Sauna

[TBernard]

I wasn't sure where else to post this.

I have an extra layer of body fat that seems to be keeping me from getting the cut/six pack look. I am probably right at the 12 to 14% and want to get to the 8 to 10% range.

I eat very healthy, lift hard 4 days a week, the other 3 I play some basketball. I decided that I needed to get the water out of my body. So I have cut my sodium down big and have tried the sauna.

I was told tonight that if I do not drink water while in the sauna, and then wait up until 30 min after leaving the sauna to not drink water, it is more beneficial. I have never heard this before, and if it is true, I am all aboard. If it is not true or harmful, I want to make sure to drink plenty of water.

If anyone knows if the drinking water myth in a sauna is true or not, let me know.

Thanks!

You'll surely be dehydrated. There's a possibility you'll see abs, but I really don't think there are any benefits unless your going to take your shirt of in front of girls right after. I would'nt leave my body dehydrated that long. The best way to avoid water retention is keep the sodium level low and drink plenty of water. The more water in, the more out. I think what you look like in the morning is pretty much where you are realistically.
