Anavar - Skeptical Results So Far

[iJohnDoe]

I'm 34 years old, 5' 8" and around 135lbs. I've been training for several years. Clean paleo diet. Hight protein and veggies. Carb cycle. I'm a fit long endurance athlete. Finished a 100 mile race recently.

I've done 3 SARM cycles. 1 GW cycle and 2 Osta. I have my 3rd Osta bottle waiting for when the Anavar cycle is complete. I had good results from the Osta. Each bottle leaned me out and I dropped a bit of stubborn fat, which is my primary goal.

I started AY Anavar as my first AAS. It has been 2 weeks (16 days). I started off with 75mg ED. I had the typical Anavar headaches that most report. My appetite increased. I had some initial recomp in my chest, shoulders, and lats. I had strength gains. I had slight insomnia. In my first week I was convinced I had real Anavar.

I'm now in my 2nd week and I'm not convinced it's real Anavar. I'm now taking 125mg ED. 50mg in the morning. 25mg at noon. 50mg in the evening. This should be a high dosage for my size. I don't feel anything. My body isn't changing. My stomach hasn't changed. My vascularity hasn't changed. My appetite has returned to normal. Usually the 2nd week is when Anavar takes affect.

I'm bummed. I spent the money and chose what I thought was a reputable UGL. I had high expectations for the AY Var. I really wanted a change in my body. I really wanted to get leaner and more vascular.

Below is my stack. Does anyone have input on what I'm experiencing? Is it too soon to bummed? Give it another week or so?

Anavar - 125mg ED
Forma Stanzol - 5 pumps ED (chest and abs)
HCGenerate - 5 capsules ED
N2Guard - 7 capsules ED
DAA - ED

Never heard of AY var. Remember var is the most common faked product out there.

I'm trying to lean out in my stomach and my arms. I also want overall hardening throughout my body. I feel soft. At my weight I should look leaner, harder, dryer. I've been trying my whole life to achieve this. I seriously just don't know what else to do.

bro with those stats you have got to be 6% body fat tops. and also the fact that you are a very high mile runner.

post up a pic so we can figure out what the hell is going on here.

but the most simple explanation for you is this.. AAS are not magic pills and you cannot just take them, wish upon the steroid gods to make you into something you want, and magically turn into that after 2 weeks. it would be like someone who has never ran in their life wanting to do a half marathon in 2 weeks. ain't gonna happen

I stacked var with test, and had two different types, both pharma and didnt noticed the vascularity until the last few weeks. I was running 80mg ED. Im glad I stacked it with test, because for the money I didnt feel it was worth it IMO. Based on the logs that I have read winny will give just as good of results for a fraction of the price. Shit...just test alone gave me vascularity and leaned me out.

1. Var is a mild to weak drug. It's not a composition changer - but it does work well for some.
2. You're only two weeks in, gains take a while, and looking in the mirror 5x/day everyday it's tough to notice results.
3. "Paleo" doesn't mean much - I could eat only bacon and be "paleo"
4. Are you lifting weights? I realize you're a runner, but if you don't want any mass AAS aren't the best choice. Increase your overall muscle mass to increase fat burning.

These are my thoughts. Really Dylan is probably the best to comment on this.

I think genetically my body likes to burn muscle for fuel. I think this what is preventing the hardening. I also think my body likes to retain water. After cardio I usually always weigh more and look bloated. Maybe everyone experiences this though.

 

[stevesmi]

at 135 pounds how are you retaining water? this makes no sense. again post up a pic if you want a true opinion.

remember I was an endurance athlete as well .. when I was hitting 45 miles a week i weighed just 133 pounds. i'm not some idiot juicehead who is commenting here who has no clue the difference between a 5K and a half marathon mileage.

This is a good point. This has been on my mind the whole time. I've believe my test is low and possibly my estrogen is high. When I hit 33 it seemed like my testosterone tanked. I think this is what is preventing my gains.

1. Agreed. I've read the success stories and negative stories. The negative stories always outweigh the successes.

2. I believe in this advice too. I try to lonly look in the mirror once every few days to give my body time to change.

3. 100% natural ingredients. No sugars. Lots of animal fats. Primarily ground turkey, chicken, eggs. Broccoli, carrots. Some fruits. Drink water. A cup of coffee in the morning. Been doing this diet for three years now.

4. Full body workout three days a week. I hit each muscle with three different excerices, three sets of 8-12 reps. I've been tapering my cardio down the last few weeks to preserve muscle.

I've been reading EF for a while. You, Dylan and the other members always tell it straight up.

Overtraining!

Hey bro... I am sure you have heard the phrase "if it ain't broke then don't fix it"... well the same would hold true in an adverse situation, which is what yours it... "if it IS BROKE THEN FIX IT" and there are flaws in a lot you are doing...

Preserving muscle while doing high cardio is definitely possible... I am proof of that... There are flaws in your training... You need to switch things up... Start training in hypertrophy mode as opposed to what your doing... 4 sets, 8-10 reps, 80 % of your max... Switch up your routine from full body and start concentrating and focusing on certain areas...

Your expecting too much from anavar... Anavar is more complimentary than anything... It should give you a nice boost in strength and get rid of some pesky fat areas but if your looking for a big drastic change from anavar only then your not thinking straight... I do question how strong your anavar is because running it at that high of a dose is even more than I would do bro... 80 mg should be showing some results... You are way undersized to begin with and I wonder just how far below maintenance you are eating... You would be MUCH better off running sarms right now as opposed to any steroid... You have no business running steroids right now... Sarms will be more conducive to what you want and help you to start getting some sort of a base... read some of my articles and watch my videos to learn about sarms...

You also need to get bloodwork done so you can really see where your problems are, if there really are any or if it's in your head... You can only accurately know what to focus on with real facts bro...

A couple of things to add to whats been said already, you're severely underweight and from what you're saying, even at that you have the 'skinny fat' problem, ie very little muscle mass, your paleo diet is not working for you, you need to fuel your body properly and begin conditioning your metabolism... I'm not saying paleo diets in general are a bad idea or that there's no merit in them, but if you've been doing it three years and you're still not on track its probably a sign that given your genetics and/or lifestyle choices, time to try something else...

I have had experience with Anavar (I was a swimmer), and found it to be good at preserving muscle IF I ate enough. Runners and swimmers burn a ton of calories training, and all the distance we train tends to take the "umph" out of cycles especially with a weaker anabolic like Anavar. To be honest, I don't think Anavar is the best choice to meet your stated goals. Also, you are getting older and hitting that mid 30s mark where being cut to the bone becomes increasingly difficult. You would do better with Winstrol in my opinion, but I honestly think you need to re-evaluate your goals and post your cycle ideas on here for some feedback. Lastly, give it more time, 2 weeks in is not long enough. Good luck!
