Anavar only cycle.

[OccupyMuscle]

I'm about to start a Var only cycle. Have never done any kind of hormones or steroids before. Only intend to do 20mg-40mg tapered up and down over 6 weeks max. Have bought some Liv.52 and N2Guard, HCGenerate and will use all on cycle and during PCT. For PCT I have purchased some nolva and Clomid (still a long way away,and I probably will not need the latter) but not sure how to run that. How should I run a nova/clomid cycle?

I have been told that creatine works well with Anavar, so shall take that on cycle.

I'm 38, 165lbs, 5'10" been training in the gym for years, but rarely make gains. Want to put on a few pounds of lean muscle and get that vascular look, nothing more. Will be running the cycle in three weeks time, during which I intend to do a lot more research. Any suggestions and help for a newbie much appreciated.

At them doses it will be worthless and no point in tapering it either

You never make gains? what is your diet like and do you have any symptoms of low test?

[BigGuy90]

Sounds like a lot just to take with the var lol. If you rarely make gains you should look at your diet and training regimen as 165 lbs is already very lean at that height..oh yeah btw 20-40mg per day will be useless. Minimum dosage recommended is 50mg ed

I have pretty good protein diet, lack of labido has been a bit of an issue, but that just may be age thing. Too worried about hair loss and gyno to try test for now. I have read that Var only gains, when and if you make any tend to stay on. If I can increase strength and gain that vascular look I would be more than happy.

gains from var are not more permanent then gains from anther steroid. Some people claim that because some other steroids will make you hold some water. So when the water drops off they think they lost some of their gains.

At 38 i would get a hormone panel before you start anything. If your test levels are already low and anavar suppresses you more you may be in a bad spot.

with out fixing your diet you will not keep anything you do gain. And i wouldnt expect much results with that low of dose of var.

Actually my weight is 10 stone with is around 140lbs (super skinny!). Will check out the diet & exercise sections. Have always been skinny so, I have been told I should try heavy weights with less reps.

[DanB]

well there is your 2 problems, by a good protein diet I doubt you mean a 250-300gram protein 3000calorie diet? and lack of libido is classic symptom of low testosterone which will make gains very difficult and also make for low libido like you said, lack of energy, poor concentration span, lack of appetite, generally not feeling 100%

so if I was you I would 1 revise your diet and 2 speak to your doc and get bloodwort done, you may be in line for TRT (testosterone repla.c.e.m.ent therapy)

you need to eat more, training different isnt going to be the difference

More food mate, its the most common problem for people not growing, they dont eat

Just because your not hungry dosnt mean your body dosnt still need food, this is the thing, its not a normal diet its a bodybuilding diet

How can your muscles grow if you dont feed them?

Cheers, they do sound like my symptoms. I do night shift work, so that can mess natural hormone production too. I did get my test checked about 4 years ago when I first complained, but doc said tests showed I was fine and 'we can't change you!' BS. Might go see another doc.

If I do have low test, do you think I should take some Test boosters like Tribulus and HCGenerate?

[DanB]

No they complete garbage dont believe the marketing b.s.

dont think the possible low test is the only problem, you still need sort your diet, your test may not even be low but just get bloodwork done to be sure

sort your diet or you wont grow, with or without steroids, plain and simple mate
