    How far out from show time are you & how are you noticing the changes? Are you getting sufficient / good quality sleep? Also has your diet changed dramatically at all?

    I am 10 weeks out right now. I am just really lethargic and almost sick to my stomach. My sleep is actually ok. My diet has changed. Low in fat higher in protein and mod carbs about 100 g .

    Have you had your thyroid checked lately?

    yes - feeling this way 10 weeks out is not good. I used this way when I used too strict diet - too low Kcal intake and too low fat intake or too fast dropped carbs (when I used carb cycling diets) or had too much cardio with it. Now I feel first energy-strenght dropping 3 or 2 weeks out.

    So you may overdo something in your plan.

    To supps - I am from Europe, not that big market here and also I was always lack of money. Usually watched out two things - glutamine and BCAAs, to vit C I added D vit - which helped me with immune system a lot and E and A vitamines. As energy booster I used caffeine before training- but only for last 5-6 weeks.

    I had my thyroid checked about a month ago and it was normal.

    Proper diet and training are key to preparing for a bodybuilding contest. Always be within 15 to 20 pounds of the contest's weight requirements. Maintain weight using low-level aerobic workouts that do not raise the heart rate above 70 percent of its maximum rate. Do these workouts before breakfast.

    Determine the appropriate diet and caloric intake in preparation for a show, based on your body's fat composition, and consider how many calories the exercise burns as well. For instance, if your heart rate is 100 beats per minute, or BPM, you burn about 500 calories per hour in training; 115 BPM burns 750 calories per hour; and 125 BPM burns 1,000 calories per hour of training.
