In these parts it seems meth is the metabolism booster of choice

coffee...... I use it before every race and "drop" at least 7lbs ;-)

I was wondering that as well. Especially the part about wanting to drop from 129 to 122. I see him running throughout the year, sometimes without a shirt, and he looks ripped and lean pretty much all the time.

Although I remember before boston this year he looked even thinner, although I couldn't quite figure out how.

I wonder if a portion of that seven pounds lost is upper body muscle? Maybe it develops during training, but is more of a hindrance on race day?

Salmonella, its all the rage

could he just be using something to clear his bowels?

 

No personal experience here, but I'm guessing L-carnitine

Baking Soda, it is what the track bike racers use to limit lactic acid build up, but it also has other cough, cough, diarrhea properties..So he can kill two birds with one box of arm and hammer!!!

Maybe since it acts as a fat transport. Maybe magnesium which relaxes the muscles, especially the intestines

The lunge potty sounds so much more exciting, though...

Ross Tucker was featured in an interview on Deadspin's Fittish. The article discusses carb-loading, and Tucker mentions that for every ~2 lb increase in carbohydrate consumption, one can expect to gain an average of 6-8 lbs of water weight. So, could he just be taking a laxative or dieuretic?

Maybe it's this: http://www.generationucan.com/media.html
I have no idea what that stuff is, however.

So he wasn't losing fat just dehydrating himself?

It's fancy corn starch. I've actually been quite pleased with it. Weird thing: it mixes better the colder the water is. Truth.

Whatever I ate on my business trip this week sure helped me lose about 7 pounds. My entire system cleared out.

Thanks. Interesting read. This was particularly interesting to me:

I hope not all at once, that sounds painful!

you need to use the Squatty Potty, then you can get out at least 10

Could it be the "Squad Potty" ???

Pretty sure dieuretics are banned since they can be used as a masking agent for PED's.
