I'm actually a day out as well but a good buddy of mine is competing tomorrow and he has followed his coaches plan. I know there are a number of variables but he was wanting advice on what he could do to correct if there are any issues- figured I'd see if anyone knowledgeable had some input they could give.
Protocol so far (not using a diuretic)
10 days out- water loading 3 gal
Week of:
Mon- 3 gal, cut 1/3 sodium
Tues- 3 gal, cut 2/3 sodium
Wed- 3 gal, zero sodium
Thurs- 1.5gal, zero sodium
Friday- 1 gal, zero sodium
Basically he is thinking he may not be tight or filled out enough which is where carbs and sodium come in. I'm not a coach which is why I wanted a 2nd opinion but he won't spill over Saturday so long as he isn't drinking any water so he could always add carbs.
More wondering what the impact would be of adding sodium Friday night/Saturday morning after the water drop.
Any input appreciated!
