Do I still avoid exercising if I tested clean...

[nugget3581]

... with my home test. I usually test myself two weeks after I smoke. I have never failed an at home test. I also take my at home tests on Tuesdays, I lft weights on the weekends, to see if exercise will have an effect. Like I said I pass all my test and have passed my most recent one. My question is, since I passed my home test do I have to worry about not exercising or eating fatty foods before my real test?

I also like to mildly dilute, even though I pass my at home tests. What is the best amount of water to take in for a mild to light dilution? I am 5'9", 197 lbs.

Thanks.

I would still avoid exercise 2 days prior to your test just to be safe. Exercising(sweating) releases thc back into your urine so it could be unreliable to take a strip test. You might test clean one day and not the next. I would just play it safe,don't exercise for a couple days and follow the dillution sticky.

Now what do you mean by "you might test clean one day and not the next". Just as a background I test myself 14-15 days before my actual test may be given. Like I said before I also have never failed an at home test doing the same thing I do every month: smoke 2-4 bowls every 28-30 days, exercise, eat fiber, etc... Do you not trust the at home test? I usually take the one from Walgreens or CVS.

Just one small point, it isn't how much you sweat but it is how much aerobic activity you do measured by calories burned. Sweating is normally the response by the body to increased temperature or anxiety.

If you take a test using the first void of the day an you get a faint line and you have a drug test in the next day or two you probably wouldn't want to do a bunch of aerobic activity. If you get a nice solid line or you have 5-7+ days from when you took the home test till when you have to take the real thing, you probably wouldn't be in danger of failing from a sudden amount of aerobic activity. You are saying you have 14-15 days from when you passed till you have to take the real thing so you are probably safe but be a little cautious. No need to run a marathon the day before! Slight changes in aerobic activity or fluid intake could change a barely pass into a fail.

Thanks Killer for the response and thanks to FBR for clearing up my questions.

I always test using the first void of the day. The line that came up on my last test wasnt close to being faint and wasnt dark. It was in the middle of the two. As far as exercise goes I had lifted weights on the Saturday and Sunday before my at home test which I took on Tuesday morning.

As for the potential real test I plan on stopping my cardio 4-5 days before the test and possibly only having a light workout w/ weight only pretty much 2 days before the test. Of course I will be drinking fluids on that day as well.

It's that you want to minimize the amount of fat metabolized during the time period immediately preceeding the test. The more fat used, the more of it goes thru urine, including its thc metabolite content. Anyway. Just wanted to give further detail there.

But what I don't know is, how long before the test is reasonable? I've always heard two days but if anybody has scientific info to back that up I'd appreciate it
