    Anavar 3x per week???

    Hi! I need some help here.

    I proactively asked my trainer for anavar . He's a well-respected trainer and has several IFBB pros he trains. He gave me my anavar today (he's very supportive and says it's great for women). However, the dosing he gave me is something I've never heard of.

    He gave me 35mg tablets and told me to take half of one 3x per week and hour before I train- on my lifting days with him. I've seen the women he has trained and they look amazing. Has anyone ever heard of a cycle like this? 17.5 mg 3x per week? He plans to run this and then clen the last two weeks before my show.

    TIA!

    Sounds a little complicated to me. The usual starting dose of Anavar for the ladies is 10mg per day, and you can always up the dosage on later cycles.

    My advise is cut those pills into thirds and start at 10mg per day for the duration of your chosen cycle. This is will provide a stable blood level and improve results as opposed to running it every third day and having unstable blood levels. That's not optimal.

    Thanks! I was even thinking of maybe cutting them into fourths for 8.25 mg per day- at least for a start.

    Wondering if his rationale is to maximize the anavar on lifting days.

    this sounds like a good start, less is better, unusual mgs dose, might wonder what
    it is, anytime ive ran var its usually taken 2-3 weeks before it kicks in, but still enjoy
    bennifits after discontinued.
    any dosage for ladies has usually been 5mgs to start, up to 10,
    ive only heard it is amplified in women, I would be on the safe side,
    I dont think sides would be fun,
    whatch how your body responds and adjust if you need (want) more.
    have you done BW.... watch your liver and kidneys

    Had blood work and everything is fine. I also get testosterone pellets at 150mg. No side effects.

    Thanks!

    I will. This isn't his first rodeo and I trust him with my nutrition and training. After my research I was just surprised at this one...

    I've heard (and tried) using orals 3-4x a week,
    but then only in conjunction with injectables so that I always had high levels of AAS in my system.

    Women don't get shut down the same as men,
    but I still think this dosing was a bit strange.

    With growth hormone the anabolic effect is more determined by the weekly dosage, than the daily dosage, at least according to a study on EOD dosing vs ED dosing in children of short stature. The weekly dosage was the same, and so was the effect on growth.

    I wouldn't translate this to AAS though.

    Ask your trainer what's the reasoning.
    Does he thinks this lessens the chance of virilization, improves anabolic response or what?

    He did say weekly for a woman is 70mg and this would be less. He also mentioned zero virtualization this way. I'll definitely clarify. He trains a lot of women who go pro, so I'm guessing I'm not unique with this protocol.

    He half life of anavar is about 8 to 9 hours. It's recommened that it be taken daily or twice a day to maintain a constant blood level concentration. Men are prone to sides if the blood level concentration of Test fluxtuates too much. For women, I don't think this is the case. I hope a vet or a lady will comment on this. With a 9 hour half life, it's probably best to take it an hour or two before workout. I'm also curious to get comments from vets/ladies on this cycle. My thinking is this, the muscle begins to atrophy about 72 hours after workout. If that's the case, wouldn't having a constant supply of Test in the body allow the torn muscles to repair itself over a longer period of time instead of taking var 3x per week?

    That's what I am wondering. I do have test at a constant in my body with the pellets, and taking the anavar every other day would keep it in my system every 48 hours, but I also don't want any hormonal ups and downs. I have no idea how it will make me feel just yet - like nausea, headaches, jittery, etc.

    The more you guys respond, the more likely I am to cut it in quarters and go with 8.25mg per day.

    I've been researching like crazy. Due to take it for the first time tomorrow.

    My trainer isn't an amateur - has used gear himself. Just a weird dosage from everything I have seen.

    I hear ya, researching stuff that theoretically doesn't exist could be tough


    Even if he/she ran gear don't mean much - some guys I personally know are trainers/coaches - and they just make up the dumbest crap






    Make sure your var is 100% legit - you want this

    Unless it's HG or possibly from a very legit source

    Don't over complicate stuff - you'll be fine

    Thanks! I may buy that. I trust my coach- he gets it from a compounding pharmacy. But it's always better to be safe rather than sorry....

    Took the Anavar for the first time yesterday. Didn't feel anything at all on the first dose (I split as suggested). I had a little bit of heart racing (like 10 mins) on second dose. Totally could be mental though.

    Agreed!

