Anavar cycle 43yo 2nd cycle

[40plusnewbie]

Age: 43
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 240lbs.
BF: 20%
Years lifting: 1 over past 2 1/2 yrs
Cycle Experience: Anavar cycle 1 1/2 yrs ago
Injuries: Previously frayed bicep tendon, still inflamed, can not do upright rows with any real weights; Tendinitis in opposite wrist, last 2 fingers partially numb due to heavy weight/over training; Soft tissues in back- healed after 1 yr Physical Therapy (bicep tendon mostly healed injured with back 2x- back and shoulder injuries unrelated to workouts, put me out of commission with weights for most of a year)
Diet: crappy past 1 1/2 months, will be on point now with some cheating. High protein, lots of H2O, 5-6 meals/day

Cycle: Anavar ~70-80mg/day for 9-10 weeks split into 4 doses daily. Milk Thistle 1 teaspoon with each dose of anavar. Will pick up test booster if necessary.

Cycle Goals: 20lbs fat loss; 10lbs lean muscle gain (will be monitoring tendon issues over the course of the cycle and after wards to see if any noticeable healing takes place due to anavar's collagen synthesis properties- Had GREAT success during first cycle with accidental serious burns to my forearms, scars not noticeable now).

PCT: Nolva 40/20/20/20

Started my anavar dosing 1/2 hour ago after making up a few days worth of caps, licked up dropped power off of table for 1st dose, yumm.

I have not come anywhere close to my natural limits so the 10lbs should not be a problem.

No pic's this cycle as DSM could not promise me he wouldn't jack off to them lol

[40plusnewbie]

I finished up working lower ab's with leg raises and did some stomach vacuum exercies.

I think I better ammend my goals to 25lbs fat loss (any more and I will look like an aids waisting linebacker due to lack of muscle def given my body frame) and 18lbs lean muscle gain.

I love var!

If you don't mind, keep this thread updated with your progress. I'm eager to see how the Anavar will treat you at your BF.

What do your daily macros look like?

[40plusnewbie]

I'll be eating something like 40-55% lean protein (400g's or so), 30-40% carbs, 15-20% fats. First few weeks will be low carb, keto-ish.

I did a cycle of anavar with like 35% bf after dropping from 295lbs to 250lbs and being stuck there for like 6 months. I dropped down to 220lbs from 250lbs on a shorter anavar cycle if memory serves and at a lower dose. People were ragging on me but the cycle accomplished what I wanted it to. Being 43 I have no desire to max out naturally at age 50, I'm too old for that. I am not recless though, I do my homework.

[40plusnewbie]

The transformation has begun!

Less than 2 full days in, it seems I underestimated my bf by a few% points but all is good. My muscles are recovering faster and noticeable size change in my biceps after working them yesterday. They are bigger (noticeable to me in the mirror) this am. I can also see some veins in my shoulders that I could not see yesterday or before and also a vein running across my chest. Due to my bf I doubt veins will be bulging but I am noticing changes already.

Increased thirst and also a mild euphoria, not sure if it has anything to do with the chemical makeup of var or if it is positive thoughts and feelings secondary to nice changes I am beginning to see in the mirror (I think more likely).

Day 2 complete

Weight 244lbs.
Worked abs tonight, craving food more often, like every 2 1/2 hours, particularly protein. Weight increase could be combo of weighing myself after consuming a couple of meals vs. earlier in the evening yesterday and today, as well as addl fat, too early to tell. Wife pointed out that my chest looks a little bigger, I did hit that area a little while working biceps yesterday.

The euphoria was def from seeing visual changes vs. chem make up of anavar as I was checking out some pro bb pics in the other forum and started to get depressed lol

Thanks for the updates 40.

[40plusnewbie]

Woke up this am and weighed 248.5lbs after I voided, weight could be just daily fluctuations, curious to see where I will be at weeks end.

[talldutch]

interesting, please keep us up to date.

