Gained 2 lbs on cutting cycle on week 1 with Var

[Orc]

I gained 2 lbs this week in lean body mass after 1 week on Var and creatine. BF% was slightly down while the scale went up 2 lbs. Im trying to cut down some lbs and maintain muscle during the process so going up 2lbs was unexpected and unwanted. Does this make sense ? Any advice is appreciated.

Diet is dialed in with clean proteins and about 1500 calories a day. Workouts have been intense including two heavy 90 minute cardio sessions.

Water weight? AFAIK Anavar isn't a mass building steroid, defeinitely not at 1500 calories a day. Coupled with 2 heavy 90 minute cardio sessions. Muscle seems unlikely. then again i could be well off! But thats just my 2 cents.

LOL,

I have had a similar experience bro.

Real high grade Anavar is very hard to get hold of, especially the UG stuff - mort of it is eithe underdosed or fake. Maybe they gave ya Dbol instead? Its happened to me before. This would be my guess.

Are you noticing - Acne on the back, a puffy face, water retension on the body, lower back pumps, shedding hair?

You may be right man ! ) This stuff is a pale pinkish color, small square 10mb tabs. Says BD on one side and 10 on the other.

I do have some puffyness and noticed strong lower back pumps the 1st week but they are gone now. No acne and not shedding hair.

They came from a highly reputable sponser of another site so I will look into it. DAMN!!!!

Its Dbol bro...

I checked with the source and he says its real. Big suprise, i know. Im screwed.
48 hours after starting this shit I was up 4 lbs. I was like WTF is going on.. so I cut more cals and ended up +2 for the week.
Strength gains were noticably huge after 3 days. Some loss of vascularity is also noticable.

yep..dbol for sure.. you can cut on that,... but dang 1500 cals..?? my maintenance 3500 cals...

What you wanted to do with the var is easy to do.. but what happens is you gain some strength (good strength) and vascular with some hair loss *(dose dependent) if diet is right, you will stay the same weight, but will lose 2=4% bf... and that's what is enjoyable about using var..typically at the end of a cycle..

Funnily enough,

The same thing has happend to me 2 weeks ago. I was doubtfull it would be real var anyway, even though my source is generally excellent.

Im now cutting at 1800 cals on what I estimate to be 10 - 15mg dbol a day and a low dose of test.

I gotta say, the Dbol is excellent for cutting with. Only a small amount of water retention at this dose (make sure you have AI to control bloat and gyno) an I feel totally jacked, even at 1800 cals.

Any AAS can be used to cut, and actually I would say Dbol is one of the best as its excellent for maintaining LBM.

PS whilst you are on that big a calorie defecit, I would definately suggest eating maintenance cals every 3 days to avoid crashing your metabolism...
