But what is the point in that if I won’t have the benefits of the supplement during competition? Would any gains in strength and power during training stay?

What about previous day weigh ins, if I do end up cutting it out, would there be any benefit from taking it during my dehydration phase. Or, would this just result in a lot of bloating
