don't agree with this either, not only is it unhealthy and dangerous, the rapid decrease in blood volume will cause you once again to release aldosterone and ADH, much better to adopt a more moderate approach of perhaps 2-3 gallons the days leading up to the show, then cut it by 30% a day before the show, then drink enough water to quench thirst the day of the show... but nothing more. Don't forget, muscle tissue is mostly water... if you cut your water too much you will lose alot of fullness



cutting your water immediately off the night before the show would not cause your body to release aldosterone or adh, as you have around an 18-24 hour window before that will happen. there are many, many competitors who use this approach and show up on stage extremely dry. and 5-7 liters a day in the last week will leave you a lot more flat than what you could be if you took in more but i will agree that 4-5 gallons is a bit of overkill, 3 would be suffice for most people.
