pre-stage carb concoction

just curious what people eat before stepping on stage. last year ate a hershey bar, and a bag of salt n pepper chips.

what do you think about dry oats, chocolate chips, and frozen strawberries mixed in a bowl? the dry oats helps pull water from what i understand, i will also be using them today after 1 when i stop drinking water. also would i want the strawberries to have sugar added or not?

btw, i will be competing tomorrow at the deleware state champs, in wilmington. press, can you make it? or will you be going to the garden states?

I have heard alot of guys having a glass of wine before for the sugar and the alcohol helps the viens stand out alittle.

some peaple bring a whole cooler backstage with them bro, but i'll just bring a shopping bag with a protein bar and some bagels with jelly,but u dont want to eat to much that your stomach gets bloated but then again if your preparing for a show ur so depleted that ur body will soak that shit right up and fill u out quick like!!i eat like 2 bagels with plenty of jelly on top of them along with 2 protein bars and a couple of oatmeal wafers or rice crispy cakes
but that is me ask PRESSER or MMX2 or u could just ask someone who has made a profession out of it like BIG A..... good luck

this is also true but on the real note if exbiditers or judges smell the alcohol on ur breath boom ur disqualified..so becareful but i have done the wine trick for the finals one time and it worked pretty good i just chewed a peice of gum after words and no body smelled it but as far as vasularity goes then if ur lean and in contest mode {physically} then u can just get shit like "hot stuff" that heats the muscle up really good and promotes vasularity then hit the pump-up room hard and heavy with high reps u should be nice and veiny when u step on to stage.....good luck

I eat carbs like sweet potato or rice every 2 hrs. 2 hrs before i step on stage in have a king size snickers, 1/2 before stage time i have a few swigs of gatorde with a handful of jellybeans.
