Some suggestions
As you did not list quantities (i.e. ounces, grams, etc.) it is hard to estimate what your total kcals/day are or what your percentage of Protein/Fat/Carbs are. It does look like you are heavy on protein and light on carbs. There is a huge difference between various brands...
Why?
Why do you guys say yes to creatine and no to glutamine?
The studies on creatine seem to be mixed. Some show no long term benefit other than as an aid to drawing carbs, water and glycogen into the muscle as when carb loading. Can you point me to any studies that show long term positive...
No carbs can be no good
No or very low carbs are usually not a good recipe for keeping muscle mass. A high protein/fat no carb diet can be helpful in losing weight and bf, but you will also lose muscle along with the fat loss.

Bump for Skip
Bump for Skip as your coach. He'll save you a lot more money than it will cost you for his help and if you follow his advice you will not only avoid mistakes and meet your goals but will also have a strong chance of placing high in your next show.
This one is true
I was at a McDonalds in central Kentucky. I handed the young female clerk a two dollar bill to pay for my order.
She looked at it trying to decide if it was real or not, then she asked the girl next to her "Can we take these?" The other clerk said "Sure". Then the first...
Wow - way to hang in there!
Wow usman - you did a great job of toughing it out. Hope that your next show goes smoothly and that you will feel better so that you will be able to enjoy your victory!
Congrats
Congrats on the new job. Govt jobs are still pretty stable, especially Federal Govt jobs. Careful about what you do with your new work pc, many govts restrict casual/personal use of the internet - you don't want to mess up your new gig over MC, we can wait to hear from you after work...
Welcome
Welcome to MC gunshowtix.
It is a little time consuming, but reading up on the subject so that you can draw up a sound diet plan is the right approach.
If you let us know a little more about what aspects of dieting you want to know more about we can point you in the right direction...
Who is he - I'm confused!
Did usman think he should leave sodium in? I thought that he was going to play it safe and take it out?
I'm with you, I still think sodium should come out. How else would you draw the water away from subqutaneous if you kept it in? By overcompensating with...
Empty out your PM box bro
Don't forget to also empty out the sent and tracking parts of your PM box.
Seems to me that you have been doing quite a bit of research and planning - you should do fine.
Might be interesting to try keeping water in for your next show if you want to try something a...
Good luck usman!
Hope it goes well usman! Try to enjoy it - the hard work is almost over now!
I'm with Skip on keeping your water high until later on Friday night. I would not taper down from the 6 liters, in fact even keeping it at 8 liters would not be a bad thing until you drop it Friday...
44 and still competing in the Masters class. We'll see how much longer my body wants to cooperate - I keep Radical_P busy with questions about my aches and pains. lol :)
Do both
Follow Choke's advice and ask to talk with the juvenile officer/detective about your concerns. Then the next time something happens that is or could be illegal or dangerous call the police and report it. Tell the responding officer that you have spoken to the detective and ask for a...
I do have a dvd player, but no electricity, so I have to run an extension cord from the neighbors house. Lucky that my computer is solar powered! :D
I've seen you beat yourself up a bit at the gym, so you might be good at this!
Big subject
Elmosback - Getting your diet right is 75% of this game whether you are on or off A/S. If you never compete and never want to lean out you can be much looser with it, but otherwise you have to plan it out.
Spend a little time with the search function and then lay out what your...
I like the variety
I like the variety of equipment at my gym. I'd have to spend thousands of dollars to even come close at home.
I also enjoy seeing the serious gym babes - That is motivating! ok - a little distracting too, but still motivating - lol
I figure that I save some money just by...
