Test prop and anavar cycle -rapid weight increase

[Stringerbe11]

Hi all,

First post. 3rd cycle in total.

Had 2 X 12 week test e and dbol cycles when 24 and 29, now at the ripe old age of 34 I've started a short test prop and anavar cycle.

Motivators for the cycle were an impromptu return to the rugby arena and it left me out of shape with only 6 weeks until season so a short cycle to boost me up.

Not fantastically prepared for the cycle as bf was too high before starting which I'm aware of, but it was either do it or not as couldn't delay the season start so I decided to just go ahead with it and was hoping to lose bf as I progressed the cycle

So after all that I'm on the below 6 week cycle

100mg test prob EOD
100mg anavar daily split morning/eve
Nolva and hcg for pct

Issue I have is that I have put on 3.8kg's in 2 weeks from 119.8 to 123.6 with bf % dropping from 22.9% to 17.3%. These are all according to the machine in the gym so not sure how accurate the bf % is and all while being on a calorie deficit!

Now this seems like quite a bit of water retention, my question is with 3 and a bit weeks left, should I purchase arimidex, how would it work with the water weight? Does it strip it all out of just prevent more? I've got no gyno symptoms so is the arimidex necessary or do I just wait until the nolva in pct?

Ps - test prob injections are a bitch

Thanks

are you running an ai?

Welcome, hows your blood work?

3js - I purchased arimidex today, my question on it was whether it would kick in and help with only 3.5 weeks left on the cycle?

Milton - working remotely and no chance to get blood work done until 2nd of pct

It'll work. Take .5mg immediately and then .25 eod.

I agree with Gaijin for dosing and personally like taking my Armidex in the evening with food. If you're holding water weight and your diet is on point (aside from high estro waiting on an AI) you can also go to your nearest supplement store and get some dandelion root which works as a natural diuretic.

Also, good job splitting the Anavar dose am/pm.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Took 1mg yesterday and will take another 1mg tomorrow to get it into my system then will drop to .5mg EOD. Does that sound about right?

So far I am up to 124.6kg from 119.8 as of today's measurement in 2.5 weeks.

Feel very bloated. How long should I expect to drop the water weight and will it be immediate you noticeable?

Thanks for the help guys, bloat has gone and now I am heading towards pct.

I have nolva and hcg for pct but am struggling to find out the best way to take it. Seems I missed the boat to take hcg on cyc;le so could anyone recommend how to take it post cycle?

I think nolva at 20mg a day for 4 weeks but not sure how to add in the hcg
