My anavar journey. 1st time

[squatqueen]

Just thought I would log my journey on here.

Today is day 3 I am 23 years old 5'3" 105 lbs. I train hypertrophy. I count my macros for my diet and am on high protein, low carb, low fat. My goals are to gain strength and lean muscle.

My dose is 5mg a day right now and I am taking it all at once.

Today I noticed a really good pump during my workout and after. I also am very vascular today and my veins are really blue at times. Normal?

I am also trying to keep my water intake up to keep water retention down.

 

[squatqueen]

yes it's normal and I totally recommend taking your dose all at once two hours before training...the pumps are awesome!

haha well I had original questions and made one and then I have a diet one in diet and nutrition...and then I figured I should just have one to keep all my progress etc together and just use that one...sorry

Yeah I took my dose all at once the first couple of days and then yesterday I split it and I didn't like it as much as when I took it all at once, so I went back to taking it all at once today.

Good stuff squat. I like running 5-10mg a day it keeps sides down and gains up. Will you be taking creatine?

Yes I had stopped creatine but will be starting it back up. Thanks! I am starting to notice gains and am excited for what is to come!

I felt what felt like some serious pumps today during my workout....its day 7...am I feeling the Anavar (var) or is it in my head? lol I also was lifting heavier. Not a ton on everything but heavier. Hopefully its only going to get better. I plan on taking my dose to 10mg tomorrow. Good idea? bad idea?

 

[squatqueen]

should be fine, just watch for sides

Thanks If I start to see sides that worry me should I go back down to the 5mg or stop the cycle all together?

 

[squatqueen]

drop down first, but seriously don't think you will see anything bad at 10mg

ok awesome! thanks again!

 

[Mr P]

I agree with Jen

 

[squatqueen]

hey lady, let me clarify that that is what I would do, I need to keep in mind that I don't always do the norm. Many would say stop the cycle period if you see sides and so I would say that this might be the better option, it's just not what I would do.

of course haha Thanks and Thanks Mr. P!

Cycle length

I had another question. I had not completely decided on my cycle length. I have post cycle therapy (pct) all laid out etc. I just wasn't sure what was a good length for a first cycle. I have heard anywhere from 8-12 weeks. So what do you ladies think?

Most do a 6-8 week cycle, always better to go short & see how your body reacts.

Thanks. What are the dangers of a longer cycle? Also when you end your first cycle and choose to do another cycle. How long would you wait? Sorry just trying to make sure I am as informed as I can be lol

No problem squatqueen

U should take the same time off as on..
As far as dangers for running a longer cycle is the risks of virilization.. For your first cycle I suggest a 6 week cycle.

 

[squatqueen]

Thanks so much ladies!

 

[squatqueen]

Also, if I keep up on diet and training will I lose much or any of my gains?

Actually no. You *should* not lose any of your gains. You'll likely drop some water weight you've been holding onto, but you should keep the muscle gains and strength. Women don't have the same rebound as men do, so tend to keep all our benefits from the cycle as long as it's run correctly.

Good luck with your cycle!

I dont lose much if any of my gains when I run a Anavar (var) cycle - but I do lose the water weight that I had gained and held while on cycle - Anavar (var) makes me gain around 5 pounds of water and takes a couple weeks post cycle before I loose it. So it's possible for you to keep all or most of your gains post cycle.

 

[squatqueen]

Thanks everyone! That definitely makes me more excited about this cycle.

 

[squatqueen]

I had a good arm workout today and definitely had nice pumps. I have been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep at night for the past few nights. Any suggestions on what might help?

Still trying to keep up on my water intake to help with the water retention...seems to be working pretty well.

Also any suggestions for getting rid of the headache at night without having to take aspirin or anything every night?

Thanks!

 

[Blondie_Bombshell]

Headaches are pretty common with Anavar (var). Just make sure they are not from dehydration. Sometimes my bp will elevate mildly in the 2-3 week and I will get headaches but then it levels out.

What stimulants do you take?

I like using Melatonan to help with sleep.
