my first cycle.. please help :)

[olivia420]

This is my first cycle.. Just had a few questions if you could please help me out. I'd appreciate all the feedback I can get lol thank you

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 155 lbs
BF: 28%
Age: 21
Years training: 3
Avg caloric intake: 1800 (off) 2100 (on)

Anavar Only
Week 1: 5 mg x 7
Week 2: 7.5 mg x 3 then 10 mg x 4
Week 3-12: 10 mg x 7
Week 13: 5 mg x 3 then 2.5 mg x 4
Week 13-16/18: Nolvadex 5 mg ED

Should I taper up with Anavar or is it not necessary?

Is 5 mg of Nolvadex a proper dosage & would it be okay to do Clenbuterol 100 mcg/day during Weeks 13-17, 2 weeks on 1 week off 2 weeks on to take advantage of the low estrogen levels to burn off some fat at the end?

I know a high protein diet is ideal.. what percentages of the macronutrients are best.. i.e. 40/40/20 or 50/30/20? (pro,carb,fat)

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated !

Welcome to Elite I wouldn't recommend taking novladex your rebound will be way worse if you do. As for the var best to start at 5 mg and keep it there you could split it 2.5mg in the a.m and 2.5 mg in the p.m. Diet is very individual what has worked for you in the past?

Thank you for replying! I usually only keep track of the amount of protein I eat (around 130g) and not carbs and fat. So no Nolva at all? I was planning on taking Anavar for bulking and then taking Winny for cutting.. but I've read many times to not take Winny during your first cycle which is why I thought to take Nolva as an alternative. Should I just stick to Anavar for my first cycle?

I'd just stick to the var as well. That way, you'll be able to determine sides as well. I don't think it's necessary to taper down var.

Like QT said, diet is very individual. The good thing about tracking all your macros is that if you hit a plateau or stall, you'll be able to know where you can make changes and what areas worked or didn't work for you. If you're bulking, I'd start with a 40/40/20 split but that's just imo....as long as you're getting enough food and keeping it clean enough to minimize fat gain, you should be good to go!

Who ever told you to pyramid var has no clue giving you any advice! It shows they don't know the basics about steroids... in particular var. I am glad you came on here.
I agree about the nolva. No need.
I would avoid winny all around. That would be me if I was a woman any way. I am not too sure what your goals are though. Are you looking to compete?
Some women blow up on winny. Some get massive side effects. Some have no issues at all.
I would stick with 5mgs of var as QT described it.
Karma for posting and asking questions!!!

No novla it is an anti estrogen which will supress youre natural estrogen levels the rebound on it hard very hard emotional think about the worst PMS you had in your life now multiply it by 20 that is the novla rebound. Plus there is also a fat rebound from it. In addition to that novla being a brest cancer drug it will eat you natural breast tissue/fat and that wont rebound back. I really only ever recommend novladex for experienced competitors.

I would up your protein a little closer to 160g or more as for macro break down I find generaly speaking 40/30/30 protein/carbs/fat is a good split.

Agree with Slat about the pyramiding thing. That was typical advice like 8 years ago. No one who has done any research would suggest that anymore.

Since this is your first cycle, I'd urge you to take as little anavar as possible. Less AAS means less chance of side effects and since you're a virgin, 5mg is likely to return nice gains for you. Maybe ramp to 10mg after 8 full weeks, but 6 minimum. Don't taper down.

As for the anti-e, DO taper down. Ladies find they are less likely to blow up with major rebound water when they taper down. Arimidex seems to be a better choice, though I've not personally ever run any.
