No same diet and all just hope for the best on the day.

Can u give us a rundown of your diet?

HRDCOR · « **Reply #3 on:** February 21, 2006, 02:18:07 PM »

Protein is high(made up of chicken ,steak,fish and whey) , around 50-60grms grms per meal, and he is having 7 meals a day , meals, 1,2 3,4,5 - have carbs which are Oats and rice,while meals ,6,7 are mainly protien and salad or fiberous vegtables, you know brocilli, carrot, beans, lettice , tomatoe, cucumber etc , he also has flax seed oil in there for good fats, he is also having whey protein in the morning for meal one or sometimes egg whites (mood dependent), he is eating around 3200 cals per day, and uses products like l-carnitine (5grms) to aid fat moblisation--so it is much the same as every one elese(there is no magical formula) as it all comes down to the same old equation --Energy vs Energy out !!!

Funny !!!!

Lee or HRDCOR---------will lee still be using heavy weights or will he lighten up the poundages as he gets closer to March 4th ? Thank you !

HRDCOR · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2006, 07:52:31 PM »

Lee still trys to lift as heavy as possible in the 8 to 15 rep range, but as his bodyfat gets lower so does the strength, some days he will be full on and strong , next day he may be slightly down and tired , you know the usual stufff that goes on through out the dieting process , also lee trains instinctivly so he will vary the reps and weights from day to day !!

Does he ever cheat when he's dieting seriously?

First off a big congratulations to the Ironman win you looked great.
Since you have always been upfront with what you have used gear wise would you care to tell us what you were on leading up to this contest and do you run your gear all the way up to the show or do you cut it out some weeks before? If Lee doesn´t want to reply maybe HRDCOR could give us some info

In the early stages he sometimes gives into temptation and grabs a ice cream or something , but he has one cheat day a week up to about 4 weeks out, then it goes to one cheat meal for 2 weeks out ,then there is none , between the ironman and the Aussie show he will most likely only have a cheat meal after each, he may grab a low fat youghurt ice cream here or there but that will be it !!

Jake I dont think we will answer that at this stage not with the shows pending and all but just let me say it is stuff all he uses , I tried to get him to try some new stuff and he said Nah , dont need to do I, I look alright with just this , I had to agree !!

pumphard · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2006, 02:33:41 PM »

Sorry hardcore, i know i'm being a pain, but, how much water does he take in a day? Also, does he take any l-carnitine or ALA? and lastly, does he take anything in particular before or after his workouts? Thanks bro, i really appreciate your time.

pumphard · « **Reply #22 on:** February 23, 2006, 01:45:36 PM »

Lee, can u please tell me if you think it's worth it for a natural bodybuilder to take NO2 ( l-arginine ). Do you think it's a waste of money taking an NO2 pre workout drink and then creatine drink after my workout?

Melga · « **Reply #23 on:** February 25, 2006, 06:43:02 PM »

Mr. Priest, Congrats for the Ironman. The ( At last!) obvious winner!

A quick question: A very well known Bodybuilder came to a seminar here ( one of the big german ones) and said that to do a good carb-up without retaining much water was doing it with baked potatoes. He said that potatoes, and not rice, helped to flush more water out in car up. Is that true? What do you think?

Thank you very much

pumphard · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2006, 04:07:03 AM »

How about you, hardcore, haven't heard from u in a while. Can you answer for Lee?
