post show bloat anyone?????

[gooey]

what are some outstanding weight gains here, so far in my short BBing competitive history i have gained as much as 70 lbs post show in about a 3 week period. I formed a bubble of water subcutaneous on my foot wearing sandles. I also have gained as little as 30 lbs. I currently have gained about 42 lbs since weighing in at 220 lbs on sat. 23rd. I still have abs and ab veins, and lines but so bloated and edemic Dont even want to know what my BP is, and yes my feet are killing me.

I gained 60 in 13 days after my first one and then another 10 in the next 7-10 days. i held that for a while, and was strong as an ox! i beched 545 raw at a weight of 241! then that friday i was doing squats, worked up to 635 ibelieve for a set 0f 5-6 and then tried to do a circuit on the leg ext/ leg curl. i got these real sharp pains in my chest, could barely breathe. it lasted about 45 minto an hour and i finally went to the ER. my blood pressure was WAY up there. i dont remember exactly, but they gave me 2 nitroglycerin tabs to bring it down. i was in the hospital for a few days. some of u may remember me posting about this. they werent sure if it was a heart attack or pericarditus--which is fluid in the sac around the heart. the best guess is the second since there was no damge to the heart.

All of this to say... be smart about it! u can really fuk urself up after a show if ur not careful.

yep I ma taking it slowly. Tapering off all the gear and the Antis, hitting pct today as well. Still doing 1/2hr cardio first thing am. Kind of watching what I eat, higher carbs but clean foods. I am up about 20lbs right now and dont want to go much higher than this for at least a week or so.

I dont know how some of yall get right back in the gym after a show. Usually i cant stand the gym 1 month out lol. Ive went from 205-230 within 2 weeks, mind you i also take some aldactone after shows for a week

I hit the gym monday following the show. IMO best time to grow, strenght is not up to par and joints dont feel the greatest yet but the human body is a sponge at that moment and most of what u eat is stored as glycogen and the pumps are amazing. Feels like my skin is going to rip. Feel like about 8 lbs of shit in a 4 lbs bag

i am finally seeing veins in my lower legs again, so much water retention. I prolly peed about 7 times last nite and I still woke up this morning weighing 262 lbs. Fun stuff. I'll start weening myself off the junk, I still am eating same diet foods chkn, steak, rice. Cardio will pick up again n the future. Bloat is fun for awhile and the pumps are nuts but normalcy is nice too.
