I certainly have read quite a bit on here so I thought I would give my feedback thus far about my
Anavar only cycle.
Before cycle STATS: 36, 6'0, 183 pounds, 10-12 percent fat, been working out for years, but just in the last year I learned that I have been overtraining for years. I wasnt eating enough, and have been too concerned about gaining fat. I also liked the lean/stomach, and would lift heavy, but never really gained. I started eating more, and also wasnt as obsessed with keeping my abs.. All of a sudden I started growing.
I actually posted back in December about an
anavar cycle but only got about 2-3 weeks into it until i had to stop for work/travel that suddenly came up. I made some nice gains in those 3 weeks though..
I am currenly 4 weeks in my anavar cycle. My goals are to gain mass/strengh, and not to worry about my waistline while doing this cycle. This is my first cycle btw. I choose anavar based on research, age, goals, etc. My goal would be 190 with under 10 percent fat. After 4 weeks at 40mg a day split in AM/PM I have put on about 12 pounds!! I am eating alot, doing no cardio. My appetite has not been suppressed at all. I have been eating about 6-7 small meals a day around 3500-4000 calories. I feel hungry all the time. I have no sides that I can see except for the fact that I am getting stronger, bigger, just about every workout. I am sleeping well. I seem to recover a day or two earlier than i would when I wasnt using anavar. I have gained some fat on my waist, but I would say 3-4 pounds at the most, and a solid 9 pounds of muscle. I have 2 more weeks to go. The first 2 weeks I would get lower back cramps doing legs, and deads, but even those are much more mild now. My sex drive seems to be normal as well.. often waking up full mast. I do have PCT Nolva on hand after the cycle. Not sure how much I should take since I don't feel at all suppressed, but will take it as advised from the board. I do want to lose some fat after this cycle, but at the same time don't want to lose the hard earned muscle. Any suggestions on how/When to start droping carbs etc. but being able to keep most the muscle that was gained. I I think in 2 more weeks I could be close to 200.. then dropping to 190 would be prolly put me about 10 percent which would be nice.
Ill keep you updated after the cycle is over. Overall impression of Anavar is Great!!
