thank you stu, hope your prep is going well. i’ll list a series of Q’s prep related you can answer them in the order which they are received (hehe)or entropy based if it’s more zany and fun that way, i’d prefer the former. links from others on this topic/q’s are cool too. i’ll go back and google or t-search to try and find answers. i apologize if you’ve answered this stuff a zillion times and also apologies for not combing through better, i’m busy and love things handed to me on a silver plater.
she is roughly the same # of weeks out, show second week of May. last yr the field of Female natural bb was pretty weak, not sure if you saw the female bb…there were like three, competetors 2 and 3 were pretty weak IMHO. additionally, posing from them was very lackluster, a caricature of posing so to speak…anyway, she is going to win this fucking show!!
it is her first show, she’s been training for a few yrs but over the past yr to six months really got her diet in check, as results came she decided to do the show. she’s not a fan of figure because of the pageantry, it sort of undermines the training, jelly heels, quarter turns, bling and hairspray. that said, natty bodybuilding is her thing because lets be honest freaky big ripped chicks are not very sexy. at 5’3" offseason she was in the 150’s but her diet was so so and she could have been leaner. currently she is about 127lbs and she’ll likely step on stage @117-120 best guess as her legs, hams, glutes will continue to come in along w/ the other details (i’ll add a few pics after the post).
NOT HIJACKING STU"S SHIT** actually if it is an issue please anyone reading PM me w/ comments/answers/ideas/links, can post here but would like Stu’s approval.
- color- she is bone white, see through white, ghost white. cannot base tan, she will be in the hospital. that said we are going to use jan tana via the advice of Pauline Nordin, she is following an outline of her diet as well w/ modifications.
when to start coating, how many coats…my guess based on other friends use is at least 8 coats!!! coat shower coat shower coat shower day three cut showers. a few face coats? coat then hairdryer? day of show no coat just touch ups, fresh coats cover details yes/no? sponge brush legs upward? and or rubber gloves use hands to pat on too?
she is very sensitive to foods/reactive GI…means to diminish bloat the day of the show? e.g. and additionally carb up when in relationship to going on stage, what about during the day of the show, first show i do not want her passing out/falling over but do what her to be at her best.
no cutting salt too early think it fucks up a lot of people and doesn’t allow for them to get rid of all the water, have heard ridiculous shit like cut all salt 1 month out. opinions?
black suit pre-judging to keep attention on muscles, color suit evening.
t-shits, baggy sweats, flip flops, legs up on wall to keep blood out of legs to hold details day of show. best thing to use to pump up? a band?
she is cycling carbs currently, bumping up a bit during day or days of the week depending on how she looks. she is a vegetarian who eats eggs so proteins are coming from whey, egg whites (tons), and Quorn a veggie patty which is a bacteria based protein w/ whey and egg. as the show gets nearer it will be hard to cut whey because of the variables previously mentioned but does it have to go?
Shit…that is it for now…thank you Stu and others. i’ll follow w/ a few pics if that’s alright. remember this is her first show and has only been seriously training a year! she’s an ass kicker though, md/phd, life long athlete, anything she decides to do, she does well.
