Im heading to the gym. Ill check later for some input. I have just about anything at my disposal, if u girls have any suggestions. im not sticking anything else in my ass till i get some info from the girls. Im 5'5 118lbs, good diet, gym 5 days a week. Have always had strong cardio discipline, but i need to get stronger on the weights. I appreciate advise and patience girls.
Hey bones - best suggestion first of all is to start your own post instead of getting buried in this one.
I'll give you the usual schpiel - no offense to the bf but its usually guys giving girls advice about cycles relative to what they know (i.e. men, not women), e.g. "Just take some winny - it will lean you out".
My first questions will be - ok fine, you "eat clean" - what does "clean" mean and is your diet supporting your goal to increase strength? YOu don't "need" drugs to increase your strength. You do need the appropriate macros to support muscle growth and energy.
As far as if you choose to pursue a cycle -- best recommendation as a starter is anavar. Keep the dose low, e.g. 5 mg ed for about 2 weeks and just watch -- it takes about 1.5 weeks to "show" itself. If you see any bad sides, stop. The sides are pretty mild on var but there's always the chance you could have something that isn't var or for some reason you dont' like the sides that you in particular are susceptible to (e.g. bad acne). If all is ok then bump up the dose to 10 mg ed and just run it for whatever - 8-12-16 weeks if you want. Women can manage longer cycles than men can, just keep the dose low. Also women don't need to do any "post cycle therapy" like guys do because we don't have a considerable degree of natural hormone production that is getting replaced by the external hormone source.
As far as sides you can expect - what do you know to expect? Var is generally the most mild of the AAS available, but you can still expect things like:
- acne
- spotting or lost period while the compound is still in your system (ref: half life and detection time of anavar -- just because you stopped taking it doesn't mean its out of your system yet).
- bloody nose - you occasionally hear about girls getting a bloody nose from AAS
- oily skin
So, net net, your best bet is to start your own thread outside of this one and give some specifics on diet & training -- the diet is a big part of things and people often want to skip past it go straight to the drugs to get results. It still depends heavily on your diet, and often if your diet isn't geared towards your goals, you are going to be limited in achieving yoru goals. Gaining strength is NOT a hard thing to do naturally if you are eating for it. A low cal diet (clean or not) isn't really goign to allow you to push forward in strength. So just really want you to consider that in addition to whatever cycle stuff, and frankly, at a higher priority than the cycle stuff as part of the effort to achieve your goals.
