I am considering taking
anavar to help tighten up, get rid of some subq water retention. I already have a lot of muscle and am pretty lean (around 18%). I get asked all the time by people who don't work out if I am a body builder. but i don't feel dry enough or tight enough. I of course am my own worst critic and feel I have a lot of improvenment to make...like making my abs pop!
I have consistently for a year and a half been in the gym 6 days a week doing at least 40 min cardio and 5 days of weight training. I don't eat anything other than chicken, tilapia, whey protein and egg whites for my protein. And for carbs I eat oatmeal and plain baked sweet potatoes with the occasional red potatorethrown in after a workout. I obsessively measure my portions, even though I know what 4oz of sweet potatoes looks like. I only season with mrs dash, mustard, balsamic, pepper and I can't believe it's not butter spray. I get about a gallon of water a day in. I recently added in a little salt because I had virtually none in my diet and that was actually working in reverse for me and causing excess water retention.
I am not a saint and do have a tendancy to binge on my cheat meal days on a whole package of cookies! anyway that being said I have acromegaly (a disease which causes super elevated
GH and
IGF-1 ) I am on medicine called Sandostatin LAR to bring these levels down. The last blood work showed my
IGF-1 down to around 460 (the high end of normal for my age and gender are around 380/410 depending on the lab's ranges) this is much better than the IGF-1 being around 1000 before. Obviously I am lucky in a sense because I have a natural tap into extra
GH, which is why I think I am so naturally muscular. I want to take advantage of this and compete and actually get some rewards for dealing with the B.S. this has caused in my life. Would taking something like
anavar be okay with a
GH inhibitor like Sandostatin?
Thankyou for any help advice you may provide.
