We have Caffeine Pro from MP. I'm sure you would be welcome to borrow some for the day if you don't have any.

Cheers Dom. I'm trying to plan my eating for the day. I weight 81.7kg in the morning so I think I can safely have a morning shake before heading over. I'm thinking after weigh-in another shake then the pre-workout while warming up for squats.

Edit: Bought some caffeine so should be good if it comes before comp day.

Here's what I'm thinking so far.

7am: 80g oats, 40g whey, 5g MCT, 1.5g beta alanine
10am: 20g dextrose, 20g oats, 30g whey
Pre-squat: 5g leucine, 5g creatine, 2g beta alanine, 3g taurine, 220mg caffeine, 5g MCT
Through-out: 2ltr bottle of xtend

Need to think of something to eat between squats and bench.
 
I think there are a few important factors to consider for comp day eating:

1) don't underestimate how hungry you'll be

2) eat food that you like

3) don't get bloated!

4) bring enough food for a backload after our bis/tris/abz session post comp*


*not at all serious, especially if you're coming to the all you can eat place!
 
I'm planning to cook some of those protein cookies Kai posted in the gym rats thread, they look ideal for snacking. I will probably have some of that before lifting instead of another shake to avoid bloating.

Eating between squats and bench is in my opinion the best time because I find that any boating affects me a lot less on bench since in not using my core as actively.

My day will probably look something like this:

7am: 20g oats, 60g whey, 5g creatine, 10g glutamine, coffee, 10g MCT, some other bits and bobs
Straight after weigh in (9.30am ish): 20g dextrose, 20g whey, banana, 10g MCT, 5g creatine
Before squat: 5g taurine, 5g beta alanine, 10g bcaa, 400mg caffeine, L-OAKG
Before bench: pasta salad with chicken, banana, 10g MCT
Before deadlift: 5g taurine, 5g beta alanine, 200mg caffeine, L-OAKG
Post comp: all the food.

Shorter rests than I'm used to, but not even close to Steedie's short rest :p. Session done in just under 2.5 hours followed by 20-30mins of stretching. Feelsgoodman.jpg

Training again tomorrow so I went a little easy on some of the volume, however it was the best session I have had in a very long time.
 
Legs were ****ed :D.

Like Ice said it was the worst DOMS ever, he definitely seems to have suffered a little more than I have, so I count myself lucky ;). Still feeling it now :p.

Ha! No the rests were 3-4 mins max. That is about half the length that they have been before. Steedies workout last week was awesome, it has made my normal workouts so different. Cheers brah even though it hurt like hell!

Deads tonight which is going to be a little tough with the fatigue from yesterday but it'll be fine. Thankfully no benching since my pecs are runied :).
 
Hey Dom

Emailed you last night, it's the email you was using prior to the mini meet so I presume it's correct :p x
