Starting my first cycle on Var! Help, feed back or comments please!

[brittneyleigh79]

Well this is my first post and first cycle. First some info about me

Age: 22
Weight: 168
Height: 5'5"
BF%: 20%(getting it tested Friday)
Gym: 5-6 days a week
Cardio: 3-4 days a week

I've been lifting weights regularly for 10 years and been very serious about lifting for 5 years. I am working on my cert. in personal training and am very dedicated to nutrition. I have even trained for a figure competition 4 years ago. I have a solid eating plan about 40-50% protein, 20-30% carbs, and 20% fats. My work out is very solid and consist of mostly free weights, very little machines. I am looking to gain more muscle without risking my femininity. I consider myself to be strong, but want more. Also trim up eventually even though I am not too concerned about that right now. I am looking at trying to enter a figure competition in the near future. Once I complete this first cycle I will be looking into Primo, and Winny injected or oral, possibly something else who knows.

I will be starting my first cycle of var on Monday. With the articles I have read and research I think I have finally decided to do 5mg twice a day for 8-12 weeks.

Does this sound like a good start?

Thanks ahead of time for your responses.

Welcome Brittney! You came to the right place as there are some very clever people on here and plenty that compete too .
I'm currently running 10mg of var am only as post deca cycle but as I'm only 4 days in I don't have much to share with you .
Good luck!

Thank you yeah I'm still not sure it was caused by the deca but better safe then sorry !
Yeah this is my first cycle of var. I have done a winny cycle before I loved the gains I got from that only down side was aching joints .
My intentions are to add winny in two days at 10mg so that will be 10 var 10 winny. I just ran a test week of var to make sure I got no sides maybe I should of done two weeks but dying to see some progress.
I will keep a log for all to read.

10 mgs/ day for 8-12 weeks is a pretty standard cycle. The only thing I'd add is that many women start out a 5 mg just to see if they will experience any negative sides and then cycle up the dose. That's a personal decision based on your tolerance for side effects, which can sometimes be difficult to determine until you start experiencing them. It's easier to cycle up then cycle down though. Good luck!

Thanks for the info caligirl!! I'm pretty sure I won't get any sides but I will start with 5mg to be on the safe side. Would a two week run of the 5mg be long enough to see sides or should I run it for longer before upping the dosage?

Thanks,

Totally your call. I started with 10 mgs my first cycle. It was more just a general caution of what I know some women on here do. I did experience sides and watched them closely but didn't need to go lower or stop. It's almost like gambling or investing money....depends on your level of risk tolerance.

 

[brittneyleigh79]

I completely agree!! I don't want any sides if possible lol but some of the more mild sides I could deal with. What were your actual sides on your cycle?

Thanks,

I will throw in my usual "proceed with caution". Remember sides can be permanent. A little extra hair or a slight raspy voice can be that way forever, even at 22 year old. My opinion is to always proceed with caution. I would think doing the full cycle only using 5mg (2.5 twice a day) for the entire cycle would be fine if this is your first cycle. Then you can have a better feel for how it effects your body (both good and bad). At 22 you have plenty of time (what I could do at 22 again) to come back in a year and do a higher dosage if you want to. Usually by the time you notice the sides it is too late.
