can I end a cycle early?

[stevemorse0]

First time taking anavar. Positives strengt thru the roof, I do see more muscle , actually I worked my butt off for these 5 weeks on anavar. Here is why I want to end it early, I do feel very bloated around the middle, and everytime I get on the scale its up!!! Now clothes are still fitting but another 3 more weeks on this who knows? My diet is good and I have been careful but I am gaining too much weight on this, so what do you think??

I want to stop see if the scale goes down the next month or two, get the bloat off and clean out my system. Maybe at a later time when I am actually low on the scale as far as weight then run anavar again the whole 8 weeks. HOnestly even though I have been at this for over 8 years, I think I should have been 10 lbs thinner before I ran this. This may be all wrong thinking thats why I am asking.

So is it ok to end only after 5 weeks? Thanks Marilyn

If youre satisfied with your gains then why not?

yes I am very satisfied but dont want to get bloated and bulky. I find that now is the time to stop. Thanks so much, I am now really focused on keeping the diet clean and getting the extra weight off or bloat slowly. Thanks again

You can end it early Marilyn! I think if you can get results with a shorter cycle that is great! Saves you money.

I forget the dosage you are on.....just taper down the last week or two. If it is 10 go to 5 or 7.5 for a week or two and then go off.

Be sure to read Supergirls sticky of post cycle!

thanks for answering MissM and remembering my name. Well yes a short cycle did help me, I felt the strength increase after the second and third day, so by 5 weeks I was a beast! I actually was picking up weights that were 30 plus heavier than I would normally pick up after 2 weeks. I had to really be carefully because my muscles said go go go but my bones, joint and ligaments were not too damn ready for the increase in the load. This is a scarey drug is your a compulsive person, I mean I got such a high picking up the 45 lbs dumb bells and pressing them over my head for shoulder and they were light! I am curious to see what I can do after the fact. Thanks your great!

I also have experienced the bloating and bulkiness. My girlfriend just had a VERY successful cycle on anavar and experienced the same abdominal issues until week 8. She was on for 12 weeks total. Her issues ended after week 8. She looks incredible now. She is in competition shape now.

You have to do what feels right for your body. Did you decide to end the cycle? Good luck to you.

well I decided to stick it out alittle longer, however I am watching my diet like a hawk. I mean there is no room for one cheat meal right now on this cycle and salt intake too! So no I still am on it, now is week 6. I have been told now is when you really start taking off and I have good results so far, I am so strong and no side but the bloat and bulk. So I decided to suck it up , stop being so scale obsessed and go with it until week 8. Then re-evaluate everything to see if I should keep going. Most say now is the most and best time after week 5 so I went this far whats a few more lbs of bloat!? The good news is I stopped for 4 days and 3 lbs fell right off, so basically if I am doing my part with diet it should work out real good. Thanks for asking. How about you bizzy??? Did you end cycle early?

Wow the bloat part is suprising to hear. I plan on starting my 1st cycle in a few weeks and now worried it's going to be counter productive to the summer season. I'm pretty lean now, but wanted to get more muscluar/hard while still maintaining a flat belly. I also tend to hold water in my abdomen

How quickly did you notice the bloat? Do you think it's your diet that caused it?

I think you will be fine, I think that I was the unusual case. This does not happen to most people. My diet was good, and now really good. I also think age has a lot to do with it, Im 42, the younger people 20's /early 30's I think do not get this as much. You see me and my trainer, who is 62 and just ran a cycle (yes 62) she is unbelievable at 62 she bloated too. I think age is very important here in this factor. I think you will be fine. Most people do not bloat off anavar.

Most people that hear about anavar bloating are shocked and tell me that I MUST be on D-bol. People swear anavar does not cause bloat because it squeezes water from the muscles, etc. I KNOW I am on legitimate anavar. I am bloated. The scale does goes up but my clothing size is still a 4. My body is changing shape and my muscles are hard all of the time.

My girlfriend just did a cycle and had most of the same experiences. She toughed it out and she looks incredible now. She lost the bloat and weight, etc later during the cycle. I am going to tough it out. I am stronger now and feel I can only benefit from this cycle even if the scale does not say what I want it to say.

Some people bloat on anavar and others do not. It's all individual!
