Most accurate caliper is steele Harpenden caliper. Plastic caliper is not as
accurate.Measurements get taken on right side of body, as in chest, back,
bicep, tricep, kidney, subrailiac,abdominals,quads and calf. Always go to
same person for... measurements, everyone has different technique.Try do
assesments same time of the day, as one tends to hold water later in day, which
affects the result. Average bodyfat measurements - male bodybuilders 2-4%,
female bodybuilders 6-8%,female fitness athletes 8-10%,bikini athletes 10-14%
CARBING UP - There are different ways of carbing up.Best is to experiment with
a smaller competition and find out what works for you.The basic principle is to
decarb Mon-Wed before the show.Increase water intake, peaking by Wed, thereafter
slowly decreasing water intake. I do not believe in cutting water intake,
otherwise you don't carb up. Carbs should consist of sweet potato,
potato,vegetables,rice and should be increased each day.It's important to
monitor your condition daily in mirror,making sure you do not overspill (smooth
out).It's popular with athletes to have a major carb up meal (pizza,ice
cream,glass of red wine) on Thu or Fri eve before the comp.I prefer the
steak,chips,red wine option as it is less sodium consumption.It's crucial not
to carb up on junk food if you are not hard enough.In that case it is better to
stick to 'clean carbs' WHAT TO EAT COMPETITION DAY? The most important rule is
to keep tummy flat, don't want a bloated tummy on stage.Eat less protein, as it
doesn't carb you up.Stick to basic clean carbs,eg oats,rice cakes,bananas.Stay
clear of sugars, it can smooth you out in a matter of minutes.Safest is shortly
before you go on stage.Sip water throughout day, allowing carbs to be
absorbed.Eat small meals throughout the day keeping tummy flat.There are
various ways of carbing up, eg sodium loading method.I find this risky, seen
too many athletes doing it wrong! Rather play it safe.You don't want to ruin
months of hardcore training and dieting in a couple of daysthat case it is better to stick to 'clean carbs' WHAT TO EAT COMPETITION DAY?
