show however I think I am going to be watching the Olympia Sat. night. You look awesome in those pics.

I would be very interested in your carb cycling program, that is if you are going to share it with us.

hardasnails1973 · 10-22-2003, 03:00 PM

tell me GOPRO Where do I go wrong all I had to do is drop my water and go, but for some reason my body takes off for some reason and it just drops weight and I'm not holding no more then 5-6 lbs of water ? I carb depelted really hard been at fiberous carbs for 10 days may be that was too long ? but my protein was high and very little cardio and then fat i take was adquete as well. Lesson learned i'm not dropping carbs to just fiberous metaboklsim is why to fast !! next week I will keep carbs in the 150 range and just deplete to 150 100 50 then carb up. hitting my carb should hopefully take me back to 200 or more becasuse I am loading water at 3-4 gallons a day ! but again those carbs may speed me up !!

J'Bo · 10-22-2003, 06:49 PM

good luck hun and enjoy the tatoes as i call them

dont forget to take lotsa pics

hardasnails1973 · 10-23-2003, 08:14 AM

after the carb load last night i weighted 204
3 cups dry oatmeal
20 oz yam
2 large bannaas

This morning I weight 195 if not lighter !! I was like WTF !!
I'm cutting my water to 2 gallons to day and then I'm going to to water for 2 hours later tonight to see if i need to keep it in longer then 6 pm tommorow. I think people make mistake of cutting water to soon and it ends up making them really flat looking, plus I will not be using any diretics becuae I don;t belive in them. this show is just to get kinks out so to speak. So what ever happens happens. I have 2 more week sto really dial in. One thing I have learned is that my body can not drop to low in carbs for 2 long becuae it causes me to loose too much muscle in the last 2-3 weeks with I feel that I loose too much muscle. CAloires right now are about 3600 a day last night they where 4,200 plus and i still dropped weight. Another piece of advice I found is to eat when you are hungry this every 2-3 hours stuff is bull shit. people need to learn to listen to their bodies and then results will be alot better. also found out if you train heavy 5-6 reps during contest is great but one has to do cardio to burn the fat and to get into conditoining. This no cardio approach will work only if you super set or have a job where you are phyiscally active.. Caloires need to be adjusted according to daily activity. Again I have to weeks to recovery to come in even biger and fuller and drier at the easterns. I have an idea i will be pretty hard but may be flat at this show but next time i will keep carbs higher and just ride it into the show and just drop water next time and be alot better off. I'd rather do more cardio and eat more then starve my self !! AS people have been telling me ans prince preacches "feed the muscle and use cardio to burn the fat " and i highly believe in this !!

J'Bo · 10-27-2003, 05:15 PM

funny how you dont believe in diuretics now but you had me taking them for 4 weeks last comp

hardasnails1973 · 10-28-2003, 08:25 AM

Women tend to hold alot more water personally if you are going to go pro i would have you do nolvadex last 2 to 3 weeks to helpw ith water retention..
