How much weight can be gained during precontest carbing up?

[Van_Bilderass]

I never saw anyone gain ANY weight during carb-ups before a show.

well why not do it just to learn from other competitors and stuff. just saying.
it was to prove a point.

for example if you carb up with a bunch of pasta that contains alot of water.

so carbs are kept to ricecakes, sugar, stuff like that. on show day that is. and no water. unless you feel like dying of cramping up all over.

Ah ok ya I got you didn't full know what you ment got it now

I never saw anyone gain ANY weight during carb-ups before a show.

because of the amout of water being dropped obviously.

u look good ,and dieted ,don't know how hard to this point.enough to look ok on stage better than most people who try.depending on how big show is competitor wise ,even if 3 guys are in your class and u finish 3rd ,and there was a chance you could have beat the other 2 ,u will think about what could have been.goodluck man u came long way.

This guy gained +-4 kg (9 pounds) between weigh-in (second to last pic) and 15 hours later at the pre-judging (last pic)

that shows u big navy mike was same start point as well and at this point is the 2nd pic still 'sized'at mid point lean,,he needed to go 2 more boxes down,and that's what wes/gali was saying u never know how truly big/lean u are until u diet to staggering contest dryness,u see everything good/bad.

one carb up will ruin weeks of dieting?

will the one or two days of high carbs and water instantly revert him back to his pre diet shape?

sounds kind of farfetched bro

when not shredded, yes it will ruin it temporarily as soon as one drinks water.

when totaly shredded to the bone, 2days of eat all you can and drink water normaly will already spill over quite badly

carbs are not there to make you ripped genious. it's there to fill out the muscles the last hours. to turn to glycogen and fill up the muscles. that's the whole point stupid.

if you cut out water and sodium you can't hold water anyways. no amount of carbs will change that. if it's dry carbs that is.

this is bot broscienery.

many things can makr you hold water for no "apparent" reason.

sure carbs are just there to refil the glycogen,though.

i dotn agree with the sodium cutting, and cut out water,is relative ,you eat a banana,and well, go check how much water is in banana.

but a body with still fat on it, carbed up, no water drinking, the fat deposits will be pronounced more.

its as simple as that you dont go onstage if youre fat, thus, the whole carb up point gets moot

What would you recommend for me? Just to polish up. I'm near stage-ready as you can see.

jan tanna and your ready to go

dont use diuretics at this point youre so lean they would just kill you

[galeniko]

I know exactly what you guess are saying and I agree a lite carb up at then and and drop water makes sense that's what I was thinking about doing. Hell I'll just jump in the heavys those guys always look 4 to 6 weeks out

ha, brother, this is actulay a good point

i mean why not
