How do the Pro's get Silly-ripped?

[Drveejay11]

I can get down to about 7-7.5 % with perfect dieting, cardio, the right gear and mega-discipline.....BUT:

How in the hell do the Pro's get down to 3% ???

This seems so fricken ridiculously unachievable for me!

Lasix/Aldosterone
T-3
0 carbs/0 fat (all protein)
water
(I'm sure they don't use dnp----do they???)
Thiomucase just before the show (although this is cosmetis only)

What else?????????????

A lot of pro's (so Ive read at many places) actually use DNP. If you seem them in the off season and a few weeks up until the contest it seems they must use DNP.

Great genetics
Tons of gear
DNP
Clen
T3
amphetamines in some cases
diet
cardio
more DNP

 

[Capricorn_Mike]

Extremely insane diets!!!!
T3
DNP
Pgf2
GH
IGF-1



Thats my guess. And Im sure they use all of the above at far greater amounts than you or I.

Man.....you bro's really think they do DNP??? I don't know......

 

[YellowJacket]

I believe it, look at them just a few weeks out most of them are still ballooned up...theres not much else besides DNP that cant knock off that much weight that quickly...

 

[Drveejay11]

Yeah......you got a point, I just have a prob with seeing these guys doing that shit....not sure why.....I just do.

My friend did a show at 3% bf and he said he would never do it again. He said he was always cold, shakes, and just felt like shit. Being at 7% is very very good.

So....how did he get thet low....shed some light here.

3% is not healthy man, so other than competition I'd forget it. Unless you were born a SLB, I'd stick to 7-8% as an achievable, and probably healthy goal to shoot for. I will be happy with 8-10%.

I hear you on the 3% being VERY unhealthy! I just was wandering how they did it----that's all.

Don't forget the dangerous diuretics that give them that "dry" look.

 

[YellowJacket]

Yea, 3% is very unhealthy, I hope no one here is shooting for that and even those guys are only right around 3 or 4% for a matter of days, if not hours.

 

[Drveejay11]

Yep..dat true

 

[nekrawulf]

I know what I do to get silly ripped for the regular season.

First I up my cardio to around 20 hours a week. And Im not talking normal cardio. I mean extensive, painstaking cardio. Then I up my sleep to around 8-10 hours a night. Before I go to bed I take a slow digestible protien blend and 1-2 doses of GHB.....out like a light and burning fat =-]

My diet is a standard cutting diet...i.e cut carbs to a bre minimm as to keep up with the higher demands due to extra cardio.

I have found that doing this I can melt away my bodyfat and still maintain size. Unfortunately as I progress throughout the season I must restore use of anabolics...Primarily EQ because I tend to not get suffieient rest and I go catobolic. But This does work for me.

During the season(4-5 moinths) I maintain 2.5-4 % BF All while maintaining a highly strenuous cardio vascular environment with minimal water intake. Unhealthy? Possibly....Neccesary? Definately!

Cold.......yes (less warm fluffy fat around you)

Shakes....yes (Im a hypo and dieting makes you even more hypo)

Feel like shit......no ( no more than usual)

Its all relative to giving your body what it needs while manipulating it to achive what you want.

 

[Drveejay11]

Damn bro! Stats?????

 

[Mudge]

Ok, I've said this in several threads, but there is a lawyer with a series of books on how he got down to 2 and something like 3/4% bodyfat. His name is Clarence Bass, so I imagine a search engine or Amazon would find these books.
