1st Cycle (Anavar)

SevenEleven

New member
I havent purchased anything, curious what you all think of this cycle for an MMA competitor.

35 years old
180lbs
dont know BF% but fairly low - abs are visible.
5'10
competing November 9th (not going to be tested) @ 175lbs

Anavar 50mg ED
Milk Thistle
Garlic Tabs
E.C stack (no asprin) 200mg caff. 24mg E

Should I be taking a post cycle therapy (pct) after this?

Any other suggestions? I know it is recommended to combine a test with this but I dont want to risk the weight gain.

Thanks for reading.
 
If you're going to be taking Anavar then you really don't need the PCT, not for anavar. If you're not going to be tested then you really probably want to switch to Equipoise since it will definitely give you a boost in your endurance which if you're going to be doing MMA you'll definitely need. Look if you have any other questions about a specific cycle you can PM me, I've worked with many fighters over the last ten years and used to fight myself (I have trained in Bjj for over 12 years and used to compete in Muay thai before that).
 
What is your cycle history??? Have you ever taken Anavar (var) before??
What is your current training routine (list all days and approx routine, i.e. mon-bjj, tue-run, wed-stand up and weights, etc., etc.)
And, how long have you been "competing" at mma and how many times have you been in the cage total??
These are all very important things to know before giving SOLID advice.. Plus somethings to keep in mind..
1) You are right, its not advisable to take oral anabolics without at least a base of test. Yes, it can be done but its just not optimal... but we'll touch on that later.
2) Although Anavar (var) is a somewhat mild anabolic, its no joke. Its effects are very real and can cause some "unwanted" side effects for certain athletes. For example, MMA (like wrestling/grappling) is an extremely demanding sport with matches requiring all out use of cardio, strength, muscular endurance, power, etc. and Anavar (var) at 50mg/daily can easily cause pumps so bad, it feels like severe cramping. First time users have also reported head rushes, feeling flush, running hot, etc. when combined with high intensity cardio/conditioning.. of course that goes away but its still a concern off the bat.
3) Your natural test production can and most likely will be shutdown on doses of over 15mg/daily. To what degree is diferent from person to person but less testosterone is bad anyway you slice it. It can mean decreased recovery, decline in strength, less drive, etc, etc.. (too many to list). This is why its always important to run a base of test.
4) If your fight is approx 4 weeks, I'd reconsider adding something like gear to the routine this close to a fight. I'm not saying its going to screw things up but it very well could.
..in short, just trying to help bro. My advice would be to wait until you have no fight to throw something in like this and test the waters. I personally know how demanding MMA can be.
 
what about running prop eod and 40mg Anavar (var) a day? 4 weeks is very close so the Anavar (var) may not really help that much. just my 2 cents

First timer
What is your current training routine (list all days and approx routine, i.e. mon-bjj, tue-run, wed-stand up and weights, etc., etc.)

Training is like this most weeks

Monday - BJJ
Tuesday - MMA in the afternoon, BJJ in the evening
Wednesday - Cardio (rest day)
Thursday - Circuit in the day, mma in the evening
Friday - Circuit and lots of sparring both BJJ and MMA
Saturday - Kettle Bells and wrestling
Sunday - rest day
And, how long have you been "competing" at mma and how many times have you been in the cage total??
Not sure how many sub wrestling matches I have had - Many. You know how that goes.
3 Amateur MT fights, waiting for gym to setup first amateur fight. Getting 2 guys ready right now.

I appreacite everyone's input very much - Lutador has been helping me in PM's that was when I decided to go for the Anavar (var) . Next time around I am going to do Eq with some other combo

3) Your natural test production can and most likely will be shutdown on doses of over 15mg/daily.

Will I need a post cycle therapy (pct) after the cycle? I have heard so many different views on this.

4) If your fight is approx 4 weeks, I'd reconsider adding something like gear to the routine this close to a fight. I'm not saying its going to screw things up but it very well could.

Its Sub wrestling so its not the end of the world, this is why I want to experiment now. To get to know how it will effect me before something critical.
Thanks again for your help!
 
I like the idea of EQ since your not being tested. Low dose of around 200mg week will increase your RBC and positvely affect your endurance.
 
Oh, so its not an MMA/cage fight? If its a sub wrestling/grappling match and you feel comfortable with the sport and throwing something new into your "supp" routine, give it go! Test the waters and maybe even keep a log.
Your training looks good/legit and you look to have a little experience which is great. You also have a base which is awesome.
Yes, I would definetly run a post cycle therapy (pct) after that much Anavar (var) . It doesn't need to be crazy. Maybe just 2-3 weeks of clomid at 50mg/daily. I'm sure that will be plenty.
I wouldn't run the Anavar (var) for less then 6-8 weeks. It usually around 4 weeks before it really kicks in and you start to actually see the results.. and around 6-8 weeks for that magic/sweet spot.
I would run it with Creatine the entire time. They are synergistic.
