hey guys, I’m an 18 year old bodybuilder and have a competition this saturday, July 10 and have been going through my depletion workouts so that my carb load is effective on friday/saturday morning. I’ve done chest and tris, legs, and will be doing back and bi’s tomorrow. However, wasn’t too sure about friday, before I start carbing back up. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Um… anyone seen Stu? He’s prolly the only one here qualified to give this a real answer.
Stu?
Anyone seen him?
i think Stu might be on vacation in Las Vegas. Or that already happened. Or that is yet to happen.
Pose this question in CT’s forum.
^THIS, since Stu’s not available.
CT’s Shredded in 6 Days plan calls for training the muscle group you want to emphasize the most on Friday morning, de-emphasizing the negative. 12-15 fairly fast reps for 10-12 sets.
ok, that should work, CT even said he didn’t wanna directly tell me what to do since he hasn’t worked with me but that conceptin his 6 day plan seems to be what I was looking for. Thanks.
What show u doing?
I’ve competed in the past. Complete your last leg day early to middle of the week, not on Thursday or Friday prior to the show.
On Friday, you can do some light cardio but that’s it. All your preparation is done.
Good luck

Ooh, sorry, wish I caught this thread earlier! (was in Vegas, but then got stuck out on Long Island the rest of this week, so didn’t have many chances to pop online).
Thibs explains the muscle-priority workout while carbing up really well in his ‘6 days’ article. The point of trying to avoid the negative ROM as much as you can(which is contrary to the way most people typically train), is because of the muscle damage that occurs during that portion of the movements (usually a good thing as stimulating muscle growth). Damaged muscle tissue isn’t optimal for glycogen uptake (or supercompensation in this case).

How’d you do, obe?
Friend of Obe’s here. He did awesome, I couldn’t go but got a text from him. He had an upsetting 3rd in Teen division due to politics (i’ll let him get into that if he wants) he got first in Men’s Middle Weight and 3rd Overall.

That awesome! It’s hard to figure how he could have only placed third in Teen with a first in middleweight, but with a finish like that, I doubt he’s all that upset about it.
Yea, Paul pretty much gave you guys the run down. I have no idea wtf the judges were smoking, considering everyone in the audience showed they didnt agree at all with the teen class (plenty of other classes too actually).
They called the first 2 kids and they got fitting applause and cheers, but when they called me in third it was like “wtf is this” delayed, half-hearted applause, and the same for the guys after me. Then no one said a word backstage and my parents heard people saying I should have won, hell, I had ppl telling me that day I had the teen class won.
But hey, when you’re from the area, know the promotor, and are related to a promotor who was friends with this shows promotor, good things can happen i guess =P. But the men’s placing made me feel better, and realize how big of a crap call the teen class was.
1st in my men’s open class and 3rd overall, but 3rd in teen, where i outweighed the kid who “won” by 30 lbs (and I was conditioned better)…hmmm, something seems off lol. While those 2 were leaving and going home, I was still on stage posing down for the overall.
So all in all I was happy with the show and the improvements I made. Thanks for the interest and replies on the threads guys. Those few last second tweaks clearly helped in some way.
But now I’m looking for another show in the general area around philly, like jersey, delaware, pennsylvania, but not as far as pittsburgh since the one NGA show on August 28 apparently got cancelled.
So if any of you guys know of any natural shows going on in my area in like August or early September please be kind enough to let me know some basic info. Thanks a lot for the help, support, and interest.
Any pics man??
Yeah, obe, pic with the trophies or that shit didn’t happen!
I’m uploading the pics today. No pics with my trophies but i’ll upload pics of the trophies themselves and a few shots of me. Trust me, my dad is the worst with pictures at anything, from my shows to family events.
Looking forward to the pics
