    Hey everyone

    Finally decided to sign up on here instead of lurking around.

    Little background on me. For the longest time I was not eating correctly (or even eating) thinking that was the best way to lose weight. I took fat burners and ate vegetables/fruit all day while doing p90x. That got me no where as I never lost a pound and was always tired. I started dating a guy (who is on this board) who is VERY into proper nutrition, dieting and training. I was interested but thought weights + a girl would mean I'd be big and bulky. After talking to him about it, he got me on a strict meal plan while doing p90x. Within weeks I already saw a change and I just wanted to keep going. After about 2 months of being on the meal plan and doing p90x he told me if I wanted to take it to the next level I'd have to join a gym. He told me to trust him that I wouldn't be "big and bulky" like a guy and that I would lift just like him, give or take a few lbs. on the bar I took the plunge and decided to give it a try, I was hooked! I have been lifting and dieting for a good amount of time. He taught me form before anything and said the weight would come later.

    Stats:
    26
    5'4
    138lbs (started at 135lbs and got down to 128lbs)
    ~15% BF (started at 22-25%)

    Flat bench: 115lb
    Squats (parallel to floor): 145lb
    Deadlift: 135lb

    Main reason why I am here is because I am on week 10 of taking anavar . How I ran it:

    Week 1 2.5mg ED
    Week 2 5mg ED
    Week 3-4 10mg ED
    Week 5-9 15mg ED
    Week 10 10mg ED
    Week 11 5mg ED
    Week 12 2.5mg ED

    I have read a lot of threads that I don't need to PCT like a guy and then I read some where they suggest I should due to estrogen rebound. I am just trying to get a better understanding from people who have actually had experience with it.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

    Your correct...woman don't need to PCT like men. And, we don't need to peak our cycle either. You build up to the amount based on you and your experience and keep it there.

    The cycle could have just been 10 mg through out the entire 10 weeks.

    Thank you so much! I will know for next time. Can't wait now! Is it the same for guys, the "off" time? Go off for as long as you were on?

    First, welcome, sorry so late!

    Second - I'm not sure who your BF is or if I even know him, but based on the bold, I like him.

    So many women think they'll get big and bulky from lifting. The reality is it takes guys years to achieve that look, and females simply don't have the genetics ('freaks' aside) to attain that look naturally.

    Anyway, glad you're on the right path, stick around!
