Test P + Anavar 8 week cycle

[GearHeaded]

1 week and half into the cycle. I reduced caloric intake from 3600 to 3000kcal, whereas was previously very close to maintenance. For some reason I’m gaining weight instead of losing, even with reduced calories, having increased my protein and lowered fat and carb intake. 2.4kgs gain, from 83 to 85.4 at 1.76m.
I’m visibly leaner with harder and more vascular look. Is this quick gain with such low water retention AAS normal? I’m pretty sure gear is legit from a very reputable UGL.

aren't you running test prop and Anavar ?

Test prop is going to upregulate glycogen storage in muscle tissue. Anavar is going to upregulate creatine phosphate production and ultimately Creatine storage in muscle tissue. both of these things are going to cause you to store much more intercellular water in the muscle cells and cause weight gain (no this is NOT extra cellular water weight that will make you bloated, this type of water weight will make you look tighter, fuller, and harder)

Yeah I’m running both but I wasn’t really expecting a quick gain such as the one I had previously with Sust and Deca in just a few days, but this time with much lower calories. I look tighter, so it must be it. Let’s see how the remaining weeks go by. Thanks.

Tomorrow starts week 4 of the cycle. 3kgs gain until now with very reduced caloric intake, at least compared to what I’m used for my typical maintenance/cut levels.

Strength is through the roof and I’m really enjoying what I see in the mirror: Dryer look, increased vascularity and fuller muscles.
Plan is to start Arimidex at 0.5mg 3x/week at the begin of week 5. Is this really necessary? I’m not feeling any estrogen related sides, at least until now. I really don’t want to mess up with my libido. It’s on a sweet spot right now. Even my girl is loving it.
Btw, I believe I’m currently around 7/8% BF.

Hi guys,

I finished my cycle and I’m currently on the last week of PCT.
Considering this has been a cut + bulk cycle I believe the 3kgs of weight gain I’m being able to maintain is pretty good. I’m clearly leaner and more muscular, but not with the fuller look I had during cycle. I went from 82 to 88kgs during, and I lost almost 3 during PCT, eating like a horse, i.e. I’m currently eating 4200kcal per training day while 3800kcal on off days.

At the first weeks of PCT I was really horny, more than during cycle. Now I’m having issues to keep a hard erection. Even taking cialis once didn’t seem to help much. I’m with really good mood, feeling really happy and really strong in the weight room... Could this be due to low/high estrogen levels? I don’t really feel to have low T at the moment since everything else is perfect.

Thanks.
