Dieting and Getting Ready for Bodybuilding Competition
Competition dieting is rather an individual matter as far as
success goes. Generally, if one is in a calorie deficit, while
maintaing a very high protein content and taking anabolics, that
person will lose minimal muscle if any at all while losing a
great deal of bodyfat. Add to that combo fat burning aids, and
one can achieve stage shape very quickly.
Below is a standard formula that I used succesfully on many
people. It is designed to make one in competition shape in
extreme time. The biggest change so far has been one person that
went from 21% to 4% bodyfat in the 9 weeks of the preparation.
DIET - Weeks 9 & 8
06.00 am training
08.00 12 egg whites, 1 apple, protein shake
10.00 100g rice, 1 apple, protein shake
12.00 red meat, salad (tomato, lettuce, cucumber), protein shake
with 10g flax seed oil
14.00 100g bread, 1 apple, protein shake
16.00 tuna or chicken or fish, protein shake
18.00 100g maltodextrin, 1 apple
18.30 pm training
20.30 chicken or turkey or fish, salad, protein shake
21.30 run (20 - 30) minutes
This diet is to be followed Monday to Saturday. On Sunday, as
many carbs as desired are allowed. Training is performed Mon to
Sat with Sun off. Running is performed every night.
This diet is the diet for the weeks 9 and 8, competition being
at end of week 1. The times on the diet are as an example and
they should be modified to suit ones needs. However, DO NOT miss
meals and DO NOT swap them around!!! The aim here is to only
have the amount of carbs outlined on the diet. Fat is
absolutelly minimal. Protein is at maximum. On this diet, you
should never feel hungry. If you do, eat more protein.
After 2 weeks of this diet, you will drop the maltodextrin carb
meal. Two weeks later, you will drop the bread carb meal. Two
weeks after that, you will drop the rice meal. That will leave
you 2 weeks on virtually no carbs. Don't worry, by then, the
body is used to using fat for energy, so you won't have any
problems. The hardest days will be the first week of your diet,
until you will get used to using fat for energy.
When you drop a carb meal, replace it with a protein meal.
On the weekends, you can have as many carbs as you wish, but
they have to be CLEAN carbs, so no McDonalds!
The last week, will be a full on carb week while you adjust your
water levels. I will detail that in another article.

This is the training set-up:
Bis, Tris Back Hams, Calves Chest Shoulders Quads Rest Mon Tue
Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Chest Shoulders Quads Bis, Tris Back Hams,
Calves Rest
This is a very intense program. It's designed to give maximum
fat loss in minimal time with no muscle loss. It is VERY time
consuming, but it's guaranteed to work and it's only for 9
weeks.
GEAR (steroids)
Use normal bulking gear until 4 weeks out (test, a-50, d-bol,
deca, etc). 4 weeks out switch the test to test propionate or
suspension. Drop the Deca/EQ, etc. Add primobolan, tren, winny,
etc. One week out, only use tren, masteron, suspension, primo
tabs, winny.
Use GH throughout - as much as you can afford. No insulin.
Use Arimidex or Nolvadex every day as desired. To keep your
testes at a normal size, either use HCG every 4th week (2,000IU
on Mon, Wed, Fri) or 50mg EOD of Clomid throughout the whole
thing. Don't use these for the last 4 weeks before the show
though.
Cutting compounds: Use a good ECA product like SyntheBURN twice
a day, every day. Use Clenbuterol at 80mcg/day for the first
week. Increase it to 160mcg/d for the second week. The third
week you add 25mcg/d T3. You add another 25mcg/d every week
following that, until you reach 150mcg/d. You stay on that until
the end of the diet. You stay on Clenbuterol thoughout as well.
Yes, you will be racing! But you will not loose any muscle, so
do not worry about that (as long as you take your protein in).
Last week do your diuretics program. That will be outlined in
another article. One hour before stage time use Synthelator. It
is the maddest vasodilator in the world. Within one hour of
administering it, you will have the absolute most insane
vascualrity you can imagine. The only place in the world that
you can get it from is http://www.synthetek.com
This program will get you in competition shape pronto while
keeping all your size on. If you appear to be losing muscle, eat
more protein!
