Deca/Var/Help??

[RN2BeIn'05]

I know this topic probably seems to be covered extensively, but I must ask for your patience with me as I am new to anabolics and would like some personal attention and individualized advice. First here is my profile: 24 y/o, been lifting since I was 16 (seriously for 2 years), eat very clean (although I have to admit a bit weak), do not drink alcohol, and I have to admit that except for a wee wee bit of fat on tummy, I really like the way my body looks. I have decided to do my first bb (will probably do “figure,” but still not sure) show in April 05. I have been reading about Anavar and it sounds very appealing to me…low risk of side effects, lean hard body, low water retention.

The query, then, is that I have been recently influenced to try a cycle of Deca to (as HE put it) get “bigger.” I have also read about Deca and am a little scared…WATER RETENTION, acne, facial hair….yikers!

Do I need to get “bigger?” I like my size….God wish I had a picture to attach, soon I promise. I want “lean and hard” right? Everything I have read has said Anavar (var) is the best place for a beginner (to anabolics) to start. I really feel comfortable with that, so what’s up with this Deca advice? HE is a chemical engineer/bodybuilder/workout/study buddy. So far EVERYTHING he says checks out and I find him to be a very reliable and knowledgeable person. Just looking for a woman’s point of view

I'm not going to give you any advice other than not to listen to your male buddy. I'm sure some of the gals will be along shortly to help you.

In the meantime, SG wrote a great thread on this, if you haven't already, you should check it out.http://www.steroidology.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16290

I have listened to him and now I am questioning him, which, I think is the best way to educate myself. I have read the above thread (a couple of times) and am greatly appreciative of the advice. I do realize that this is NOT a fat burner, I will have to do the work, and this is "serious." I just need a little more help from some girlies.

Hey honey.. glad you read my thread.. lots of thought went into that, so i am very happy to hear that you appreciated it!!!

anyway.. listen to your gut and go with the var!! you want to do figure, NOT bbing.. no need for deca IMO.. unless it is the phenyl prop which is a tad easier and much faster... but still deca is harsh for a beginner, again IMO!!

var is easy.. you will get hard and lean.. you will not "grow".. deca will make you grow! so if you are happy with how you look, then that is all that matters!!! If you only want to tighten up a bit and get rock hard, then Anavar (var) is the way to go!! aside from a correct diet and training program which i am sure you already know...

the problem with deca is that it takes so long to peak and once it does, if you are gonna get sides, they are there and takes quite awhile to stop.. so basically once they start, you can not turn back and that is scary for a beginner!! Even for a seasoned "gear" user it is scary and needs to be taken with precaution.. virilization is real and can come from even the lightest of steroids.. Deca can be very efficient as well if used correctly and lightly...

Hope that helps answer your concerns a bit... If i were you, i would start with the Anavar (var) and see how you like it.. see how your body responds.. you can always go heavier if you feel the need... again as in my post.. Start smart... start small!!

luv super

Thanks Super! After a nights sleep I really feel more confident in my decision not to start with the deca. I agree with you, start with the Anavar (var), see how I respond, go from there. This is how I felt from day one and I never should have questined myself. Thanks for your support, advice, and encouragment.
