Dyazide??

[DannoMight]

I was wondering what would be the best way to take dyazide before a sat comp. I'm going to stack it with 50mgs of aldactone. I'll be starting the aldactone on monday but this is the first time for dyazide. I was thinking of taking 1 25mg dyazide 36hrs from prejudging on thursday night. Then another friday morning and one friday night. Depending on how I look on saturday morning then i may take another half or whole one.

It depends. This is really something you should have figured out weeks ago through trial and error. It amazes me how guys will bust ass for months training/dieting for a show-only to roll the dice with their last week's pre contest voodoo and pray for the best.

All that really matters is how you look at prejudging. Therefore I always played with my sodium, water, carbs, diuretics, etc 4-5 weeks out and tried to time everything so I looked my best on Saturday morning(when prejudging is usually held). Remember, diuretics have a rebound effect and they don't affect everyone the same. Generally I'd start mine(aldactazide-basically an aldactone and diazide combo similar to what you're taking) Weds night, then again Thursday AM-by mid day Thursday you'll look pretty good-take another Thurs evening and you'll look even better. Friday AM take another-but the rebound will have started and you'll look kinda shitty compared to thursday(very tough to deal w/ mentally). Take another Friday night and start posing all night long and you should start hardening up. Take another Sat morning a few hours before pre judging. If you're still not hard enough-take a small amount of lasix as a last resort. Other variables to consider are how much water you drink over these last few days, carbing up, etc. That's why I say figure this shit out in advance. Once you get it down, you'll never have to worry about it again. Good luck.

Well I aldready did a show a month ago and used aldactone at 50mgs ed starting on monday and did the same at the show previous to that so I really didn't want to do 3 runs with diuretics in less than 4 weeks.

With the aldactone anly I still felt like I was holding a little water in my lower back and lower abs. So this time I wanted to add dyazide because I heard it really gets you dry. I will be carbing up on thursday and friday instead of starting on wednesday. I always seem to peak the night before my las 2 shows and want to place higher than 3rd and get my national qualification.

Hey bro, cracker is right on, I only use aldactone with dyazide now, I start the aldactone the wensday before at 100mg ed and then I run dyazide thursaday at one tab, friday at 2 tabs and the just aldactone the saturday while carbing up, I had to play around with it to see what worked for me, those are tricky to get used too and see how your body reacts to them, I highly doubt dyazide will overdry you, so I wouldnt worry about that too too much, but just see how you look the week before, start the aldactone like you said at 100mg and go from there...Good luck brother..

Sweet bro thanks to both of you for the input. I'm always on the hunt for useful info.
