Re: Doing my 1st show
What's your pre-contest diet look like? You working with a nutritionist? ( I would suggest it).Go easy on the cardio at first, let the diet and training work for you, increase cardio only if needed. Get everything you need as soon as possible to make sure your ready, posing trunks, choice of tanning dyes, read as much as you can. Are you going to carb deplete/carb or fat load? What about sodium loading/depleting, potassium loading etc...Are you going to use a diuretic (make sure you know what your doing here,guys have died from this) or like Paul Dillet locked up on stage and had to be carried off..so much goes into getting ready for a show, may just want to keep it simple the first time, and learn as you go, your also going to want to switch to distilled water a few days before, Fit and I may be able to help you here, I guess it depends on how serious you want to get. As I said may want to keep it simple and if you decide to keep doing it learn the more inner workings, sorry I wasn't trying to overwhelm you, but guys don't realize how much you have to do to 'peak' for that day. If I said anything you already know about I'm sorry, don't know how much you know about contest prep.sigpicComment

Re: Doing my 1st show
I kind of realized that after I posted..sorry, guys just don't realize how much goes into contest prep..I've stayed with guys at their house for the last few days before a show, to fine tune them as much as possible, it;s hard especially the first time. One guy (like Dorian) can eat a shit ton of carbs, when loading, other guys get too much and they spill over holding a film of water under their skin. If you've got Fit your in good hands, but if you ever have questions, you can hit me up as well..good luck and have fun! First time hitting that stage is a rush, the lights are so bright you can't see into the audience. Practice your posing and remember you won't have a mirror to go by onstage. I always went for the X let them come to me, I was the one to beat. Fit will understandOriginally posted by Fit Guru View Post
Also pick music that suits your posing style/routine, Metallica "wherever I may roam" was a favorite because of the slow intro, I would come onstage after the music began to roll, sorry showing my age and babbling again..sighLast edited by kazman68; 11-14-2012, 08:02 PM.sigpicComment

No Kaz I love what you have to say. Everything you say is on point. You know how it's done. Everyone has a "little " different approach but who's to say ones better than the other. I'm a little conservative on the last week. I even learned something new from trial and error. My approach didn't fail I just saw I needed to add a little more water the last 2 days than I was allowing. I'm sure that may change again one day too. Always learning .Comment

Re: Doing my 1st show
I'm with you on conservative, I would rather come in a little smaller, and ripped/dry, then bigger and bloated. LOL, I was watching one show and everyone was impressed with the shw, he was huge but smooth,( I said he won't win) the bantamweight won the overall! Gotta love it..Originally posted by Fit Guru View PostsigpicComment

Re: Doing my 1st show
I have 3 shows under my belt (1-2005, 2-2007) and plan on competing in July 2013. Everything said above is so true...and the posing is extremely important to start NOW!!! Practice your mandatories, if you can find someone who can coach you, and just give it 150%!!! You will either love it or hate it...obviously I love it, the reason for my absence for 5 years was due to my baby girl and just being daddy!!! Now she wants to see daddy on stage flexing his muscles
