It's a fine line, diuretic wise, between coming in totally dry and holding water.
Most of the guys eer on the side of caution, to their detriment in terms of judging.
Some push it to just the right level and come in perfect. Branch was the best example of nailing his conditioning.
But it's a very fine line between taking enough for perfection and going over. And when you go over it can be really bad. As what happened to Cedric. I have no doubt the though carefully about dosages and if anything it's probably because he was so damn committed to dieting, fluid intake, depletion etc that the dosage went over the limit of what was needed. But huge respect to him for pushing it to the limit. Had he been able to compete we would have seen something amazing in terms of ripped and shredded aesthetics. He might have beaten Phil.
Now imagine if Big Rammy had pushed his diuretic limit to come in just on the dial. That would have been mind blowing.
