[TTimmerman]

you should stop drinking water now at the 2 weeks out mark

[JanesLastResort]

My idea is that you're still holding water, op. Glad to help.

[BartPimpson]

You should summon Captain Planet, he'll know how to help.

Go over to the Contest Prep section a couple doors down.

You should probably go f yourself.

ive always heard that you should increase your water intake b/c if you stop drinking water your body will hold on to whatever water it has whereas the body expels more water with the more you drink. I could be wrong but ive read that on at least 2 occasions.

that's why you have to stop water intake at 2 weeks out. first your body will hold extra water but then after the days pass it'll start depleting the water resources and you'll be tip top conditioned on contest day

ah, ok. Makes sense

[wheels30]

Haha dont listen to any advice in this thread op. I would think your version of "holding water" actually means you didn't achieve the conditioning your looking for. Hit the cardio and tweak the diet. Also increase water intake.

Does that really work? Is it safer than Lasix?

They're both on the same level but Fuking yourself is much more pleasurable with less side effects.

time to resort to protein cycling

[BOUNTYHUNTERMK2]

Cut a hole in your bladder, should drain any excess out.

I believe this is what most top tier pros do to achieve their dryness?

I have it on good authority many do not only this, but 'site drilling' whereby problem areas are targeted with a drill in order to drain water from specific areas to show cuts. That's why Jay's bicep was funky last year, it was due to a faulty drill screwing it up...

[pinjo]

I hold a lot of water during the few last weeks prior to the contest because of the highly stressful regimen. That's not an issue if you can judge your real conditioning and finish the cutting process with as little fat as possible.

Now, from personal experience, drastic changes can only mess things up. The only thing I suggest you do from now on, is to cut a great part of sodium intake and increase the consumption of water. I choose bottled water with low mineral content. This should cleanse your body of excessive sodium and, consequently, water.

Than proceed with the final week as you usually do. Or, if you have no idea how to do the final week, and the proven methods didn't succeed with you, feel free to ask. We'll find an alternative approach. My final week was, also, somethin a bit out of the ordinary.
