Post Show Bloat
ad
So after this last show I am to be taking two weeks off of diet (not complety but not as strict) weights, gear, and just rest. It seriously drives me up a friking wall..i am going insane...i do cardio still but not the same as I used to. I feel like a blimp ready to set sail in the thanksgiving day parade. I have become or am VEEERRYY carb sensative. I have read about and heard about the post show bloat..but holy hell..this sucks ASS!!
Any suggestions besides drinking water? I got that down..still chuggin my gallon.
I'm sooo eager to get this next run underway!!

Well the bloat finally is normalizing and salt can kik fukin rocks!! Hate it..i hate that everyone tries to put it in food..even in plain chicken breasts. I am very carb sensative so decided to cut those down again and not consume again post 2:00 but really watchin my food intake. Did cardio all last week and slowly startin bak at it again this week to get in line to show these national judges where its at.
Vike..yes, nolva again. Glad to see u bak and hope all will normalize soon for u. Hang in there hun!
T..You are supposed to say those things, not that ur opinion doesnt matter but i know u r to say those things and love you for it!
Ollie..watch the carbs salt and sugar...its easy but hang in there u got it!
Feels good to finally be normal again...ahh!!
tread-mWell I guess its unfortunate that you failed to understand, I said what I did because it was true and I meant it, not because I was "supposed" to. That whole suppose to thing has never been a part of who I am. It does make me rethink you saying I am amazing....hmmmmm ; P
=-O
ohhh hold up thur mr..fancy pants!! (I think that is the phrase u were trying to figure out before.) I am NOT one to say things that do not come from the heart and you know that. Now you.... eh hem...shall we??? Got two words for ya... three months. Ouch..yup.. oh and ...
ohh i'll save it sweetie.. see now me im not going to dwell on the past...i have moved on past it. (MWWWUAAHH!)
tread-mHad a lil stang too it huh honey? Rub a lil tussin on it, it'll be aaaaaaight ; )
Hell i'll bring ova the remains of K's tube of beaurdeaus butt paste fer ya..get ridda that rash u contracted from ur crazy weekend with tluv...its makin ya a lil looney and delusional. I told him to stay away from the nutella and u have an allergy to cheez whiz.
tread-mAnd cheesey jizzzz but that's another story! HE'S NOT THE MOMMA!
We will let Maury be the judge of that!!!
tread-mWe sure will buckaroo!
tread-mI'll say it again, you're as pretty as one can be...CALM DOWN ; )
OVER - COMPENSATION..... thats were you are at right now babe!..... its a natural body-reflex to try to regain some balance to the beasting you have just put it through,.... DONT PANIC!... this is normal after hard comp prep and why i always advice a full - body detox to help ease you back to some sort of balance... i cant remember if you ran nolva this time for a slight estro crash to shredd the quads... but if you did it makes sense to being having estro levels slightly higher now due to rebound etc.... 2/3 wks eating normal and taking onboard just enough fluids will see you right.. like mentioned below sodium is your enemy and really should be given the middle finger year round imo.
This is my first hour online since the funeral, we have got your emails and videos and will be in touch very soon... just trying to put life back together right now so hopefully 2/3 days should see everything back to normality lol... 4wks out now so we have a hill of work to get through... but we will trust me!
if you did pop a diuretic for the show you will have fluid rebound and it sucks the big one. The rebound plus increased sodium as well. This will clear over time. I suggest cleaning up your diet and still maintaining gour cardiovascular training. This happens in varying degrees. The deciding factor is what you have eaten in the hours post comp.
AnonYou've probably already forgot more than I will ever know about body building.
Yeah like the others said you should prlly ease into a normal diet.. You're body has be starved of carbs and all the tasty stuff for your comp.. which you did a bad ass job btw.. plus coming after any kind of gear will cause cortisol to through the roof.. I'm naturally a lean guy without gear but when I come off a cycle I get that bloat for a few weeks.. but when I get my hormones back to normal the bloat settles down
your carbs should be increased slowly after a long dieting phase, your body will be really sensitive to carbs ease yourself back into it. If you stuff your face you will blow up like a ballon.
X2^ when I got done with ebc I had to carb up slowly. And from what I was told directly from competitors was to carb up slowly.
waltri'm pretty carb sensitive myself, but i've found that lowering my sodium intake helps a lot.
this is probably needless advice since your probably years ahead of me on the dietary front
