Dosage For TEST+VAR CYCLE for a Non Bodybuilder athlete.

[ANDERSON]

Plan on running An 8-10 Week TEST E+VAR CYCLE. I am Currently 5'11 195 at 12%BF Want to be 180 at the end of the cycle. I have to make a certain weight class for a combat sport. What dosages should I run if each to keep the weight gain down.

I train 2-3 times a day about 5times a week. Lift 3x a week (2 days of compounds and oly lifts 1 day of kettlebells+circuits). And have to recovery workout days.

Goals: Get stronger while losing weight, Recover better and maintain muscle while cutting.

Open to all opinions Please let me know If you think that these are the wrong compounds to run for my sport/goals.

Drop the Var for your first cycle, run your test @ 500mg a week. Get your diet dialed in, and train. You will get to your goals.
Whats your stats?

i don't really like var for athletes man. if you can get quality stuff at a reasonable price i'd go with low-medium dose test and high dose primo. as an athlete requiring endurance and explosive power on demand that was by far my favorite stack both on and off season.

but the nutrition side of things is the most important for sure, make sure that is dialed dead on, that will make or break you in your effort to reach your goals.

You dont need steroids at all. Dropping fifteen pounds is not hard with a good diet and cardio.

Ive dropped the weight before. On multiple occasions Ive had to cut 15+lbs. I just want to get stronger and be able to recover better while on less cals. Not taking it to lose weight just to counter the effects of losing weight that I feel.

if you are eating on point and your test levels aren't naturally extremely low, at your composition you should be able to cut without sacrificing very much muscle at all.

Will take this into consideration. Have to make a decision by the end of this week. But If I did cycle I would also be doing it for the
"performance enhancement"

 

[jumpinjeff]

yeah. you don't need the var though. unnecessary here, if you're going to use steroids for your goals here, do only the test. var has some properties that can actually hinder you in what you want to do, being an athlete. depends on the sport though.

Yeah Iv'e heard makes muscle susceptible to tears as well as bad pumps with higher doses. Would 500mg a week would be too much wouldI hold water/bloat even with an ai?

 

[jumpinjeff]

there's a good chance you wouldn't hold water or bloat even without an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on 500mg a week of test. not eating right and not getting enough water are the two primary causes of bloating on cycle, regardless of the compound. these should be dealt with before even bothering with an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). of course get your bloodwork done so you know what your base E2 levels are, could help get you an idea of whether you naturally convert a lot or not, etc. and get bloodwork on cycle. if you do start with an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) all the way through, do a low dose of stane and adjust according to how you feel, but if possible, bloodwork around the 6 week mark so you know where the bloat (if you have any) is really coming from.

I know man I still might not do it just because of the risks. But alot of the people in my sport are using so it's hard not too.
