LOL... I dunno, man. I've never heard of such a think happening... Eating all that shit and actually looking better?.... It was like you, well, kinda loaded up on shit - call it a... well, call it a *shitload*... Damn, that's a good idea... I like that - a "SHITLOAD." Nice.

Oh, wait...

Skip, wasn't there this guy named Zilla?....

P.S. Dennis, I'm just f&(kin' around - do a search on "shitload" and you'll find a lot of info.

i just wondered why skip my lower abs was holding fat or water but the day after i ate all that crap my lower abs had them 4 veins and filled in and apeared flat as a pancake im 40 just trying something knew in my life i got down to 7% but that seams like not enough in todays standards

Ken "Skip" Hill

If you were flat and you ate a ton of carbs, carbs need water so the water you were holding was pulled because it was needed to form glycogen to fill you out.

It is one of the main reasons that shitloading not only fills you out but it continues to DRY you out, as well.

bodybuilding is the only sport w/ such great verbs.. gimme that essential precontest shitloading

bhman6

does shitloading only work when water intake is low?

dennis black

skip my body fat was 7% not good but my lower abs got flat but do you think i should duplicate this 1 day earlier and get my body fat to 4%

bhman6

your BF% wont drop from last minute dietary manipulation

COPA

That's my understanding, yes. I've never heard of anyone doing it and also consuming water. The sodium in the junk food should pull any interstitial water (is interstitial a word?) into the muscle, similar to the carbs. But if you add water then, I think you would only hold it where you don't want to.

thanks copa for the info when you are 2 weeks out what is your body fat at what do you recomend or any recomend my body fat should be 2 weeks out at my show they measured me at 7% I know thAT sucks but i wanta do better next time round so what do you guys have your body fat 2 weeks out

COPA

I don't measure my bf% so I really don't know. You should be fully ready to step onstage at 2 weeks out though. So whatever you're shooting for onstage (4% maybe? I don't know), that's where you should be. The final 2 weeks should be for filling out a bit and fine tuning, not for losing fat. The fat / skin on your lower back should be about the same as it is on your knuckles.

thanks copa with that test do you bend your knuckles to test the bodyfat and when you check your back do you check in the middle

dennis black

skip what bodyfat are you 2/3 weeks out

Diesel Machine

Sounds like you could have been over-dieted... Most of the time, bbers always look better the day after their show for the first several times they compete.... Youll learn your body....

Ken "Skip" Hill

I am sorry that I have missed this thread for so long.

I am with COPA on this one. You should be ready at the 2 week mark and then ride it in, so to speak. I don't do bodyfat numbers, either, because some guys look great at 6% and others don't so it is a bit relative.

The same thing happened to me when I did my first competition at age 42. I filled out great 32 hours later after the show was done. I upped my carbs starting Thursday morning. After the show I went out and consumed almost an entire large chicken club pizza and 2 beers, the next day was steak, baked potoatos, corn on the cob...i just ate like crazy all the good stuff. Monday morning I looked so damn good it wasn't funny. My bodytype is an ectomorph so I have a feeling next time I will carb up starting Wednesday and I will eat lots more than I did the other time. Family is trying to talk me into another one.
Oh..by the way, new to this place. Nice site gang!

What I Would Do Is Eat The Natural P/b. Fat Load 3 Weeks Out Once Your Bf Is Around The 4-5% Mark. Shit Load Smit Load. Try Also The Night Before Good Ole Pie Fillin Hummmm Goooood

getnjakked

virtually 0 water on a shitload.... NONE or ice chips or a sip-NO DRINKING.. Shitloads do/can/will work for sure, just make sure you dont overdo it & spill over... I've seen guys go way overboard & eat too much b/c they think they have to... a burger/fries & snickers bar worked awesome for me....I ate, but didnt overdo it & looked good & hard for pre-judge... same thing 2hrs b4 nite show & help my condition rite thru the entire day & nite....... 0 water!!!!!

IronBrendan

You just resurrected a two-year-old thread bro.

Good thread. Nice bump

Ken "Skip" Hill

If your water is controlled as it should be ahead of time, there is no way you will spillover from too much food on the day of the show. Something in your prep the last couple days was not right.

Yeah from what I understand the only thing you have to be careful of is distention.
