    looking to add anavar

    im in my 6th week of prop 100mg EOD, good gains, im wanting to know if it would be beneficial to add something for the last four weeks. i was thinking anavar.

    im 5'8 180lb, prob 15%bf ive gained alitle bit of fat on this cycle. diets been up and down. but good now

    If this is your first run, no secondary compound is needed.

    Keep it simple. Stick to the original plan and finish the cycle. PCT and appropriate time off. Then plan your next cycle. You gain nothing by rushing the process. Everything takes time including gains from gear.

    1. There is no point of running Test Prop for 10 weeks. Stop your cycle at week 8, as you won't be seeing further gains regarding both muscle & strength at that point. There is no point in putting the extra strain on your body by over-extending a light-ester compound.

    2. Anavar can only deliver what it promises at a range of dosage that is slightly a higher range than what most people would like to think of it. At that dose range, not only it becomes quite expensive to run Anavar but also certain sides start to occur: killer shin and lower-back pumps (meaning it can destroy your lifting sessions as well as cardio) and thinning of hair and/or hair loss in those who are prone to it are amongst the most common sides of this compound, not to mention that it is hepatatoxic like every oral (regardless of the fact that Anavar is milder than most orals).

    3. Why is your Arimidex dose is 0.5mg? I think it is too high for this cycle. Should have started with 0.25mg EOD and see if any adjustments would be required throughout the cycle.

    4. You are so much better off running Test only cycles as for your first 4-5 cycles and try different Testosterone varieties in order to be able to see how your body reacts to this base compound at the given dose without any intrusions from secondary compounds.

    a guy from another forum said i should take .5 eod, should i lower it? should i increase the test for the remainder of time to use the rest of the vial? (just started 2nd 20ml vial) my mate reckons i should taper off the test before going into pct, is that going to help me get back to normal levels faster?

    also whats the theory behind doing the 8 week cycle over a 10 week. is it that it will shut you down harder?

    Shut down is shut down. Longer than 14 weeks may take a longer PCT to recover. 8 weeks is typically due to cost and/or using test P such as you are doing since it's fast acting. No need to taper up or down. Keep it all the same until you are done with your cycle be it 8, 10 or 12 weeks.

    i have already bought two vials, which will last me a total of ten weeks, so i will have a couple of weeks worth of test if i finished at 8 weeks. So the expensive of it is already done.

    Will i still see gains and be alright recovering if i continue to 10 weeks?
    i just don't want to have gear hiding in my place for half a year or so to use for my next cycle. Don't want the misses finding it.

    also are there any supplements to help me recover in pct? i have nolva, would adding a test booster like hcgenerate be counterproductive? also should i keep taking arimadex in pct to reduce estro rebound?

    Test boosters are useless, so adding one will neither be productive nor counter-productive during PCT or any other time.

    You need Clomid along with Nolvadex for PCT.

    If you are so concerned about estrogen rebound during PCT, your choice of AI should be Aromasin from the beginning. It is a Type I (suicide inhibitor) AI and estrogen rebound doesn't occur with it. As for Arimidex, running it up until PCT will be enough.

    You should have done a much broader research before you started your cycle, as how clueless you are on many areas is becoming more self-evident in every post.

    i did do alot of research. I planed to do clomid and aromasin and got a site reffered by a mod on a different forum that seemed legit. it never turned up, its really hard to import in my country so had to get what was available from my source that i get gear from, which is arimadex and nolva. i didnt research arimadex entirely. i knew that the test boosters wouldnt help that much. i was just seeing if there was anything i could use apart from nolva that would help, i cant get hcg. thanks

    I wouldn't extend this cycle to 10 weeks without the presence of HCG and Clomid.

    could i up my dosage for the next two weeks? i just want to get the most out of this cycle but of course keep the gains and have minimal sides

  14. #14

    Longer a cycle lasts, harder and longer it becomes to recover from it. Plain and simple.

    Studies also show that 90% of gains are made in the first 6 weeks of a short-estered cycle, same for orals.

    This happens to be what we consider ''pure scientific'' information, that is objective by nature.

    Decide for yourself.

    TJ...I can attest to this. I had to experiment with a longer cycle and def was not impressed with gains past 8-10 weeks or so on long esters

    There is no NEED to add anavar, HOWEVER, you could do this if you are planning to lower your bf at the end of your cycle.

    About the time of your cycle, 8 week is the sweet spot however adding var for 2 week will be waste of money, but 4 week of var would do great things(10 weeks cycle.)

    About the shutdown, must beginner use test-e for 12 weeks + 2 weeks off before pct and recover fine... So Why extending a 8week shut down into a 10weeks shutdown would make a big difference...
    Of course it will be harder to recover but most people are fine at 14 week shutdown... I think you'll be just fine with a 10weeks.

    I think that you already know how you react with testosterone only so IMHO Yes you could add anavar. Plus extending it to 10 weeks will allow you to see if you still have gains after 8 weeks. If no you know that you must do short cycle, if yes you know that you can do 10 weeks.

    Your choice.

    Good luck