[40plusnewbie]

Well I temp stopped they cycle after my last post, my mood was bad and my eating and lifting off too. However I regained a newer, stronger vigor and resumed the var like 5 days ago, and am working down about 1 1/2 weeks of clen (last of my supply). I also purchased a couple of OTC stuff, super test, hope it's not worthless and have been taking that for 3 days. Then last night I started also taking pgcl in very tiny doses and ghrp-2 and cjc w/o DAC (supposedly thse last 2 peptides taken together amplify one's release of GH. I'm taking a gamble but would be doing the same thing grabbing chinese ghg generics.

Don't know weight, have picked up some fat over past month but muscle too and now my diet is dialed in. Still not doing cardio thou.

Looking to transition into a test cyp/anadrol cycle or dbol. I get the abombs and dbols real cheap in powder form but am unsure where I should get the cyp, I hear it's tough to brew. I'd love to talk privately to someone who has used cyp both premade and brewed it themselves, or at least someone who has used it premade to iron out the best way to use it. I can teach u the best way to use var and a couple other orals and serms too. pm me.

[40plusnewbie]

Sorry for the lack of updates. I ran into a bad spell where I was not on my game and not able to get to the gym and eat properly so I cut the cycle temporarily. I restarted about 5-6 days ago. I have also added some additional compounds to my cycle. I've been using T3 for this past week but am out now and am not going to get more. I picked up some OTC pro hormone type stuff called super test, no idea of it's quality (or lack thereof). I've also picked up a bunch of ghrp-2 and cjc w/o DAS and have been using this as well as pgcl.

Suprizingly the pgcl hasn't really effected me except for the first day when I got bad cramps, I'm still on my first vial (I have 5 and half assed the measurements and am slowly amping up doses but it isn't bad at all, couple of diareaa spouts about 20-30 min after injecting (I'm IM'in it in my shoulders) and that's it. I presume I'm on a low dose but am just trying it out, not trying to max the effectiveness of it. I will correctly measure the next vial and BW so i can keep track of dosing accurately. I'm usually doing it 2x/day.

The ghrp-2 and cjc i did basically the same thing, half assed the measurements and dosing. i'm pretty sure I'm taking more than recommended protocol though.

One interesting thing is that the numbness in my fingers is gone, not sure if it was the var, the ghrp or combo of the 2 or just time healed it.

My strength is def up as is my intensity in working out. Im really pushing myself, getting 12 or 12 and 1/2 reps rather than doing a standard 10 and saying like "OK done with this set". Another thing is sometimes on my last rep I will get stuck about 1/2 way up with the weight and my muscle basically gives out but *I* don't. I will sit there and get that last rep finished even if it takes me a full minute.

The intensities of my workouts are great. I'm busing my ass, no one in the gym (granted it's a lame planet fitness but there are some in shape guys there) is putting in anywhere close to the intensity of what I am. They are just doing routine sets and not even tiring themselves out.

My weight did go up due to 3 weeks of absolutely crappy eating and was 255 yesterday, mostly all fat gain. To be honest i"m not really concerned about being thin right now, i've become much more interested in adding mass and building muscle but not necessarilly interested in sculping my body at this point. I can focus on that a couple or 3 years down the road when i get a real solid ammt of muscle on my frame.

I have no idea what i would weigh being very musular but with a pretty small waist line ( like 33 or 34) but i def have good genetics. My calfs are friggin huge. I have very broad shoulders and a thick frame. People assume I was a line backer back in the day or something like that. I'm 6'2" so will never be a monster but am wondering if i would be like 260 or 270 with that waist size and not huge muscles like a guy who has been drinking steroids since he was a baby out of his bottle.

All in all i am feeling great! Went to the gym 2x today and don't even feel tired now and like i said i did some high intensity workouts. worked my chest and tri's in the am and then shounders and traps in the afternoon (really need to focus on my rear delts, they are basically non existent and i feel like it makes me look foolish so i am tattering that area a lot when i do shoulders and some back stuff.

Also picked up 3 boxes of pins today, going through them like crazy with the peptides. i used one pin 6 times this am as I was down to 9 pins lol.

