What is your experience with "rebound" post contest? I started hitting it heavy out of the gate. Massive amounts of food. I'm currently 230. Biggest I've ever been in decent shape. Put on fat and tons of water but to really take advantage of it I feel you have to really make a surplus of carbs. What are you take on it? Ride the rebound tell the wieght stops increasing then mini diet down some?

Thoughts? That would require thinking. You've come to the wrong place.

I couldn't wait to put on 3 kilos after a comp. But once I filled out to a healthier level I would eat clean 90 per cent of the time.

The training forum would be more suited.

it shouldn't be overdone. disgusted said he would take advantage of it and make sure his clients keep training post contest but it shouldn't be an excuse to eat like a pig and bloat up.

it is a form of black magic (as halo would say) that has not been fully understood yet.

The actual muscle growth achieved is not nearly as much as some would have you believe. Most over do it. The stress on your body from extrely rapid weight gain is not worth a pound (maybe) of muscle.

The Grim Lifter · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2015, 06:37:53 AM »

Actually some believe the gain is due to the muscle you gain while dieting and you just filling out. You will gain weight afterwoods but excess is just fat and water.

This. Im never doing that bulk/rebound shit ever again. Each time i diet back down im maybe up .5lbs, i even that. Its just fat and water with a bulk. Ive come to realize its being lean, uppig the dose, And lightly increasing cals that is best

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #14 on:** April 23, 2015, 07:03:40 AM »

After a big diet down and contest it's best to take a couple weeks off. regroup then start lifting heavy again.

I'm starting to think that maybe be more of the real world. Yiur just filling out what you already have. I guess we will see. I've never done it so im just waiting to see the results.

supercompensation is just water bloat, it can kill you as well
A poster from here died about 18 months ago, came here posting his diet and pics, got slated on his calves.

gaining all that water weight is hard on the heart.

All water and fat...there is no magical post comp rebound affect where you put suddenly make crazy muscle gainz once you start stuffing your face...most people lack the discipline after the show to stick to their diet and slowly increase the calories back up...

Didn't you compete at ~190?

40 pounds in about a month isn't "rebound", it's just downright reckless. 3-4 pounds muscle, 10 pounds water, 16-17 pounds fat.

BEST PICS U TOOK WERE THE 1ST FEW DAYS TO WEEK AFTER SHOW,YOUR DELTS/ARMS/ AND WERE STILL PRETTY HARD ,U LOOKED FREAKY..

I remember you said you were gonna stay lean after the show. Then again, everyone says that, lol...

Just don't lose the top 2 abs. Usually to go from to 2 abs to nice lean stomach, it's about 20lbs.

to lose 20 is not too hard, 10 lbs of easy water retention to lose, then slowly lose the other 10 unwanted lbs of fat.
