    Carb up and water manipulation.

    What happens if one would go on a carb up and a sodium load and dehydration 8 day protocol if the body fat is around 10-12% instead of sub 10? Would you still look better or would it have an opposite effect on the way your body looks?

    I doubt it would make a damn bit of difference at that level of bodyfat. Sodium manipulation and cutting water don't have beneficial effects on natural athletes anyway...

    The easiest way to know is do a trial run and see how you look...no one can tell you for sure what will or won't work for your body.....do not rely on what you hear and read: experiment and learn what works for YOU!!!!

    Pretty much this at that percentage BF. I look relatively flat all week, have a cheat on Sunday while watching football. I wake up from my nap highly vascular, and am like that most of the next day as well.