[40plusnewbie]

I'm def noticing big strength increases and rep increases as well. Monday i wen to the gym, busted my ass working 2 body parts, went back the same afternoon and busted my ass working 2 other body parts (I used up so much friggin energy some dude said to me "Are you ok man?" as I was staggering to the locker room lol

I felt sick tues and went home from work and felt sick wed too, just figured out what it was this am, my body needed to properly recuperate from the beating i gave it on monday!

I can't believe how light the weights feel compared to a cpl months ago.

[40plusnewbie]

Current weight 259lbs.
I would estimate 5 lbs muscle in past week (don't forget I added compounds and am not near my natural limit)

and a gain of 14lbs of fat over the past month when I stopped the cycle, working out, and began eating like a pig.

I've got about another 7 weeks to go and also have 10-11 weeks of cyp enroute. I'm seeing a doctor about my chest issue (gyno? what is it? saying i have mad pain to get them to cut it out under my insurance). So i"m not sure I should start the cyp as it will throw my bloodwork way off. The var and test booster shouldn't effect anything.

If he gives me a strong stance of I don't need surgery or something like that i might just run the cyp when the var and test booster run out along with hcg. Thinking 500mg/week divided into 2 doses and I have a ton of letro on hand (I was gonna due a letro cycle to get rid of what I think is gyno). and i found my adex pills too, my wife didn't throw them out lol

[40plusnewbie]

Did a light workout this morning: 5 sets for biceps and 6 sets for tri's.

Why is it that no one in the gym I go to seems to be tired AT ALL? I mean a few on the treadmills do but that's it. Dudes are on weights for an hour or 2 and they are not breaking a sweat or breathing heavily in the least, not to mention not struggling at all to do their sets. WTF? Is it because i go to lame ass planet fitness?

[40plusnewbie]

Current weight 256.5 and lower bf than when I started the cycle and was at 240. Granted I have thrown in other compounds but am gettin great results!

I think the ghrp-2 and cjc are fantastic. I also read a blurb about synergy between ghrp-2 and anavar in kids, forget the specifics but they were positive.

Haven't taken any test booster in 4 days and took only a few var pills over that time as I have an inner ear infection that is causing virtigo so I can't work out. I've continued with the 2 peptides though. My test cyp has arrived and I plan to throw that into the mix when my symptoms clear and I can work out again.

I know my 'var cycle' is nothing close to a 'var cycle' now but what it is is working like a mo fo! Can't wait to see what the cyp does, never used test before, just var and test boosters and peptides.

I guess I am an easy gainer with great genetics, wish I was doing all of this 20 years ago but better late than never! It gives me so much pleasure to eat healthy, lift, and see the positive body changes. Can't wait to get healthy enough to get back in the gym!

[40plusnewbie]

I know I'm on something way far away from a var cycle now (var, ghrp-2, cjc, test cyp, tren) but i'm getting pretty friggin big! I got back from the gym like 3 hours ago and it still looks like my arms are like 3 inches bigger than they were before I went. And I'm not even pushing that hard at the gym, 6 sets with bi's and 2 sets with traps (this morning did like 5 sets with tri's and 2 sets focused on rear delts as they are lagging bad.

[LBSOMEIRON]

Been watching from afar and you're progress is inspirational.

On a serious note (no DSM) will you reconsider posting pics?

[40plusnewbie]

Maybe when I'm done with my pct. I just got my delivery of DSMO today for me to use to transdermally apply the tren for the past week i was using 91% alcohol and don't know how effective that is, if it is at all but DSMO def is so I will ge getting more dsmo in myh system over the next few weeks. Can't wait for the cyp to kick in, I don''t know what it feels like to be on test.

But after every workout (I do 1 to 2 muscle groups per workout) I get the initial pump or muscle blow up like everyone, but my muscles don't go back to where they were. They stay noticeably bigger even after 1 workout of a muscle group. I'm sure this has a lot to do with the fact that I'm not close to my natty peak so would still be making good progress just by chowing right and lifting right and resting right. But I prefer the boosts from steroids.

