First Anavar Cycle - Log

[fitfreak77]

I am a female trying my first Anavar cycle. I have 20 mg tabs and I am cutting them in half to take 10 mg/day the first week. I was advised to take 10 mg in the morning followed by 10 mg at night, but 20 mg in one day intimidates me a little bit, so I'm going to stick with my gut and stay with 10 mg the first week.

Diet:
I follow an intermittent fasting approach to my diet. It works really well for me and helps me follow my calories and macros much more easily than a regular eating schedule. I fast for 20 hours a day and have an eating window between 12-4 pm, or sometimes 2-6 pm depending on my schedules. I follow a 50/30/20 ratio for protein/carb/fats in my diet.

Work outs:
I lift 6 days a week and I do cardio every day.
-Monday - Chest/Back + 25 min HIIT sprints
-Tuesday - Legs/Tris + 30 min low intensity cardio
- Wednesday - Shoulders/Bis + 25 min HIIT sprints
- Thursday - Chest/Back + 30 min low intensity cardio
- Friday - Legs/Tris + 30 min low intensity cardio
- Saturday - Shoulders/Bis + 25 min HIIT sprints
- Sunday - Off

My Stats:
-Age - 21
-Height - 5'5"
-Weight - 145
-Body Fat - about 20


^ I'm aware my current lifting split is a little strange but I rather enjoy the awkward grouping of these muscle groups lol, makes my life interesting.

I get plenty of sleep every night and I have a very healthy and knowledgable relationship with lifting weights and food. I have attached a photo so you all know where I'm starting from.

I forgot to mention my GOALS while on Anavar!! My number one goal is to add a bit of mass. In the past 3 years of lifting, I've added significant mass and 20 pounds of weight overall. I have never dabbled with AAS before, so this is my first experience.

Also - my calories usually hover around 1800. Thanks guys!

Strange or not, it's whatever works for you...so really it's not strange. Just different. and nothing is wrong with that.

Remember, to gain you gotta eat for it, even while on AAS...so keep that in mind, don't go too low with cals

 

[fitfreak77]

Gotcha, I'll throw in some extra steak to pack on the extra cals!

my old split was almost identical...kept things interesting...

Well as far as first days go, couldn't ask for much more of a success. I feel just fine.

Second day was great. Felt just fine. My lifting went well and I did 30 minutes of sprints later on in the day. Haven't experience any sides whatsoever, although it was still only Day 2.

Give it a week or so to let your body adjust.. It's way too soon to see sides

Day 6 and I had an amazing leg day today. So many squats sets! I did 20 minutes of cardio after lifting and did a 3 mile run tonight. I had a lot of energy today for some reason. Feeling great. Still no sides!

Today is day 8 and I did chest and back at the gym today with HIIT. I have to say, my muscles felt extremely tight today.. even walking 10 minutes to my boyfriend's apartment made my calves burn like crazy. I had to stretch them out on the side of the road LOL. But I feel really good and my gym session was a success!
