Aldactone diuretic question

[JB25]

I need a question answered from those of you who have competed in a bodybuiliding show and have used this diuretic. I have access to Aldactone/Spironolactone but have never used it before. I was wondering how many days out from my competition will i use it, how many miligrams per day? How many times per day do I use it before the the show?

thanks.

1 aldactone, 2x/day for 3 days prior to comp. however, this is something that you need practice on before contest prep to see what your body can handle. i've seen some amateurs on lasix and aldactone have a real hard time making it through their posing routines.

Good advice aldactone is not as harsh as lasix, I assume that you have 50mg tabs. Myself I do 40mg lasix and 50mg aldactone for three days prior comp. I add a little extra K and flush my system with water I do not restrict fluids, however I restrict sodium but do not eliminate it from my diet. This is a time tested and proven that works very well for me. You need to find what works the best for you.

how long can aldactone be detected in a urine sample after last dose?

Ive never used aldactone but my good friend just won a nat'l qualifier taking it. He started on 1 per day starting monday through thurs and 2 on friday. Drank 1 gallon of water on friday up til 6 pm then drank very little after that. was very dry and ripped.

Okay, So it sounds like i need to order 50mg tabs right? I'm thinking I take them the last 2 days before the contest (thursday/friday) and not drink any water these 2 days. Is that right? How many doses on thurs and friday, and at what miligrams?

1 50mg in the morning 1 at night. Experiment I get better results drinking water flushing my system.

If you take that much you better drink atleast 1/2 gallon on thurs and 1/2 on friday or you may run the risk of dehydrating and not being able to pose at all.
