Appropriate Weight Gain on first Anavar cycle?

[lil_miss_muscle]

Started my first anavar cycle 2 weeks ago. Before starting, I had weight trained pretty seriously for the last 3-4 years, and competed very successfully as a natty during those years. feel i had reached my genetic potential. Currently taking 10mg/day, havnt really experienced any sides except my normally bad skin has gotten slightly worse. My diet is squeaky clean, and is a at maintenance levels currently, however i eat as strict/clean as if i were prepping. Have felt great strength gains during training, and been smashing PB's left right and centre I weight train 6 days a week, with one day of active recovery. I train legs 3x a week and everything else, falls into place around that.. I have noticed some pretty decent muscle hardening, and i feel i have filled out a bit as well, however the scales is saying i have gained 2kgs in the last 2 weeks... there is no chance this could all be muscle.. could it..? My question is, how much weight gain should a hard-training, hard dieting girl expect on her first cycle? I dont think it could possibly be water bloating, cos my abs have reappeared since starting the cycle.. so does anyone have any explanation for this? thanks in advance

10mg a day? thats a womens dose of var....

oh you are a woman! haha. well then seems as its your first cycle it is possible most of the weight gain is muscle and probably some extra glycogen in the muscle.

You sound like a hard trainer and good dieter so yes, 2kg in 2 weeks of lean muscle sounds possible! Espeacilly with var you couldn't expect much fat or water gain. Tho I'd only ever recommend a var only cycle to females. 10mg a day should be plenty for a female, just keep an eye on masculine side effects. Hope all goes well, Keep us updated! If all goes well you could try a primobolan cycle next. Another great compound women can use.

Most women have water flux when starting a cycle it is the hormones that cause this

My wife had that issue as well prob have good muscle gain but I don't think that much just in two weeks
Maybe half of that
But women are notorious for getting a little bit of water right at the beginning of a anavar cycle

But I could be wrong ! But for ur knowledge most women do start cycle with a bit of water weight

Sounds like you're doing it all right!! It's refreshing to have someone post here who has everything in order AND doesn't jump right on to 20 mgs. It's pretty common to see weight gain, which is often surprising for women as they think var is used for "cutting". I did my first cycle much like yours and stretched it out to 12 weeks but did gain 17 lbs. I kept 12 of that doing exactly what you are doing. There could be some water weight in there but also some growth too.

Good luck! Keep us updated on your results!
