    Second Figure Show!

    Hey there! I'm brand new here and I was hoping to get some advice on the cycle I'm about to run! I am 10 weeks out from my second figure show! I'm 5' flat. 125 lbs and 14% bf! I want to be sub 10 by the show! My diet is on point and so are my workouts. I have come this far naturally this time because my first show last year was a disaster! My "coach" was terrible and I was very naive about the whole thing. After my show I gained 15 lbs. Thats a lot for a 5' frame. So I made a decision to just be healthier and make better decisions. When not prepping for a show I do powerlifting and CrossFit (yes I know, most people think its lame )
    Anyway, I am planning to run 10 mg Anavar (5 mg/2x day,) T3 (low dose) and Albuterol (5 mg/day.)
    I plan on starting the Anavar and T3 8 weeks out. Anavar is really so I hold onto my size. And Albuterol 6 weeks out. I took Anavar last year and liked the strength I got. And I have tried Clen before and it made me feel terrible. The T3 is what I really have questions on. My diet won't change but I know I need an edge because I'm doing a pretty big show. I want to take the lowest effective does I can so I don't screw myself up. I am familiar with the tapering rule. I was thinking 25-30 mcg of t3 max? My t3 and Albuterol are liquid!THanks!!

    The best place to start with the var would be this log, she's got lots of info on the var cycle. Though I'm not sure she's tried T3

    Also, I made the decision to change my overall eating habits in December of last year! I have been dieting for this competition with no cheat meals since 15 weeks out! I can post my diet too if anyone wants it!

    Sub 10% on a female that's going to be scary! Your competition won't know what hit them.

    Hey! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! Always interested in girls that compete! It sounds like you have plenty of time to reach 10%

    The anavar should work great for you, just keep in mind that it takes about 2 weeks to actually 'kick in'... some ladies say they get a bit bloated, though I have never experienced this myself I don't think it would hurt to start the var now, even at 2.5mg/2x/day then you can bump up to your orginal plan. I'm just thinking that since you're 10 weeks out, the var would really start working around week 8, and I assume that's when you'll be dieting and trying to keep all that hard earned muscle.

    I also think that you will like the Albuterol a lot, I have used it in the past and had nice results. I took one dose of clen once upon a time, and couldn't stand the way I felt! So you mean that you'll be taking 5ml/day?

    There is some good info here about T3. I haven't used it yet myself, but it sounds like you did some research ie. tapering etc. I spoke to a memeber here about it, and they advised me that your temp shouldn't go higher than 98.7 (I'm going to confirm this # as I'm going off the top of my head here), if it goes above that you need to drop your dose. Also, do not take the T3 when you are not on the var as the T3 will eat away at that valuable muscle.

    Hey there! Thanks for the positive and great feedback! Especially the advice on the var! I think I'll go ahead and do that. As far as the albuterol goes, I read that effective dosing for women is 5 mg a day. The liquid that I got is 5 mg per mL and it's a 60 mL bottle. So I would do 1 mL a day. Is that not accurate dosing on that? And that's good to know about the t3. I've been hesitant about it and I wouldn't do it if I thought I would have a terrible rebound, but if I do well at this show I'm hoping to be ready for nationals this year so I will be keeping it super clean afterwards. I'll be keeping in touch for sure! I'm putting my whole heart into this show so I'm hoping to walk away with a serious sense of pride afterwards!

    I'm a little late, but welcome to the board! As far as your question about the albuterol, I've read it should be dosed at 2-4mg 3x a day. I'm not sure how different it is for women. Are you currently running 5mg at a time?
