Also some bananas and sandwiches (most people can't seem to stomach them, but i do NOT want to feel hungry and feel fine eating proper food) Drinks wise - i buy 8 or 12 energy drinks but only have them if/when i feel like them, and about 12 electrolyte drinks. I normally end the day with about 4 of each of my drinks left over. Jaffa cakes also seem very good - simple carbs with little fat. The day before (i usually cut weight and weigh in the day before) i'll have something very heavy and carb based, but i'm used to it. Pasta carbonara, pizza, spaghetti bolognese etc. Maybe steak and chips. Have what you're used to - do NOT have something you don't normally have as you won't know how your stomach will feel the day after. Better to bring too much than not have enough.

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260 550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 10.03.2012 @ 21:24 PM by fong never been in a comp, but i'm gonna assume it's safe to say that milk or any dairy products are a big no-no yeah? i feel it coming back up mid workout even 2-3 hours after drinking it, i can't imagine it being that great for comp days either.

Sounds like a good shout, will save jelly cubes for later events, deadlift is first event which is unfortunate Keeping hydrated shouldn't be an issue lol, I always remember that one!
