Hey Fella's, I am hopeing some of you can help me out here. I have a photoshoot on Tuesday and Im wondering how much fluid and carbs you take in the day of and the day before? Ive been running low carbs 3 days, two days moderate, and one day high then repeating for the last 3 weeks.
Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Im asking for serious advice Rob, can you honestly help?

i don't know much about peaking - probably very low water and high carbs 1 hour before shutter time.
i didn't have the 100% correct answer, so i fig'd a bump would help get the topic some justice.

i don't know what your grams or amounts are gong at,but i like yams to carb up with,high in sugar "starch' and low sodium or distilled water depending on how extreme u want to be for a photoshoot,how much water are u cutting out?i saw your pics u look good,so i imagine u got real lean for this,a little wine will pull some added vascularity.

Just keep drinking a lot of water. Even increase it. Seriously.

Im kinda confused..Ive heard I should signifigantly reduce my water starting the day before and then carb up the morning of.
I appreciate your advice man

Cut your water intake 24 hours before.....it's a no-brainer. Take a Lasix or two & do your photo shoot.
Let us know what happens, k? :)

Yep, been there, done that. If you get some cramps.....you just suck it up, it's all part of the bbing game. ;)
BTW, my avatar pic is like 4 weeks out from Nationals. I didn't even make the top 15 & I had to make a decision......not gonna be a Pro bodybuilder. :) It was a wakeup call for me.

Time your shoot one day after your high carb day. Don't cut water till morning of the shoot. Sips when needed during shoot. Get about 2 gallons daily till then. This is not the end all to carbing and water depletion but it is very safe and will make you look good on shoot day. NO DIURETICS especially on a shoot day. Hot lights, long hours will flatten you out bigtime.

You can always go the natural way.....get some Dandelion Root from GNC, 3 caps 3 times per day for a few days out from your shoot.

WTF, this is horrible advice. If you are ready, as in lean enough, do what Disgusted says and drink a lot until the morning of. Lasix + water restriction = disaster generally.

Exactly.....my last show I did high water intake until the night before (cut it at about 6 - 7pm). I also like a higher sodium intake during the week. If you arent lean enough, the best manipulation isnt going to matter in any way, shape, or form.
