Anavar Questions!

PCT: Plenty of Clomid/Nolva/Letro on hand

Just started my cycle of Ana Anavar (var) after hitting Winstrol 50/mg per day for 4 weeks.
I managed to get my hands on 240, 10 mg. pills of Anavar (var) by Upsher Smith. I'm on day 3 taking 30 mg/day and Wow!! I'm already getting great pumps and the vascularity and muscle hardness are already coming through. I'm excited as hell and I love everything I read about Anavar (var) (will never use Winstrol (winny) again). However, the only drawback so far is that my nuts are aching pretty bad and usually 30 minutes after I take a dose (doses spread throughout the day). I've got test on hand, but really wanted to go straight Anavar (var) to get into single digit bodyfat and avoid total suppression of the HPTA.

Questions:

1. Is 30 mg/day enough for my body frame and will it totally suppress the HPTA? I know it can suppress at higher doses, but I've never had my nuts ache like this on previous cycles of Deca and Sustanon and I'm only taking 30mg/day. It could be the quality of this Anavar (var) , but i don't really know.

2. I can run 30mg/day for roughly 11 weeks, or 40mg/day for 8.5 weeks. What do you guys think would be better? This stuff is clearly pharmeceutical grade stuff, so no worries about it being underdosed or legit.

3. Since I'm trying to do a straight Anavar (var) cycle, should I use a small amount of nolva or aniti-aromatose on cycle to control estrogen? If so, would 5 mg/day of Nolva be enough? I know Anavar (var) doesn't aromatise, but if the HPTA is being partially suppressed, seems to me estrogen could be a concern.

Thanks for all of the helpful input.

I was going to answer all your questions but I'll give you this link....

I'd be concerned about low testosterone not high estrogen. The less testosterone youre producing naturally the less estrogen you'll produce...

Run it with Test... Test at a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) dosage wont give you bloat and even if it did you could run a AI.

Thanks YThrashin (BTW--love the Avatar pic). I've read that article about 10 times. I guess my question relates more to my body frame because I'm feeling 30mg/day on day 3, so I'm a bit worried about jacking up the dosage to something too much. So I guess my questions center on would a slightly higher dose over a relatively smaller time frame (3 weeks) be better over a higher dose with a shorter time frame. Just want to get
opinions on my Christmas in October.

Again, thanks in advance for any advice. It's always helpful.

Thanks, very intersting info and cycle - I think this may be something I would be interested in doing - look forward to your results

Well, I upped my doses to 40mg/day and I feel like I'm about to come out of my skin at times. Makes it tought to sit at my desk at work for hours on end.

I think I'm going to stick with 30mg/day for another 2 weeks and then increase to 40 for a few weeks.

Update.

It's been 8 days on approximately 35 mg/day and I'm really starting to carve up without any weight loss. I'm actually up 2 lbs and had my strongest chest, bicep, and tricep workout in over a year (since taking sustanon and deca together). It's odd, I feel lighter and leaner, but the strength is hanging in there and getting better. I'm extremely excited about the upcoming results over the next 8 weeks.

As far as sides go, my nuts ARE shrinking but I haven't noticed any drop in libido or lethargy. I continue to get achy boys about 30 minutes after popping a dose. I have test on hand but don't want to add unless I really have to. I know I should add it and everyone recommends using test as a base for any oral, but I can't tell you how nice it is to NOT have to worry about gyno shit while taking this cycle. Anyway, I'll keep posting with updates and possibly pics at some point.

My Anavar experiment continues and so far very impressive.

sounds like you've got some good stuff there.
I ran GP Anavar (var) at 40mg for 5 weeks and had great results gained a couple pounds and got nice and hard and vascular.
it's crazy that it seems to be shutting you down so hard.
I got blood work after post cycle therapy (pct) and my test was at 849, given I'm only 21.
Personally I would go 40 for 8.5 weeks
Dont know about an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), as I had no estrogen problems at all.

Are you eating below, at, or over calorie maintenance?

 

[cyclegtr]

I'm eating slightly above calorie maintenance. Anyway, I had another great leg and shoulder workout tonight. The strength gains are impressive after 9 days.

Additional Supplements:

-Vitamin B-12
-Milk Thistle for liver
-VPX Meltdown fat burner
-Viagra on hand in case libido takes a dive (girlfriend demanded it)
-Lipitor for cholesterol levels
-Minoxidal, Nizoral shampoo, and Propecia for scalp and hair
-L-Carnetine
-Lots of Whey Protein shakes
-Gaspari Novedex XT at night for natural test booster
-ALR Lean Dreams for Cortisol reduction and natural gh release

PCT: plenty of Nolva, Clomid, and Aromasin sitting on ice.

The journey continues...

Good stuff. Thanks for the feedback. Will certainly keep following.

I'm slowly but surely thickening up after roughly 12 days (amazing to me). I'm up to 169-170 lbs and had two people comment today on how huge my arms looked. I feel like my body is finally adjusting to this stuff, very potent at 35 mg/day. My girlfriend is taking 10 mg/day for the same amount of time and has put on 3 lbs and looks ripped. She's freaking out about getting too big over the next 8 weeks.

I'm sticking strict to the diet and feel utterly famished. My body is craving food, but I'm holding strong on my path to being hard and utterly ripped to shreds. There is no lack of protein in my diet, just a slight lack of carbs. My workouts are very intense and I'm doing about 20-30 minutes of hard cardio each day.

As far as sides go, my nuts continue to ache and have shrunk a bit. I'm concerned enought to where I think I'll start pinning 100 mg/week of Sustanon over the next 4-5 few weeks to counterbalance the lack of Test production. MY BOYS need to hang in there for the next 8 weeks!!! Damn.

The hair follicles also feel under siege (remember, I started with 4 weeks of Winstrol (winny) and then jumped straight into the Var). I didn't have much hair to begin with and may not have anything left after this cycle, but what can you do.

More posts to come.

Peace!

It seems like you're finding your way on your cycle. I don't think anything you are doing is wrong, although if it was me I do always run a base of test.

I'm not well educated with regard to females and steroids, however I wonder if you gf should consider lowering her dose a bit. Maybe somebody else with experience could chime in on that issue.

My girlfriend is taking 10 mg/day for the same amount of time and has put on 3 lbs and looks ripped. She's freaking out about getting too big over the next 8 weeks.

IMO 10mg/day is too much to start a woman on, 5mg/day is plenty.

My girlfriend just got her IFBB pro card for figure, and she's never used more than 5mg/day, in fact she started her first couple of cycles with 2.5mg and had great results.

Granted she has amazing genetics but if you can see great resutls with 2.5/5mg why go straight to 10mg?
