whats the trick to back to back shows?

[jdmille500]

thinking of doing a another show but it is only one week before the other. is this stupid to try? the second show is the important one to me. curious about how you would do your water? but i wont do the first show if it is going to mess me up for the second show. plaining on using some type of diuretic for the second show, probably aldactone, starting 5 days out from show and then add Dyazide the day of show.

I am in the same position. SHow this Sunday and next Saturday. Would love to hear responses. Also, when is the best time to start using dandelion root (herbal diuretic)

well i don't have experience with diuretics or anything of that nature. However the biggest key IMO is not pigging out after the first show... which most people tend to do.

I agree with Layne. He kept me from pigging out and I took first two weeks in a row and snatched the overall in my 2nd show looking better than the 1st, IMO.

I didn't plan to. I was going to have a bowl of oatmeal as a reward and then get right back into my depletion on mOnday (argh). I don't have experience either, but I was told by someone who looks great and who has been successful that she doesn't do the water load and deplete thing. She just drinks one gallon per day right up to the show. ON show day she just sips as needed. She takes dandilion root and cranberry (herbal diuretics) starting a few days out from the show. I cannot water load, as I get very nauseaus with more than a gallon of water, so I am thinking that this maybe the way to go.

how did you do your water? were you able to get dry for both shows?


is a diuretic like Dyazide out of the question for back to back shows. is it to harmful to your body? most people are saying that you can take this the friday before the show around noon, then again around 8pm, and then once again first thing sat, before prejudging. if needed again after you eat before the night show. ive never used a diuretic and dont know much about them. does this sound right, and is it ok to do this diuretic cycle of Dyazide on back to back weekends or is it too harmful.

better to ask your question about diuretics in the steroid section as there may be more that have experience with it there.

Brian kept his water at 2g everyday up until show day, then drank as much as he needed to quench his thirst on show day

[Trapzillaoo7]

I have never used diuretics. Have no idea about what they do to your body. I just got as lean as possible following exactly what Layne set for me. I do everything he tells me to a T. Except for eating more than I should have after my last show. Yup, guilt still kicking my butt, Layne!

[str8flexed]

eh, you're so lean that your body probably soaked it all up :)

in theory, what is going to happen to my muscle mass if i get really dry for the first show without a diuretic. the second show still being the one i want to peak at. am i going to loose a considerable amount of muscle in this rollercoaster ride of water in my body. down 5-10 pounds of water, up 5-10 of water, and then again down???
