Contest prep

finephysique · Aug 28, 2005

Hi I am new to the forum, I am a competitive bodybuilder from Ireland. I got a link to this site from Big A's posts on MC.
I am planning to use injectable Lasix and Vasiolator for my next show after reading some of Big A's posts, I know how to use the Vasiolator but am unsure about how and when to use the injectable Lasix to shift the water. I have used a number of oral diuretics in the past but they tend to leave me flat so want to give the injectable a try. It is dosed at 100mmg/ml can anyone help me out on how to use it, and also if I need to manipulate my water any differently.
I currently drink 10 litres up to the Thursday before a saturday contest and then cut it back to 5 litres on the friday which I finish around 7 p.m. I then take in very little fluid from then until after the pre-judging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I personally can't stand Lasix at all. If something is gonna leave you flat that would be it. It's pretty tough to control imo. I'm sure some people are way more experienced than me on it so maybe they can help out. I honestly think that if you do your diet right, get lean enough you can really dry out without using diurectics at all. Maybe just a little Dyazide or something. Lasix is pretty strong stuff.

You have to experiment with diuretics, as everyone reacts differently.
Lasix inj is good if you know how to time it.

Once you take a diuretic, first you lose the water from the muscles and blood vesels. Then the water from under your skin.
Several hours later, the water from your muscles and vascular system returns. Hours later, the water from undere the skin returns too.
You want to walk on stage when the water has returned into your muscles and veins, but before it has retruned under your skin.
When that happens is up to your individual body/circusmtances, so that is why you have to experiment in advance.

Thanks for the reply. What sort of dose would you recommend experimenting with BigA? Like I said it is 100 mg/ml. I have no problem getting super lean but always have trouble keeping the last bit of sub-Q water away.

You're sure it's 100mg/ml? Inj lasix usually comes in 10mg/ml, 2ml amps.

Anyway, I say 20mg at a time. You will start peeing within minutes and finish within an hour. So you will know exactly where you are so very predictable = very safe.
