sodium cut/carb load

[landonm5]

Precontest when you cut water/sodium for water weight how many days do you normally before your show? you think two days , . . if show is sat then cut sodium/water back starting thursday. . i did a little diff last year. wanted opinions. Also, some say when carb load. . for etc that thurs/fri then your muscles hold water more with sodium in. . SOOOOOO. . that being the case , if so. . should i keep sodium higher longer??

As far as water goes, I've cut it as early as Friday night and only had 8 ounces on Friday, but the last show I did, a guy at the gym had me taking 1 gal Monday, 1.5 Tuesday, 2 Wednesday, 2.5 Thursday and 3 on Friday by 5pm. Then nothing from 5pm to the time of the show. As far as salts, he had me cut it on Wednesday

So you do have a trainer preping you for this show? I cut water out on Friday along with sodium.
