hey guys,

My manager at the gym told me about what he used to do the night before a show

he would prep a hot bath (as hot as you can handle) with
-epsom salt
-grapefruit juice

then he would soak for 45 minutes
after said bath he would put preparation H on the parts he wanted to accentuate, put on a sweat suit and sleep with it

he told me this a couple of weeks ago and i'm trying to recall it from memory.

anyway, can anyone validate this formula as my boss is away from vacation

thanx

Whispered words and stories told
Reputations bought and sold
Truths a luxury we can't afford
Always thought I'd lead a simple life
I've learned my lesson
Now I've paid my price
The truth is one thing that can't be ignored
And when I crash into your arms
I'll let the memories drift away
Close the door on what's come before
Turn my back on yesterday
Remember when the world seemed new
The time was right for what we wanted to do
But those days are gone
Killed by the cold
Today I live my life a broken man
Too weak to fight
Too weak to take a stand
Can it be right for someone young
To feel so old?
And when I crash into your arms
I'll let the memories drift away
Close the door on what's come before
Turn my back on yesterday
You shelter me
You comfort me
You know every feeling inside of me
Believe in me
Put your faith in me
And bring out the strongest inside of me
And when I crash into your arms
I'll let the memories drift away
Close the door on what's come before
Turn my back on yesterday.

I hate the State.

I take bath in Epsom Salt but only to relax the muscles, I don't know why you would do it before a shoot.

Also the Preparation H trick doesn't work anymore because apparently they changed the formula and the ingredient that tightened up the skin isn't there anymore

Have you noticed if the salt bath drops your bodyweight any?

In the 90s this was done by some bodybuilders to drop water.

Where I'm at I can't find Epsom Salt in big containers like I would need for this. As I understand it it's magnesium sulphate.

I didn't notice at all !

I'll pay more attention to it next time around, my bodyweight fluctuate at least 10 lbs from the morning to the night so it's tough to know !
