I am currently considering a Var cycle and am gathering up as much information as I can before deciding if this is right for me.
As I said, I am a 41yr old female. I am 5'7", 135lbs and about 20% bf (can't find a bod pod in my area so I am giving you my number from a recent bio impedance analysis). I have been weight training for about 3 years now and have been in 2 competitions (masters bikini and masters fitness).
I am looking to add more lean mass while keeping as lean as possible and from what I can see, Anavar would give a nice result based on what I am looking for, which is more figure than bikini/fitness.
I am looking for some good, solid advice on cycling Anavar. I am in good health, although I have mild hypothyroidism which I take Synthroid for (.05mg).
This is kind of what I have accumulated in terms of cycle/dosage:
- Start at 10mg/day, split into 2 doses of 5mg each. I have also read 5mg split into 2 2.5 doses and then cycle up to 10mg after 2-3 weeks. Which is better?
- Cycle should last 8-10 weeks. I personally would start with 8 weeks.
- Tapering. Some say to taper. Other don't bother. Would the more conservative route be to taper? If so, I am a conservative person and would opt for that route.
- PCT. I am having a hard time finding specific information for women. It doesn't look like PCT is as strict as with other AAS, however it still important. Again - I am conservative. From what I have read, a liver detox should be done (i.e. milk thistle). I also read something to help with mood rebounds...for estrogen...but I don't quite get the actual products involved. I'd love some more information on that!
- Diet. Got it. Must eat enough quality foods in order to feed the new growth. Been eating clean for years. My biggest concern is eating enough so I will have to monitor that in-cycle.
- Training. I currently do crossfit (2-3 times per week), weight train (2-3 times per week) and play ball hockey (2 times per week). Should I move towards more weight training while cycling?
- Sourcing. I am totally not asking where to source from. I will figure that out when the time comes. I know Var is "expensive" however the definition of "expensive" is different for everyone lol! So...is it ok to ask about how much legit Var should cost (about)?
I appreciate any help and advice you have!
Thanks
