Pre-Contest: AMP and Lasix
Does anyone know of any contraindications with using injectible Lasix and AMP at same time (different injections of course)? Lasix for day of contest and AMP just prior to going on stage.
Is there a problem with using AMP for both pre-judging AND night show or does its effects last long enough?

They definetely complement each other. AMP is used in greyhound racing to stop the dogs from cramping. Everyone that uses AMP before a comp realises that they don't cramp no matter how many diuretics they use.
If you do the night show too, you might have to use AMP twice, if it's pretty far appart from the morning show - it's individual.
That is because, as AMP vasodialtes, that starts feeding the body/muscles more as you have more blood going through, so more nutrients are being transported. Because of that, you will run out of nutrients within 2-3hours. As such, the muscles will get flat. It doesn't matter at that time as the prejudging would be over, but you have to eat plenty so you can fill back up for the evening show. If you want to use AMP for the evening show, that is individual.
You can tell I just woke up and I haven't eaten yet as my grammar is all over the place - I can't even understand it myself LOL

AMP for post workout??
Big A,
You say that AMP helps carry nutrients through the blood faster. Would this help in a post workout situation? Faster recovery due to increased nutrient availability? And would it be ok to take with insulin post workout?

That is just a side effect of AMP. Better to just use something like Synthelamin which increases red blood cells in a safe manner and which is efficient long term.
Definetely not a good idea to use AMP with insulin. The AMP will make you feel 'weird', light headed, etc. Same simptoms as when you are about to go into hypo, so you won't be able if it's the insulin or the AMP making you feel like that.
