Carbing up - water, sodium, and carb manipulation - too full or slightly flat?

I won the USA........it pissed off a lot of people! hahahahhahaha I do not think he advocates lowering potassium the last day.........it is earlier in the week. Sure the concept is great.....screw around with sodium and potassium and you could drop dead........get it right and you could look leaner.....tough decision.

Winning the USA would explain the jealousy...lol

Id like to throw out one thing..........

Its always said that cutting water or tapering will make your body want to HOLD water. Well....it was brought to my attention at my last show by some VERY respected bodybuilders (trust me you all know them, and this was said to me SEPARATELY not together!) that the reason i have trouble holding my fullness/dryness is because i was not forcing my body to hold it......

Was said that condition holds better with a taper. Remember the part about the body hording water when its being restricted. Well the muscle swill hold water better when restricted too, and its going to hold water in the muscles before it does so under the skin. You have to force the muscles to crave that water in order for it to hold it and refuse to let it go.

NEVER heard this explanation until then, and it made so much sense.

Load heaviest on day 1 (when water is highest), lower on day 2 (when water is medium), back to normal or low carbs day 3 (water minimal, and since carbs so low there is nothing to draw water or hold excess). Excess water will keep leaving the body but the body will realize that its losing water and muscles will REFUSE to let it go (unless you stupidly take a diuretic).........

Sounds to me like the old school method makes the most sense now, nobody ever rationalized it before tho...... KISS? lol

AH..HAA..Been waiting for this post. I think this makes perfectly good sense. Reduce water. not sodium in half on friday, throw in a Skip-load on tuesday and do one small shit load meal friday night, saturday morning and post pre-judging and we have close to perfect peaking.

Don't forget to hop on one foot while holding up a dead chicken and chanting "the power of Christ compells you".

But How did all that work out for you?
