Notes:
So as you'll be able to tell by my before picture, I had been out of lifting and eating like complete crap for quite some time. Summer was on the cusp and I needed to get sexy quick.
I had done an Anavar only cycle in the past and yielded great results, so I figured I'd give it another go.
I took 25mg 3x a day - When I woke up (8:00AM), around 3:00PM, and before I lifted around 6:30-7:00PM. Some say to take the last dose before you go to bed - I don't care, I wanted it in my system when I lifted, and it was great. As expected - massive strength increases and pumps. Pumps were cool at first but soon became too much, and I had to take some taurine (3 grams spread throughout the day). Had to hit the exercise bike for cardio, calf pumps were pretty tough when running. This stuff seriously did not suppress me at all until my sixth week - If I had to do it again, I'd leave it at 5 weeks.
As far as side effects - libido and erectile function were honestly through the roof. This is not what I was expecting - my last var cycle killed my libido. Rage was bad the first few weeks, me and my bros would pick fights when we went out like idiots. I eventually learned how to handle it. The stuff really hurt my appetite, which might be why I felt a bit lethargic. I was just a little suppressed towards the end of that last week, and am recovered now. Overall, it was a great cycle and I look forward to another one eventually.

Before I wrap up this post, I want to go ahead and reply ahead of time to the guy who is going to say:
"Lol @ this fkin noob doing an oral only cycle. UH HELLLOOOO if you knew anything about anything you would of used Test as a base. Good job flushing your money IDIOT LOL."
I honestly hate when you guys pipe in before asking "What are/were your goals?" When you tell someone they could've gotten better results if they would've used test with their oral, that's like telling someone they could've got more fcked up if they did heroin instead of smoke weed. Not everyone is looking for the heroin high. For me, I just wanted to lean out and get back into a solid training regimen, and that's what I did. Gyno, hair loss, complete HPTA shutdown, bloat, and other test side effects were not options for me. I have no aspirations of being the humongous crazy looking dude in the gym - some people want that, that's cool, just not my thing.
For new guys looking to get in noticeably better shape in a short amount of time, increase their lifts, feel their muscles, all while doing a fairly non toxic slightly supressive AAS, I highly recommend Anavar to you.
