What are the crucial mistakes bodybuilders, both amateur and professional, make during contest prep or in general?
That’s question covers a wide spectrum of mistakes that can be made and definitely deserves a extensive answer. First let me say that champion bodybuilders, that is the athletes who consistently place in the most prestige’s shows, have found a formula that works for them and never breaks their routine. Shawn Ray for example… as much as I hold genuine disdain for him, he was one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. He was always in shape, always at the top of his game in every show he competed in. make no mistake, the only reason he wasn’t Mr. Olympia is because of his small stature, not because of his contest preparation. That midget knew what he was doing…I’m sorry, “little person.” Dexter Jackson is another IFBB Pro who is always in shape and certainly found the formula that works for him without failure. This brings me to the most common mistake both amateur and professional bodybuilders make…
1. Changing what’s working for them. I am so guilty of making this mistake more times then I care to admit. For some reason, more times then not, bodybuilders lose sight and focus just weeks prior to contest time and make extreme and detrimental adjustments destroying their physique. I just recently read in MD magazine that Dennis Wolf was not at all happy with his appearance on the Olympia Stage. He listened to other’s and made some unnecessary adjustments a week out resulting in being flat on stage. If you look the absolute best you’ve ever looked several weeks out from your show, do not change a thing, and change nothing, simply coast into the contest!! The best I’ve ever looked, the most full my muscles have ever been, the best conditionally I ever, obtained was at the 2001 San Fran Pro Show. Chris Cormier and I trained like Gorilla’s for that shows. We trained heavy with extreme intensity, we slowly restricted calories all fat was non existent, increases calories slightly into the show, took an obscene amount of steroids and growth hormone and coast into the competition. I placed 2nd behind Chris that show and never repeated that shape again. Why? Because my dumb-ass was consistently breaking the golden rule…do not change what works for you!
2. Do Not make the mistake in thinking that steroids, HGH and insulin are just “finishing touches” or insignificant in all facts of bodybuilding…that’s simply not true! That’s what Professional Bodybuilders say to down play the use because they feel it fakes away from their accomplishments or more so because steroid use illegal. Fact is, no supplement companies want their endorsed athletes giving praise to primobolan depot or a brand name trenbalone. Make no mistake, steroids and HGH are not only essential, but they’re crucial in the creation of the greatest physique possible. Obviously, I have no reason to be politically correct, nor have I ever been politically correct…so if you have any questions in regard to steroid use, I’ll answer then honestly without hesitation. Listen, I know half dozen pro bodybuilders who constantly complain of sore injection sights while preparing for shows…they know who they are…including myself.
3. Do not use Synthol! Synthol is a huge mistake. Any type of oil or solution injected into the muscle for the sole purpose of swelling or temporarily increasing it’s size of that Muscle…is a catastrophic mistake! First of all, bodybuilders who use synthol look absolutely ridiculous…they’re being clowned and laughed at. The synthol injections are obvious and do nothing but destroy the detail and appearance of the muscle. Stop it, you’re not fooling anyone, you’re destroying your physique. And you look fucking silly!! Furthermore, a recent study has shown that prolonged use of synthol can cause irreversible side effects…such as severe tissue build up and permanent deterioration of the actually muscle fiber. Two athletes that come to mind are Milo’s Sarchev and Nasserr Elsombaty, both of which suffered negative effects of synthol. It was known fact that Milo’s severely damaged the muscle fiber in his biceps causing infections as well as devastating scar tissue build up. In Nassar’s case, I can remember myself and many others laughing hysterically at the appearance he created using synthol in his arms. He literally ruined his physique! – So not only do synthol users look absolutely ridiculous but you can cause permanent damage…destroying your physique as well as you career, or even worse, your health!
4. Make 100% for certainty you’re using legitimate anabolics…there are so many fake and counterfit steroids floating around it’s not even funny. Fake steroids being, vegetable oil in a multi-use vial or single dose ampoules. counterfeit being testosterone labeled as something else such as primobolan or trenbalone. Do not for one second trust these individuals who sell their own private label underground steroids. Ya know, the guys/girls who tell you they got the powders from china and then processed said powder into injectables or pill form anabolics. There are more then a few countries where you can order and purchase steroids and HGH right over the counter without a prescription. I know from personal experience you can do this in Spain, Mexico, Romania, Andorra, Argentina and several other counties. Try and limit your choices when purchasing steroids to actual companies like Shein, Goldline, Steris and Shering. Go ahead and your physician as to information in regard to domestic companies still manufacturing anabolics. There’s nothing worse then preparing for a contest and find out the Trenbalone you’ve been using was nothing more then vegetable oil…it’s happened to me several times!! Screw using underground roids, you wouldn’t put gasoline into your Porsche unless you knew for certain it was actual gas…so don’t put steroids into your body unless you know, without a shadow of doubt, their real. I don’t care how much you shake the vial, or hold it up to the light to see if there’s particles floating, or if you even go so far as to filter the product yourself through some micron syringe titles…if it’s not manufactured by a actual pharmaceutical company, then even with all those precautions it still can just be vegetable oil!
5. Biggest and most prevalent mistake of all…using diuretics to rid your body of sub Q WATER. Bottom line, if all the fat is gone, you’ll never ever have to take the chance of totally destroying all the hard work you’ve put in and flatten out like a pancake come contest morning!! Your muscle is something like 68% water and honestly water should never be cut out regardless if off season or contest time…diuretics more times then not will suck the life right out of you and your muscle. Once you’ve reached your desired look, change nothing, which goes back to the 1st mistake I’ve outlined for you, and most certainly, do not add diuretics back into the equation. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I nearly died using demadex following the 2001 Olympia. Demadex destroyed my physique suching me down lower then 220 lbs. which was 20lbs lighter then I weighed when I win the 96 USA Championships and 27lbs. lighter then when I placed 2nd months before at the 2001 San Fran Pro Show…all compliments of Dorian Yates! If you have trouble drying out come contest time, use 250mg. of Cytadrene the last three weeks right into the show…it’s excellent.
