I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5 500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq	Get to comp, weigh in then I eat cereal bars and drink powerade, usually 2-3 bottles and about 6-8 decent sized cereal bars. Some people eat cake, choccy bars or sweets but I am not a fan of choccy bars etc. I try and not eat within about an hour of the warmup. About 30mins before caffeine tabs and sip water.

At the BDFPA British there was a chippy opposite, F&C went down a treat.

Do hugs, not drugs. Member 136, 712 posts SQ 380, BP 242.5, DL 330 952.5 kgs @ 110kgs Eq	Firstly, join a Fed with a generous 24 or 48 hour weigh in. Then eat like a pig for the next two days. I weighed in after needing to lose 3 kilo's in the sauna, and didn't stop eating and drinking from then until the comp. I weighed 109.5kgs on the entrants sheet and re-weighed myself on the comp sclaes at 115kgs on the day. Night before a comp I always have a big Chinese with two or three cans of Guinness. Breakfast before a comp needs complex carbs - porridge and fats, bacon and eggs, fried bread, mushrooms, lots of strong coffeee, OJ, etc. Keep drinking isotonic or just water until you are pissing freely and regularly - you will then be fully hydrated. Have a few bananas handy to eat during the day, bit of flap jack as well perhaps. This is what I do and I always feel tip-top on comp days.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	I had a few cashews on waking, peanut butter and jam sandwiches for breakfast post-weighin, and a couple of cake bars during the comp plus carb drinks. I wanted to minimise the amount of s**tting necessary, which actually worked pretty well.

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	I found Jaffa cales pretty good last time I competed.
