Steroid Cutting Advice

[respek]

I currently weigh 215 lbs with about 15% BF. I am starting to cut for the summer. I am NOT looking to put on anymore bulk just maintain the muscle I have now, and get harder and more vascular.

I am looking at taking a light cycle and I want to see what you guys think...

option 1.

EQ- 12 weeks 400-600 mg/week

option 2.

Anavar- 8-12 wks 25-40 mg/daily.

I know that I would probably want to stack both of the cycles with test but I don't want water retention (and hairloss). I do worry that I might shut down without the test though. Should I include the Anavar with EQ? Is that enough to prevent me from shutting down?

I ran ANAVAR at 50/day and saw good results on a cutting diet. I kept my Cal to under 1800 for 6 weeks. I maintained my size and probably gained a lb. or two of muscle. Overall I lost 5 lbs. I only ran it for 6 weeks as I don't like orals for long periods of time. I noticed a little hair falling out when I ran my hands through my hair, but nothing out of the normal range. I ran a dose of 250/week of Test E for 10 weeks on the same diet (1800) and saw great results. Gained 5lbs of muscle and lost over 10 lbs. However, this was my first cycle and 250 probably won't work on an experienced AAS user. I found that that dose was enough to maintain mass while cutting cals. Some will disagree. I'm 5/9 at 205 and 29.

Test hairloss is not that bad as it is not a DHT. IF any problem with hairloss you can always take something like Dutastride which can be found at ar-r.com. If your worried about water retention something like test prop can be used or an AI accompanied with any of the other esters will control that so you stay dry. It can hinder gains tho as you do want some estrogen conversion for muscle growth. If your just looking at a stand-a-lone cycle tho, anavar would be great 40-80mg for 8 weeks. I have used test E and EQ for 14 weeks (eq stopped at 13 weeks) and the gains were lean, i didnt really bloat either.

I'm running 500 mgs/wk test e and 600 mgs/wk eq and the water retention is slim, take dbol with that cycle and yu'll be a water balloon.
