 My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | well ive done four comps and tried slightly different approaches each time, but this one has worked best for me... not changing anything training wise... going heavy right up until 2 days before.... eating the same but adding extra carbs 3-2 days out.... then on the day smashing red bull, jelly babies, jaffa cakes etc... although i did over do this once and the come down from sugar was awful i literally had to lie on the floor | ||

 a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | siovrhyl said:5 days rest before, up the carbs 2 days out lots of water the day b4 and on comp day i have a huge bowl of porridge in the morning a macys breakfast on the way then jaffa cakes an red bull throughout the day. Would agree with most of this except the red bull bit as I have found that to much caffeen has a negative effect. But having a couple of bananas abd jelly babies handy with a couple bottle if powerade and water will be better from my experience. | ||
