dazc's comp prep for the UKBFF Muscletalk championships, 24th June.

Incredible Bulk


lmao, i love the no sh1t attitude from righty in here

Whats your cardio poison?

I dare say Paul is the same with you mate - gives advice, expects you to get on with it.

I will hold Daz's hand and guide him hour-by-hour at one week out. Until then, it's all his own hard work.

hope so mate! long as i can keep my head straight, at the moment though things seem pretty clear, im sure there will be a few more rough patches along the way though!  ha ha

You will likely question why you're doing it at around 8 weeks out mate - when condition still isn't great but you feel like you're just getting smaller.

As extra advice is needed, I'll dial it in.

For now - simple food and training plan.

Complicated just, er, complicates things.

Fluids/retention.
Have you recently introduced a lot of caffeine?

dyskee

i lose size (muscle) very easy.

Just a question , is muscle loss applicable even though ur using AAS??

Very.

Fluids/retention.
Have you recently introduced a lot of caffeine?

no,  i was using caffeine before workouts a few weeks ago, but dropped is, as i didnt feel much benefit, and i like to use as little of that kind of thing as i can.
 
hold on, does pepsi max have caffeine in it?  have had that for past few days to help get rice cakes down. 
 
Thinking about it i was very thirsty this morning so i was probably a little dehydrated from yesterday.
 
currently drinking about 4-5 litres a day?

as i get closer and weight loss is harder this absoloutely will not happen.  I realise its not ideal now but dont take it as a sign of lack of commitment to come

Cheat when righty says cheat, dance when righty says dance...righty says jump you get out a measuring stick and ask 'how high?'

Its something i've had to learn!

Head down mate... if you tinker with the master plan by adding in cheats it becomes harder to judge whats working for you regardless how far out you are.

I can imagine righty is tweaking your diet, AAS and training small amounts and blowing out on half a pizza means things will be harder to measure this week due to water retention from the cheat?

im blaming my mate for bringing pizza into my house! 

want a slice mate i cant eat it all

i cant im on a diet

go on one slice wont hurt

epic fail

ha ha!

The more you drink, the less you hold once your body becomes acclimatised to proper hydration mate.
You have not lost 3lb of tissue or fat in a day, so it must be water.

Caffeinated drinks in tandem with drinking a lot can cause quite profound water reduction - as you'll see near show day.

IB - if that avatar pic is representative of what you look like now, all I can say is "well done" to you and Paul. How long until show day?

weighed mysef this morning and weight is back to normal, so a rolling week gives a 2lb loss from the same time last week.

45 minutes unfuelled cardio done this morning. 

Am going to be knocking a couple of walls down this afternoon and shifting the rubble, so think i may include a little extra carbs in the afternoons food

im 30 next week, and all my mates have planned a night out, and am already getting a serious amount of stick for saying im not drinking.

2lb loss is perfect mate.

As said before, it's not a contest to lose weight, just fat.

righty, look in the general section for my progress pic thread or my journal page 77 mate.

cheers, without wanting to side track dazc's journal its coming together

3 weeks today

So good he had to say it twice [:D[]

Tesco Salt and Vinegar rice cakes are the bollocks and Pepsi max is my saviour!
 
Why do people bring pizza round when your dieting. Elfintan and Paul brought pizza to my house after the Universe last year as a treat for Paul following his comp....I still had 3 weeks to go to mine. Imagine smelling the stuff cooking and then getting up in the morning and the fridge is full of leftovers!!!!

i think they do it deliberately to be cruel!

pizza is one of the best smelling foods when you arent eating any junk!

kitty, got some salt and vinegar ones today, they are very tasty! also got some marmite ones and they are lovely too!

will certainly make eating 7 ricecakes twice a day a little easier!

When is the next up date pics being done ?
All sounds good mate, have you been this lean before?
Or have you been lower.

despite being alot leaner, its not showing in photos yet, im at a weird stage where the visual improvements are pretty small, so probably a couple of weeks untill the next set of photos.
 
ive been leaner than this before,  when i was under ten stone and cycling a few hundred miles a week lol
