Re: Water- Retention question

Damn bro this bring back memories bro!!! Thsi has to be the worst feeling for any BB IMO!!! I have had it happen to me the last two out of three shows ive competed in brother and it is totally not a good feeling!!! do to the use of diuretics in comp your body will usually rbound pretty bad if you dont continue to run diuretics after ur show and taper them down so ur body doesnt react the way it did!!! i had this happen to me when i did southern states as a teen!!! I ran diuretics up till my show to lose water nad i discontinued there use after the show and i rebounded really bad!!! I think i gained like 25 lbs in like a week!!! I was so swollen that i couldnt even wear normal shoes do to water retention!!! I went to the Dr and he told me that i was suffering from what was known as third spacing i!!! i got back on some diuretics and continued there use nad slowly tapering down off of then and my symptoms were back to normal in like 3 weeks or so!!! Good luck bro!!!
