good luck

Just started my pre contest diet today for the NPA Heart of England show on 19th August www.npa-bodybuilding.co.uk .Looking forward to getting into contest shape again and hope to have made some decent gains not having competed since the end of 2005.The plan this year is to do as little cardio as possible and,hopefully,retain a bit more muscle.Anyone elso dieting for a show at the moment?

Show is just 5 days away now.Currently on 50 g of carbs a day.Feeling quite pleased with how I look.Hope to be at my best ever after dropping water.I have not cheated on my diet,missed any cardio of given less than 100% in the gym so am satisfied whatever the outcome.Here's a shot taken earlier today.Think I will look a lot better with a tan ;D

Thanks,guys.Will post the result and pics on here when I get home.It's 6 am here in the UK but I can't sleep.Setting off about 10.30 am so plenty of time to tan up and have a steak.Cut water at 4 pm yesterday and then had some dry white wine about 9pm so feeling pretty dry.
Went out yesterday and bought some flapjacks and doughnuts for after the show.Might have a pizza too :D

Well done mate, looking forward to seeing the pics. What kind of tan do you use?

A coat of Pro-Tan the night before,a coat of Dream Tan No. 2 rubbed well in on the morning of the show and another coat patted in before going onstage.I bought them online from the US and,even with $14.99 shipping,it was cheaper than buying just the Dream Tan in the UK ::)

 Your legs are huge.  Everything looks good but the only thing I would say is maybe work on your arms a little bit more.  Add some more size.  Other than that very good.

Thank you.Totally agree about needing more arm size and overall thickness.Legs were a weak point last time I competed and I feel I have brought them up but my arms just don't seem to improve-any ideas?

Man your diet is obviously spot on.  I am not sure at this stage in your career if you will be able to add much more size as a natural.  How old are you?

Make sure you switch up your arm routine.. both biceps and triceps.  When I train arms I switch up the exercises everyweek.  I do barbell curls with ez and straightbar..concentrati on curls..both seated and standing..hammers.  I also train forearms and do wristcurls and reverse wristcurls with barbell and dumbell.  Triceps I do exercises like overhead extention with one dumbell.. switch off to two dumbells in each hand the next week, also use ez and straight barbell to do skullcrushers.. do some dips..kickbacks too.  I always switch off exercises and do different angles.  Most of my arm exercises I like to go a little extra heavier in weight.  I think it helps me to always switch up the exercises. How long have you been training?

I was told I would look much better if I were 3 inches shorter(I'm 6 ft and have a long torso and long limbs) but I don't think there's much I can do about that ;D.Doing another show on 8th September so will keep you posted :)
