Post Contest Diet Tips

NJ Bodybuilding Contest Post effect

You did it!, you did your first, 3d or 20th bodybuilding contest. You feel proud of yourself,  EXCITED for your supporters, and friends who were there. And, now you are ready to keep working hard!

But at the same time, you feel emotional, hungry and worn out. Those who have competed can attest that bodybuilding competitions are extremely tiring, and we all feel exhausted afterwards.

Fortunately, it’s possible to quickly recover from your pre-contest preparations and the rigors of the competition itself by incorporating some basic post-contest concepts into your diet, exercise, supplementation and rest routines. The post-contest stage of bodybuilding is all about recovery, replenishment, and rewarding yourself for the extremely hard work you’ve been putting in over the last several months or even years.

Here are 10 things you should do immediately after your competition to avoid binge eating on the post contest stage:

• Dropped out distilled water and hydrate with regular water
• Add electrolytes to your body at least 2 times during the day
• Have a meal with hymalayan salt or sea salt spread out throughout your dish
• Sleep for at least 8 hours
• Stretch your whole body to flush out extra toxins and tightness from posing and tension.
• Take a bath with epson salts to reduce inflammation after contest, from posing, stress factors and any over extended joints that may have occurred from hyperextension during your posing and pre posing routine!
