well this week is my 6th week on anavar. i cant believe how much my legs have changed - they are still measuring big - but so so so much leaner and defined with tons of strength. its been 3 weeks since i posted stats. since then - i lost 3 lbs - doesnt seem like much - but honestly im glad to hold the weight because i am so much leaner. im down to 15% bf and only lost a few pounds.
new stats
126 lbs
chest - 34 (lost half inch, unfortunately the ol' girls disappear quick)
waist - 25 1/2 (lost 1 1/4 inches)
hips - 35 1/2 (lost 3/4 of an inch)
thighs - 21 1/2 (lost half inch off each, right leg slightly larger, not much)
arms - 12 5/8 on left and 12 3/4 on right (gained 5/8 of an inch)
calves - 13 1/2 (gained 1/4 inch on the right, but left stayed at 13 1/4)

so there you have it - lost everywhere pretty much - but gained size in my arms. just what i like to hear! i got sweet definition in my arms and shoulders. I cant say enough about what happened to my legs...they look the best they ever have - they just leaned right out immediately. yet they measure pretty much the same - never lost much size.
I still have awesome strength - even by the end of the week - still rock it in the gym.

i dont get those headaches anymore - havent for a long time. still sleep like a champ, but not as long anymore, as i get up to do a little cardio first thing.
my diet, well, its pretty tight already. i keep daily intake to 1400 cals, 100 grams carbs or slightly less, 210 protein or so, and about 15g fat. my fat comes only from fish oil and what i get from stuff like oatmeal, shakes etc. i was rotating my carbs for a couple weeks prior to this cuz i felt my metabolism needed a boost. we'll see how it goes.

11 weeks out. crunch time.
peace.
 
i am 8 weeks on anavar so far. things are going good. gotta doc appointment this week. will post what he says about my liver function, cholesterol etc.
i have noticed very oily skin lately. i have very little acne - but its kinda starting. i normally have great skin - clear and zero acne ever. so this is a big deal for me, to get a few little ones. so about 8 weeks until i noticed this side effect.

still have good strength even though my calories and carbs are slowly dropping.
my legs, oh my legs...haha - they look good for this far out still. i have always had a problem leaning out my big legs, but they are coming along so nicely. very happy about that.
still on 10mg a day - split in a.m and p.m
im weighing in at 124 lbs.
peace.

9 weeks out.
peace.
 
did 10 wks of anavar - 9 weeks at 10mg a day. i just bumped up to 12.5mg starting yesterday. i will do this for this week, then im going up to 15mg provided i feel good and my sides stay put.
sides noticed so far: phlegmy throat, sore throat feeling off and on, oily skin, little bit of acne.

i currently weigh in at 122 lbs.
my bf is sitting around 13%

its all coming together now. crunch time...7 weeks out.
i'll let ya'll know what happens with this dosage increase.
peace.
 
wow that's great to hear you're doing so well on var. Do you have any water retention? And how were your blood results?
 
zero water retention. thank god.
my blood results are still not back to me yet...sigh...its the impossible dream to get anything done by a doctor where i live. its nuts. but i hope to get word soon - since i plan to up the dose to 15mg next week. i will definitely post the results when i know. i feel good at least.
and i do want to mention that i had a noticeable strength increase just going to 12.5mg. very noticeable for me, since im sitting at only 1300 calories a day and very limited carbs. i had unreal strength for 7 weeks out from show! very nice.
 
