The Thing Is That I Was Hitting The Sauna After My Work Outs But I Feel Like All The Water Is Going To My Lower Abs Maybee Its Just Me. I Shouldn't Be Retaining This Amount Of Water..

could be your diet, check how much sodium you have, if your retaining water on those compounds and the sauna isn't working then it might be something in your diet

if it is your diet then a diuretic won't do anything as the water you lose from it will come back once it's out of your system

be very careful with diuretics.....you can get severe electrolyte imbalances when taking diuretics recreationally. depending on what it is they can deplete your potassium and you may find yourself in an e.r. if you dont know what you're doing. be careful, i would recommend not taking diuretics.

diuretics should only be used as a one-trick pony to clear out water retention a few days before a comp or photoshoot... other than that, it has no place in a cycle because of the electrolyte issues mentioned above. for the same reason, sauna's not the best way to shed water because of the electrolyte displacement that occurs, which can send your equilibrium into a tug-and-pull tail spin.

the best ways to control water retention during a cycle is:

- lowering salt intake
- drinking enough water
- having lots of tea, esp. green tea, which works as a natural diuretic
- taking an AI if water retention is a result of aromatization from the gear you are taking, even if it is short estered like prop (which in itself, is not a guarantee of no-retention)

Yah diuretics are a short term fix, but they do work. If you're wanting to look lean for the weekend like i do, theyll work. They actually work best, and this is highly dangerous, if taken with alcohol. Alcohol dehydrates you which can make you cling to water, if you take diuretics with it you will be pissing lean in just a few hours. Cannot tell you how not good for you this is though. And that may not be the case for everyone, i just know it works for me

Alcohol advices are always bad in bodybuilding discussions.
