Well obvoisly there is a chance of something unexpected happening with any kind of use. The more you use the greater the risk. Normally popping a couple of diazide or maybe a lasix and you normally are fine, but you never know. For someone who has a heart problem the risk is greater and death may result and did at last years Masters Nationals. For someone who may have an existing heart problem and may not know it, popping a diuretic may kill you. Take a look at the guy I trained for this years Masters Nationals on the Positve board, I used no diuretics and he was pretty dry.
i have always used aldactone in my prep. 3 out of 5 times, it would cause cramping, but not bad enough to keep me from doing my thing onstage. the incident in this clip is one of 2 times that it was pretty bad. i decided at that time to NOT use any dieuretics for my final competition, the 2007 north americans. the pics i posted are from that show. no dieuretics!! i learned a little too late that i just really didnt need them. oh, well.
