Dieting & Competition Prep?
Any good threads on here that are for building a cut diet? Possibly that goes into nutrient timings too

Getting cut isn't rocket Science and it's not that difficult to pull off. It's all about discipline and Doing what you know you Should Do, even when you don't feel like doing it. Give yourself enough time (12 weeks was always plenty for me when competing) and you should be good to go. Your body is ALWAYS changing, especially the older you get, so the only way to know is to Do it and see how you look, tweaking and making adjustments as you go.
Take LOTS of pics. Every 10-14 days at least. Mirror's will fool you.
30-45 minutes fasted cardio every morning at 5am. 5-6 meals a day depending on your body. The more you eat (right) the faster your metabolism cranks up.
The two most important meals are the one an hour before you workout (50-60 grams of protein with simple Carbs like Oatmeal & a banana or Cream of Rice w/Banana) ..and also the one right after you train. Rice & Beans are great carb compliments to your protein meals but You wanna put the protein and glycogen back into the muscles asap after training. The rest of the meals will be protein and veggies. The closer you get to your goal date the more fish you start to eat, and the less steak and chicken. Depending on your body type you may have to add in a 2nd session of cardio in the evening- but again, everyone is different.
If you can find someone with experience to mentor you it's a huge help. Coach's provide an extra set of eyes to evaluate and track your progress making it a lot easier than going solo. Train right, eat right, Juice right, and see where your genetics take you.

There’s a few prep logs going on here you can ask guys questions or just see what they’re doing and emulate it

Yeah absolutely check out some logs and look up some coaches. In reality you can figure it out but I know I learned a lot from my coach on nutrition, metabolism, digestion, and macros. Priceless info man!

I have a pretty detailed log going on currently for contest prep under the Sovereign Labs forum. Might be some info on there that could help shed insight. Also like Joko said, ask questions on the logs and pick the guys brains. They’ll be more then happy to help where they can
