Need some advice about my wife's Var cycle and dealing with water retention
ad
So my wife is prepping for her next show and has been on 10mg of Var for 3 weeks. She is holding some water...not too much but enough that her coach suggested having her take 20mg of nolva EOD. Wouldn't it be better for her to take something like exemestane (6.25 mg) EOD instead? From what I have read nolva doesn't usually help with water retention. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. We are hoping she picks up her pro card at this show!

It would have been better if you had posted this in the ladies lounge .. asking guys for advice for a woman on cycle is a bit out there. I d use and have used aromasin for water retention issues while on cyle.. I d only use the nolva to finish out the cycle to continue to dry her out and harden her up.. just my two cents though I m not her coach .... and if we are being really honest the water weight right now will shed as soon as she comes off the var.. so the real question is does the water weight really matter right now?
Good point. Moved to the ladies lounge. Thanks so much for the feedback. Right now I'm thinking about having her try 3mg of exemestane EOD until she is one week out from the show. Then I'm going to have her dump the Var and stane. Should she run some nolvadex that last week to really tighten things out?
I did some extra research and found some good solid protocols for running nolvadex pre contest ..
starting at about 4-6 weeks out. Be sure to taper up and then back down prevent rebound. (if you don't she will blow up like a water balloon it would be very very bad) Week one: 1 pill ed, week two: two pills ed, Week three: 3 pills ed, Week four: 2 pills ed, week 5: 1 pill ed.
You just became my favorite person on Eroids. Thank you soooo much. To show my appreciation, my next cycle will be through you.
I appreciate that G but I didn't do it for the business.. I do it because I want people to be successful and get something out of what they are doing .. so thank you and I m sure you won't be disappionted
Regardless, you won me over. So now I'm thinking she should drop the exemestane....
if the water weight is really bad run it but a little bit of water will actually assist her in the gym .. she can lose it closer to the contest ..
Is she splitting the dose 5 mg am 5 mg pm, if not she should, I had my lady start with 5 mg a day for a few weeks then bump up to ten.
Yes sir. She did the same. 5 mg first week, then 5 in the am and 5 in the pm.
Water retention is a tricky subject, I would stay away from the nolva and have her blast Stane in a really smally dose like 3 ml a day if it's liquid, this should handle the water retention.
I'm guessing you meant 3mg?
yes sorry bro fucking typo. 3 mg a day.
i wouldn't go every day .. you don't want the opposite to happen and have estro too low ..
Haha, no worries bro. Thanks for the advice. I was thinking the stane would be a better choice as well. Her coach is old school and might not be so up to date on stuff.
