[getbig27]

ok guys im as big and as hard as im gonna get and with the gh i've been using my skin is practically transparent so its not a problem of fat % but rather any water that is hangin out under my skin. can u guys offer some tips for drying out before a show??

well 5-6 days out from the show you should carb deplete and water load. 2-3 days out water deplete and carb load. it might be too late now. carb loading while water depleting helps pull the water from inbetween the skin and muscle.

2 days!............Diuretics. Be careful with that shit.

Water load? Mike Francois told me you should gradully decrease your water and sodium the week before the contest. If the contest is on Saturday, the monday before you should be drinking atleast 2 gallons of water a day, and getting 2 teaspoons of sodium total. So on Monday drink 2 gallons and 2 teaspoons of salt. Tuesday 1 1/2 gallons of water and 1 1/2 teasspoons of salt. Wednesday 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon of salt, Thursday 1/2 gallon of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, Friday 1/4 gallon of water and minimal salt. On Friday, stop drinking water around 6-8 PM. Saturday, theday of the contest, you should only be drinking 4 oz. of water per meal. By the time your body realizes you're dehydrated, the contest is over.

Note: the sodium consumed is for the whole day, i.e. SALT YOUR FOOD.

Mike said this worked well for him after the IFBB started testing for diuretics.

I was told that 7 days out 3 gal of water a day... 3 days 1/2-1gal... day of little as possible near 1/2


But for this situation Diuretics.

Good luck at the show.
Is it your first?