Hell, I'm alreay starting to consider what my next cycle will be, prob start in mid march or April of 2011 after mu annual physical. I want a real bulker but no deca, it scares me. And if I use tren again it's gonna have to be transdermal again because I have asthma, and don't wan to risk a breathing emeregency by a tren shot deep in a muscle. But I might do something heavy like prop, tren, drol, and dbol.

I still have a ton of work to do though, my rear delts don't even show, basically all my muscles except my calf's are small due to my large frame. They are friggin growin though, and that's what counts!

I think I might take that dsmo and the crushed pellets and use them to pleasure myself tomorrow LMAO

[Sicko]

Wtf was that?????????????????

[Morgoth]

Why don't you want to do Deca? Its milder than Tren...

[LBSOMEIRON]

Why don't you want to do Deca? Its milder than Tren...

Huh?

WHy do I drive a Land Rover instead of a Ford Focus?

[40plusnewbie]

Another workout, focused on delts, extra focus on rear delts, and minor workout on back (just 4 sets). Strength is still going up, I can get a couple extra full reps (albeit struggling and it taking a long time to do the rep) out of some of the exercises I do.

current wt: 259.5lbs

I am continuing to notice the slimming of my torso and keep in mind I have been doing ZERO cardio, I know it's not physically healthy to not do it but I'm seeking changes in my mid section that people see from regular cardio and strict clean dieting (or maybe from HGH use). I sure hope it continues. Think it's the pep and var combo with maybe a little change in metabolism from adding muscle. If it keeps up like this I won't have to do any cardio except to get rid of the below the belly button pouch and the area of love handles so I can have a cut look there rather than any noticeable fat. But I'm not gonna worry about that now, my focus is building muscle and things are going good.

[LBSOMEIRON]

Confused as to what you are taking now. Appears to be much more than in your OP

What are your stats?

How are you measuring bodyfat?

You've had more body changes in a few days than I have in months. Interesting. Please recap.

[Sicko]

Way confused I think is the whole picture...At least I am lost as to how many compounds you are taking you are all over the place bro???

[Sicko]

If you are seeing dramatic changes in the first couple of days like you say it sounds to me like someone slipped you some Anadrol or Dbol instead of Var....

[40plusnewbie]

I am taking Tren transdermally, I am taking test cyp 500mg, I am taking 100mg var, I am taking ghrp-2 and cjc 100mcg 3x/day.

I am not doing formal measuring of bf, judging by looking in the mirror. Every day I wake up skinnier and covered in sweat. I can tell before I even get to the mirror by touching my stomach.

If I could change the title of the thread I would, but I don't seem to be able to, I don't think that there is a feature to do that.

I'm also eating 450-500g of protein/day.

For about a week I was going crazy in mega dosing the peptides but have since stopped that. I have also stopped eating all bad food, even if it's pushed on me at a family gathering. "I'd prefer a tall glass of fat free milk and a big hunk of meat instead, please.'

I"m 6'2"
259.5 last measurement (yesterday)
Not sure on my current bf but I think adding the cjc and ghrp-2 as well as the tren to the var really jolted my system as my body has changed a lot in the past week and 1/2 or so. Now I see people looking at me at the gym and stuff like that when this would not happen before. Girls have also been coming by the benches when I am over by the dumb bells and the guys in the sleeveless shirts (with arms 1/2 the size of mine- albeit I'm not lean or cut) get up and leave like they are embarrassed to work out next to me.

Today I did my abs only and didn't push it too hard, when I do it's like I have super human strength as it's like my muscle has already reached complete failure and I'm only 1/6th of the way finished with a rep but I spend the next minute fighting to get that weight up there. It feels like forever it's so difficult but I love it.

[LBSOMEIRON]

C'mon brother. We really need a glimpse. Snap one quick photo. I'm not calling you out, I just think we tend to view ourselves differently than others view us.

