As running any type of test will show, water retention is always going to occur. Is running ancilliaries during the cycle (A/L-dex for example) enough to bring down the level of water retention or can an over the counter diuretic be used. the only problem i have with the latter is you need some water (a natural level) in your system to have good workouts and in essence function as a human. When lifting you need "grease" on your joints and ligaments. What do you guys think.
