Adding Anavar to my cruise.

[smeaglesmagle69]

I started trt about a year ago, and 6 months back I did a 12 week cycle of 500mg test c then went back to my dose of 200mg per week. I just ordered my re-up of test C and also got 60 20mg anavar tablets. What should I expect from 20mg anavar a day for 8 weeks on top of my 200mg of test? Is that just completely ridiculous, or would that give similar results to my first cycle? I'm just kinda experimenting.

I don't think 20mg is enough, typically people are doing 2 doses of 20-25mg a day (40-50 total per day). I personally haven't tried anavar yet, though I have it on hand. I think it depends if you are doing it for getting lean or getting stronger. Everything I have read says that if you aren't already lean you aren't going to really see any of the "dry gains" from anavar, but if you are using it for strength I don't think it matters what your current body composition is.

But there are lots of great threads on here talking about anavar and what to expect. Might be worth doing a little bit of searching on here to see what other more experienced guys say.

I'm doing it for the strength gains moreso than aesthetics although it's a for a little bit of both. I'm about 18 percent BF 5'10 and 190 pounds and I'm fine with that. Another question, is it better to do 40 mg for 4 weeks or 20 for 8? I already placed the order and don't want to spend another 130 dollars to meet the minimum order from colonial although I suppose I could. I'm going through and reading the other threads on anavar, but I wanted to make my own lol. Thanks bro.

 

[TRT37BEEF]

I'll let others answer the 8 vs 4 weeks because honestly I have no idea. But maybe it would be worth seeing if you can add to the order if it hasn't shipped yet. Or you could also just order a few bottles of test to get to the $130.

Individual genetics will influence your response to gear tremendously. What I will say is that for most people, 20-25 mg is more than sufficient to see good results without trashing your lipids too much. Generally speaking, all AAS follow a dose-response curve which plateaus such that at higher dosages, you barely get any more benefit but get way more side effects.

 

[smeaglesmagle69]

Thanks for the answers. After looking around and reading some anavar studies I think I'll just go with 20mg for 8 weeks. It was kind of an impulse buy and I didn't fully think it through, but I think I will get enough gains with 20 mg a day to satisfy me. I'm still growing from the cruising/trt anyway. And it will prepare me for next years summer cycle. I'm hoping to do it big next year and this will give me some experience.

Be sure to get starting bloodwork of your HDL and LDL. Get it measured again at 4 weeks. Post it here. If your HDL to LDL ratio gets too low, you need to stop the var ASAP.

 

[smeaglesmagle69]

I'll definitely post my bloodwork as I get it. It would be nice to get feedback, and I'm sure it would benefit others to see what happens to me.

I will definitely be following you to see how it works out for you. Are you going to keep the TRT dosage?

I'm going to up my testosterone intake to 350mg. Two 175mg injections a week for 16 weeks along with 8 weeks of 20mg anavar ED. I'm going to start the first of next month.

Be sure to split the Anavar into 2. 10 mg AM 10 mg PWO or PM. I’ll keep an eye out for your blood work. I can tell you if you need to back off or not.

Any supplements that can be taken to support?

 

[Luxferro]

Citrus begamot 1000 mg to raise HDL
Fish OIL (3-4g combined EPA + DHA) to raise HDL and lower LDL
Ezetimibe (Lowers absorption of dietary cholesterol. Lowers LDL and raises HDL)
45 minutes of cardio at a minimum per week
Limiting saturated fat and processed food intake.

Anavar always destroyed my lipids. Even with taking supplements for it, it was difficult to keep lipids within normal range.

The longest I ran it for was 3 months.

It’ll also destroy your SHBG too, so if you aren’t taking an AI while cruising, you’ll most likely need one. Just monitor bloods

 

[smeaglesmagle69]

My SHBG is at 59 and thats with the TRT dose i've been cruising on with no AI although I do have some on hand as well as enclomiphene. I think my SHBG is high because of kratom, but I can't be sure because I don't have bloods from before I started using kratom. It was at 99 right before I started TRT. I also used to abuse benzos and opiates pretty hard so that is probably the cause of my wierd levels, and is the reason I use kratom, and why I got prescribed 200mg a week trt. With that said, when I get my bloods at 4-6 weeks into the cycle I'll post them on their own thread with all the background and I'll take the AI if I need to, but I don't plan on it. I only have it for "emergencies" haha.

I didn't know Kratom affects the SHBG. I have been taking it for 3+ years, but all my labs come back normal since being on TRT.

It may not for everyone, but a lot of people report that it destroys their libido and studies have shown it lowers testosterone, and raises prolactin like most opiates tend to do. I don't know for sure if that's the cause for me, but its the only thing I do that could potentially keep my SHBG so high. It could also have just been because of my history of abusing drugs, but its been years so would be odd that it would continue to raid my SHBG. It keeps me away from the hard stuff so I have no intention of quitting it at the moment. I take 15-25 grams a day.

Just popped my first anavar. I have 120 20mg caps, so going to do 20mg 2x per day. I plan to get bloodwork done in a few weeks to check.

Hell yea. I'm getting my anavar and testosterone tomorrow so I might just start my cycle rather than wait till the first. I ran out of test to and it's been 10 days due to shipping delays and my poor timing. I'm starting to feel the lack of testosterone. I'm getting bloods done in the morning and I'm excited to start the anavar. Let me know how it goes for you to.

 

[smeaglesmagle69]

Got bloodwork this morning, and started my cycle right afterwards. Should have the results in 24 hours or probably less now. I hadn't taken a dose of test in 12 days so I'm curious what my levels will be because that's 3 times longer than I've ever gone since starting trt and I definitely felt it missing.
