Lately, about 200g protein daily (set portions of chicken, lean beef and white fish) and only about 35g carbs on first meal. 2 gal H2O daily. Nothing else. No supplements - None.
Today FINALLY I get to start carbs. 30g rice every 2 hours. HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH. I can't tell you how happy I am about that. I can hardly get out of my chair sometimes without blacking out. Its incredible how weak you can get prior to a show. I knew it was bad, but not this bad. I have more respect for those true BBrs who do this ALL OUT, perfect prep. It tests the psyche and certainly separates the men from the wannabes.
From here on out, anyone (I mean anyone!!) who tells me he's a amateur bodybuilder is ABSOLUTELY NOT unless you've done this final dialing in step - and I mean hardcore diet, cardio, etc down to 5% bf. Until then, you are only a weight lifter or hard gainer, not a bodybuilder. Period!!! After 16 years of thinking I was a BBr from constant strict lifting and dieting, I certainly was not. I was just a serious lifter. But not anymore.
Not trying to incite folks here with that last comment, but this experience has completely redefined my opinions on what a Bodybuilder truly is. JMHO.
Cheers.
