Deca and Anavar

[nevaeh]

Hi, all! I'm new here, and I need your input! I have a few questions; but for a little background on me, I posted at the training and nutrition forum... but basically, I have gained 60 pounds over the past five years between having two children and being out of the gym. At one time I was extremely active, so it is frustrating for me to be this bad. I am now 5'6'' and 182. I have lost 30 pounds so far, and I have another 30 to 35 to go to be at the weight I was most comfortable. I don't want to be skinny or small, but I would like to burn up a lot of my "baby" fat and get some good muscle size and strength. My husband is a BB, and he is very gung-ho about training. He is a great source of motivation for me, and he is actually working on his personal training certification right now. Anyway, he helps me with good exercises to do to train specific muscles, and he has taught me correct form and is helping me build what I want... but, he is really pushing me to try a cycle of Deca and Anavar, and I was wondering what you knowledgeable ladies could tell me. I know that steroids for a woman are very different than those men can use. I am not sure what to do. Should I wait until I have lost more weight? He thinks that now would be a good time to try something because I am halfway to my goal weight. Any advice please? Has anyone here tried these specific streiods together? When would be a good time for me to try something like this? I am totally prepared to bust my ass in the gym. I am dedicated to having my strong body back, and this time, I want to be even better than before. So far, I have been concentrating on the cardio and diet to lose fat, and that has been working great. I have lost 30 pounds over the past 6 months. But I am ready to take things a step further. What advice can you give me to help get to where I really want to be? I can just picture my strong and lean body in my mind, and I am so anxious to get there. Thank you so much for your help, I have read the advice given to other people, and I know you can help me.

One more thing...

Will Deca and Anavar interfere with my birth control? I am using ortho tri cyclen pills. Also, should I try using a fatburner first? What are some good supplements that would be helpful to me? Right now the only thing I am using is whey protein shakes, and a daily multivitamin. Thanx.

Im sure your husband has good intentions but Im shaking my head trying to figure out what he is thinking. First of all, your trying to lose another 30 to 35 pounds. Steroids are to gain muscle, not lose fat. A fatburner would be much better for you. Secondly, most of us believe that when you are ready to try steroids that you take one at a time to learn how your body reacts to each and watch for sides. Thirdly, Deca is a very long acting ester that shouldnt be taken for a first cycle because once you start to experience sides it will still take some time for it to leave your system and therefore the side effects will worsen. I know a couple newbies who when they started to see sides on DECA think "oh that is not too bad" and then get to a side effect they are freaked out over but the side effects can continue to worsen because of the long ester and some become permanant. Although I would not recommend this for you, Durabolin is the short acting ester of DECA and would have been atleast a better recommendation from your husband. Fourth, Deca can cause quite a bit of water retention on women and can really do a number on you psychologically if you are trying to lose weight because you feel a lot bigger when retaining water. Anavar, Ive taken myself quite a few times and know it is a very safe effective steroid with minimal side effects. I have personally used this by itself to gain some LBM but if I were you I wouldnt take this until you lost the other 30 to 35 lbs you mentioned and were looking to put on some lean body mass and had your diet and training right on (which may be now but you didnt post them).I hope I havent been to harsh, just looking out for another womans best interest because it is very different with men and sides can be irreversable.
