sunday start prescrip diuretics 25 mg am+25mg pm (aldactone)+1 gallon water
monday same diuretics plus eca 2 twice a day + 1.5 gallons
tuesday same diret plus eca 3 times / day + 2 gallons
wednesday same d eca 4 times / day + 2.5 gallons
thursday same d eca 5 times per day + 3 gallons
friday same d eca 6 times / day +4 gallons stop water at 4 pm continue taking diuretics with every meal and keep the same plan with the aldactone am and pm
Sodium load starts saturday week out until wednesday...no sodium thursday onwards
Carb load wednesday and thursday...high wed..lower thurs...no carbs friday until dry...then you can eat almost anything..pizza is great! Just dont gorge yourself...2 slices is best with some gatorade and 5 iu slin...look out!

Now, dont you need sodium to carb load right? Seems your trying to depleat sodium and load carbs at the same time.

Having some sodium is good, besides its hard to SL without any. If you load sodium and then all of a sudden try to deplete, your body will be like WTF??? and will end up holding water as a result. I usually keep my sodium pretty high and the last week on Mon maybe start to lower it slightly until its time to shitload. I try and cut it in half from what I normally take in. But thats me bro, cant say it will work for you, I can handle high sodium.

It is dangerous to use prescription diuretics - plain and simple. Get it wrong and you will miss your peak and/or end up in the ER. Drying out can be done without prescription diuretics and can work just fine.

I will agree with VA here and say that diuretics CAN be dangerous if you aren't familiar with them. Be very cautious.

Drying out without diuretics can be done IF you are not on aromatizing gear like long estered test, and/or have a relatively strong anti-e like femara, arimidex, etc..

Get some test in there and you are good to go. Preferably a shorter estered test like prop.

big_byrd52 - You have been waiting for awile for clarification. I'm not 100% sure what you are asking about but I'll give it a try. IF you are using a Rx diuretic such as lasix you would NOT take it with each meal. The six in lasix comes from the fact that it should have an effect for six hours. People who take more before that time frame get into big trouble fast. Now if you are talking about nonRx diuretics you can take them more often, perhaps as much as every 3 hours or so. To me taking a diuretic with every meal would be too much too often. So a non-RX diu in the am and again in the pm would be about right.

You are exactly right dp - I have read many posts and was trying to share some things that I have read from other sources that seemed credible to me. I don't think that you have to use every product out there in order to provide some information about it. Too bad you did not bother to reply to Big_Byrd the first three times he asked for clarification, perhaps he would have had the answer he needed.

my question is about the way friday is laid out in the first post. does it read friday same diuretic am/pm, eca 6 times / day +4 gallons stop water at 4 pm. this is where i am confused:
" continue taking diuretics with every meal and keep the same plan with the aldactone am and pm" does that mean aldactone am/pm and the eca with every meal? i think so, just want to be sure.

big_byrd52 - The original post is a little confusing. I think that your interrpretation is how I would understand it. There is another thread in this section on the topic of diu that you might want to look at.

A few of the guys who know what they are doing have added their comments. That might be helpful to you.

from the way this sounds, you will better off to use something like Expel. the thing with the deplete & load is that it can be very tough to time. i would tell you that if you look good & are already dry, & you should be if your diet is on point, dont mess with anything. keep doing the same thing all the way in & just use Expel to drop your water the last several days. too many ppl, me for example, mess with deplete & loading. i have learned that if i look good dont mess with it. keep everything the same. just roll in & drop your water. it doesnt have to be with any exotic diuretic. why mess with something that already looks good? just tighten it up & step on stage...

my .02 cents...
