That's not what I took from it. lol

You dropped Creatine, about to drop carbs, starting a diuretic, drinking 2G water a day, you may get lightheaded in the sauna and kidney failure may occur.

Sounds pretty real....

lol fair enough! Never heard of the kidney thing until Hyde. I cut 12-14 once and nothing hurt. The diuretic is new to me.

I'll call it intense when I'm soaking in an Epsom bath and taping trash bags around my body hahah
 
Did you listen to the powercast with Adrian Larsen? He talks about duffin's old, creepy makeshift basement sauna. Make one of your own!
 
When I pulled water for my bbing show and was on a REAL diuretic (lasix ~ 1/4 of a tab working up to 1/2 ran twice a day) I had NO kidney pain. Also, pulling sodium, water depletion/carb loading :/

lol that's funny. I'm on duty fri/sat so no makeshift sauna for me!

I had a burrito for breakfast and weighed in at 224. This is good.
 
What's the other site?

If you feel kidney pain, I feel ya done fcked up. I've never had kidney pain in all of my years of water cuts, just dizzy/lightheadedness. The lightheadedness usually only comes during a sauna or bath. Not sure how Byrd wants you to do it, but you should be fine pounding water until late Friday morning. I'd say have a bunch of water when you wake up, then stop as soon as you start pissing again.

Neither of you used dandelion root, though. Kidney pain isn't normal during any water cut; that's what was so strange. My kidney values on bloodwork are always bang on too - there's no pre-existing conditions, and I had bloods done for work 10 days after the meet coincidentally and they were perfect as usual.

Hopefully there won't be any of that for Sean, but he is taking the same stuff so it was worth mentioning.

Oh, I've used dandelion root many, many times. I was fifteen years old and dropped from 166 to 155 in 36 hours the first time I used it. Hopefully that was a freak one time thing for you.
 
I used dandelion root last meet and I found it very mild. Plan to use it again for this meet.

Sean: if I've been reading correctly, you're going 220, correct? I'm surprised you have to resort to such measures to cut such little weight. Imo, you probably could have done it easily without the stress of a diuretic. As a matter of fact, you probably could have just kept taking hot baths the night before and made it, although I would have water loaded also to be safe. The one thing I hated last meet was the carb restriction. I love my carbs.

Better safe than sorry, but as capo wrote, you got this easily!
 
Just don't drink a bottle of magnesium citrate and crap yourself 20 times in a 24hr period.

You'll be good.

Pizza night at work. I have a frozen pizza that I'll put in when I get back. There's a froyo place across the street from my unit where I intend to eat 2lbs of froyo and crushed candy bars.

First though, is a half bottle of diluted Pedialyte and the other half is mixed into a half gallon of Gatorade powder.
 
After a gallon of pedialyte/Gatorade, 2 pizzas, a king size butter finger, and 18oz of froyo that was mixed with marshmallow goo, caramel, hot fudge, kit kat, Heath bar, graham cracker, and Oreos.....I'm 225.
