INSPIRATIONAL FITNESS MODEL - pt 2 Getting Lean!

Inspirational look at pre-competition dieting from FAME fitness model Jamie Barnard, taking us into the strange and challenging few hours the night before competition when the body is dramatically affected by carb depletion and lack of water. This is all part of the techniques used by bodybuilders and fitness models to have their muscles looking at their best for the day of competition - but it's also one of the most challenging aspects of preparing for the stage.
This is part two of four taking you through the whole competition experience. Part One is though the video response below.
Jamie is a qualified personal trainer based in Central London

Ripped yes, lots of muscle no

[STORYOFSHIRTLESS]

@SicSeb this video is one of a series of four. This one focusses on the night before competition, when the muscles are quite flat. If you take a look at next part, you'll see it's about 'pumping up', which brings the muscles to full size. It's not really fair to comment on this athlete's musclarity unless you've seen all the series - check him out on stage, he's got lots of muscle and size, as the judges confirmed.

lack of water?? I thought you were supposed to drink tonnes of water for your abs to grow

[STORYOFSHIRTLESS]

@RationalTheism - there's two ways of doing it. One is to trick your body into thinking it's short of water - but drinking lots and lots in the few days before, then suddenly reducing. The other more traditional way is just to cut the water right down just before comp.

want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause (oooh)

I will travel across the land

Searchin' far and wide

Each Pokemon to understand

The power that's inside!

[CandyLaStar]

that seems dumb... your body needs water and your making your body suffer to be at your best? seems very unhealthy and an extreme to be doing that... but whatever eating fatty foods is unhealthy too i guess...
