Advice about Sodium depleting

[Bobsta]

A bit off topic but since Glycerin was mentioned by opti, some use this as a pump agent to get massive pumps in their workouts, i tried it once but it made me a bit sick, i think i should have started with a smaller dose!!

Glycerin

This is a weird one. Not too many guys have tried this stuff, but I’ll tell you what – it’s potent! This is a new tip I picked up running with a circle of elite powerlifters.

Powerlifters, as you might know, rely on explosive strength to power a weight up one time, and one time only. They don’t care how big a muscle is – only how strong it is. But one thing powerlifters do care about is having everything feel “tight.”

They wear specially designed bench shirts that are so tight that they make their arms pop out forward. They wear tight elbow, knee, and wrist wraps. Heck, I’ll bet they even wear tight underwear! Whatever it takes to get the weight up.

One thing these guys do is get the muscle feeling very tight and full before the lift. It adds a measure of security to the muscle, and it makes them feel more powerful. It’s a trick that also pumps the muscle up like crazy. It involves glycerin loading. Here’s how you do it. You have to find some pharmaceutical-grade glycerin, which isn’t hard. Just go to your local drugstore and get some. It’s a food-grade product, so it’s easy to get. It’s very, very syrupy and almost sickeningly sweet, so be ready. To load, you take down 50 milliliters of the pure glycerin, and for every 10 milliliters, you also down 20 ounces of water. Do this approximately an hour before your workout. Trust me – you’ll be pumped. Give it a try!

.. I mixed mine with 700ml water ... was still manky but it definately helped maintain the fluid intracell after cutting the sodium.

been thinking about the use of a herbal D to assist in water reduction and remembered you have to watch the drop in potassium as a result. Ideally if you are planning to do a sodium/water load you will want to anchor and maintain the drop in your fluid with potassium (tricks the body into contiued water loss) ... something like Inspra would work but very risky messing with your sod/pot balance and then throwing in a diuretic of this potency ...

you need to know exactly what you're doing ... not really my cup of tea :nod:

Anyone considering this should ENSURE they get the right med advice.
