Competitive Bodybuilders

What sort of "supps"....

OK, who here has at least once diet for a bodybuilding competition, or a serious photo shoot requiring to get sub 10% body fat?

Dieting for 'the summer' isn't included (in this poll).

I myself have dieted down to 7% body fat. I can't see myself donig it for a little while. It was for a photo shoot in stead of going into a competition which i was unable to compete in.

i personally before have .. hit around 75kg@6.5%BF (using calipres) .. not to compete just to see how i looked at that level

no carbs (or very little) and limited water.. sent my brain into memory loss.. for 6 weeks. I forgot what my pin number was on the card and had it eaten up by the ATM including forgetting peoples names whom u see everyday.

When u watch Mr O vids.. the guys on there aint slow there just really tired from all the dieting.

Currently dieting now. Not to compete, just to see how far i can take it.

I don't look good in sluggos.

And I don't like shaving my body hair, ick.

I'm around 5.5-6% by calipers.

Being cut is overated.

god you must've been dying. When i was around that zone (under 10%) i was drinking around 4 liters of water a day, usually more.

Remainds me of a guy a work (a particularly hairy guy at that) who shaved his whole body from top to bottom because some girl at a club said she wouldnt hook up with him because he was too hairy. Anywayz a day or two later, he gets out a can of shaving cream and a razor and voila! Silky smooth arms legs and chest....only to come up in a terrible rash in like 2 days. Every pore had a tiny little pus filled pimple looking thing and a red infamation around it. All over his body, he looked like he had some sort of disease!

Next time he got himself waxed (again whole body but they wouldnt give him a brazillian because they were chicks and it had something to do with sexual harassment) So he shaved down there and walked around the next few days constantly scatching himself...very disturbing. Problem was, the skin closed over the pores due to the waxing and he got ingrown hairs all over his body again!

He's now talking about lazer treatment for his whole body. Gonna set him back just under $3000! Its not evena s though hes built, hes like 5'6 and weighs 59kg. Short and skinny...soon to be smooth short and skinny.

Had the same experience when I got my chest waxed (shits n giggles) was nice for about 2 days then BLERGH mad breakout for 2 weeks. Uncool.

I wax all over, except sack and crack.

Shrek real men dont wax, they use Gaffa tape

i had the same problem with waxing. good thing is it gets less and less each time. had it done 4 times over 8 months by a friend and the redness and breakouts almost stoped by last one. also how u look after skin after it is important to. to keep skin clean need to use good oil removers and always clean clothign. forthe first few days try not to sweat to much. and then each night use tea tree oil on your skin to clean it and remove any bad bacteria.

Only 1 other person (besides) myself said yes. On a board called Ausbb.com it is a bit of a puzzle that...ahhhh....

im gonna try knock up the missus soon and then go stupid on bodybuilding "supps". try and hit 85kgs this time at sub 10% BF without going stupid or losing my mind and forgetting the bankcard pin or where i put the keys
