It all depends on the person.

Quite frankly zyzz had a hardgainer bodytype which makes it easier to achieve maximum leanness while adding muscularity through volume training and proper dieting. Of course this is all in conjunction with steroid and pro-hormone use.

So for me to recommend a diet and routine would require me to know bit more about you....height/weight/body type/etc

If you are zero carbing it the week or more before, you will want to carb up the night before...

however given that you are not zero carbing it, your glycogen stores are already somewhat filled and if you carb the night before you risk pre-contest bloat from the carbs. The only carbs that will avoid a bloat are simple carbs...as complex/fiberous carbs tend to attract water and also give a "fatter" appearance while in the GI tract. Some people are different than others however.

The reason I said 1 hr before is that the day of contest you are usually highly dehydrated. Any food you consume is going to be very harsh on your system in a very dehydrated state.

Everyone has their own way of doing it, but for maximum vascularity with minimal bloat....simple carbs 1 hour before is generally supreme (when on a regular cut, and not a zero-carb cut)

Help me out with fish oil pills.  I currently take spring valley fish oil pills which is 1000mg of fish oil and 300 mg of omega-3's.  I've read that it is alright to take more than the recommended 3 per day, will the extra few fish oil pills help my health in the long run/short run? or will it even benefit me at all to take more than 3 caps?

im 5'10'' just went from 210 to 180 in the past 3 months, body type is now fairly lean not under 10% bf yet but very close, can definitely see a four pack and very define adonis belt.  I want to shape my arms and pecs a lot more though, any tips on this?  I eat very clean and lean, stay away from breads and sugars.  I currently have 15'' arms and they definitely peak, i just really want them to be bigger and my pecs to shape.  if a picture is needed, i can post one, but what kind of arm and chest workout do you recommend for a week?

I see, I Will be on a zero carb cut ( aside from my asparagus ) Ugh I hate the stuff now which is near minimal carbs.

So I will probably be doing a little carb up the night before, and the morning and yes I understand the dehydrated part, I can see my self getting sick from eating to many sugars though w/o water...

THank you for the advice.

What's a good example of a post workout meal?

Depends if you are cutting, bulking, etc.

Give me your height/weight and goals
