Beard_Of_Iron said: whilst i would agree fatty meats, full fat mil etc are all great surely truck loads of trans fats arent benefiting the powerlifter/strongman? the trans fats in dairy and meat products are naturally occurring (CLA) and as such not dangerous (in fact they're good for you). mate I refered to high fat diary as apositive I was meaning all the take away grub and processed sugary/fatty treats | |||

richards9876 said: JC said: too many of you eat like BB's IMO. You are PLs and Strongmen Richards - is that honestly what you would like to have before bed, cottage cheese? What about chocolate biscuits, chocolate bars, full fat choc milk, massive bowls of sugary cereal? f**k cottage cheese as my last "nice" snack of the day!! Doesnt bother me too much - i tend to pig out at a weekend so during the week i just eat like this. Its not as strict as that everyday and it does vary depending on what foods i fancy though. surely as long as the calories are right a cleaner diet would be more beneficial long term due to the extra nutrients? whilst i would agree fatty meats, full fat mil etc are all great surely truck loads of trans fats arent benefiting the powerlifter/strongman? | |||

Pete said: Hi Glen, There are some things that you "expect" at a comp and others that are are a "bonus". Competitor wise I think that some kind of shaded area/gazebo is just about essential at a summer comp. Things like chairs are also great but I normally take my own anyway. Drinks are into bonus territory. I'm sure that most/all of the guys take their own anyway. Snacks(carb bars etc.) are a very nice bonus too. You get into real bonus territory when you get goody bags. Competitors at the Unit 20 comp ( a couple of years ago got a couple of t-shirts, creatine and some APT wrist wraps in their goody backs - regardless of position.I believe Sugden's Strongest Man had a great bag of goodies for the athletes too. A t-shirt, to remember the occasion, is always nice. It probably falls somewhere between "expect" and "bonus" territory. Just my £0.02 cheers pete - t-shirt, drinks ect where a given - at present I am trying to sort out more stuff within the goody bags and seeing whether we can get either free or heavily discoutned meals for all the competitors as well as a few extras we will see | |||
