Although, it did take more cardio than normal, and less food. If anything, I looked better the 2nd week, so I suppose you could do a "mock contest" 1 week out and get away with it no problem. I wouldn't do it though - that's alot of suffering to go through just to see...Personally friday and saturday of a show is when I feel the least like competing. Cramping up like mad, dehydrated, not able to sleep etc...not something you want to do unless you have to!
I have had problems with that in the past too Steve. What do you do to stop cramping. I don't get it cause you are mostly still drinking water until Friday night. Is there anything you can do/take?
