So I'm begining a 12 week competition my job is hosting that awards lean muscle gained and body fat % lost. 1st prize is $2,000.

It starts next week, anyone have any dieting tips or how you would break up bulk/cut? Was thinking about bulking this week before the weigh in 01/31. That or just do a lean bulk slowly each week.

Wish my jobs had these. I envy yall. I'd win so easy

I suggest 4 week cut 1-1.5lb/week. Then slow bulk the other 2 months.

I would shop around bodybuilding.com for a 12 week program. It looks like they charge for programs now but there may be some free ones online.

Before when they were free I use to pick and choose stuff from Kris Gethin's programs. It's good stuff imo.

I’d gauge the competition. If you have some fat asses that work with you and will likely be participating, and you’re not really a big guy or don’t have much bodyfat go for the lean muscle gained prize. If you have some extra fat already that you can lose then go for it. Definitely bulk like hell before weigh in if that’s what you choose to do. I think another guy did that for a challenge a while back. Eat hella salty foods and drink an *** of water until like a day or 2 before weigh in then drink no water I think was the advice.




Then fast for 10 days before the final weigh in...







































































































Not srs.

Am I the only one who prefers dumbbell chest press over bench? Feel like I get a better pump.

Gonna aim for 100lbs incline tonight

 

[ahat]

Cant have one without the other.

 

[brandon3000]

Thanks for the advice guys. They're telling everyone don't drink too much water before weigh in. We'll see

more rom on db, but the advantage of the barbell is that you can put more weight on it.

Dumbbells are great because they allow your arms to abduct horizontally across your chest while you're pressing; while on a barbell your arms are in a fixed position throughout the lift.

The very function of the pectorals is to abduct the arms across the torso so you can imagine why some people prefer dumbbells for pectoral activation.

Same reason Arnold favored chest flies for chest pump.

Why you think you’d win easy, you’re already in great shape, I feel like these dumb competitions are geared towards fatasses who can go from 40% bf to 30%. If you’re already lean AF or yolked what are u gonna do

That was the homie @stuntman mike

He gave a crazy detailed tutorial how to win a work weight loss competition , i found it hilarious and also weird

Stuntman you good fam? You used to post in here regularly about how much you’ve fallen off and need to get back on it

Thanks for the vids but imma need someone with some gains or aesthetics talkin about prolonged fasting before I take it seriously. Intermittent fasting is solid but that prolonged fasting and ketosis sounds like some frail guy business. I'm not saying everyone needs to be swole but we I don't go to the gym to look like I'm making those crystal meth gains by not eating.

So glad someone else said it before I could.

There are countless other ways to challenge yourself mentally then fasting. Also if you do it for weight loss purposes, this inlcudes Keto and any other fad diets that have you on low caloric intakes, you're just going to put that weight right back on when you go back to normal eating unless you know how to recomp damn near perfectly.

You cant go hard in the gym when fasting or starving yourself, its been proven countless times. It will also **** with your body in other ways that you don't even realize.

Nobody jacked or strong does this ****. Stay out my face with it. Got me heated man **** a fast.

Find out the exact brand of machine they are using to test you all. Bod pod? BIA? DEXA? Whatever the method, give me the name or model of the machine being used. I can give you a huge advantage on how to make your numbers look way better than what they are

 

[soundview]

Wait, it's a separate contest for muscle gained and fat loss? I thought he meant whoever gained the most muscle and lost the most fat. That's why I recommended what I did. I need clarity lol

 

[ahat]

I need clarity lol

Fast for 10 days and you shall have it my brother

 

[cjfuego]

I'd rather use this hack squat free-weight than the machine at my local gym.

 

[cjfuego]

My right knee always has a cracking sound when I squat. Will just turn up the music to ignore it

nah brody wear a wrap or compression leggings. you won't be stiff after. my tendinitis hasn't been acting up as of late.

[JPS]

my cracking turned into a huge pop. RIP

 

[tomdiginson]

The 10 day fast was just a self discipline exercise. This few day fast is to get into keto.



Nope. I actually feel sharper during my fasts believe it or not.



Nah, Keto is fine.

I've done something similar on some spiritual tip, after doing it multiple times, it can be done.
