HELP! Should I take Anavar?

[timetochange]

Hi! I'm getting back into a fitness regime and was told to try Anavar. It's been 5 years since I worked out regularly. I use to work in a gym so I lifted everyday, free weights, and did cardio 3-5 times a week. My food was right and I was in good shape. But...I came home when my husband went on the road to work and my physical activity as well as my eating habits went to hell with the suddeness of being a single mom with 4 active kids. I'm fully aware of what I need to do in the gym and how to eat, but one thing I never did was steroids. A friend of mine suggested a cycle of Anavar for this first 6-8 weeks of my return to lifting, and after an 8 week break, do another 6 week cycle. I've lost much of the muscle mass that I developed in the 6 years I lifted regulary and my strength is embarrassing low. Here are my current stats:

Gender: Female
Age: 37
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 195
Goal: 170 lbs, fitness model build more than bodybuilder physique

I understand I have a long haul ahead of me. 170-175 is a healthy weight for me so I could ditch 20 lbs of fat (or more since I've lost muscle). I'm making the necessary moves in my diet, reverting back to eating clean, 5-6 times a day, meals loaded with protein and balanced with healthy carbs and vegetables. Also beginning a workout program of weights 4 days a weeks. Cardio 2 days. Just curious if I even need to attempt the Anavar this early in? Or should I wait?

Thanks in advance

Hi! I think you need to get back into the groove of training naturally. You really don't need steroids for your goals. Don't let yourself fall into the trap of thinking that to get in shape or what got you in shape was taking steroids rather than the hard work and diet restructure. Start making changes with eating right and don't forget healthy fats in your eating plan! Aim for doing cardio maybe 3 days instead of 2, or work up to 3 from 2 to increase your energy output as time goes on. Good luck

Hi, Welcome

Detour gave u great advise, an anavar cycle is not what you need right now. If you have been inactive & have kept a bad diet for a while your body has created fat and has lost muscle. Allow your body to bounce back, from reading your post looks like your on the right track. The changes in your diet & being persistent with your routine is what will give u results. Remember it will take time to gain your strength back, lose the fat & get back in shape.
Like Detour said maybe u could add an extra cardio day, or as you get stronger maybe try HIIT cardio and keep changing your routine, our bodies are very adaptable and u want to keep challenging it.

Anyone can reach their goals naturally, before considering anavar u should have a solid diet/training foundation for a while.

Good luck to u
