what is the cocktail you are talking about and what is it for.

RS56 - the cocktail is half an ABB Carbo-Force liquid drink + 1-2 tbsp. glutamine select and 1 tsp. added salt. Mix this up and drink 30 mins. prior to going on stage. It makes you extremely vascular and gives you quick/fast energy (Carbs) without the sugar rush or spill over affect. The only thing I discovered with it (as well as Sully).. was that I needed to dilute the Carbo-Force with water. So I mixed 8 oz. water with 6-8 oz. carbo-force. It worked very well for me in 3 shows! Sully or Va may add more - but that's the general idea of it.

Brochas thanks for the info I have a show in 3 weeks and will need all the help I can get. I will try it out. Will I be able to sip water for the night show after drinking this.

RS56 - If you scan under the Contest Prep section - there are numerous posts on water issue the last week, back to back shows, two down one to go, etc. Most by Sully and Va Mad Dog about the water issues, the carb force drink - what to eliminate, etc. I just did 3 shows in 5 weeks.. I limited my water to 32 oz. in a.m. before pre-judge and about that amount before night show. I didn't bloat, felt as tight and full for the night show as the pre-judge. This so far has been the best method for me and I'll continue it.
