You know your dry when...

**letmein** · 05-31-2002, 06:30 PM

the night before the show you finally get to eat a steak and potato at a resurant. Your daughter orders a hambeurger and fires and you want her glass of water more than her french fries! Anyone that is tired of being hungry jsut wait until you are thirsty. This sucks. I am leaving for weigh in now and hope tomorrow gets here without a dry wind blowing me away!

I got three weeks still, so the french fries sound heavenly too me

Let us know how you do.....how exciting

**primodonna** · 05-31-2002, 08:51 PM

Best of "luck"... when you get sick of eating on Sunday, give us the details

Yeah, I thought starving was bad but I'd rather starve than go w/o the water. Worst part is when they bring all the chocolate and goodies backstage and you've been dieting forever and would love to eat it, but all you can think about is water

good luck man, give them hell

My dry low was 202 down from 211 on Thursday before the show. In 24 hours I gained 26 lbs. And I ate pretty damn clean. Rebound is hell. I am drinking water like a madman and hoping the tides reside soon! Great show finished 6-7 out of 15 in my class. I am 6'2'' and need to carry another 20lbs if am am to compete with the 5'9" crowd! Not sure it is worth the toll on my 39 year old body! I loved the experience!

**ann** · 06-04-2002, 02:32 PM

26 pds in 24 hours !!!!! Congrats on your placing

It sounds like you enjoyed the experience, just what I like to hear

**MIKE_XXL** · 06-04-2002, 07:31 PM

Hey it's all about the journey, and not the destination...CONGRATS!...XXL

**toopowerful4u** · 09-06-2002, 10:43 AM

Talkin about without water.... im an ex wrestler. Try being 2lbs overweight in the morning, already dehydrated and depleted to the max. You have to take your lunch, gym, and possibly pulled out of a class to hit the stairmaster for 40mins. No food all day and DEFINATLY no water till weigh ins at 5:00 after school. Not to mention you are given gum to chew to make some saliva, and a bottle to spit it in all day in classes. now THAT sux. After weigh ins i would drink a 64oz gatoraid like NOTHING. Then hit the water fountain lol.

**berry** · 09-07-2002, 07:33 AM

drink less water after the show and u will not put on all that weight the bodies antidiuretic is way to high at that stage to keep the water low, i know its hard ,and keep low on the candy and pizza ¡¡¡

**Dr. Derek** · 09-07-2002, 05:43 PM

YOU KNOW YOUR DRY WHEN ITS PAINFUL TO CLOSE YOUR EYES BECAUSE YOUR NATURAL LUBRICATION IS GONE.

YOU KNOW YOUR DRY WHEN EVERY FUCKING JOINT IN YOUR ENTIRE BODY POPS AND CRACKS WHEN YOU HIT A MOST MUSCULAR.

**Pitbull** · 10-07-2002, 09:21 AM

You know your'e thirsty when you want to swallow when brushing your teeth the morning of the show or when you start smelling water from a distance away - Keep it up boys and girls when you stand on stage and the muscles pull the skin extra tight you'le know it was all worth it

Good luck to all
BTW -Mikexxl how is your preperation coming along I haven't been on line for a while
