Is there anybody you know that has tried Vince Taylors protocol for diuretics? Would be interesting to see whether there's any other cases of people whom see it returning to the muscle before other areas. I'm pretty clueless about diuretics and have no experience of them, but it's fascinating to hear about people's experiences with them. I put diuretics in the league of danger equivalent to DNP. The kind of stuff that's just too hardcore and belongs on the pro ranks.
No I don't know anyone that tried it that way, except obviously seeing what competitors look like the days after shows with diuretics and it's not pretty because many or most go on insane binges immediately and drink gallons of water. Often the rebound edema is such that guys debate going to the hospital, it's that bad, can't fit shoes on foot etc. I told my buddy I would take just a little diuretic a day or two after the show and he did and worked well. Gaining 60lbs in a couple of days obviously could fuck with your heart and kidneys.
As far as leaving it to the pros, they don't "know" what they are doing and the coaches don't either. I mean if trouble comes they don't know what their bloods look like, for example if potassium is high or low. Take some potassium for cramping when already high and it's a heart attack. My buddy was in the US once with a pro and I got a panicked text about the pro violently cramping in the hotel room asking me what to do? I don't know what to do, all I said was call the ambulance if in doubt because the guy has family. He was fine in the end, poured salt in his mouth.
I'm writing a lot of text in my posts, apologies if irritating lol, but I thought "my" way is a little elegant. You have several days low dose use, you don't cut sodium or cut water, you can carb load hard and still be somewhat in control. Usually guys cut water and salt some time on friday and then take the diuretic so I feel it's more guesswork, what you're going to look like in the morning, whether you slept or not. But in the case of one Dyazide I don't feel it's usually dangerous because guys have so much water from the drugs so they probably should be on diuretics anyway
Regarding the DNP, still it's something everyone denies using but some say all the gurus sometimes use it while denying.
it. I haven't used it myself but seen it used and read a bunch about it. My only concern would be getting eye cataracts, small chance but I would kick myself if it happened. Today it's often used at only 100-200mg a day whereas back in the day they would be taking a gram and running into problems. Those who say it's easy to kill yourself with it probably don't know much about it. Yes it's easy in the sense that it's easy to take 5 caps instead of one but don't take 5 then!
It would be attractive to me if I was a competitor, take it for a month at the start of a prep, could mean you are a couple of weeks ahead at that point just by taking one pill.
