1 month out from first contest help

[landazar]

Hi guys, I've got a quick question. I am not too sure about the dosage of potassium that I should be taking, and when I should start. Can someone help me out please? Thanks.

Why do you feel that you should be taking potassium?

lets start the potassium/sodium manipulation train again?

Stop drinking water 2 weeks before the contest and eat 20 bananas a day.

From what I have read/heard, potassium pills are useless. And even if they werent, you really dont want to be taking them 1 month out. IMOP, if this is your first show, I would not mess with your sodium/potassium. Just crank the water right up through and if you want to taper off the sodium a touch the day before/day of, that might not be a bad idea. BUt, dont drive yourself insane trying to really swing things around. The benefit is not all that great and the risk is very high if you screw it up, you can really put a hurting on yourself (and your physique).

i'm guessing this is all in effort to come in dry on contest day. There are better ways to manage your water. I use a small amount a few days out and keep some handy in case i start to cramp. Are you planning on potassium loading?
