Var Only Cycle Inquiry - Concerning Libido

[Gym Jones]

Crap, this might need to be moved out of this section...sorry

I've been reading about a lot of the various threads on var only cycles. I noticed most of the time that Test Propionate was added nearly to all cycles later down the line because the junk wasn't going full attention. I do have some questions around testosterone and anavar only cylces:

1) Are Test boosters (sold at GNC, Holland and Barret, and such) at all effective or are those just a load of BS? Obviously the Test Prop is probably most effective, but I'm not asking about that in this question. Essentially would a test booster work?

2) If you didn't take some form of Test Prop does that mean the junk would be shut down pretty much the whole cycle, but after PCT and time off that area should come back to life? Or does it mean it would be shut down forever and even after PCT not work properly without testosterone treatments by a doctor, etc?

Always good to get information when gathering these days. The more informed the better before doing anything drastic like roidage. Let's hear it from the pros.

1: Those natural test boosters, are for the most part, not worth the plastic they'r packaged in.
2: not an expert on var shutdown, but i have heard it is fairly mild. There is a brilliant thread by BJJ on his var cycle, have a look into that.

personally speaking...

test boosters are junk, save your $.

var will shut you down but SHOULD go back to normal either during or after pct. I never pinned before but some guys say to run test as the base for every cycle, others say if they were going to run an oral ( only ) cycle, var would be the choice.....

just started var only cycle on monday. balls are still in their typical humongous state. based on my research I am expecting symptoms of shutdown to appear about three weeks in and be fixed with mild pct, as stated above. ill be updating the thread i started in this section once per week or so

Interesting Brett, and yeah I looked at BJJs log in full again.

That is a great well thought out and documented log, but it was geared specifically for him and his body type. I think more research personally is needed before any decision could be made to go on a cycle like that. It shows he had a lot of diarrhea and some nasty soreness sides, but some of the diarrhea suggests his diet choices, use of Liv52, etc. might have been a cause. Overall it looks like it was quite effective and his boys came back. However, his statements "Loss of Libido (only on request)" confuse me. Not sure what that means.

Would love to hear a post game final review from him one of these days, and yeah Brett, I'd be interested in what your progress shows too.

The other question I had was about HCG and I know it is similar to LH and might glean natural production of testosterone as part of PCT. What I'm curious about is if those HCG Diet drops are the same thing or just some other scam. Anybody know anything about those? My understanding was HCG was illegal withoiut prescription and came in the form of intramuscular shot from a doc
