Preparing for a shoot

[hustlemaker]

Have a photoshoot what is the best way to get the body looking lean ?

 

[Mobster]

I've zero experience in that area.

 

[stevesmi]

it depends on how long you fast ahead of the shoot. you want to fill the muscles with glycogen ahead of the photos if you want the muscles to pop out. i would not consume pizza at all, that will inflame your gut lol. have some jam or sugary drink

this type of timing comes with experience man.

So i have photoshoot in 5 days, i need people who have experience with show prep

I was thinking 0 carbs for next 4 days ans drink more water

Then 36h before shoot, no water, no food et do rebond with a pizza then go train lightweight juste before shoot

I heard something important with salt too, Can someone explain me pls

Thanks

Trist me man, as a former competitor you dont want to junk load. That usually doeskt end well. Stick to carb sources you know your body will uptake and fill out on without bloating. Dairy needs to be avoided as well. Csrb depletion followed by loading is fine but stick to good carb sources

I mean you can fast leading up to the shoot if you want to look super lean. Depends what the goal is of the photo shoot.

definitely agree here

Pizza? Seriously?

 

[P0N]

Definitely not pizza. Stick with good simple and complex carbs you know you receive well.

Up your water intake significantly and begin to cut back 4 days out usually having less than 16oz. Night before. No water the day of or absolutely minimal like only a few oz an hour. You should feel chapped lips if your dry enough almost. I would carb cycle depleting carbs 60-40-20g a day as your upping water then cycle down. I would always stick to rice cakes day of a show. Ricks right in with dairy - cut that shit out 100%.

Pizza? Seriously?

It’s been done...I’ve seen a piece or two before a night show to pump up - I’ve also seen a shot of two of vodka, lol.

Bring your resistance bands to pump up right before the shoot or some 15 pounders for arms delts etc ‘backstage’ with you.

Night before prejudging I've done similar. Though I went for a nice steak and a couple glasses of wine. The cheese in pizza can fuck with me a little bit, but red meat, some sodium, and some alcohol the night before usually gets me grainy, hard, and vascular for the next morning

 

[JackSteel]

You’re 5 days out and have no idea? Man it would take some time.

 

[TheChad]

Typically you start 7 days out. Carb up, deplete, then carb up again. The entire week up water intake to 2 gallons a day.

5 days may be pushing it but prob doable.
