Need rehydrating tips from the gurus
My meet is this Saturday. I have been real beat up and feel like crap, but I am resting this whole week. I will weigh-in on Friday morning @148. I have 24 hours to gain as much weight as possible. I will have some help from my buddy who is dropping to 198 from 210-212ish. I don't have much to lose, but would actually like to put back on more weight if possible. Up until the last few months I was weighing between 158-162. If I could get my weight anywhere near that, I would perform much better. So, who has experience, knowledge, any ideas?
So far I know Pedialite/water will be my main liquid consumption for the first 5-6 hours after weigh-in.
I need to have some good ideas for carbs and whether to drink protein shakes or not.

C'mon. I know some of you know a lot about the body and nutrition. Any advice is appreciated.
What would be your own plan if you were trying to suck as much liquid into your body as possible? What types of carbs, timing, etc.?Last edited by Chris Rodgers; 02-13-2007 at 05:02 PM.

personally i would go to crazy worrying about putting weight back on- if all you do in the 24 hours after weigh ins is eat and drink water expecially after being dehydrated you will fell like crap for you comp
Way down this road, in a gym far away, a young man was once heard to say, "I've repped high and I've repped low, No matter what I do my legs won't grow."
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses, too. Trying to cheat these sissy workouts he'd do. From the corner of the gym where the big men train, Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain.
Where the big iron rides high and threatens lives, Where the noise is made with big forty fives. A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees, A very big man with legs like trees.
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack, Chalking his hands and monstrous back, Said "Boy stop lying and don't say you've forgotten, Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN"

I've heard gatorade or even diluted gatorade is excellent. One other thing I've read is to stay with the (8.8) things you normally eat. Maybe load up more on creatine?
I would think fast acting carbs, protein. Small meals, sorry all i've got.Remember, to get big, you have to get strong. The two are interconnected. Lift heavy, work hard, and size will come. Like night follows day. It works. Arnold

You want to weigh more on Saturday than you do now?
Not gonna happen with fluids, unless you are taking something that would cause bloat.Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

No Joke, Pedialyte. Its meant for babies who are suffering from dehydration that can kill them, so its pretty potent stuff. Tastes TERRIBLE, but will rehydrate you quickly. Everyone on my team would pound the stuff after weighins

i would use the dilute gatorade... going crazy with just water could leave you hyponatrimic (low serum sodium) and have you feeling weak as hell
at least gatorade is somewhat balanced in electrolytesLast edited by the doc; 02-14-2007 at 11:35 AM.

Gatorade is designed to dehydrate. Someone posted a thread on it a while back re: the ratio of sodium to potassium.
I vote for pedialyte.Last edited by Holto; 02-14-2007 at 12:59 PM.

strange... what evidence is there? Obviously they would dispute that claim. So many sports programs use it... and yet it decreases their athletes hydration levels and therefore their absolute performance? Originally Posted by Holto

Pedialyte is what I will be using. I got that tip from many other powerlifters. I am actually going to be drinking 1/2 pedialyte and 1/2 water for most of the day. I have also decided to take some creatine with a few hiogh carb drinks. I will most likely eat a few solid meals(I'm thinking Pasta and pizza). I was also given the suggestion of eating large amounts of simple sugar(Swedish fish/twizzlers) to help spike insulin and hopefully absorb the liquids better. We'll see how it goes. I also bought a large bag of potato chips to add sodium to what I eat.
So basically I get to eat like someone who is between the age of 6 weeks and 13 years old.
