@ gopro and other naturals:Contest prep

[Thorus]

Hi @ All,

sorry that I was not here for a long time !!!

I have a question!

My first contest is at Nov, 3th .....my second contest is at Nov, 9th.......and if I´m good enough(I hope so) I start at the Nationals at Nov, 16th!!

My diet is ketogenic.....and Im 100% natural

The last weekend I noticed that I´m too fat....I think I have to lose about 5 to 8 pounds to be in topshape. I don´t know it exactly....it´s my goal to get as ripped as possible.....I know its a lot, because I have less time.....but I also know that I can reach this!!
The last 8 weeks I was on 1800 calories.....since Monday I eat 1300 calories...most is protein, which works well for me!!!

Are 1300 calories too less ? I don´t want to lose muscles

I train heavy duty style......three times a week about half an hour.....my aerobis are five times a week for 30 minutes. And I do a lot of posing too to get hard (its very intense aerobics!)!!

What else can I do to lose the rest of my fat??What about IV-Training? What are your opinions ???

I hope you can help me !!!

Greets,

Hell yes!

Dude....there's nothing really you can do at this point if you're not ready.....1300 calories is only going a) make you lose muscle and b) make you very sick assuming you continue training.

I would suggest continuing w/ your training and diet as it has been, don't know your stats, but 1300 is too low....remember, you will drop water in your final week too...which will give the appearance of being leaner than you are.

Do you include carb-ups in your diet at all?

I agree with W8. You can MAYBE drop 2-3 pounds of fat. But the last week of each of my shows I dropped 7-8 pounds just from water alone.

Hi,

here is a link, which shows me from the last weekend http://www.ifbb.ch/galerie/sm2002/70.jpg

I´m the left one...

I think it´s the only way to lose my fat.......if I lose a little bit of muscles it doesn´t matter....prioroty is to get definition...

Since Monday, where I reduced my calories......I see results....I´m not hungry and my strength is now okay.....and the most important thing for me is to lose my fat.....because I compete in the fitnessclass and there definition is much more important than mass !!!!

Hope for other tipps !!!

My tip:

RE-FEED

1300 cals daily is too low...you will begin to lose muscle tissue. I'd rather you keep your calories up and increase your activity level. I would add a little to the cardio...either days or time per session.

Also remember that you can drop alot of weight from water in the final week.

To make more specific recommendations I would need to see current pics.
