Hey Bro, first of all you look great, if you deal with your water properly you will look a lot better come show day, i could post pictures of me 18 hours before the show and then prejudging, you would not belive the differance...it's like those silly ads for Cytodyne's Taraxatone, fat guy to ripped guy, i might do an article about that for this forum, first i must find time...but anyway, if you pinch your outer hand and get about 2 mm of skin fold that is all skin, ok...now pinch your abs and lower back, feel the differance, that my friend is water under the skin, skin itself has a 2-3mm fold then we must subtract the little bit of fat that we never quite diet off and what you have left is water...how to get rid of it, cut the water 18 hours from prejuding and if you have prescription diuretics then Dyazide or Aldactizide are my favorites take 25-50mg 1 hour before cutting water (as it take 1 hour for those diuretics to become active) then wait till about 12:00am (midnight) see how you look and either take one more 25mg dose or leave it alone, most people should just leave it alone at this point most tend to over use diuretics, thikning it's all water but some if it might be fat...if you do not have prescrition diuretics then Taraxaton or Dandilion root...the are very slow acting so you must start them 72 hours before prejudging to get results, i would say 500-1000mg of dandilion root every 12 hours...paint, i have a different systenm the Big R i go one coat of ProTan firday morning, about 6 hours later 1 caot of JanTana and then another coat of that 6 hour later, some tuching up on saturday morning of the show and i am good to go, stay warm in the pump up room that will insure vascularity, not too hot that your are sweating but warm, wine helps with vascularity for some, my wife gats crazy vascular from wine...i usually eate some simple carbs for 3 hours before pump up and then drink 250ml of water as i am pumping up...i do not agree with no carbs for the last week, as it might make you flat...but you know your body better then i do so your call on that, i hope that helped a bit...XXL
