Anavar Only for Bulk - 2nd Cycle Help

[reelbig004]

Gentlemen,

I hope you've all been well. I've been on and off the boards for a number of years but continue to come back to Elite for training and diet help. I've decided to do a second cycle of Anavar only. My stats are as follows:

6'4"
195 pounds
8% body fat
28 years old

The first cycle I did was 250 mg of Deca for 8 weeks at the age of 22. I saw very little results as my diet was not in check and the dosage was either not enough (or the gear not legit).

I've been natural since, keeping a consistent training routine of weights, boxing, golf, ect. I do model on the side and as you can see via my stats I have that type of physique.

I've recently picked up 2000mg of Anavar with Nolvadex for PCT.

Given my lack of cycle experience and my stats, which of the 3 would you recommend:

1) 25 mg for 11 weeks
2) 25 mg/day during week one + 40 mg/day during weeks 2 through 6 + 25mg/day during week 7
3) 40 mg for weeks 1 through 7

My overall goal is to eat everything in site and to pack on a minimum of 10 pounds of solid mass.

Thank you in advance for any and all help you can extend.

Anavar is not a "gainer" or "mass builder." You will gain some muscle and you will probably keep it, but it is not like Test, Deca, or dbol.

That said, I use it in every cycle I have done, and typically go 50mg/ed for 6-8 weeks. I have never done and Anavar only cycle so I can not quantify any gains specific to that drug.

Doing research I found the number to be 40mg a day, 2X a day...

Anavar is cool because it is a relatively mild steriod with pretty low hepatoxic levels for an oral.

It won't get you massive quickly and is typically used in cutting cycles. Mild strength increase. Pairs up well with EQ.

 

[bblazer]

Yes, split your dose into 2x/day.

Anavar is very synergistic with creatine.

Personally, I think EQ is crap. Way too many sides. If I were to stack it with anything other than Test, it would be Primo @ 300-400/week.

Anavar really shines when cutting ,using it to bulk i doubt you will notice anything except an increase in strength,the water from bulking will soften that granite look.

I took EQ with no sides at all.

Other than anxiety for some people, I have no idea of any other sides you may have encountered.

It's low in terms of being androgenic.....means very little to no estrogen type side effects.

It helps with joint lubrication.

what sides did you experience?

 

[bblazer]

Sleep loss, anxiety, high BP, increased heart rate, and high creatinine levels.

The idea of joint lubrication is bro-ology; just like with Deca.

For mass/size I think you would need a high calorie diet and at least 40-60mg ANAVAR daily.

I never experienced any of the sides you mentioned......I'm prone to anxiety and never got any with it....I was running about 600 mg a week. What doses were you running that gave you all those sides?

My experience has been that my joints and hips felt a million times better while running EQ than without.

I train kickboxing and head kicks/neck kicks were a lot tougher for me when I ran winstrol, which made my joints super tight.

I let go of the winny, switched to anavar and used EQ and my joints felt great. To me the proof was in the experience.

I appreciate your thoughts brothers. Based on your initial feedback, I will run 40 mg for 7 weeks. I understand that this compound should ideally be stacked with another steroid, but my biggest concern is acne as I have dealt with very problematic skin my entire life.

As I've read many positive posts on Anavar only cycles, I'm surprised that many of you are implying that I will not see the 10+ pounds of solid mass I'm looking to achieve?

I look forward to your continued advice and thank you again.

If it were still around, I would suggest Beastdrol/Superdrol. You will definitely gain at least 10 lbs, but you might look leaner and drier than you did before cycle.

Being natty with a high calorie diet, you can pack on 10 lbs. The difference is whether or not you want to put on 10lbs and stay at the same bodyfat levels.

I think with Anavar at 40mg ED you can put on 5-7lbs of pure muscle while increasing strength, vascularity, and a quality look.

If you increased the dosage then maybe you can gain a bit more. I think ideally a Test Prop/Var cycle would be perfect, but you are also worried about acne.

Goodluck.

About EQ: I really saw no sides either except for acne but I get that with all AAS. EQ was really nice and was similiar to Primo and it also gave me a look similiar to that of Tren Ace, just without the extra freakiness and mass.

Thoughts on Facial Acne with Anavar?

Also, I'm reading many posts that indicate it is better to run Var for longer periods of time as you start seeing strong results around week 5 or 6. That being said, I'm thinking the following could be best and would allow my body to slowly adjust to the compound:

Week 1: 25 mg/day
Week 2-7: 40 mg/day
Week 8: 25 mg/day

Also, thoughts on PCT with Nolvadex. Please recommend dosage and number of days needed given the above cycle breakdown.

Thanks Bros!

Don't taper. Waste of time. Go 40mg, three times a day, do 20mg about 1-2 hours before your workout, with the other 10mg doses spaced out. 5-10 grams of creating in your PWO shake.

I don't think you'll increase your body weight 10lbs. You might put on 10lbs lean mass, but you'll probably burn away some viceral fat and lean out other places, no matter what you eat, so you may net 7lbs in body weight increase if you are lucky. You'll like how anavar makes you look at 8% bf, but it's not a bulker.

 

[truckdaddy]

I ran anavar/sarms cycle that I loved, but bulking wasnt the plan.

 

[misticat]

no way you will put on 10lbs from anavar only, sorry. I dont even if you did 80mgs from pharm grade would give you 10lbs.. any of that china crap is half the mg amount.

anavar only would be a complete waste of time and money..

i did 16 weeks of primo/var and put on 12lbs to put it in perspective..

 

[reelbig004]

Appreciate the feedback guys. I'm going to work my ass off for 5 to 10 pounds and am confident that if my diet is on point I will achieve my goals.

Thoughts on the PCT?

 

[Nelson Montana]

You can gain on any steroid but obviously var is not going to add a lot of water. And the dosages you'd need would be a real strain to the liver.

Size comes from calories. Eat more and add 2 BIG BLAST a day mixed with whole milk. You'll grow.
