clen
Yes, I'm taking it every day...like u told me to...80mcg/day...20mcg 4x It's been alot more than 5-7 days...more like 13 weeks???? I'm REALLY struggling bc my HR is elevated. It's especially hard when I'm practicing my routine. It feels like my heart is just gonna explode right out of my chest...high intensity I know, but a low intensity fitness routine would be ridiculous!! LOL

Dave? Can you explain again why you suggest that competitors stop working "Legs" one week out from their comp?

Dave,
I've been on your diet for about 11 weeks and have lost alomost 20 lbs...feel awesome and look great too.
i dont compete...just a gym rat whose eating habits got way out of control.
I want to switch from "diet" mode to "maintenance" mode, but don't want any rebound. Currently i do 90 min of cardio a day, 7 days a week and lift 5 days a week.
Really want to stay on the diet, but is it okay for longterm?
...and, can i just switch from 90 min of cardio a day to 30 mins a day without some sort of "rebound". I guess i'm just worried that my body will freak out and the results i've worked my ass off for will be compromised..
Thanks in advance!!!!

Dave,
While water retention seems very uncommon when cycling Var, what could be some possible causes of water retention if it does happen? (Diet, Cardio and Lifting maintained) Any alternatives or suggestions?
Thanks.

last fall my wife was stuck at 6 wks out from a show(jr.new england's). she was doing the same old low carb stuff that she had done before but it wasn't working. So we switched to dave's diet for 2 weeks and things started happening. then we decided to have dave help her for the last 4wks. i was totally blown away at how great she looked so quick. I know a lot of people probable come here thinking hey i will just copy his diet and go from there. but he had her do things in her diet that i didn't think she could do. becasue we were short on time, at 2 wks out dave had her do 5pv to 1pf. and the last week it was 6pv to 1pf. this is just one of the things he did. if any of you ladies are on the fence about hiring him you won't regret it.
oh by the way she ended up winning the masters and placing 2nd in open short. the judges said she was too muscular.... lol

DP: When you train your legs you draw blood and fluid to the area for recovery and this blurs muscle separation. Similarly, the leg musculature takes approximately 7 days to “heal” and recover such that you can see deep, hard, separation in the muscle fibers.

DP: You can stay on the diet long term if you maintain your weekly cheat meal. Going down to 30min cardio should be fine. Just pay attention to your body and adjust accordingly.

Dave, do you recommend any particular types of cardio during contest prep to decrease body fat? I usually use the stairmill but sometimes I feel like running on the treadmill. I've been told too much running can make your legs look stringy.
DP: I suggest low intensity cardio for longer durations. Keep your heart rate under 130 bpm (100-120 is probably ideal). This is the best intensity level for burningexclusively fat and retaining muscle.

DP: Some women do get a little bloated from Anavar. As long as it doesn’t get too bad, you should just deal with it. With time your body will adjust and you water balance will normalize.

Timing
How far apart should the meals be? I wake up at 5:30am, then work from 7 - 5 with 15-20 min cardio at lunch about 4 days a week. I do my strength training in the evenings, the sometimes go to bed around midnight. Should I be adding another meal? I am also taking Hydroxycut Hardcore. Look forward to your answer.Last edited by Cutting it up; 02-26-2009 at 09:46 AM. Reason: question sounded funny

You don't need to add an extra meal. Just space them out better. You should also make an effort to get more sleep. I know it can be difficult, but try to make everything more efficient and see if you can scratch out and extra hour.
If you are absolutely dying of hunger, add in an extra shake. This is a last resort.

DP: It’s not too late, but with this short time frame you can’t pull my basic diet off the web and expect to get results. You need the expertise behind the diet plan to make the changes to get you ready quickly.

I'm wondering what you typically would recomend with a womans diet up to the comp. I've been having amazing results from following your diet and I'm now 4 weeks out. I plan to keep the diet all to the comp and want to ask you: Should I carb up? if so how many carbs, and when? Should I cut the water? if so, when?
