Anavar, Furaguno, and T-3 Cycle

[epno]

I just started an Anavar , Furaguno, and T-3 cycle posted below yesterday. I started my diet posted below 1 week before the cycle to ease into it. I'm mid 40's 5'8" and 138 Lbs: I lost 2 Lbs last week on this diet: I intend to vary some food choices to keep it interesting, while trying to stick to my target macros. I'm an endurance athlete and lift during my off season. My goal is to gain strength without getting bulky. I'll let you know how it works out. I lift 3 days per week and do cardio 2-5 times per week. Workouts focus on legs, core strength, and minimal upper body. My current body fat is about 13% according to the active.com calculator. I'm waiting until week two to start the T-3 to see how my resting body temperature reacts to the cycle: pre cycle it was averaging about 96.5 degrees, which is kind of low.

Cycle:
Weeks 1-8 Anvar 10 mg 4-5/day
Weeks 1-8 Furaguno 33 mg 2-3/day
Weeks 1-8 Creatine 10 mg/day split in 4 doses with Grape Juice
Weeks 1-8 Taurine 500 mg 2/day
Weeks 1-13 Flax Seed Oil 1,000 mg 6/day
Weeks 1-13 Perfect Cycle Liver Support 2/day

My first 6 days were uneventful. I started out at 30mg/day anavar with 66 mg/day furaguno, on the third day I upped the anavar to 40mg, and on the sixth day to 50mg. Those were split into AM and PM doses. I lifted Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday; I did cardio Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. My weight has held steady at 138 lbs all week, my resting temperature has been 97.1 everyday, and my blood pressure hasn't gone up compared to precycle levels. I have gotten the anavar head ache a couple times, but aspirin has knocked that out. I do get an aching feeling in my chest near my heart, which I assume is AAS induced inflamation. I hope that subsides after a while. I have felt sluggish sometimes 1-2 hours after taking the AAS and have been sleeping an extra 1/2 to 1 hour/night.

So far no problems with anavar induced pumps interfering with my workouts, but I do 1 set of 30 push ups in the AM most days and my arms do seem a little pumped towards the end the the set. I'm going to stick with 50 mg/day ananvar and 66 mg/day furaguno for the next week and see how it works. I'm working at building my foundation over the next 4 weeks so that I can move onto strength building with more sets and less reps.

[epno]

I started T-3 25 mg/day (split into 2 dosed/day) on Sunday (day 7) and that has brought my resting temperature up to 97.3. I'm going to increase the dose to 37.5 mg/day split into 3 equal dosed during the day starting tomorrow. I'm also taking my anavar with 6-8 oz of grapefruit juice to see if that boosts the effectiveness. My weight crept back up to 140 Lbs over the last 3 days. My diet has been in check and my total calorie intake has be around 2,300 per day. I increased my workout schedule from 3 times/wk to 3 days on, 1 day off, 3 days on, 1 day off, and so on. It went well for the first two 3 in a row work outs. My lifts are increasing faster than in past years when I've run the same exercise program. I have good strength, muscle hardness, but haven't seen any significant increase in vascularity yet. Here are my workouts:

Going well so far. I have good strength during my workouts, good muscle hardness & definition, and no issues with pumps interfearing with my workouts (yet). I did push a little to far to fast with the good mornings on last sunday (day 8) and irritated a back injury that happened last June. Not painfull at all, but it feels like I tweaked my lower back (maybe minor cartilage damage to a disc). I'm backing off on the exercises that irritate that to help it settle down. I upped the T-3 dose to 37.5 mg in 3 even doses through the day yesterday. My resting temperature was up to 97.3 yesterday, but returned to 97.1 today. My weight went back down to 138, probably since I ran on a track for cardio for the first time in 2 weeks.

Wednesday's Workout:

Squats 1 set 155 lbs 12 reps, 3 sets 165 lbs for 12 reps.

I went to my chiropractor on Friday, had him work on my back, and skipped lifting on his advice. I did an E-stim workout on my quads instead. Today I was back in the gym. My lower back was still a little tender, so I took it easy. My vascularity is noticably increased, especially while working out. Strenght seems to be steadily ramping up. I changed my T-3 dosing to 37.5 mg all at once before breakfast per the "T-3 when and how" thread recently posted. Got in some waxy maize and started using it with my post workout shake. Two scoops waxy maize (60 g carbs), then wait 15 minutes, then 1.5 scoops whey protein isolate (37.5 g protein).

Saturday's Workout:
Squats 1 set 135 lbs 12 reps and 3 sets 145 lbs 12 reps

Ran 2 miles on indoor track in about 15 minutes

[epno]

Went easy most of this week trying to let my back settle down. I added in 25 mg proviron ed on Wednesday. I have good vascularity, muscle hardness, and definition. No huge strength gains yet. Weighed 138 lbs the last 2 days and my resting temperature dropped a little, but not enough to worry.