my trainer told me not to go over 5mg a day. Did you notice any change when you were just on 5mg? How's everything down below - i'm so nervous about that aspect as is my boyfriend
 
shit

well I just stated my cycle and I think I got shit bc it is extremely sore. So bad that I can't walk. This is the 3rd time this has happened.. I cant get legit shit for nothing. I have wasted money and time for nothing.. the big A has fucked me along with the rest. anyone have some idea let me know... I'm new to this but can't ever get any help... you know how it is on here... hush hush.... what can i do or how do i go about getting help...:destroy:

no - no swelling down there for me at all. i got some strength at 5mg, but nothing like at 10mg and i only gave 5mg a week before i increased. i just bumped up to 12.5mg and noticed strength increase again. i was at 10mg for like 8 weeks before i got any side effects - and they are minimal to me. a little greasy face, the odd zit here and there, and then the feeling of having to clear my throat a lot because its phlegmy. and just recently i have a sore throat feeling that comes and goes. my voice hasnt changed or anything like that. im going to 15mg starting soon here. but i am guessing that i will stay there for the rest of my 16 week cycle.
i dont know a lot about anavar, and this is my first cycle ever - so i have no place giving advice, but just in my opinion - i would think that 5mg a day would be so little, that you wouldnt get much out of it and it would be a bit of a waste and not worth it? but if you want, why dont you do 5mg a day and stay there as long as you feel strength etc off it, and see because that may be enough for you. and then do as i did - judge how you feel, what side effects you feel coming on, what gains you are getting and decide if increasing the dose is an option for you and if you feel comfortable taking the risks that come with it?
you started already right?
 
I didn't start yet. I just came off some contests so wanted to give my diet just a little break and then start in June, when I know I'll be ready to diet hardcore again. I heard if you don't eat clean on a cycle you'll just look fat lol

This will be my first cycle ever & I'm so nervous. My bf is on gear too, but he's very nervous about me doing it, cuz he just hears about those crazy side effects that women can get.

I totally get what you mean with it not being worth it for such a small dose - like I might as well get the most out of it since it's going thru my body anyway.

I'm curious to see how your blood work comes back. I always wondered if a person ate very clean on a cycle does their cholestrol still get raised
 
went to 15mg a day this week, so 2 days at that dose. so far...not much notice in anything except acne. i cant really tell if my strength is up - because im down to such a strict diet - low carbs, i am lifting a little lighter and doing more reps. im only 5 and a half weeks out from show - so im getting pooped out. but all things considered - i am pushing some good weight!!
still at 122lbs - im guessing around 12%. cardio kicked up a bit starting this week so im expecting some good changes in the next 10 days.
acne is getting more and more on my face - i mean, its not pizza face or anything - but a lot more than what im used to. its strickly on my face - none on my back or chest. no swelling down below, and the sore throat symptoms actually feel like they've laid off a little? i expected it to get worse.
i am really full - i get good pumps in the gym. anavar must give fullness? i am low carb and yet i get quite the pump. leaning out nicely. happy with where things are at.
i'll update in a week or so - see how 15mg is going.
peace.
 
holy...been awhile here - sorry - im so busy with contest prep.
in a nutshell:
i went back down to 10mg...15mg never gave me anything except acne. i actually felt worse. i got these side cramps - not sure if its related but after going back down - it went away. i had good strength at 10mg so i went back down to that. so far so good. i have one week left - then i taper off and i compete next saturday as well. i am now
114lbs, 9%bf, totally stage ready. anavar was awesome. i will post when i taper off and i will put up some before and after pics.
one week out from show!
peace.
 
ok....after my show last saturday, i went down to 5mg a day for 4 days and then quit. i feel good....dont notice anything yet....i am taking a little megatest for precaution??

oh ya...AND I WON!!! i won my class, but didnt win overall...thats ok tho - i was happy with a 1st place trophy. i weighed in at 111 lbs and 9%bf. i was happy with how everything worked out.

i have enough anavar to run another 12 wk cycle. so i am taking some time off it and then i will do it again maybe this fall when i can eat!
 
Nice you won cograts . I was looking at Anavar you like it I see? I was in a discussion with a friend tell me what you think. you take estrogen blocker while on or just after or would you do both? and you ending with the Anivar because I was I am doing 400mg a week of Deca and 500 wk of Cyp and will be on for 8 more weeks total of 12 but in wks 9-12 I will also be on the Anivar. I am not taking any type of blocker right now but a friend is saying to get the nolvadex at the vitamin shop? I think thats what he said it was
