I started counting up my calories to try to figure out why I'm not losing fat faster and make sure this doesn't continue. The verdict is that I have been eating too many calories, mostly in the form of good fats, but calories all the same. I'm lowering my calories to 2300 and counting. I suspect that I was at more like 2800 before and going down very slowly, so at 2300 I expect to drop at a decent pace. If not, I'll drop down to 2000. I need to catch up by a week, because I needed to be at 13% by today, and I'm at 14%. Guess I'll tie myself to the car and have my wife drive around!

Hah! funny visual. Sounds like you have the mindset. Everything works a little differently for everybody and you just need to make adjustments as you go.... Keep on killin it.

Day 37:

I have upped my cardio to 14 min. HIIT at 6am before work and my usual lifting or cardio routine after work. I'm a teacher, so my job isn't very physically demanding other than mental energy.

My weight is going down slowly, but I look like I'm leaning out a lot! My body fat monitor isn't reflecting the body fat level that I think I'm at. I think it's overshooting me by about 2%, which would put me at about 11%. We'll see how I look in mid May. Ultimately that's all that matters.

One thing I've noticed is that it seems like my libido is down now. A couple weeks ago I wasn't worried at all, but now I find myself sexually indifferent. I've been taking 25mg proviron in the morning with my first 10mg of var. I'm thinking about upping the proviron to 50mg, but I'm not sure if I have enough for that. I've got plenty of nolva coming in this weekend for pct. I'm wondering if I should bridge the nolva in for the last couple weeks of var and then up the dose afterwards. Any tips?

In to follow your progress - I have been using Need2slin with same var and the results are sick. Check my before and afters. You should add need2slin, Good luck!

good advice

 

[Liquid 2009]

I agree! Add Need2slin to the mix

On Tuesday 3/2/10, I will begin a 75 day cycle of Anavar from a UG lab, in 10mg caps, at 20 mg/ed.

The purpose of this thread is to try to bring more clarity to the question that I, and many others have asked a million times. "What if I did a cycle of 20 mg of var as a standalone, while weighing 200 lbs. in my mid 20's, with no previous steroid experience?"

This question is a very important one, because such a cycle is often the most that the average steroid newbie is willing to try. There can be many reasons for this. I'll just explain my reasons for this cycle.

1. I still gain muscle quickly naturally while on a gain. I don't need a bulker.
2. I don't want to gain a lot more muscle, I just want to keep all of what I gained naturally while cutting and have a little fat burning and strength bonus.
3. Even if I wanted to get huge fast, I have a career that involves me being a role model. Suddenly packing on 20 lbs. of mass would be really obvious and could get me into some serious trouble.
4. I am a minimalist. I usually try to make the most with the least regarding anything. I try to find that point of diminishing returns. I wouldn't use any gear but I want to do some modeling while I'm still young.
5. I'm not doing more var because its expensive and I have a family.

Stats:

male, 26 year old, 15% bf, 203 lbs, 5'11", bench max 300 lbs., squat max 350 lbs.

I am a mesomorph leaning toward the ecto side. I have always been an athlete (mostly basketball). While on my last natural gain which ended 2/23/10, I went from 170 lbs. at 7% to 208 lbs. at 16% (all weight and bf taken first thing in the morning after piss). I plan on hitting 5% bf by the end of the cycle on May 15th. Then I will use a low dose of nolva for pct for a couple weeks along with some milk thistle.

I am now at 202.8 lbs. at 15% bf. During my first five days of cutting I have lost 5 lbs. at 3000 calories per day and 200-250 grams of protein. I guess this includes some glycogen. I want to hit 5% while at 185 lbs. which would indicate that I had gained a little bit of muscle. If I end up heavier than that at 5% bf then I'll consider it a miracle. If I drop below 180 before hitting 5% then I will be disappointed.

I will try to update frequently regarding my:
-sleep
-appetite
-strength
-endurance
-weight
-body fat
-mood
-any sides

Any questions???

Please keep us updated on your progress. Good luck!

Okay, so what's the deal with the need2slin? I've read a little bit about it now, but I had never even heard of it until this thread. What's the science behind it... and what kind of research backs up it's claims?

A change of pace

Overall, I've been maintaining if not gaining muscle very effectively on this var cutting cycle, but I haven't been totally satisfied with my fat loss despite my diet. I also haven't had alcohol since January 10th, which is the longest I've gone since I was about 16. Another interesting thing I've noticed is my heart rate. My resting heart rate is the lowest it has been in my life. Last night, a few hours after working out, it was 51!

This past week I ran into a barrier... my own stupidity!

I got frustrated that the bf monitor wasn't registering any progress, and started doing an absurd amount of cardio. I knew that what I did was stupid, but like an alcoholic, I'm confessing my stupidity. This past week I started getting up at 5:45am and doing HIIT before work, and then doing my normal cardio/lifting/basketball after work. Needless to say, by Friday I was burned out. I'm not sure why I went on this cardio rampage (because I'm not a newbie and knew it was stupid) but I just hit that point where I thought I saw light at the end of the tunnel and just took off running. Now it's Sunday and I took in about 3500 calories today, all complex carbs, good fats and protein. I'm going to start carb cycling as such:

Sun/Thurs lots of good carbs up to maintenance level because on this day I lift upper body. The other days I'm going to actually drop my calorie count and go low or no carbs (except veggies). I'm gonna moderate my cardio down some as well. I'm going to add some pseudoephedrine b/c I don't want to track down the real stuff and the pseudoephedrine is a decent appetite suppressant.

P.S. does anybody think I should add aspirin to the pseudoeph. along with the caffeine I already take in... I know this isn't a real ECA stack, so any thoughts here, and by the way, I simply don't have the budget for any more supps right now.

Muchas Gracias
