Yo whatup boys and girls.
I love this forum and its helped me out heaps with both AAS and nonAAS related topics. So I thought I’d make a log of my FIRST cycle ever. ANAVAR. Yes I understand that an anavar only cycle is not the best first cycle but theres a few reasons as to why I didn’t add test and one of them ISNT cos im afraid of needles lol.
They are: 1. I got the anavar for free and I wasn’t gonna try and sell it
2. I didn’t have enough time to run a proper full cycle with test PLUS a proper PCT afterwards; I wasn’t gonna run a half ass’ed cycle.
3. wasn’t really keen for the added side effects of test.
STATS (before cycle)
So a bit about myself….I like long walks on the beach…and im also 23, 201 pounds, 182cm, between 15-20% bf (closer to 20…awks). Lifting wise bench 240 squat 250ish deadlifts 320 (all those are for a full set, I don’t do 1rep max)
PLAN
Weeks 1-7 Anavar 40/60/60/60/60/60/70 (basically based on how much I have)
Weeks 8-10 Nolva 40/20/20 and maybe tribulus, zma, and all that other stuff that is useless.
GOALS
1. Remain at around the same weight!! Partly another reason why I didn’t do test as well. I like my current weight
2. Lose bf, add lean gains that are maintainable post cycle
3. Increase my lifts significantly!! I want to be stronger
TRAINING
Since I have the time im gonna try a 2 workouts a day regime. Haven’t really finalized the details but the aim is to workout major muscle groups in the morning (legs, back, chest) then the other groups at night (shoulders, bis, tris, abs). Saturday would be cardio and Sunday would be rest. So I get through everything at least twice a week.
DIET
Gonna be dieting for the 6 weeks. Cutting out most carbs from the diet and trying to stay around 2000 cals
WEEK 1
General Observations: the first few days gave me a bit of a stomach upset cos I was taking them on an empty stomach, 2 in the morning and 2 at around 6pm, but that went away. I immediately noticed my muscles looked fuller and more noticeable…the only way I can describe it is if you’ve ever been carb loaded and dehydrated at the same time. No vascularity
Weight: went up a little but not much ~203
Strength: no real gains in strength just yet…I think there is a bit of a psychological aspect, I can push out 2 or 3 more reps than I usually would but don’t know how much that has to do with the var
WEEK 2
General Observations: stomach upset is gone, pretty smooth sailing, I take it with grape juice now, appaz that helps with absorbtion….dont look into it too much lols. Getting a little bit vascular but not too much. Muscles look the same as week 1
Weight: gone back down to starting weight of 201, but I do look like im starting to loose some bf. My stomach suck has improved as well.
Strength: increasing pretty significantly. I find that the more I work out the more it increases (stupid statement, I know). Like for example dumbbell shoulder press was 60 pounds before cycle, last week went up to a full set of 70 pounds, then 3 days later did a full set of 75 pounds, and just did a full set of 80 pounds today (overtraining my shoulders cos theyre one of my weaknesses). Haven’t seen an increase in my major excercises though…bench is the same as is deadlifts, only squats increased by 10 pounds which isn’t much.
Ps noticed that ive had an increase in the number of hairs falling out, cant really tell whether its cycle related but ive got the nizoral shampoo and am using that every second day now