    Take it ed and split your dose into 2 per day(5mgs at a time)... And yes ask as much and as many questions here as you'll get real feedback and experience to go with. Also agree as to ask him what he's trying to do/achieve!

    Best of luck on your journey

    Those 3days that he wants you to take it... Is it b/c you guys have scheduled sessions on these days?

    If so I'm thinking he's trying to use it as a pre-w/o or something of that nature... For ex; men will take d-Bol as a pre-w/o due to its very short half life... I'm just thinking out loud here HG...

    Yes - we have scheduled sessions 3x per week. I am a hard gainer, so thinking also that he's trying to amp up muscle in the final stretch before competition (8 weeks out).

    I don't like ups and downs for sure! Anything I should expect taking this (racing heart, dizziness, etc.?)

    If you were working with me I would have you taking 2.5-10mg MAX per day.
    You need to use ANAVAR daily for best results.

    That's a wide range.

    What factors would you take into account when advising a var dosage for women?

    Interesting. In a scaled up and then back down fashion?

    Not sure about the logic but go with it. Experiment.

    I am going with the recommended daily dosing (based on how I am breaking it up - getting 8-10mg per day split into two doses). I may change it up or increase towards the end.

    Have had 5 full days. I'm soooo impatient. Ready for my muscles now, please and thank you!

    if youre a hard gainer, then I wouldnt put the emphasis on muscle
    size, but your strength should increase as well as deffinition,

    Today is day 8 and I am starting to feel it I think. Lifting heavier for sure, and I am actually seeing a "pump" after working out!

    I seem to be holding water as well. However, I just started my monthly so I can't definitively say it's the anavar.

    Also, I think I am taking too much bc it's hard to break the pills into 6ths. ugh. I may need to get more.

    Sorry I know you "trust" your trainer as this isn't his first go around but I really hope you bought the test from labmax??
    Everyone "trusts" their source not saying he would do it knowingly but Anavar at a compounding pharmacy??? Maybe but that's a new one to me. Anavar is very expensive and probably the most commonly faked AAS because it's so pricey. Every 3rd day??? One only needs to research the half life to question that one. Anyhow wish you luck, if it is legit don't expect too much, make sure your expectations are in line with the actual possibly outcomes.

    I bought the test kit but it hasn't arrived yet! I've been taking it for 8 days at 1/6th of the pill. But I actually think I am getting more than that due to not breaking them evenly.

    One thing ive learned

    Trainers or friends recommending a cycle because the look good can mean nothing

    They may look good down to abusing steroids

    I have a male friend i spoke to last night, a guy who advises his cycles has told him to do 5 week test and deca, then 5 week test and eq, then 4 week test and tren

    Its bizzare to me, but he wont listen, he would rather listen to the guy who is huge but clearly doesnt know what hes talking about

    My wife did 5mg anavar morning and evening every day for 6 weeks, she had water retention during her cycle even with a clean diet and good water intake, b6 etc, but when she came off she was ripped

    Make sure you research labmax and make sure you labmax your batch of anavar before starting (ive only read part of your first post so forgive me if you have started) but anavar is widley faked and hyped for fat loss, and the cost of the powder generates this as widley counterfeited, so test it! It costs about £15/$20 to test it off the top of my head, worth every penny

    Good luck

    Purchased the test kit but I don't have it in hand yet. I'm not sure I am allowed to say what I paid for the Anavar here - I know there are rules. Hopefully the kit will be in tomorrow and I can test it. If it's legit, then I need to ask my coach for more bc I have broken so many of the pills weirdly.

    Breaking pills is a pain. Do you have a pill splitter? If not, it's worth it. I get a cleaner cut and get better control of the dosage.

    I do, but splitting one pill 6 ways is hard even with the pill splitter.

    could never master a pill splitter, difficult to see through the plastic cover and line up half even if there was an indent showing half or quarters on the tablet..
    I bought an exacto knife and cut on a wooden board, way more accurate,
    easy to line up

    Interestingly, today I am feeling a bit "amped up" - kind of aggressive. Not sure if that's normal. I took one of the bigger pieces this morning (like I said, they are not splitting evenly), so maybe I just don't take any the rest of the day....

    What strength are they? My wifes were 10mg, she split in half (found it easier to bite them in half) she took half evening and half morning so 5mg per dose, 10mg per day
