I have been looking at doing a 7-14day cleanse in mid july. I will be preping for America's Strongest Man under 231 (105kg Nationals) directly after the cleanse to defend my title. I have never done a cleanse before so I am rather worried about a low protein intake since many cleanses have you on just fruit and veggy juice. Does ANYONE have feedback on how the cleanse effects performance? I would also be taking the time off from the gym.

I don't know anything about cleanses but I would think aminos would limit muscle atrophy. A google search indicates soaked almonds as a good protein source. Good luck with nationals Zack!

I tried it once...plan to take the week off from lifting. Last thing you want is to be in the gym and your colon blows...
