Drying: its sense and process
Athletes, and in particular bodybuilders, use the concept drying to designate the period in the trainings when their purpose is not accumulation of muscle bulk and volume of muscles, but loss of excess weight and formation of the relief of muscles - their ""cambers"" and forms.
The drying period always follows after the period of set of weight because, ""if there are no muscles, then and there is nothing to dry"". Otherwise, the person who has no essential muscle bulk will lose the last clots of fat.
The basic principle of drying of muscles - increase in aerobic loadings and use of small scales with the large number of repetitions and also change in the food allowance. All package of measures promotes that excessive layers of fat leave, ""discovering"" muscle fibers and veins that gives that ""effect of the relief"" which is very much appreciated among professional bodybuilders. Decrease in the consumed carbohydrates and fats during drying and also increase in aerobic loading give the grounds to call the drying period one of the most difficult: at the very beginning of drying process the organism reacts to decrease in the consumed calories very negatively that often results in breakdown and unwillingness to train. Professionals often don't notice this effect because of the large amount of the used supportive pharmacological applications.

Don't forget: to achieve essential result in drying, it is necessary ""to burn"" muscles, and this process demands energy, that is carbohydrates therefore it is impossible to exclude them from the diet. And it won't turn out.
The only carbohydrates which can be excluded from the food allowance during drying - fast carbohydrates, that is chocolate, confectionery, sparkling water, any kind of sugar... These products don't bear any advantage to the organism!
