Cut Off EQ Before Show ?

[akrama]

I have heard that I should cut off EQ 4 weeks out pre contest. What's the reason for that?

Also.. I am stacking EQ with Fina. Do I need to cut off fina also? If so, how far out.

Any info is appreciated.

Regards...

Depending on how EQ effects your diet/hunger i would consider dropping it if it makes you crave food that you need to avoid come contest time. But remember..EQ increases Erythropoesis (increases in red blood cells/blood volume)..and this gives you a better vascular look...just a few things to consider

any oil based gear should be cut out 3 weeks out imo....no matter what they will make you hold a little water. and that will show up on stage.

Even Fina??? I thought fina is famous for not not holding water for athletes.
