Diuretics

Hi guys!

Just a quick question:- What diuretic do you think is best to use before your show? When should you start I hear a week from the show?

Or if you guy can just tell me where on the site I can look?

Thanks

I am not too sure on this... i think DJ will have your answers.
But i know you should use Proviron before a show...

Hey bro, ill try and help as far as my knowledge goes and anyone please correct me if im wrong...

First thing you must understand with water in your body is that it's correlated with potasium & sodium(salt)...

Second thing is, you must keep as much potasium in your body as posible and simultaniusly excrete your sodium in your body (subQ water)

Third thing is, there are 2 types of duiretics, potasium sparing(ie Urirex-K) & non-sparing(ie Lasix)

Fourth thing is, duiretics are extremely dangerous and noumerous bodybuilders have payed the concequinces from just normal cramping to death...so really REALLY be careful, and even more with non-sparing duiretics...

IMHO, if you are hard enough for a show and in your weight devision, their is no reason for you to use duiretics...except if your over your weight limit or look a little soft/smooth a couple of days prior to show...but i must add, theres nothing that will give you that grainy look like duiretics does, but overdo it, and you'll be flat as hell!!!

one last thing...just remember, its ohk if a latt or calve cramps and get damaged...but remember, your heart also relies on that potassium&sodium balance...please PLEASE be carefull! ...grab yourself the latest ME, theres a real nice article on waterdropping for a show...

Also, go grab any electrolyte saches from a nutritional shop, and try to get a couple in straight after your show asap, i use Rehydrate from Dischems' OTC, 1 every 2hours even through the night! You'll feel like a million dollars the next day!

...hope this helps

2 days of diuretics max in my opinion.

Smart reply daar Jean!

I have used the non sparing 1 and took potassium pills with it with every meal. Was fine. Had a calve cramp on stage,but stretched it quickly and went on. But do be very carefull. Most experienced guys will tell u NO<DONT USE IT,U DONT NEED IT. That is what i heard when i asked a friend. Tried it anyway and was surprised at how dry i came in. I wasnt extremely hard before ,but after 3 days of it,i was solid man. No water probs. Just again. Be very carefull and dont take alot. 1 or 2 pills a day was enuf.

Regards

Thank guys. It is guys like you that help the sport grow and people like me to learn from you.

Thanks again!