Proof is in the pudding.

[40plusnewbie]

ul get ur pics when i'm done with my pct. and the comment about the guys with the no sleeves shirts leaving...that wasn't meant to imply I have 25" biceps, I go to a lame gym where there are some guys that are in 'fit' shape (and think their the shit b/c they have a defined bi and tri) but I outweigh them by 75lbs and lift 2x what they are lifting, they care more about what other people at the gym think about them than their own workout, so when I sit down and pick up the heavier weights and do real reps, with real stress behind them, and produce real sweat... i think it makes them feel embarrassed. There are virtually no bodybuilders that go to the gym I go to. So I wasn't trying to imply that I turned into king kong overnight.

[frawnz]

This log is all over the place. I really think you should post some pictures for a true analysis of where your progress is.

^^^^^

[40plusnewbie]

Is DSM putting u guys up to asking for me to post pics of myself?

I said from the start I was not going to, then reluctantly agreed to after my PCT, but people keep asking so when it comes time when my pct is done I might just post a pic of my tricep or some crap along with a before pic which is more of a body shot.

Read my first log, I posted all the truth when I was screwing up and all that as well as posted before and after pics (which I think show a pretty good damn change).

U think I turned into a lying midgit since then or something?

[frawnz]

No, but it looks like your diet, weight, exercise frequency, steroids, supplements, orals, etc have all been changing throughout the last 2 months. At 240-256 lbs, your bf is probably well above your self described sub-20%. This isn't a flame, I just think you need a more objective opinion on your status/progress and I feel you're in great need of establishing some level of consistancy with all the above mentioned factors/components.

[40plusnewbie]

261lbs today, not fat gain that's for sure.

ul get your pics. The only qu is wil i be 270, 280, or higher?

and my bf% guess may be off but my new game plan is to bulk for 3 yrs (while keeping bf in check) and then cut up during the following 2. I think I'm off to a good start with the changes in my cycle I made.

[bjpennnn]

lets get some pics going big guy

[LBSOMEIRON]

lets get some pics going big guy

^^^^ THIS^^^^ worth 100x more than your blog entries. Just sayn'

Anyone that gains LBs of lean body mass by the day, I need to take notes on. Again, not a slam, but I am in a state of complete aweeee

^^^^ THIS^^^^ worth 100x more than your blog entries. Just sayn'

I am 6'2" tall with VERY broad shoulders and pretty good genetics it seems by the sheer size and def of my calves my whole adult life, I have only been working them with weights for like 2 months and I actually stopped working them b/c basically every single other muscle group is lacking pretty severely.

At my first cycle, when I was basically just loosing weight I dropped down to 217lbs. and due to my lack of muscularity I had to stop loosing weight, I looked skickly despite having a fair bf by standards here b/c my lack of muscle and very wide frame just couldn't hold it at that wt and make me look ok and not sick.

Additionally, I am NO WHERE NEAR my natural limit. I suspect if I was at my natural limit it would be much harder to gain muscle than it is for me who could prob put on 60lbs of natural muscle before reaching my natural limit.

So me gaining 1.5 lbs (given my size and the other factors) is prob equivalent to someone else putting on .4lbs or something like that.

And since u guys are hounding me about this crap I am just gonna stop posting in this thread, do my workouts, etc, take my meds, grow... and then maybe post a pic or 3 when I'm done with my cycle.

[frawnz]

I don't think anyone is hounding you bro. It's just that you have no consistancy with what you've been doing for the last 2 months, your weight is all over the place, you stop your cycles and then restart them (with completely different components), and all the while you're packing on an incredible amount of "muscle" (ie, you saying you added 5 pounds of muscle in a week) while your self-described bf has been going down, all while doing "ZERO CARDIO" and probably not having anything close to a proper diet. You're either an insane genetic freak, who we would all like to learn from, or you're grossly exagerating what's actually going on with your body. With how defensive you are about posting pictures, we can only assume the latter.

As the proverbial internet saying goes, "this thread is worthless without pics."
