Preparation H and cutting up?

SqueezePlay · Mar 12, 2007

It was jokingly recommended to apply Preparation H to the stomach prior to cardio, as it is designed to draw water from hemrhoids (sp), and would do the to other parts of the body. Is there any truh to this, or anyone with personal experience with it. I'd be willing to try it just for knowlege's sake, but I don't wanna find out the hard way that there are negative sides like burning, a rash, or something like that.

ask your self a question, why do you want to draw water out of the stomach during cardio?

answer: you dont!

its common sense, if you aint got hemroids in your tummy, dont put prep h on it....

competitors have done this the day befor the show and wraped themselves up with saran wrap to draw water out, but it is stupid in my opinion... I have never seen it work....

ANSWER

IF YOU HAVE TO USE PREP-H TO GET READY FOR A SHOW MAYBE YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE SHOW.

Preparation H contains:

Mineral oil 14% (Protectant)
Petrolatum 71.9% (Protectant)
Phenylephrine HCl 0.25% (Vasoconstrictor)
Shark liver oil 3.0% (Protectant)

So basically it is a combination of moisturizers and a blood vessel restrictor.

In my opinion reducing blood flow in an area where you would want to encourage lipolysis is counterintuitive.

I agree completely, I was just considering trying it out to see what the specific results would be. The suggestion was made in a subforum of a local board, not an all out forum like pro muscle. The guy was asking how to look leaner for some vacation, and among the diet suggestions, and recommendations to do more cardio, the prep H suggestion was made. There's basically no need for most of them to even be concerned with diuretics or water retention, but everyone wants the easy way to a lean body.

Believe it or not!

Prep. H is used by some beauticians to help reduce the wrinkles around the facial areas where there is excess skin. I said facial areas!!

it will tighten the skin temporarily for a couple of hours. Use during cardio will give no benefits what so ever. At the day of your show if the skin around your belly is loose Prep H may tighten this for a short period of time. it sounds weird but it does work this way. I'm sure there are other skin tighteners that would give the same result without the "pain in the ass".
