First competition.... Unprepared is an understatement

Does anyone have the protocol for dandelion root and b6 as a diuretic .... I found one protocol that mentions Friday 1000-1500mg dandelion root once morning and once PM along with 200-400mg B6

Seems like you have your mind set, but I'm going to tell you what was given to me by many prep guys.

Depletion (carb) starts 1 week out, Friday. Only protein + fiber. Continue with cardio and full body train. Do this till Tuesday/Wed, week of the show.

Start carbing back up w/ white rice every meal starting Wednesday. Same day Sodium should be dropped completely.

Friday morning start diuretics.

Friday @ 8pm drop water completely. No sipping unless absolutely necessary.

Not so much that I had my mind set but I already committed to doing it one way... Best I can do now is see how it turns out and use your advice to do better next time around. I will basically depleat 2 days and dry out while holding a partial of my carb load from tues wed... The way I see it you can either dry out and load or load then dry out .....

Protan sessions will happen on Friday and sat. 2 coats applied Friday at 1030 and 5 and then one coat pre show. Can someone tell me the name of a product that can be put on top of protan for a good sheen but isn't oily?!?

I prefer jantana over protan. But if u use protan the jantana glaze is great. Pat it in to blend without smearing. I assume it will work with protan as well. Gives a great sheen

I actually found a lady locally that's gonna do 3 coats of blackout tan applied and help pre comp for 85$ ... Seemed reasonable enough

I didn't kill it but I did not place last... My conditioning was that of being 4 weeks out or so as it should have been according to my diet and plan... This gave me the freedom to try lots of different things to see If I could dry out and fill up in different ways without being worried about trying new things .... I am gonna continue prepping and try to find another show a couple months off and give myself more time to lock in the posing which was a weak point... Waiting to get some of the pro pics that were taken but I will upload a pic between pj and night show so you get an idea of my conditioning
