anavar and pre contest

[brianjames]

My wife is 8 weeks out from her figure contest and has been on var for 7 weeks. She started her diet 12 weeks out and her upper body is almost ready but her legs just look like she is holding a little water. She is stopping var this week but i just wanted your opinion about var causing you to hold water. She wants to come in as ripped as possible. I know thats not what the npc says they want but in the shows she has competed in and that we have went to, the most shreded girls seem to get the judges attn. so shes is planning on going in very lean.

Bump, I am in this situation too.

hi anyone can advice on this matter, as my fellow girl friends are also have this pro when coming to contest. will it be the training or diet ? pls advice. tks

i can tell you about the conversation i had with a national level judge that said they do not want ripped in figure. also i do not think var will cause any water retintion at all.

At the last npc show that my wife did she had the same problem after talking with the judge he recommended a anti estrogen for her i asked him if he ment nolvadex and he said "i m not saying use nolvadex but something like that would work well." we took the hint so this next show will be her first show running it, any advice from anyone is always welcome. She plans to run 10mgs of anavar 10mg of nolva and 50mg of clen a day. Any input or advice?

I will be running the same dose of var and nolva as well, without the Clen.. Taking an eca stack with mine. Starting Monday! Definitely let me know how it is going with your wife!! Good luck to her!

I cant imagine var causing water retention, specially in just the legs as you mention.

There are some remedies you can try for removing water but as competitors Im sure your already familar with them all. (water intake, lower sodium, sweat it out in a steam room, diuretics etc)

I decided to start one of those detox cleanse kits with the wife yesterday (just to be supportive to her doing it) and winded up dropping 2.5 lbs in a day despite having not relieved my colon and considering that im already low-carbing and not retaining water weight. I was pretty surprised at the extra loss but might be something you's may want to give a try.

Its most likely not the anavar causing her to hold water in her legs. The addition of a SERM like nolvadex will probably help a lot in this area. Start with 10mg per day in divides doses and assess tolerance. Bump up the dose to 20mg/day if necessary. This will help with a lot of stubborn fat/water retention, especially in the lower body.

:yeahthat: I totally agree with Flex. Also, be careful about coming in too ripped for figure, the last couple show I attended, girls who were shredded got marked down. The softer girls were placing much better.

Also, for my last two shows I ran var up to the day of the show, no water retention issues for me, but ever woman is different, so it's kinda a trial and error process.
