Welcome to the board !!

welcome miss muscle

Anavar will give you mild muscle growth, but get you really hard and lean.. it is a perfect pre-contest drug. I personally have not had a rebound from var, but like with everything else, your body does not stay rock hard off like when you are on, so in that sense, that was the only "rebound" i experienced.
If you have a clean diet, you will NOT gain fat, but just some really nice lean mass and you will lean out for sure! You can not really bulk up on var unless your diet is off the hook in calories.. but that goes for anything. There is no such thing as soft when using var that is why i love it so much!!!

Pre-contest i would start about 12 weeks out if not sooner. You can run it right through your show too.. holds little to no water.

hope that helps

and do yourself a favor too and run a search on anavar to pull up all the past posts on the topic!! It can only help

welcome aboard and good to have you!
luv super

Ms.Muscle,
I have trained several females who took var pre-contest. Each were dosed differently depending on several factors (ie.weight, cycle experience, etc). The "average" was 10mg for 10 weeks righ up to the show. Fortunate for them, there were no side effects at that dose and cycle length. There were no massive size or strength gains, but they all said that they recovered quicker, kept their muscle while dieting and felt harder. None got "big and bulky." Its difficult to judge the rebound because all used a dieuretic, Clen, and Nolvadex as well, so any of the above can cause a rebound, but I don't think the rebound from var alone is that bad. Hopefully more girls with actual experience can give you first hand advise.

Thanks for all the advice- I have researched other posts on this site and will continue to ask my trainer for specifics for my next show- now the hardest part will be finding it!
