I do not understand the extreme diuretics use. You don’t NEED to use ANY diuretics to get literally bone dry. Maybe - MAYBE 1/2 a dyazide 9-10 the night before prejudging. That will absolutely not hurt you. Fckn around with minerals and electrolytes is a game of Russian roulette.
Maybe I’m just ignorant, but I was with a buddy the entire night before a major national show. He was 230 lbs and fckn so dry you could shine a bright light and it was like an xray on him. His skin was so thin it looked dangerous, like it would tear if he moved too fast. Even he used a half a capsule of dyazide and other than that had just drunk a ton of water each day and cut it out Friday early evening.
Now you have to be freaking shredded - but if you aren’t shredded no amount of diuretics in the world will do anything more than fckn kill you.
If you use Lasix - you are a fckn moron! Like Brian’s dumbass. I know idiots use it but it’s not needed and it’s a disgusting nasty thing for a BB to use. That drug is something that is definitely needed, but in a hospital setting.
You may be right but the top coaches still use them. Even your buddy felt the need to take half a cap of Dyazide even though his skin was see-through. Plus loaded and cut his water. Why? Because you think you can always get a little better.
Regarding loop diuretics like Lasix. I saw Milos' plan for Wolf in 06 or whatever it was. Like a week out aldactone was put in. Aldactone is a mild diuretic that might be prescribed for even some acne or hormonal problems in women etc long term and it prevents sodium resorption. A negative effect is that it can increase potassium levels which can stop the heart. Then the athlete depletes and loads aggressively with insulin. Sometimes this makes you hold subcutaneous water and sometimes they intentionally load until they start to spill. So when the load is finished you now take the Lasix or Bumex or whatever to "finish off" and hope the water comes out of the skin and not the muscle, which of course often doesn't work that way. Lasix depletes potassium like crazy so the hope is that the aldactone has built up potassium stores enough so you don't cramp or die lol. This is hardly just Milos who does variations of this, remember when Jay failed for 5 different diuretics under Aceto lol.
I'm sure you know all this but maybe some here are interested in what they may do.
I had somewhat different ideas. I cautiously recommended my friend do the following. Start small doses of Dyazide on previous sunday or monday already. Don't cut water or sodium yet or not at all through the show depending on the look. Then you can increase or decrease or cut altogether the Dyazide as necessary as the show approaches. Taking a Dyazide the night before and you're hoping the Dyazide works just right, flushes just the right amount of water. Sometimes diuretics don't seemingly work at all with a single dosing. My buddy was very good in several years doing this and once was "hardest in show."
Anyone here compete or prep guys and have an opinion on this approach?
