The last workout before competition according to FC (thanx) 10 days out for legs 7 days out for everything else...any other thought I know most pros go 7-10 out for legs and a minimum of 3-4 out on the rest...any comments thoughts etc. how bout cardio?

Hi Astral..I'm from NY too!Anyway...I agree on the legs...last workout 10-14 days out.I generally do my carb depletion workouts on Monday and Tuesday b4 a Saturday show.I split my body into halves,except for legs.As far as cardio,I try to be lean enough to stop about 7-10 days out.If not,I will keep it in until Sunday b4 the Sat. show.What show are you doing and when?Lotsa,luck.Let me know if you have more questions or need more opinions. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Thanks guys, I truly appretiate the input
the wife and I are going out for the Mr. and Ms. Millenium NYC local championship at Hostos College
on July 14th. the plan was going to be stop all training on the 10th and start carbing up on the 12th...we happen to be on a freindly basis with Rich Gaspari who to the mrs. reccomended if we seemed to be staying smooth that streching out the pumping workouts and walking cardio till the 10th would be fine. Its nice to hear educated opinions when your mind is teetering on these things especially when they line up, with the low carbs thing goin on.
If you guys happen to be in the Bronx stop off at 230 Broadway theres a gym with my handle...
if ya find a better one in the Bronx, I'll eat squat bile. If not give us a yell at the Millenium! Thanks again bros and best of luck to you too! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
