Competition Diet?

jimtors Posts: 38 Joined: 2002/09/09	2003/01/21, 04:23 AM For the past year I have been bulking up, eating a tone of proteins, moderate carbs, taking creatin and supplementing peotein shakes three tims a day. I am currently standing 6' and 255 pounds and have put on quite a bit of muscle (for me). Now that I am interested in competing in amateur bodybuilding competitions, what is the best way to diet down and lose this fat? Should I cut the creatine and protein shakes? How much less should I eat in a given day? Also, should I change my program to accomodate the fewer calories and how should I do it? (higher reps, lower weight, etc.) Of course, more cardio is a given!

I am so excited!!!!!! You should contact BB1fit and he can help you out with your diet and lifting. He has been a great help to me as he can also be to you. Send him a message and I am sure he will try to help you out. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

It'll last at least 3 months to diet SLOWLY and steady so you wont loose lean muscle mass. Patience and lots of disciplin is needed. Competing has never been easy (but it's worth it!!! ;o) -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

But from where i stand now i still have a lot of work to do! Maybe it'll take me a year or so to get into a competition if i work hard at it. i just need to know, what are the pre-requisites, and where can i find a competition to compete in? Im 5'6 and 135lb.
