CONTEST PREP, FINAL WEEK, HOW I DID IT. The final week before a bodybuilding or fitness show can make or break you. There have been many competitors who were in great shape the week before a show to only have it fall apart the moment they stepped on stage. Some took too much carbohydrates in to attempt to "fill up" while others put too much faith in how lean they would appear after they "dropped the water". For myself, I found that although it was important to "fill out" with carbs, it was also important to time it properly in order to make sure that you maintain the lean look while bringing more fullness to the muscles. I found that the best way for me to accomplish this was to carb up or ingest starches ahead of time and then slowly drain off the excess water before the day of the show. I learned the timing of this by treating every Saturday of every week as if it was show day. I'd time my "carb ups" and then see how many days it would take for me to look my best. This is how I learned the proper timing for my precontest prep. http://www.naturalgallantbodybuilding.com INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/naturalgallantbodybuilding/?hl=en The SHOES I LIKE TO TRAIN LEGS IN: http://amzn.to/2aPXvdM CLOTHING AND APPAREL: http://tee.pub/lic/aAGa4mYyeEQ Photography and Art: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/jason-gallant.html FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/JasonGallant9 EQUIPMENT USED TO MAKE MY VIDEOS: Canon 70D DSLR Camera: http://amzn.to/2aZgYgM Sigma 1.4 35mm Lens: http://amzn.to/2aDdHRY Rode Video Mic Pro: http://amzn.to/2aKFq3E Sennheiser G3 lavalier wireless microphone: http://amzn.to/2aTyPTK Canon 16-35mm 2.8 lens: http://amzn.to/2aZUWtb Some of the links above are Amazon Affiliate links.
