thanks randy, quick and phreak for your feedback. fucking awesome to see you guys love the book.
I actually really enjoy reading it. I've gone thru it several times. I like the way gal and I balance eachother. he's got this 'way' of talking that's fucking funny. that's why we didnt run this thru any kind of spell check/ diction/ grammar program the thing would have bad a meltdown. plus it makes the book entertaining. a fun type of read. my writing is too stiff. serious. gal has humour. that's the whole idea. I'm pretty sure you can pick out what gals written and what I have. I'd much rather read a book in gal speak.
I learned something from this weekend. do everything that I did to peak on the day of the event (sunday) a day earlier. run a cal deficit right till Friday night instead of Saturday. take in my big cal meal Friday night. get up hammer out on saturday am whatever body parts I hit Sunday am instead. stay fasted all day crush another big cal meal Saturday night. get up not train and bingo! supercompensation for Sunday. in a typical pre contest you need to deplete for several days, and start loading up on food for 72-48 hours before to the tune of sometimes as much as 1.5k carbs over the 3 days depending on your lean tissue. I found none of this necessary. just run the deficit till 36 hours before you event. take in 1500 shit cals or so - you don't need much- train 24 hours before event, fast till that night and hit another 1500-2k the night before event and control your water intake and BAM! when you wake up don't eat and head out. your stomach will be tight your abs sucked in and you'll be full but not watery full. watery full isnt good. you want density/ dry full.
I tried to peak for a day on that day. big mistake. I missed it by a day. all the training and food needs to be done 24 hours before not the day of.
mind you this is just for a pool party or photo shoot. not a pre contest peak. it'd be a little more complex but not a lot. we've got our first personal training client. he's going his second physique show in 12 weeks. we'll bring him in slightly differently for that but not by much. the one thing is for certain- the better shape your in, the fewer adjustments need to be made as I found out this weekend. :)g
cheers everyone thanks for the positive feedback and not positive feedback.
both are equally motivating.
