Anavar low dose standalone guinea pig!!!

Re: 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

No, you don;t need to add anymore shit. You need to stop eating. That's the problem. Too many calories.

However, if you wanna cut and efficiently use the little amount of crabs that you should be putting in, add need2slin. You'll love the results.

What about the dosing when it comes to Var? Not amount, but I mean how often should one take it? Halflife at 8h I think, so every 8 hours maybe? And should you take it before bed so you sustain effects during sleep as well? Or is it only Testo that needs to be kept on an "even" level 24/7?

30mg/ed split on wakeup,+8h,before bed, or is once with breakfest and then redose after 8h enough? Have 10mg tabs so will split it in 2 or 3 doses a day, just unsure about taking before bed is positive or not...?

Thanks in advance.

1/2 life is 8 hours, so if you can take it every 8 then great. Some people have sleep issues with var but I haven't had any problem sleeping... my last dose is about 2pm. Taking before bed is fine and probably good if it doesn't hurt your sleep. If it does then just take more earlier in the day. At a low dose like you're considering, you probably wont have many if any side effect unless you're prone to stomach issues or sleep problems.

add in the supps (unleashed, post cycle, etc) and you will tear it up! keep us updated, this is great info.

Day 59:

So far I have scrapped the low carb route, the balanced low calorie route, and the carb cycling route. I now conclude that my calorie count was too low. I feel like crap on low carb and my calories were so low that I think I was going into starvation mode. Since then I have upped my calories to about 3000/day focusing on low gi carbs. Furthermore, I have scrapped my inbetween meal shakes and gone to four meals per day and bedtime casein. I am taking in about 800 cal breakfast, 800 lunch, and another 1200 split between pre and post workout. The result???

I am losing fat (but slowly) AND my strength is up, I am developing vascularity that I've never had before, even at lower body fat, and I feel great!!! Now, before you go thinking that I've just lifting and sitting around on 3000 cal while trying to cut consider that I'm taking in about a gram of caffeine per day in the form of pills and green tea extract, I take fish oil with every meal and flax seed oil with lunch, and I don't have cheat meals. I never drink regular sugar drinks (or even juice). I haven't had alcohol since January AND...

I'm doing HIIT 2-3 times a week to failure on my intensity intervals, steady state about twice a week, basketball once a week, upper body lifting twice a week in the 6-12 rep range to failure, and lower body lifting once per week. I workout seven days a week and twice a day on the weekends. At 3000 calories a day and 26 years old my body is holding up nicely. If I were doing all this on 2000 calories a day (which I tried for a couple weeks) I would feel like crap all the time and want to give it up. I'm at about 8% bf right now.

Saw the avatar bro. Was that taken during this anavar stint? If so, good job! I am gunning for the same physique. Please keep us updated. Good luck!

I've dropped 3 pounds in the last week at 2700 calories/day. I started at 208 lbs. waking weight, and I'm awoke this morning at 184.8 lbs. I'm at about 7-8% bf right now. I've used a descending calorie count of about 800-700-600-500-100 (casein at bedtime). I have no cheat meals and no unplanned snacks. I don't drink any alcohol or sugar drinks. My diet is low glycemic (firmly cooked wheat pasta and undercooked rice, multi-grain breads, some fruit. If I had to guess, I would say I'm at about 45% carbs, 40% protein, 15% fat (maybe 2-5% saturated). My body is responding best to low glycemic low fat.

Mon-HIIT
