    Question on slin, contest prep, and water

    I was debating on using slin to carb up the night before my next show. I'm coming really close to the max weight for my weight class when I compete in a few months. I'd say I'll be 1-2lbs from the limit. Anyway, I plan on cutting water 5pm the night before. Weighing in at 8pm, 3 hours later.

    So to my question, has anyone ever shot slin, with very little water intake? Maybe used another source for your nutrients? I was thinking fish, jam, rice cakes, nutella(if it's fat free, idk), sugary cereal, ect.

    Any experience or info on this is appreciated. Keep in mind I am an experienced user of slin. Just never used it in the above situation.

    Wow, hell of a first question. Really wish I had an answer, as I have used a lot of slin myself but never in this fashion. But at least this will bump the thread.

    Thanks for the bump! I've been a long time reader of these forums. Found an answer to any question I may have had up until now.

    Shameless self bump. If nobody has any info on this, I may just do a test run next week and see how it plays out.

    By smooth out, do you guys mean water retention? There will be RX diuretics involved. I may just try this out in a few weeks once I'm closer to my target weight, and see how my body reacts. Does anyone else have experience with this?

    Have you read the Stickies up top regarding slin? If not, look them up. a lot of info there. Just in case you haven't:

    There's one sticky that refers to slin and several threads. decent place to start.

    Will be trying this in a few weeks without the diuretics to see how I fill out. Will report back and let you all know.

    So I ended up cutting water for 12 hours, then shooting 4iu of slin. Used whey, Greek yogurt, dextrose, and egg whites to bake a concoction similar to the macros I would take with a normal dose of slin at 4iu. Everything went fine. No problems with lack of water apart from trying to get my dry ass bars down. I have absolutely no visible water retention while using slin either.

    Hope someone else can make use of my little experiment as I will. Whipping up a new batch of these bars for my show in a few weeks. Honey, egg whites, dextrose, whey isolate, and apple sauce.
