Hi Guys,
OK, I’m hoping to do my first ever cycle the beginning/middle of January for 8 – 10 weeks and was hoping some of you pro’s could give me some advice
I’ve done a lot of research into AAS and pretty much made up my mind from day one that Anavar is probably gonna be the best bet for me for several reasons.
Firstly, I’m pretty sensitive to DHT and estrogen which has been evident from experiences in my teens (I’m 22 now).
I suffered a mild case of pubertal gyno when I was about 16 or 17 which thankfully diminished quite quickly and didn’t progress any further. Basiclly, my nipples became very sensitive for about 2 or 3 weeks and I could feel 2 hard lumps behind them. At the time I didn’t know what this was. But thankfully, it didn’t last very long and soon went away on it’s own accord.
I do believe I am quite prone to estrogenic fat deposits although my bodyfat isn’t actually that high at the moment (probably around 13 or 14% at the moment) but I do seem to store fat around my nipples and lower back area more so than my stomach. I do seem to be quite sensitive to water retention aswell, so all this has led me to believe I’m pretty sensitive to estrogen.
There is also a history of MPB in my family on my father’s side, although neither I or my brother have suffered any major hairloss issues.
But again, when I was about 18 I did suffer from some very minor thinning around the crown area, but generally I have a very thick head of hair.
I started taking some finastride/propecia about a year and a half ago after I found my scalp becoming more and more irritated and ichy and nothing seemed to help it, but a combination of finastride and nizoral has definitely sorted all this out and I have suffered no side effects or hair related problems since.
Hair loss is a real worry for me, I know a lot of guys just say let it be and shave it off or whatever, but it’s kind of hard to let go…lol.
Anyways, to cut to the chase….all this has led me to believe I am pretty sensitive to estrogen and DHT, which is the main reason why I have opted for Anavar.
I have found a legit source and am planning on an 8 week cycle of 50mg ED.
I know Var isn’t always as mild as it would seem on paper, so I’ve stocked up on all the necessary precautions such as milk thistle (legalon)/liv 52, Cholesterol Support, Niacin, EFA Oils, Kidney Support…etc.
I am not expecting any miracles in gains, but I hoping for a nice boost in strength and recovery. I would actually prefer to add weight gradually, rather than take loads of AAS and try to gain 20lbs in a cycle of something stupid. I would prefer to use the minimum amount of AAS I can in order to gain if I can. So 5 – 10lbs of lean muscle mass over 8 weeks (diet permitting of course) is a good achievement in my mind.
Having said all this, I am now considering add some low dose Testosterone Proportionate to that cycle to maintain libido and contribute to better gains, but am not quite sure if this is a good idea or not?
Like I said, I would seem pretty sensitive to aromatization of testosterone and this is something I’ve been hoping to avoid.
I am thinking of Test Prop due to the fact it has a shorter half life and I could easily stop the cycle if I ran into any problems and the test would be out of my system within a few days or a week.
Having said that, adding Test to this cycle would obviously contribute to the gains I would make much more so than the Var alone.
I’m just not quite sure what kind of dose is gonna be best for me as I really am trying to avoid anything too androgenic? At the momement I am thinking of something like 150mg split Bi weekly, something like:
Anavar – Weeks 1 – 8 (40 or 50mg ED)…will also take something like Amp02 for the creatine..etc.
Test Prop – Weeks 1 – 8 (50mg EOD)
Arimidex – Weeks 1 – 8 (0.5mg EOD)
Nolvadex PCT – Weeks 8 – 12 (60mg, 40mg then 20mg as standard)
I will also be taking (for hair loss prevention):
Finastride – 1mg ED
Nizoral 2% Shampoo – ED
Topical Spiro 5% - 2x ED
I know prop injections can be quite painful, but I’m guessing it wouldn’t be so bad with lower doses?
Sorry for such a long thread, but I would really appreciate any advice you guys can give me. Got a lot of respect for a lot of the bros on this site, so also wanna say thanks for sharing all the knowledge and for taking the time to help us newbies out.
Peace
