robert Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 As long as they are natural, not prescription diuretics, you should be fine.......we all get tested on Friday afternoon. I didn't use any diuretics last week but I was also holding water, not as lean or hard as I could have been, etc. So we'll see how things go this week. See you in 3 days! Yeah Buddy!

robert Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You can take natural foods or extracts, etc. just no prescription diuretics. I just do lots of cardio, reduce sodium and reduce water intake. But they could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I dont see how Giacomo and Robert are lifting for hours right now unless they are eating more than what theyre saying cause I tried today and I swear I got wiped out quick so I ended up on the bike for 20min.

aluck Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You can do this. Get dandelion root crushed powder.. Its cheap like $4.00 for a huge bag... Make it into a tea... or eat it dry. Same effect. Cheaper. Damn... Text me your address... Ill mail you a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thendanisays Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i have seen your pictures. you dont need to be getting leaner right now. if you starve yourself-youll lose muscle. if your REALLY hungry-and you'll know if you are-have a small piece of fruit or a little oatmeal and see how you feel. sometimes its just a little bit that keeps it so you can still function. and as for giacomo and robert-i have a feeling (at least giacomo) that when he NEEDS energy to do something (which he has), he will eat something small until he can do it. as for the dandilion root being expensive-the extract is, yes. I dont know about alabama, but i have a SHITLOAD of free dandilions in my backyard.... boil up some roots and have a tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCNINJA Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Octo, you are doing great. Don't worry too much. You have a great physique. At this point it is about dialing it in, and pushing your water. The dandelion should help. I expect you have cut your sodium so you are good there. Just push the last of the water, get a good tan, and have fun. I have seen the photos, you look good enough to win. Now go out there and get your trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopussoir Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Today its early. I woke up took a shower. Giac got up.. got on computer.. farted... Yesterday we went for a hike, Giac and my cousin Max got lost and had many many fire trucks, police cars, 2 news channels(channel 3 & 5 phoenix) and a couple helicopters looking for them. After three hours they finally were found and were returned safe. You can catch me, Max, and Giac on the news if you search for it or go to Giac's vlog. Yesterday I had about 50 rice cakes. Today I felt it. bloated.... but I still look great. Here is a video from this morning... a little bathroom humor, ha ha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopussoir Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Its 2:17am and just got finished ProTan-ing up with Robert for an hour. We had some call girls holla-ing at us as we were getting our dark on. I feel very confident about today's show. We just found out that whoever wins overall will be receiving a ProCard meaning that they will be a professional natural bodybuilder. I hope I win it. I feel confident enough that I will come ahead of the other guys, but I hope RC and Giac also do very well!!! I cannot sleep as of right now. Im excited... not in the least bit nervous. Ive had nothing but positive feedback the whole time Ive been here and with me being this dark I can really see my potential. Robert gave his speech today and 50 people attended. He is an excellent speaker and motivator. At the end he had me and Giac come up and answer questions about fitness, veganism, and how the two relate. It was great!!! Ah so excited......!
