I dunno.. I have never been a pro bodybuilder.. I was looking forward to enter competitions next year and approached my gym's manager and he told me this!! I was shocked too!

Edit: my gym's manager is a pro who competes.. n I am in India..

Umm ya ... 2-3 DAYS ... not likely at 2-3 days out I'm still chugging at least 4L a day.

Nasser was known to go a couple days without water before a show. Most guys who cut water do it the last day only. They might decrease intake for several days prior but usually only eliminate it the day before. Diuretics are taken the night before or morning of the show also.

Although this is common practice, it doesn't mean it's the best, smart or correct way to go about drying out.
