Timing for Pre-Contest Taraxotone

[Purdue Power]

I was wondering for how many days out am I suppose to take my diuretic(Taraxotone)? The bottle says not to take more than 3 days straight, but the bottle itself lasts for 10days. Should I run it starting 9 days precomp? Should I stop taking it once I stop my water intake the day before comp?

hell no! Don't run that for 9 days your body willl rebound harda dn you will hold water like crazy. Either that or you will totally fuck up your electrolyte balance.

Start taking it the thursday before the contest and all the way through until the show is done. Take postassium with it. You can start taking the potassium on wed. if you would like. Keep taking both even after you drop the water (about 2pm on friday afternoon).

when is the contest?

The contest is on Sat, Aug. 13th. It is the Greater Knoxville Classic. This is my first competition, so this is all a big learning experience for me. I bought some of NOW's potassium powder and have been putting it in my pre- and post-lifting shakes since I can't eat bananas now. How high should I jack up my intake once I get closer to comp?

I was taking six 99mg Potassium pills the day before and the day of my contests. I was taking 3-4 for a week leading into it; no cramping at all. I had my training partner doing the same, and he was good as gold that way as well.
