Diuretics have killed some very lean and experienced bodybuilders. Just drinking more water causes you to pee more.

you need an AI.. you need aromasin

not diuretics.. that is a foolish way to get rid of water and makes no sense especially this time of year

 

[Lev Butlerov]

Diuretics are a dangerous thing to use, as they may cause kidney failure among other things, and they have killed more bodybuilders than other things. If you want to control water retention on cycle, you need to use an AI, because this problem is usually caused by excessive estrogen levels, and the AI will help to keep that hormone at bay.

Any of us can shove a whole damn 10ml vial of roids in right now and our biggest immediate issue is a damned sore butt. But if we misjudge diuretics we can be dead in a matter of hours.

Long term diuretic usage is a terrible idea. It puts a lot of strain on your kidneys and you will rebound hard once you stop the diuretics. Bloating and water retention is usually due to not taking the proper support supplements.

High estrogen and/or high prolactin levels can cause excessive water retention.

Whenever using steroids that aromatize into estrogen - you need to include an AI like aromasin into your cycle lay out
Whenever using a nandrolone (deca, npp, tren) - you need to include an anti prolactin drug like cabergoline into your cycle lay out

Using diuretics is a terrible idea. What you need to do is control estrogen. High estrogen is what causes the water retention. Instead of trying to get rid of the water, prevent the side effect. Run aromasin from day 1 of a cycle that contains aromatizing compounds. 10mg EOD is a good dose.
