Coach, you know I love you, so please take this question without any assumption of attack.

Lasix can severely deplete potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium. I know you said you are taking potassium with the lasix, but it's hard to gauge what the balance truly is between how much Potassium mEq's you're putting out as a result of taking lasix versus replenishing with oral potassium supplementation (unless your getting daily metabolic panels via blood draws).

Do you worry about the effects an imbalance in Potassium can do to your heart? You can develop arrhythmias (irregular rhythms of the heart), as well as even die if you have too much or too little potassium running through your system. Not to mention that Lasix use can also affect your sodium & magnesium levels as well, which can also wreak havoc on your body (too little magnesium + sodium can cause seizures amongst other things). Too little calcium can also affect your heart causing low heart rate.

Is this contest or the idea of getting in great physical (not physiological) shape at this stage of your life even that important or worth it?

You're a handsome young man, very successful with your businesses and have great ties to your community. Is that plastic trophy with the associated chump change that comes with it as an award worth your health/life?

One, I appreciate but that post was pure sarcasm because of most saying that bodybuilding is "all drugs". I've been around long enough to avoid diuretics if needed and definitely a loop such as Lasix. As it is now, as of today, no diuretics will be used in this prep.

Pretty sure his comment was a sarcastic one.

Aside from the inherent sarcasm in the comment, it's still part of the necessary evils that these guys go through to get in that kind of shape for a mere few hours of stage time.

Extended life with wife + kids > 2-4 hrs of pageantry for schmoes + plastic trophy with amazon gift card.

My comments are merely out of love and care for Coach, who I genuinely respect and appreciate on many levels. I know many stupid professional bodybuilders that unless they were bodybuilding, they would probably be locked up or working hard towards it via the sale of illicit drugs. Coach is not one of them.

Coach, when did you officially start training for this competition? Can't believe how fast it went.

You know some of the things I say are the truth though

And not one of my posts aside from sarcasm do I not acknowledge genetics and all the other factors pertaining to compete at a high level

Some things you say are true but "All drugs" isn't one of them.

Right now during the depletion. Right now I’m at 45 and it’s in the form of cabbage and spinach. But during the entire prep I kept them at around 200-250.
