I don't know where you got your information about the limits of human potential but there is no fact antidotal, scientific, or from theory that would back such a horrific claim of only 5 pounds per month!
I remember reading years ago a bodybuilder said that you could only ingest 30 grams of protein per serving, and I could not stop laughing at the stupidly of that statement and it was given by a professional bodybuilder in an advice column.
True, I think 10 lbs in twenty day is a bit difficult to believe however it is very possible.
And what is this thing you young guys got against water weight? What is the human body composition? The average person is 70 percent water and muscles are about the same. If you gain muscle without the increase in water your muscles would have no attached strength because of failed message transmission. Calcium could not send contraction signals to the muscles and potassium would levels would cause the heart to go into cardiac arrest, or sporadic beats if there was not enough potassium available.
Do you really understand what you are saying? Even in the contest times when we are trying to sharpen muscle clarity as much as possible we must still
retain enough water both subdermial and subcutaneous, to stay alive!
Do any of you remember how Mohomad Benazzia died? It was so much more than just diuretics!
