Mental and Texas' Wired BBing Show

I am still IN! I am a little bigger than in my avi . . . that was in the summer. Since then I have put on a bit more mass.

I cannot wait to post pics and then celebrate with my first pizza/beer in 2 months!

CHEERS
 
If that is you in your avatar, I wouldn't call it garbage.

It is but that was a few months ago. I havent lifted in a week. I am going to the Dr.tomorrow.
My "#2" is not solid nor has been for 4 days, i have zero appetite and have to force feed myself. I only eat about every 8 hours. so once, maybe 2x a day.
I feel weak.
ALmost threw up and passed today so i left my 1st class early
You know when you eat spicey food and your stomach is bubbley a little while after mine is like that 90% of the day. And feels hollow about 15min after eating but then bloated.

The only benefits i have so far is lost weight, alot of water.

This was some of the worst timing ever. BUT i will post pics and after this passes ill be tryin to stay lean since i lost everything anyway.

Goodluck everyone.
 
I havent seen holyintellect or mass_69 in a while
I'm still here. I've only been posting a few times a week over the last few months. I've been trying to cut down my time on the Internet along with being occupied with many other things.

This is the first I've heard of a care package for the judges? :fest06:

I could care either way, I'd do it for free.
 
Im still in coming in holding alot of extra weight, but with my height I might get away with it..lol Also, im new to this hole pose down thing soif someone could be cool and pm me about how to do poses to get best effects I would appreciate it other wise im gonna have to do them "off the cuff" and that might not work out so well..

Best way is to do a search, I found some good sites with video too.

The site was supe helpful thanks...One more question: While doing the individual poses do we take the picture of specific area being judged or like the whole body while doing said pose?

I did full body pose, I am sure they can zoom in pics.

Or would it be advisable to also zoom/crop for more detail in addition to the full body? Check my sig link and there are my practice poses . . . first timer so dont feel inadequate in your poses. It takes time to practice . . . and it is tiring to flex the whole body at the same time. def do some practice shots and critique them.

:bb2:

yeah, I'm taking practice pics this weekend... :)
:dunno: well, I took some pics today practicing poses... and I think I definitely needed to practice! we're really just a week out today. :fing02:
anyways, keep prepping for the comp! It will be good to see the results!
 
i have been in on a liquid diet and have not been able to hold anything down the past week because of some intenstinal issues and severe dehydration. I had to go to the doctor yesterday for some IV's and im down 10 Lbs just this week.

Ditto brother! That was me just last week. I will have to be in the 175lbs and under now. I lost 18lbs in 6 days!

If it's a problem to divy up things......just keep me in the 175-205class
 
what the f*ck is going on with all competitors here? overdose/overload of supplements catching up to everyone?

.. or are these 'issues' an attempted diet/contest prep? or an excuse not to go through with this?


.. alright, i'm doing it 100% for sure now. Apart from an inconsistent day-to-day schedule due to two jobs and class, I don't have a sickness to blame atm. Got a minor cold, but that comes with this $hit texas weather, where one night it's 80 degrees, only to wake up to 35 degrees the next morning.

I just PMed Mental a little bit ago. I had bloodwork done and my mineral/electrolyte profile is all f*ed up. I thought it was bad anxiety coming back, but I have hyponatremia. I had a mild seizure a few days ago and I've been feeling like I could have one any moment for a while. I have always watched my sodium intake, but there's a good reason we have salt.

I've been keeping potassium too high (along with Poseidon which has a lot of potassium) and it drained my sodium, calcium, and magnesium levels too low. This along with my 2 gallons of water everyday left me feeling really off. If I didn't catch it (along with my physician), it could've been potentially fatal.

Similar to what I have with my electrolyte levels. I am on an all liquid HIGH Sodium diet till further notice. I still plan to go through with this for the fun...but its been a hectic first week of the new semester not being through any of my classes. I am on ondansetron so that I can hold down anything I take in.

Damn. Sorry to hear Texas. It's ironic that we were talking about how to lose water weight... lol.

But it's not funny when $hit hits the fan and health issues arise. A couple weeks ago I noticed my bones actually feeling weaker and my teeth would hurt while chewing meat. Then a tiny piece of my cuspid chipped off. F* this.

oh... I had no warning signs. I think mine may have started as food poisoning and then became an electrolyte imbalance from the constant barfing etc. Best of wishes to you FOG... sounds like we are in the same boat.
 
Start carb deplete in the next few days, pretty exciting as we come to end on this journey. I have learned a lot about my diet and training the past few months. Never been so committed to diet and cardio before, so this was great.

But I cant wait for PIZZA on Super Bowl Sunday after pics are posted!

yeah this learning process was awesome.(still got the last week). great to learn your body in and out.(ive still much to learn)
 
Id be happy with top 3, not looking to win with how messed up this TO SHORT 3week cut went. I tryed to bulk for a longer time so I would'nt come in looking to "stringy" which alot of tall guys do. Id like to be 5'10 I got to much torso to feel up with muscle..lol
 
it takes time to fill it out Jj though good ol food. O and Im going to enjoy myself eating for a week or two after this contest.(..like a T-rex coming off a hungrer strike) lol

My fatal flaw was thinking i could lose all the weight I needed to in less than 8wks.
 
I am doing a carb deplete diet Tue, Wed, Thurs, with carb load on Fri/Sat. Also, will be doing AM/PM cardio and 2 gallons of water/day.
 

vomiting, diarrhea and almost zero food consumption is how. I ate a grapefruit or an orange each day and that was about it. One day I ate nothing because when I tried it just came back up.

Im not using it as an excuse. You guys will still see my pasty white ass up there on feb 1st. I lost a lot but I dont care I worked hard to get ready for this and caught a bad case of the flu (no flu sot this year). You'll just see about 15lbs lighter than I hard expected.
 
Im on no carbs right now. Im going to follow a CKD type diet and workout(mon-wed) with am and pm cardio sessions this last week. Depletion workout on friday with a carb load from about noon friday til midnite. Cut water back to about 1/2 gallon during this. Only drinking water when absolutely needed on friday, I'll start watching it on wed. Im going to carb up with PB/J on rice cakes. Thats did wonders for me in the past when I was preping for a show (that I didn't end up doing)
 
remember how i said no excuses?
i've got strep throat and a sinus infection.
hard time eating but my energy levels are high still.

OH~!!!! im single now lol.
 
Sounds like this contest was not meant to be with all these illnesses.
Dr. said i had a bad E.Coli flare up. Couldnt tell if one of the healthy ones in me over took or it was food poisioning due to symptoms.
Goodluck everyone.
