Dayumm girl! you looked great! Even with the pictures being dark and all.... a BIG CONGRATS to ya and good luck next weekend

Just the water deplete can cause the cramps - and esp in the shins that can happen.

You should be ok over the rest of the week. I think its just one of those things that comes w/ posing & holding those poses for a long time. Expel is potassium sparing so it shouldn't really make it worse - but just that situation by itself lends itself to cramping.

Potassium is half the battle with cramps...sodium must also be in balance...any clen??

awesome pics wk! congrats on the victory! I agree that you have a killer back. You obviously were disciplined in your diet.
I wouldn't worry too much about the bruising..that can happen when your muscle get real tight and are close to the surface
You could continue to take a daily dose of taurine and pot until your next show. I've been having trouble w. cramping during posing practice, so I started doing that...seems to be helping

Thanks

No clen......

I did sodium deplete..was very careful as to the foods I ate........was drinking distilled water......

Shadow, are you saying I should intake sodium to match the potassium??? I thought "sodium" was the enemy: and to avoid it at all costs?????

Sodium WILL make you hold water.


Dehydration induced cramps are the result of losing, among other things, minerals..potassium AND sodium.


TO get as dry as you did - it was just the drop in sodium

So I guess I need to suck it up as it's part of the game.......

I'll stretch the calve out all week,hopefully I'll be good for Saturday again.....

Thanks for the input
