A little late starting this but since it sounds like theres some interest from other members i guess its better late than never. To give some background info my wife has been lifting for about 3 years now. Shes not going for the female BB physique but definetly wants to put on some lean muscle and lean up some. The ultimate goal has been bodyfat reduction and its been a huge challenge so far as her body is just so stubborn. Weve tried no carb diets, low carb diets, carb cycling, 40 40 20 diets, 1000 calorie diets, etc, you name it and results are always minimal, she just cant shed that last little bit around the midsection. Its frustrating for both of us as her diet is very clean and she trains hard. We have 2 kids and both of us suspect her hormones are probably the culprit. Hopefully as she adds lbm she will have an easier time shedding fat.
Previous cycle history is 4 weeks of anavar at 20mg day and 4 weeks of epistane at 20mg per day. Lots of water retention on Anavar (var), none on Epistane and good strength increases on both. Unfortuntely, she lost alot of her gains when she came down with pneumonia a few months ago but shes healthy and ready to go at it again.
Started the cycle of prop 16 days ago at 40mg a week split up into 2 doses. The goal is to put on 5-8lbs of lean mass and hopefully improve her sex drive and basically just the way she feels in general. The dose we chose is a little higher than a female testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose but lower than a BB dose. We are monitoring this very closely and will stop at the slightest indication of androgenic activity. Water retention is a concern and we didnt really want to run a full blown Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like Adex or aromasin so we decided to add epistane to the cycle. So far shes holding about 5lbs of water or so but hopefully when she starts the Epi on monday this will dissapate.
No negative sides to report so far other than the water. About 3 days ago her sex drive changed gears which is good. Also she says she just feels better and her general outlook has improved. She was chronically tired before and this seems to have disappeared also. Havent really decided on the duration of the cycle, probably somewhere in the 8 week range but really just playing it by ear. 20mg injections are being administered into her delts on Saturday and Wednesday with a 29g insulin needle.
