Not sure how many times I have to repeat myself BUT NO I DIDNT EAT OR DRINK A DAMN THING FROM Tuesday evening after I weighed 218lbs TO FRIDAY AT 5PM when I weighed 198lbs and I know what dandelion root is I didn't take any I took Diurex from CVS
Yes and locking yourself in a sauna until you drop 10 lbs of water and pass out is "hardcore".
Problem is being "hardcore" can do more harm then good to your contest physique.
There is no trophy or award for being the most hardcore in a BB contest.
It's all based on how you LOOK on stage .
I suspect you've now learned that lesson.
Question - Did you spend some quality time with gf ( after this contest ordeal) ?
