Stopping AI before meet

[Blange89]

I saw someone on a thread saying they stop their ai before a meet. Has anyone every heard of or done this?

 

[Worf]

Yes, herd of it. I cut back on Ai before my meet but didn’t completely stop it. Didn’t want any chance of joint pain.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Yeah, I try to cut back the week of and none a few days before.

Never needed to, what’s the idea behind this? I’ve heard rumors the Russians like Yury stop all Inje tables but continue with orals a few weeks out.

The AI thing is to keep joints from hurting. Never herd that about injectables in power lifting. Bodybuilding yes but that’s a water retention thing. Not sure why a power lifter would do this unless they are cutting weight.

I’ve only really heard it specifically about belkin, he is king of the male wilks right now so I’m sure he cuts to some point. I’ve never had a problem with joints from so then. I was thinking maybe you guys wanted the water retention. I was going to just say salt and water works good enough for me.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Yeah, I just want the water weight for the meet. Never had any joint issues from AI. I lose a lot of water weight taking it sometimes.
