Pic prep.... Some advice please....

[Shear_Madness]

I was hoping some of you might be able to help me here. I have pics scheduled for June 17th, any suggestions for preparing? Im on about 50g carbs/day, only post workout, dropping fat pretty good. I havent had a cheat meal or a carb up day in 6 weeks, only because I was about 16% BF 6 weeks ago, and I have a very slow metabolism. Im currently 5'11" at 215 and about 12%BF. I have been running 250mg/enanthate and 600mgEQ for the past 10 weeks. 6 weeks before pics I will be switching to 100mg/prop EOD, 50mg winny ED, and 600mg EQ.

Thinking of cutting out the prop the week before pics to drop any water, but running the rest straight through. I will bump cardio up to 30mins am and 30mins pm for the final 4 weeks.

How should I prepare for the pics as in water, sodium, etc? when would be the best time to carb up, the day before or day of? Thanks. I have never been extremely vascular, even at 8-9% bf, I would like to get as vascular as possible for pics.

Well I dont really know about the optimizing the photo shoot, but i would suggest doing carb ups more regularly, especially as you drop BF, your lack of them could actually be contributing to you slow metabolism. Do some research on Leptin and dieting, it will help out.

ok try fina ed and some halo 25-30mg ed 4 weeks before pics low carb cardio 4-5 times a week 35-45 min treadmill fast walk up hill lasix 20mg am 20mg pm 3 days before pic if you think you can use it safely take some ala 3-4 grms ed for 5 weeks befor epics you could even hit whinny ed 50mg but the tren and halo should do you good and hard stay away from salt and keep water intake low the day before imo

Ive never used leptin and dont really know too much about it. Its been 6 weeks without a carbup day, I have thought about putting them in soon. Is one carbup day per week good?

Jack, I am gonna have to run with the products I have right now. Id rather not mess with the lasix. I thought about the halo. Should I carb up the day before the pics or no?

[jack hust]

you could have you ever tried it before how did your body react?

Actually leptin isnt a supplement it's a pretty newly discovered hormone that is thought of as a huge controller of lots of things like metabolism, and losing bodyfat. (dont feel bad, most people dont know about it either, and i am certainly no expert).

At your current bodyfat once a week should be good, the lower you get the lower leptin levels fall so carbups can be more often. When you get closer to the photo should you should probably not do them and go stricitly with jack hust's advice to look the best you can.

I have never used lasix, but have heard a lot about it. I have heard that if not taken correctly it can end up hurting your look rather than making it look better.
