I am two weeks out from my first figure competion. I have read, researched, studied, asked around and I have learned a lot from everyone who has been there done that but I find the last couple of weeks in particular to be very confusing because there are so many different opinions on what to do. I have trained and dieted hard but I do not feel ready at all, probably partially because I do not know what to expect. My upper body is very lean and definition is great but I feel very flat as I have been on a very low carb diet (1/2 cup dry oats am is only carb other than green veggies). If I have a refeed day I fill out nicely and I do not think I have actually lost very much muscle because I am just as strong at the gym. My lower body however I am really struggling with. I have noticed pretty dramatic changes the last few weeks but for only being 2 weeks out I do not feel lean enough. I am hoping some of it is water and will come off during peak week. I guess my question is for a figure competitor coming in almost too lean in her upper body and a little flat but still struggling in the ham/glute area how do you suggest I plan my peak week as far as sodium, carbs, water, training, etc?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you! http://assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
