newbie with an anavar question

[johndoe2u]

hello all, new to the site, but not new to weight lifting. never ran gear before, but I am planning an anavar only run. ive been doing research on numerous sites, and the web and it seems to be what im looking for.

a little background.

im 36 (as of yesterday). been training since i was 18 and my only time off has been due to injuries.

6'
218lbs.
22%bf est. although i feel like i might be around 20% based on past experience. estimate is based off of one of the scales that calculate your bf with electronic impulses, as i dont own a calc and my gym is at home. at my best i was down to 7%bf, but typically walked around at 10-13% for many, many years. due to my shoulder troubles ive had more time off the past few years.

typical routine is as follows:


week 1
tues: back/bis
thurs:chest/tris
sat: legs
sun: back/bis

week 2
tues: chest tris
thurs:back/bis
sat: legs
sun: chest tris

my legs stay sore most of the week so hitting them more than once doesnt seem neccessary at this point to me.

im not looking to get big (im past that phase of trying ) just trying to get a little more fit, and trim up. im solid, but have that extra winter insulation id rather help get rid of. i can't do hard cardio due to mild degeneration in my right knee joint (many years of running 40 miles a week, and heavy leg work).
i also have bone spurs on the bottom of both of my rotator cuffs so i have a modified routine that doesnt bother my shoulders too much.

i take o mega 3, and glucosamine daily, as well as a multi vitamin.

typical diet is like this

8am 3 egg white on rye/banana/1 serving almonds
10am 2 packets oatmeal/apple
12pm 20gram protein bar/green apple
2pm 1 small can solid white tuna in water (20g of protein)
4pm granola bar
6pm dinner with either steak, fish, chicken with veggies
9pm 50gram protein shake with milk

(midnight snack of 4 oreos and milk)... i know, its killing me but ive been doing it for 20 freaking years.


i know everyones opinions on taking test with any cycle but i am overly responsive to test.. even taking tribulus as a daily supp. i tend to become hypersensitive/aggressive and its not placebo... with that said, is aggression something people would experience on var? (i have a very short temper normally)

i figure i would run 8 weeks at 45mg daily. with either clomid or nolva for pct. any advice would be appreciated, based on the info i provided.

Not sure if it the right thing to do but I have my brother who is 41 doing Anavar only. He is not even trying to hear needles so I had no choice. Only difference is that he is about 8-12%bf right now and does marathons and triathlons and he is just trying to get a little more strength and toning! He is in week 3 week 1 20mg Ed to check sides Week 2 40mg Week 3 50mg and will stay at 50mg through week 8 (did it this way cause at that dosage 8 weeks ends up being 252pills and thats what he had 250) Hope it works good but have not seen anything yet. Should start kickin his strength up here in the next 1-2 weeks

i appreciate the info. my biggest problem with dropping bf right now is that cardio work ends up killing my knee after a few weeks. i will not do needles either, and am really looking for something just to give that little extra help, im not looking to get down to 7%bf again. i realize that anavar alone is quite mild as far as aas goes and that is good to me.

another question...

after reading more, i see that some people run creatine while using var, would the experts recommend that?

also, which would be best for pct as ive read many different opinions.

nolva at 40/40/20/20 will be sufficient.

[johndoe2u]

thanks.

nolva at 40/40/20/20 will be sufficient.

Is either nolva og clomid sufficient for a stack of for example prima and sust ?

1ml of each a week, 0.3cc of sust 3x a week

go start your own thread..

[johndoe2u]

anyone have any suggestions, advice? ive now added a 50g protein shake at 6am to my diet as after typing it out i see i wasn't taking in enough..

[johndoe2u]

also, i just read this..

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/catanavar.htm

based on that, considering ive never done gear before, not looking to get big, just tighten up a bit, im 36, and looking for a safe way to try aas for the first time (and most likely only time) i think i should try running 30mg a day for 8 weeks. with that said, should i still do pct. i have a very experienced friend who is a bodybuilder, and he has been around aas for a very long time who said at 30mg a day you really dont need it as you will bounce back fairly quick. but if pct will help bounce back faster i may still go for it. and if i didnt run nolva or clomid would some tribulus help my natural test levels come back, or would it have to be the aforementioned?

hmm, no advice from anyone, input, etc..
