Honestly, you might sacrifice some of the gains you made from you
S1+, but I would wait to start the
creatine. The reason for the increased water intake is that the higher water level will act as a natural
diuretic, pulling even more water out of your system during that week. It's all going to depend on the way your body reacts but this would be a general example (or one that I have used)
*last week of cycle-
continue typical on cycle diet
increase water by .25 liter per day the last 4 days (depending on current total intake) of cycle.
Week 1 (post cycle)
(Sun.)
start
6-OXodecrease carbs by 50%
increase water to 2 gallons day total by Tues.
increase Vit. C to 5grms daily
(Wed.)
maintain 2+ gallons water, Vit. C
cut
carbohydrates completely
(Thurs.)
Vit. C
Taraxatone (if necessary, its worked ok for me in the past)
decrease water to .5 liter total
(Fri.)
Taraxatoneminimal water
(Fri night/Sat. morning)
carb load, simple/complex carb, minimal water
--Save the
creatine for the following Sun. This is what has worked for me in the past when I "practiced" for my first comp. There are plenty of other ways to drop water, especially with other prescription methods, but I've found that this was very mild compared to what some friends have done
If you are doing cardio, which I'm assuming yes, I would stick to a HITcardio routine the last week too. I'm guessing that you're not doing a show(?), but this has also worked well for me for a day at the beach too!!
Water retention and S1+, How long before losing water weight...
