Thanks

I plan on getting a couple more... but I've been advised not to, particularly if I'm going to return to competing.



It depends on the individual's approach to be honest... their water and electrolyte manipulation schedule for example.

Personally, I start loading 3 days prior to the show.

The first two days are the major loading days... the final day is just maintenance.

i.e. I assess my condition (or that of my clients) and I add carbs where necessary.

If i'm hella full... I only take in small bites of protein... because any more carbs will be counterintuitive.

Do you cut water the night before a show and reduce sodium intake the day of the show if not using diurectics???? I was told by Ronnie .....that those who mess around with salt manipulations... could fail miserably
