If not a mild dose of Anavar then what would I use?

[warmouth]

Money is also an issue, and while Anavar is expensive, it seems to be mild enough in smaller doses that it would be good for me because it does promote the collagen synthesis in the body, which could help a little bit with my back.

Solution: Vitamins A, C, and E. All have been proven to promote collagen synthesis. I can show a reference, but I figure I shouldnt have too. Take those ED. I honestly feel that if you cannot/are not able to give it all in the gym, then steriods are not something you should consider. I think that an increased level of strength would damage you more than you already are. It is easier for your muscles to lift more weight on cycle, but not easier for your joint damage.
