What's your opinion on Sodium Loading Before a Show????
Hey Lori/Darrin!
Have you guys tried this with your athletes and what is the success rate? I tested it out 7 weeks ago but I failed to see a significant difference in loss of water.....your thoughts??

Hey Heather
I'm a total salt-a-holic--i do however add more then cut it out before the comp--it works for me due to the fact that i add salt to everything...but if your body doesn't get the sodium regularly, it probably won't do too much.
How's the diet? Can't wait to see you in 2.5 weeks
Re: What's your opinion on Sodium Loading Before a Show????
Same here..I looooove the salt But I have to hold myself back due to water retention Sodium loading and then depleting works for me I got a tip to have steak with salt and cheescake the night before the show/some guys will have pizza ...I definitely woke up with more veins next day.Then I had more steak with a bit of chips and heaps of salt 5 hours before evening show...I looked ever tighter then in pre-judging

It can be a gamble if you dont know what you are doing.
We had Kelly carb deplete and dehydrate the week of her show and she lost 9lbs from Monday to Friday going from 123lbs - 114lbs. It can make a big difference.

Shees yeah..that is a big drop I guess it depends how much water you tend to hold on day to day basis. I fluctuate a bit and if PMSing I can go 4-6 lb up from early am till late pm
