6 Wk Anavar Run

[ecto9]

Hey Everyone! Well today I had to cut my workout short. I got an incredible pump in my forearms doing chest and back today. I've been at this for 5+ weeks now and this is the first time the pumps got so bad I had to take long breaks between lifts, then I finally had to stop cause of the pain.

And I cut my dose back from 100mg to 70 mg a few days ago! I'm wondering if I'm reaching a saturation point or something. Either that or there is really something to Grapefruit juice! I'm thinking of cutting dose back more but we'll see when I go back Sunday for leg day.

70 mg is working out as good as 100mg was. I have real good pumps and good strength. Def reached a saturation point. Grapefruit juice every day with dose. About 16oz twice/day or so and it appears to be working! Wow!

Counted my pills and extending cycle to 8 weeks @70mg/day. I feel that after almost 5weeks this cycle is just now starting to kick in and so extending this cmild oral to 8wks will be much more advantagous than to cut it short at 6 wks.

Boooyaaaah!!!

Hey everybody. Wow end of week 5 and today I developed an incredible pump a few hrs after my morning 40mg dose. That was at 9:00am. Worked arms today and I know for sure these var's are real. It's taken 5wks and it's really kicking in good now. I haven't even taken my 30mg afternoon dose yet and feel I don't even need it.

Been at 70mg aday and considering lowering it to 50mg and extending cycle to 9weeks. Still experimenting with grpf juice. Something has taken hold that's for sure.

1hr Walking and Arm's Today, nothing special except hit personal bests on a few lifts.

Nice work bro

[ecto9]

Hey Everybody! Comming along nicely with a few more personal best lifts today. Anavar is great $hit, it just takes a while to kick in and a longer cycle is warranted. Near the end of week 5 and going 8wks.

I'm thrilled with progress so far. I was a lil impatient at first but I just keep puttin in the effort and it's really paying off. Some days , like today for instance, I really didn't feel like hittin the gym, but I just take it real slow at first and before I know it I'm passing my previous record. I don't know how that happens!

[dupa95]

keep up the good work bro

[ecto9]

Thanks bro. Finnally back online after cable probs. Did one leg w/o Sunday and am still recuperating. This $hit don't come easy for me ya know!

Holding steady at 70mg a day.

Missed you guys. I was so bored not being able to get online! 2 more weeks to go then pct. Don't even feel shut down in the least! But I know I still should do a pct, however light it will be.

Later...

[ecto9]

Today I worked Arms and had 2 more personal best lifts. I have been feeling more lethargic as the days go by. I read others feel that from the var when they up the dose. Today I only took my morning 40mg dose. My arms are still really pumped up though.

Blasted arms today with 30 sets. Felt like shit when I got to the gym and almost turned around to walk back home! But I hung in there and took it real slow and easy with long breaks and now i feel great. I just don't understand how that happens, lol.

Taking next few days off. Need rest! Back Mon or Teus. I always try to lift as intense as possible, after a while it catches up with me and just can't go any more. Today I dis something different and concentrated on contraction movements with less weight. I think I'm gonna incorporate this into my training regieme now and then. Mind on muscle.

Updated pics?

[ecto9]

Hey Danger, I been reading your comp log lately and really enjoying it! My buddy with the camera moved away but i have 8 days till end and yes i plan on posting pix for sure!

[BAG0529]

ecto9,
Keep up the great work, I've enjoyed reading this thread. I am considering doing var, winny, and clen. My goals are similar to yours, lower body fat, increase strength, while not really concerned too much about gaining mass. looking forward to the updated pics!

Today i tried something alittle bit different that I learned from reading Dangers log! Yeah I usually lift as intense as I can everytime, but I seem to always reach these pleateus were i don't grow, so I did contraction movements with lighter weight and really concentrated on isolating the working muscle.

As i near the end of this cycle I'm gonna try this for a while and see how it goes.

I deff have to push a bit harder since I upped dose. A little lithargic I think.

Soon I'll be done and it's pct time. I really feel I don't need it cause I don't feel shut down! But I will do a lite one just because I'm supposed too.

Cheers All...

[ecto9]

Hey ppl. Well it's been a great 2 months and that went fast! Doing this log really improved my workouts alot. I planned them alot better and logging it all gave me great motivation to improve myself.

Start pct tomorrow. 20 Nolva x 2 weeks. Will continue Niacin and Milkthistle for another month. I may get my cholesterol checked at that time.

My workouts will be brought down a notch, concentration movements and lighter weight for a while just to change it up a bit.

I look a lot leaner than when I started this program, and it's all diet. Cutting is what I wanted to achieve and that I have done. I weigh exactly the same as when I started this cycle 2 mo. ago, but my waist is much slimmer, and I'm more muscular.

Weght: 187 Waist: 35"

That last half an inch of belly fat was a real bitch ppl! I'm more convinced than ever of diets role in all of this.

Still working on getting pix up. Hopefully soon. Thanks to all who gave imput and all you who viewed my thread! I'll be back with more later.

Cheers!!!

[tricitytruck]

very interesting thread...I am really looking into anavar..did you only take anavar during this cycle???

[HardCharger]

Right on bro! Looks and sounds like you had an awesome time doing it all too. Can't wait to see the pics.

[dupa95]

Good work bro!

[ecto9]

Thanks alot bros!!! I'm still working on getting pix up. Can't locate a camera and can't afford one yet!. I finished pct today. Still have my trim waistline of 35"! That makes me the happiest. Deff look more muscular. Routine at gym is toned down a bit, no big deal. I cut good off anavar. Sometime in Nov-Dec I'll be starting my first "real" cycle (500mg Test wk). So I can bloat if that is what will happen, and it won't get too out of hand.



So untill then i'll just be holding my weight at 187, and gradually building up my routine at the gym naturally, keeping my joints and muscles primed for real growth. i will be logging everything.

Cheers!!!

[Dangerdan]

Good work. Looks like you had good success. I agree that keeping a log like this really helps keep you on track. Now start kicking that diet into high gear and I bet you can continue to get good gains naturally for a bit.

[BAG0529]

way to go, what do you think your next cycle will be?

[ecto9]

Thanks bros. Next cycle will be what everyone is recommending these days. 500mg test/week x 12wk. Also last 6 wks 50mg winny/day!

[getbigbig]

you were not ready for a cycle....you never learned what it was like to really push yourself naturally looking at your build

[DragonRider]

So I'm half way thru my 6week cycle and I'm not really noticing too much. I'm hoping soon this sh*t will start kickin in by the end of this week. I've read that with some ppl it can take 3 or 4 weeks but I duno.

Thanks Jamie. O.K. Update. After doing some more reading I found that some guys found 100mg to be a sweet spot . After careful consideration and thinking maybe the stuff I got is seriously underdosed, my cycle has been revised:

Wish I had seen this post when you started.

I would have told you that you need 80 to 100mg of var to see good gains. You should have seen them by the end of the first week. Additionally, you really need to run var a little longer than 6 weeks. I would go 10 to 12 minimum.


Here are my stats. 6' tall, 225lbs, 50 years old, waist 35".

[ecto9]

Hey Dragon, Yeah I figured that out! I eventually settled on 80mg and took it to 8wks! The compound works and very min shutdown. Won't use it again solo though as it's just too mild for my money!
