Big Mistake To Drop Sodium!!!

[Praetorian]

Anybody try the new POWERAID ZERO product line??? two thumbs up!!!!

and yah... the whole RENIN - Angiotension I and II mechanism... is what I fear the most post contest... truthfully, my approach is less is best... just get as lean as I possibly can, drop a little diuretic or herbal to help pee out a little extra, and load up.... try not to mess overy with the kidneys as they tend to bite you in the ass hard afterwards lol.

Not really interested in taking Aldactone, as it is also an androgen receptor blocker, and nevermind the 'rebound' when coming off it .

Completely agree....pealed is best plus a bit of mild diuretic for fine tuning only!
Aldactone is a huge mistake...blocking aldosterone will inhibit sodium from being reabsorbed and hence blood pressure falls, inability to carb up effectively. loss of vascularity, no pump....bad scene altogether...stay away from it.

Which brings up a whole other box of worms...normally the overall gets his pro card and one more outstanding bodybuilder is also offered one. So this year as the open is in Sakatoon and the masters, grandmasters and juniors are in TO at a later date is CBBF going to wait to see if there is someone outstanding in TO and if there isn't offer the card 2 weeks after the open competition to someone who competed there. Or are they going to guarantee one to a masters regardless just to have one card at each show? This format of splitting up bodybuilding seems pretty stupid if you ask me.

its actually normally 3 cards. the masters overall always gets one + the overall + sometimes another. Usually in the past the 3rd is given to someone who seems to be winning his class year after year but now with the 202 division, it may be given more often to say the lightheavy/middle winner.