Sunday: off.

My back is feeling better now that I went down to 3 days in the gym per week. I'm watching my diet and doing cardio on the days off from the gym. Since I started taking 25 mg Proviron ED my resting temperature in the AM has been bouncing around. Almost enough to consider stopping T-3. I'm going to keep a close eye on that for the next few days.

Thanksgiving took it's toll! I was up to 140 lbs on Friday AM, but am back down to 139 lbs this AM (Saturday). Resting temperature is 96.8-97.1: it seems to drop the day after I'm in the gym. Dupa I'll post some pictures. I presume I have a much smaller build than most people on this board so I've been reticent to post pictures. Since I'm primarily an endurance athlete bulking up would be counterproductive for me. I do have less bf and muscle mass than you. Var and proviron combo have lived up to their reputations giving me better definition and muscle hardness: I don't know how much the Furaguno has influenced my results since I don't have any past cycles to compare too. My abs are looking trim since I shed much of the small amount of fat I started with. Strength is coming along more quickly than in past winters when I trained w/o AAS.

Friday's Workout:

Squats 1 set 155 lbs 12 reps, 1 set 185lbs 10 reps, and 2 sets 195lbs 10 reps

Dude, you need to EAT MORE.

[eddy tye]

thats some weird lookin shit right there...

[soulstealer]

Ya I think you need to change your diet up.... Say try adding.... ANYTHING YOU CAN GET DOWN YOUR THROAT =P LoL seriously dude eat more... alot more your skinny as hell..

[epno]

Thanks for your concern guys. I normally do eat more calories than I have lately. I'm trying to gain strength without bulk for a reason and to focus that strength in my legs. I'm an endurance athlete and I have to carry around all my weight with the power I can generate, and go fast doing it. Look at top level nordic skiers, runners, swimmers, triathletes, and cyclists: they all have builds similar to mine. I'm consuming around 2,400 calories a day 40% protein, 40 % carbs, and 20% fat right now. When I ramp up the cardio training after getting past the strength building phase in the weight room, then I'll be cranking up the carb content of my diet with my daily calorie count exceeding 3,500 (at a minimum). Besides, since I'm taking anavar , I probably wouldn't bulk up much even if I tried a bulking diet.

[Calyptus]

you train for strength without mass yet you use a high rep bb-like program...

Yeah you sure sound and look like you know what you're doing...

Fair enough... but please for the love of god do me one favor before posting more pics....... get a tan... your whiter then me LOL

I can't avoid the white look because I wear shorts and a jersey when doing my cardio outdoors in the spring, summer, and fall. I'll be in Hawaii for a while this winter, so I'll work on toning up the white areas then. As far as the design of my weight training program goes, it comes from an internationally recognized coach. The program starts with a transition phase, then strength building, then power, then speed strength, and finally maintenance into the season. The reps are high with light weights at the beginning and end of my weight training, and in the middle the sets go up, reps go down, and weight goes up. The only possible issue I've noticed with this weight training program is it's failure to separate areas of the body trained into separate workouts as done in body building. I think that's because of the focus on core and leg strength.

I've met or exceeded my personal maximum lifts on all exercises in the last week. I feel strong during my workouts. My muscle definition and hardness are great. I've come to a point in many of my exercises that adding more weight is aggravating old wrist, knee, shoulder, and back injuries. So I'm proceeding carefully and keeping the emphasis on good form and favoring high repetitions over going for heavier lifts.

I started tapering off of T-3 today. I've been at 50 mg/day for several weeks. I'm tapering 2 days at 37.5, two days at 25, two days at 12.5, and then starting T-100X twice daily for thyroid pct. My AAS cycle will last 3 more weeks tapering to zero on 12/29. Then I'll be starting my pct of nolvadex and clomid. I have to travel to visit family for Christmas during the last 10 days of my cycle and start pct while on that visit. I hope it goes ok.

[epno]

I'm continuing to taper off of T-3 and I'm down to 25 mg today: I'll do 12.5 the next two days and then I'm done. My weight is right at 137 lbs.

Tuesday: off day.

Wednesday: skiing.

Thursday: xc skiing 1.5 hours and then...

Bench Press: 1 set 6 reps 115 lbs, 2 sets 6 reps 125 lbs, 1 set 5 reps 125 lbs, 1 set 4 reps 125 lbs, 2 sets 6 reps 115 lbs
High Pulls: 7 sets 6 reps 95 lbs
Barbell Twist: 1 set 6 reps 115 lbs, 1 set 6 reps 125 lbs, 5 sets 6 reps 135 lbs.
Partial Squats: 1 set 6 reps 205 lbs, 1 set 6 reps 215 lbs, 5 sets 6 reps 225 lbs.

