Anadrol 50 for last 2 weeks before show?

I am on a cutting cycle that says I take 100mg of Anadrol 50 for the last 2 weeks before my competion. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but know that some guys do use it up until competition. I know that there is an upside and a downside to using this. The upside being that it will make my muscles fuller due to an increased red blood cell count. I might also use Inj. B-12 the last 4 weeks before the show to increase my blood volume. The downside being that I will probably hold a little more water due to the excess estrogen that the A50 causes, but I think that the diuretic would take care of this right. If I do have too much estrogen floating around, could I use Proviron or Arimidex to stop this? Please let me know if you have any experience that will help me out.

As far as the bloat, think about aldactone running it the final week before the show and yes the provion is def a good idea also. I would have some lasix close buy just in case also. Tell us what else you are using for competition prep. And what is your water strategy for the last few days?

Personally, I believe it's too risky. There are too many other factors in the equation to peak on time. Adding another one, especially one that has the potential to bloat you is not something I would chance. All experimenting should be done weeks prior to the show. I know because i've learned the hard way on that before. Good luck, man.

i think it is a good idea if you are it great shape...and im talking about nasty, tore up, shredded....like you said..it increases blood volume, keeps you fuller, and helps prevent some muscle loss in those last precious weeks...i do think you should be running an anti-e with it though...especailly those last 2wks...like airmidex to keep your cortisol levels lower...and as far as holding water...if your in great shape water shouldnt be a problem...ive seen guys run long acting esters right up until the day of shows and come in looking incredible..why??..because they have incredible conditioning and water doesnt matter much when you have that.

I have 4 weeks left until competition and am currently using 1000mg of EQ per week, 150 mg Tren Acetate everyday, 100 mg Winstrol everyday, and 200mg Test Prop every other day. I will drop the EQ 2 weeks before the competion and I will drop the Prop one week before the competion. I will be running 100mg of A50 the last 12 days and would like to stack it with 50mg of Proviron. I might use Aldactone the week of the competition and my water intake goes something like this: Day 6- 2 1/2 gallons of water, Day 5- 1 gallon 1 liter of water, Day 4 - 3 liters of water, Day 3 - 1 1/2 liters of water, Day 2 - 20 oz. water, Day 1 - 10 oz. water. Does this sound okay?

I also read somewhere on this board that injection 400mg of Amp 1 hour before the the show would bring out some freaky vascularity. I believe the product is made by Synthetek Industries and is called Synthelator. Any expereiences with this stuff guys?

Yes Amp is the bomb but brother i don't know about you water approach, i'll need some imput from the other competitors here. If you are carb depleting and carb laoding you will need the water the last few days to fill the muscle with water. Carb loading won't do crap for you if the water isn't there to be drawn into the muscle. GOOD luck with the 100mg of anadrol overkill ,but if you use it you might wanna bump the proviron up seriously. BTW what are your stats?

water

I wouldn't taper the water off like that. Tapering in that way gives your body a chance to adjust to the water intake. That is NOT what you want. The whole point is you are tricking your body into thinking it's gonna get 2 gallons all the time.As masswithclass said, you need some for glycogen storage. I'd suck down 2 gal of water through Thursday, Friday go to about a half a gal until say 5 or 6 that afternoon, and then nothing but a few sips from then on. You should still be pissing regularly.

This approach works like a charm buffarkie, and Big Man From AR chime in here, we have all been in this position.
