Supplements for rehydration

I am looking for things to help me re-hydrate and re-feed after my weigh-ins. The only supplement I can think of is Poseidon and WMS, but what about GMS? Would that help me to replenish faster?
 
GMS=?
Also, poseidon is def the first thing i thought of. maybe a small amount of creatine mono? but then you chance cramps and all that.
 
Rodja - after my students weigh in for a fight, the first thing they drink is POSEIDON mixed with Creatine Mono. Seems to help, esp. if one of them had to cut hard. My personal choice is the same, although I tend to not have to cut for my weight division.

Good luck!

I believe this is the ingredient in Plasmavol and similar ingredient in Drive that gives you that vascularity. Ive never heard of it hydrating you. Where did you hear/read that it did that?

I figured it would help because it increases the cellular plasma volume.
 
Just so you know when I took GMS I actually was sweating more which lead to getting dehydrated faster. Good stuff tho I loved it.

Not necessarily. Your body is more hydrated and is able to cleanse easier that way. When I am doing my hyper-hydration leading up to my weigh-ins, I am always sweating.

I see what your saying but what I was saying is that even when I wasnt working out I was sweating like crazy kinda like when everyone is on RPM. I did stay more hydrated in the case that I made a mental effort to constantly hydrate while on the stuff bc of all the sweating/dry mouth. Maybe its just me. BTW congrats on winning the Xfactor cycle.

Glycerol-Mono-Stearate-like compound in Drive? Which is it?

Not sure which one? Im sure someone knows tho. I just know that drive expands blood plasma and thats what gms does. Of course Drive does other stuff too which is what keeps me from just taking gms. I got some nice vascularity from the gms tho.

Generally, as you know, a good electrolyte complex should do. Key is to take it about 90 or so minutes after training. This way, the magnesium and zinc in the complex act as initiators for over 300 metabolic processes. At the same time, the contained chromium and potassium ensure efficient integration of carbohydrates into muscle cells. The other electrolytes play a supportive role in the entire scheme.

In Drive...I don't think so. It helps out with cGMP, which makes a bigger pump through vasodilation, but nothing for plasma volume.

I couldve sworn reading that it expands blood plasma. oh well cant be right all the time.

I fail see a link between GMS and the ingredients in Drive. In my opinion, Drive's major strength is not just the combination of compounds, but the synergy between them that creates the exceptional results. All the compounds in Drive elevate cAMP levels directly, apart from Naringin that does it indirectly. Icariin has a way to dramatically increase not just cAMP, but also cGMP levels at the cellular level. Dodder Seed and Icariin works especially synergistically. Naringin, amongst other things, helps increase the half-life of all the other compounds. Altogether, impressive cAMP and cGMP levels! Consumed in sufficient quantities, the athlete has no choice but to experience a lot of nice things including vascularity, muscle fullness and density.

I agree. For some reason I have a memory of reading that it has gms mimicking compounds in it. but i was wrong. sorry to create confusion.