Working out was hard today since I was worn out from xc skiing. Never the less I matched my weights from the same workout the previous week.

[MuscleScience]

Ok why are you on T3, is it to lose fat? If your and endurance athlete you dont want to be super lean. You need fat stores to burn as energy. I am sure if your a high level endurance athlete you know how to control you heart rate relative to your lactate threshold and know when your anaerobic, so why the hell would you want to strip fat at all.

[MuscleScience]

BTW your body fat calculations is way off.

[Ajc330]

good luck man i hope you reach your goals
fvk the negative comments don't pay attention

[Ajc330]

i would say yourbody fat is like 3% dude if that

[reconforce4]

good improvement but up the protein for more clean calories

[epno]

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll have plenty of fat reserves. Typically I'm consuming carbohydrates for fuel while exercising. I only work out in the fat burning heart rate zone while building a fitness base and on recovery days. I'm sure my bodyfat will go up a little after my cycle is over. The last 2 weeks of my cycle I'll be visiting family for Christmas. That can throw a wrench in the old diet! Today was my last day tapering off of T-3. I took 12.5 mg this am. Tomorrow I start T-100X for thyroid pct. I still have 2 weeks left on Anavar & Furaguno, but the last week I'll be gradually tapering down to zero. I weighed 136.5 lbs today, which is 1.5 lbs short of my goal of 135 lbs.

Friday:

Power Clean 1 set 95 lbs 6 reps, 1 set 105 lbs 6 reps, 5 sets 115 lbs 6 reps
Speed Squats 7 sets 185 lbs 6 reps
Incline Press 1 set 95 lbs 6 reps, 6 sets 105 lbs 6 reps
Rowing 2 sets 100 lbs 6 reps, 5 sets 115 lbs 6 reps

Felt a little tired today so I didn't try to push the weights too hard.

Saturday: off day. Slept in and took a long walk.

I'll try to post some new pictures in a couple of days.

I've been traveling to visit family for Xmas this week. Managed to work out Monday, Friday, and Sunday. Traveling last Tuesday and hanging out with the family have shot my diet to hell, but at least I came into it lean! I weighed in on Friday AM at 140 lbs and haven't had access to a scale since then: I always gain weight visiting home for Xmas. I tapered my anavar dose to 40 mg ed this week to stretch my cycle out until the end of the month. The pumps seem more pronounced now that I'm at sea level and in a warmer climate. I'll be tapering 30mg to 20 mg to 10 mg during the last couple days of the month and then off at the end of the month. Then onto cardio 10-15 hours per week along with several weight workouts per week for the next 3 months. Then into the competitive season.

Trunk Curl 1 set 25 lbs 6 reps, 6 sets 35 lbs 6 reps: my winter training gym doesn't have an ab crunch machine so I'm doing these on an incline sit up bench with a plate on my chest. Whatever it takes!

I also did cardio for 2 hours today which will be a typical daily amount here on out going into my competitive season. Maybe I should do more considering that I weighed in at 143 lbs today. That's my highest weight since before my cycle began. It's ok as long as it's muscle!

Tuesday will be some cardio and no weights. Back in the gym this Wednesday.

Merry Christmas!

Unfortunately the holiday season did my diet in. I'm up to 147 Lbs today: I was 137 12 days ago. I was maybe even too low body fat while on T-3, so the weight doesn't look bad on me. Today was my last workout day of my cycle as I taper off. Next Monday I start Clomid and Nolvadex for PCT.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll have plenty of fat reserves. Typically I'm consuming carbohydrates for fuel while exercising. I only work out in the fat burning heart rate zone while building a fitness base and on recovery days. I'm sure my bodyfat will go up a little after my cycle is over. The last 2 weeks of my cycle I'll be visiting family for Christmas. That can throw a wrench in the old diet! Today was my last day tapering off of T-3. I took 12.5 mg this am. Tomorrow I start T-100X for thyroid pct. I still have 2 weeks left on Anavar & Furaguno, but the last week I'll be gradually tapering down to zero. I weighed 136.5 lbs today, which is 1.5 lbs short of my goal of 135 lbs.

Friday:

Power Clean 1 set 95 lbs 6 reps, 1 set 105 lbs 6 reps, 5 sets 115 lbs 6 reps

Felt a little tired today so I didn't try to push the weights too hard.

Saturday: off day. Slept in and took a long walk.

I'll try to post some new pictures in a couple of days.

I really hope that was a typo
