Thanks Trig.
At work at the moment (so how come surfing the cactus forum?) but will be leaving early. That's gift enough...
I have been given one gift already - home brew kit. No spikes but still pretty good Very Happy

Thanks Betty.
The gift came with a Morgan's Best English bitter so that'll be my first. I'll be trying various Best bitters and IPAs, the beers of my youth.

Ah yes - that is me.
I used to be a competetive bodybulder. I wasn't very good, though I did qualify for the Mr Britain in 2002.
When I get home I'll dig out a picture from competition night.

A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

mmm so now we know that picture is yours, we will all talk VERY nicely to you. By the way if you've seen a photo of Trig, then you know he looks like JC circa 31BC Very Happy

Here's a picture from the competition 10 weeks after the avatar picture. I lost 25Kg to get in shape:

I always wanted to get huge like that - just never had the discipline. Neutral
is it true you have to dehydrate yourself to the point of exhaustion before you go out on stage?

Not really.
You do dehydrate but if done correctly it's no problem.
Night before the show I would drink a bottle of dry white wine (see- not so bad) and then not drink any liquids until after the show (maybe 18 hours later).
In the mean time I would cram in carbohydrates from complex through to simple sugars just before contest time. The sugar keeps you going and you don't really notice the lack of water.
There are more risky techniques using diuretic drugs which can often leave the user pretty shaky come competition time. On those you do have to consume water and it's a delicate balance - easy to get wrong.

I actually liked the off season a lot more - being big and strong and allowed to eat pretty much anything Very Happy.
