Oh yeah! Between the sparring mode and vasodialators, I could pound a gatorade and eat a bag of chips and in half an hour look like superhero vascular.
Sodium is important to maintain good extracellular fluid levels for circulation, but you guys are slicing it razor thin, and only temporarily.
I could barely make it through the 10-12 sets I was doing months ago lol
I’ve just got a bit more to give now. Wanted to try out FST7 but will probably be swapping to something more traditional HIT once I’m feeling up to speed.
Misery in a bottle. Lasix sucks. Definitely jeopardizing health to get the skin that thin & crispy when already in a prolonged deficit.
Honestly, with the way they affect hydration levels I can’t see that being beneficial, but I also don’t know if there is any affinity for certain cells (skin) over others (muscle).
Diuretics work by removing excess salt and water from the
extracellular fluid compartment of the body, which includes the fluid in the bloodstream (plasma) and the fluid in the tissues (interstitial space), such as the skin, to reduce swelling (edema). They do not specifically target “skin” or “muscle” tissues for fluid removal in an isolated way.
The fluid within muscle cells (intracellular fluid) is generally stable and less affected by the immediate action of diuretics than the fluid in the interstitial spaces. The mechanism is as follows:
Diuretics cause the kidneys to excrete more sodium and water, reducing overall blood volume.
This reduction in blood volume lowers capillary hydrostatic pressure, which encourages the excess fluid that has accumulated in the interstitial spaces (e.g., in the skin, causing edema) to move back into the bloodstream to replace the lost fluid.
The kidneys then process this returning fluid, and the cycle continues until the excess fluid is removed from the body.
Therefore, any effective diuretic used to treat edema will help pull fluid out of the skin, as it is part of the extracellular fluid space where excess fluid accumulates

Tweaked my left leg this morning when i was stretching so i just passed on quads. Hips and lower back have been very tight lately, then this added on to it. Just going to take it easy on legs for a bit until things calm down.
P.S
If I just spam-liked your log, dont think I forgot about you specifically… I’ve just been unplugging from the forums a bit and caught back up today. With everyone. So yes, I’m still following along

Need to figure out what’s going on with these migraines. Shits getting hard to work through.
Buying a blood pressure cuff to start checking under the hood.

Feeling ready to start adding some volume so I’ll see where my fatigue takes me. Have been considering other programs, so may pull the trigger on that when i feel like it.
Been so focused on career priorities that ive let other things slip.
Still training, still on diet. Just laser focussed on getting my family out of this fruitless rainbow wasteland.
