First Time Anavar Cycle

[skinnyfatgirl]

About me...

AGE:22
HEIGHT: 5'5"
WEIGHT: 121lbs
BF%: 22%

ROUTINE: 20 minutes of cardio 3-5x per week; 60 minutes of weight lifting 5x per week. My weight lifting includes heaviest weight I can do 8-12 reps 3-4 sets.

CURRENT DIET: (Breakfast)- Meal replacement shake. (Snack around 10AM)-1 cup mixed fruit or something similiar. (Lunch)-Meal replacement shake. (Snack around 3PM)-1 cup mixed fruit or something similiar. (Dinner around 7PM)- Grilled chicken with mixed veggies. Also, 48 ounces of water throughout the day.

*Goal: Lose fat, gain lean muscle.

I've been working out for three years now, but consistently for about a year. My first cycle of Anavar would consist of 10mg a day (5mg in the morning, 5mg in the evening). I feel like I work my butt off in the gym, and dieting wise, but can't seem to scrap off the fat. Within the past 6 months I have become noticeably stronger but haven't really been able to see any results regarding my appearance. I would really like advice on my routine, and my diet. Will my diet and routine be "good" enough while taking Anavar? I am really wanting to do this the right way for max. results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I see three areas of concern. First, I think 22 is too young. Your picture shows that you are headed in the right direction, don't mess it up with permanent sides at a young age.

Second, 22% bodyfat is too high in my opinion. Spend a year or two tweaking your diet and adding muscle. You should be in your best shape before doing a cycle, not do a cycle to get in your best shape.

Third, if you do choose to start, 10mg is too high for a first cycle (female) I would start with 2.5-5 mg to see how your body reacts. Keep the first cycle to 4-5 weeks and don't increase the dosage no matter how good you feel. Also, drop it at the first sign of undesirable sides. (A scratchy throat is not a cold)

I think you look very good in your picture, but you can make great strides just changing diet and workout intensity. I have worked out for 15 years and felt I was stuck at 15% bodyfat. But I just spent 8 weeks strictly following my first competition diet and my bodyfat is now at 10%.

Good luck and keep posting updates and questions,

Rebecca D

This is not going to be sugar coated, sorry. Your diet is jacked up. There is little to no real food in there, and half of what you are eating is crap. You don't eat a PROPER MEAL until 7pm. A cup of mixed fruit? What part of a snack of "mixed fruit" screams "build muscle and lose fat" to you? and 48 oz of water? Try doubling or even tripling that amount. You need to do A LOT more research and work on diet before even THINKING about AAS.

You can't scrape off the fat because your diet is pathetically low in protein, lacking real food, basically NO healthy fat and the carb sources are seriously sub-par. THAT is why you are not meeting your goals.

Meal 1 - Drop the MRP unless you are drinking this out on an oil rig or something where you have no access to a kitchen. Think things like this: 1) 1egg, 3egg whites scrambled with some green pepper, onion and even avocado; 2) oatmeal with protein powder added in, maybe a couple berries on top. Berries are really the ONLY fruit you should be comsuming.

Meal 2 - Snack. Handful almonds and a greek yogurt (although some will argue no dairy)

Meal 3 - Lunch. 4oz lean meat and steamed green veggies. Can drizzle small amount of oilive or flax oil on veggies if want. If need a starchy carb here, then do 2-3 oz of sweet potato or 14c-1/2c brown rice (not instant) or even better, quinoa.

Meal 4 - Snack. Could do protein shake here if needed. Just need a protein, little fat and some carb. Hummus and celery, peanut butter and celery, etc. There are tons of choices.

Meal 5 - Dinner. Repeat lunch, but drop the starchy carb. Veggie heavy.

Meal 6 - Bedtime or possibly post workout. Protein shake.

Obviously, this is not a "set in stone" diet plan. This is what I just typed out spur of the moment to give you an EXAMPLE of what you should be eating. Your daily activities, workout time and personal preferences dictate what and when you eat.

Ditto what has been said here. No offense--but your current diet sucks. You don't need the var yet. A cheaper alternative is beefing up your eating. Pun intended.

I absolutely agree with this DIET WELL DONE!!
