I think you should drop your water sooner. I go from 3 gallons per day one week out(day7), 2 gallons on day 6 and 5. One gallon on day 4. 1/2 gallon on day 3. 20oz on day 2 before noon - then no more water until after the show. I would use Aldactone to cut water during the last week if you use the above water schedule. If you keep the water in until 24 hours before contest you may need lasix to drop the water soon enough. Dont try anything fancy between the morning an evening shows. If you have to eat, keep it clean and just enough to keep from passing out. I like to keep some chocolate and glucose tabs close during the contest day. If I start feeling shitty - I take in a few more carbs. Same with the water - just sip if you have to. | ||

Thanks gearseaker! Last contest I cut the water like this: Tue - 8 liters I didn't like the result I think that when the body knows it's being water depleted it starts to hold more water. I guess this happens after 3-4 days. I have talked to other that cut it 24 hours and it works great. I haven't tried it so I don't know personally. Any other advice??? ------------------ | ||

I agree with gearseeker , the reduction in water over the last few days is what I plan to do. I have never done it before so I don't what will happen but most BB's who have been successful have done it that way. Other then that is sounds similar to my plans. Drexx , are you using clomid and nova to help your look or just for side effects? Also , how are you practicing your posing? Are you making any changes after going through pre-judging last year? | ||

I forgot to mention: Take the T3 so you are on the highest dose on your contest day. I usually go six weeks on T3 (I start T4 sooner, then switch six weeks out). If you are going up to 75mcg per day, dont taper down until after the contest. You will avoid any potential rebound this way. I do the same thing with the steroids Im using. No tapering until after the contest. If you have competed before, and know what to expect with your water table, you may consider anadrol during the last week. It keeps the muscles full and your energy and attitude up. I used it last year and liked the way it filled me out. I was on nolvadex, winstrol, proviron to control water from estrogen and progesterone and aldactone for overall water loss. The anadrol did not make me puffy - just full. | ||

"Drexx , are you using clomid and nova to help your look or just for side effects?" I am using the high dose clomid and nolva for the look not the sides. If I could afford arimidex I would take that instead. "Also , how are you practicing your posing? Are you making any changes after going through pre-judging last year?" Last year I didn't practice posing enough and ended up finalising my posing routine the week before On contest day between pre-judging and the evening show my legs hurt so much. I couldn't believe how hard it was to stay flexed for a full 15-30 min while you are being judged. I will put much more emphasis on that this year. "Take the T3 so you are on the highest dose on your contest day" You bring up an interesting point. I don't like taking T3 for longer than 4 weeks but I guess I could start it a week later and then taper for 2 weeks after the contest. How does this look: Week____T3 dose I will probably take 50mg of Anadrol for the last week if my buddy has some PA: What is this supposed to mean? "OHHHHH BOY.....i'm gonna have to do a lot of posting under this thread...." Am I that far of base Anyway can't wait for more info ------------------ | ||

T3: don't take too much of this and do cardio at the same time. you'll turn into a beanpole!!! you need to find the right dosage for YOU, and it's different with everyone. the normal max dosage should be no more than 50 mcg a day. why go up to a maximum dosage and then go down after one week of maximum dosage? this is ridiculous, as the T3 will only perform for you optimally for one week. hit your correct dosage about 4 weeks prior to the show, and stay at that level until contest day. then taper it down starting from the day after the contest. for me, it was 25 mcg at the highest. trust me, you will lose too much muscle if you go over the optimal amount of this drug, no matter what gear you're cycling! more to come.....

get the clomid out of your cycle till after the show. this drug may make you retain water, and we don't want that. get some arimidex and use it with the nolvadex PA | ||

PA: I have used T3 @ 50mcg before for a 2 week short cycle and ended up losing 2% bodyfat and gaining 1.5lbs of LBM at the same time. I know I liked 50mcg and I think 75mcg would be fine but I will keep an eye on it. That is why I am tappering up to see how things go. If I notice bad things I obviously wont keep upping the dose. Keep the advice comming... ------------------ | ||

the last week as far as water is concerned....is very highly individualized. just keep working on improving your own way and eventually after enough practice (it took 8 shows of 'practice' for me) you'll have it down and should be able to stick to the same plan year after year with good results. just be sure you are lean enough first. if not, even the MOST PERFECT water depletion plan will not yield adequate results PA | ||

I have never used T3 and Iam considering it for my next show, the only reason why I wouldn't is I know guys that have to always be on it and if not they are fat, is this avoidable. | ||

PA: Why would clomid make me hold water? I have never heard that or seen it's effects. For me it's the contrary when I add clomid to a Test cycle I lose water. ------------------ | ||

I was wondering the same thing as clomid dries me out fairly well. |
