Test / Anavar Cutting Cycle - How Many Calories?

[Mike177]

Hello,

10% bf or less

I am about to run a test and anavar cycle for 8 weeks or so. I'm going to use Test Cyp @ 200-250mg/week or Test prop 50mg/EOD with 50-100mg of Anavar per day for 6-8 weeks. I am aiming for 100mg per day with the anavar. I am also considering adding in ostarine as I have some laying around.

My goal is to reduce bodyfat. Gains in LBM are not what I'm looking for, this is strictly a cutting cycle.

How low can I reduce my calories while still retaining LBM? Off AAS I cut on 2500 calories a day plus daily cardio. Could I go down to 2000 calores a day? 1500!? I want to go as low as I can, without sacrificing existing muscle mass. This will be my first time using AAS for cutting.

Thanks!

What exactly is "8 weeks or so"? Bro Cypionate is a longer acting form of Test just like Enanthate. It takes a while to kick in, and is slowly but steadily released into the body. It's active for 2-3 weeks from your last pin depending on who you ask. C or E should be ran for 12-14 weeks...some even do 16+. Prop is a different story.

If I were you I and I was strictly looking for fat loss while maintaining muscle, I'd use clen and/or t3. Whenever I use clen 2 weeks on 2 weeks off etc I lose a lot of fat and MAINTAIN most of my muscle while doing interval training. I've never used aas for a cut. In terms of calories I'd keep it around 2500 with oats in the morning, a lot of lean protein, steamed veggies, etc. This combined with clen and cardio will get you awesome results on a cut. If you want to use aas, I heard Anavar (var) and test can be good. Good luck.

I think a lot of fat loss is carb control and eating your meals at even intervals, keeping the protein high etc. Cardio in the am when you wake up and weights at night can really help.

Thanks for the replies.

Bulldog,
I have actually been put on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), so I am just increasing my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) a bit while running the anavar. The test is not included for anabolic effect. I have test c and prop on hand, and I am thinking about trying prop for the first time while on this cycle. I am gyno prone, so I not looking to get too crazy with the test.

Lakers,
I was thinking about using albuterol and/or T3. I have used albuterol and clen before, but never T3. I am worried that it will take muscle off me. Will this be the case even if I use a small dose with Anavar and low dose test?

I am very strict about diet, on cycle or off. I also have a recombinant bike that I use for AM fasted cardio. Off AAS I have been dieting @ ~2500 calories a day, lifting 5-7 times a week, plus cardio 7-12 times a week (some times I do morning cardio, then again after lifting). Right now I am taking a bit of a break before I start hard again. Currently I'm lifting 7 days a week, focusing on one or two muscle groups per day and holding back on the cardio.

I just started the Anavar today @ 50mg just to see how I react to it. I am going to introduce cardio incrementally for the first two weeks, so by week 2 I should be hitting my limit on cardio.
