First *real* bulking cycle & some questions!

[tical]

Okay guys,

Starting in sept, I was planning on running 400mg of test prop EW for 10 weeks and throwing in 40mg var ED (weeks 3-12) then jumping on the PCT around week 13.

I'm looking to build a good amount of mass but am kind of weary of AAS like dbol (gyno) & deca (deca dick). I know anavar isn't great for mass building, but at 40mg ED it should put on some quality mass right?

My question is, what would give me the best gains overall?

an anavar + test cycle or a straight test cycle and then a seperate 40mg ED anavar cycle down the road? What type of gains could I expect from each?

Tryin to get the best bang for my buck, help me out! Other suggestions for "low side" good mass building stacks are welcome too!

This is a good beginner cycle for "low sides" and good gains ....(its too late for me to elaborate more than that right now )

You do have an anti-aromatase or nolvadex on hand already in case of gyno problems, correct? Some people are more sensitive to the estrogen than others and it's always a wise precaution. The cycle you outlined sounds good. Personally, for cost effectiveness and sides I would always go for a test only cycle with an anti-aromatase. For a beginner 500mg EW in a test only cycle should give some solid gains and would be much cheaper than adding the var.

I'm not sure that I would use anavar for a bulking cycle. Typically, you'll see other drugs such as deca/dbol or anadrol(which scares me) used for people that are looking for just sheer mass as opposed to LBM...but you will see a nice strength increase, make sure to keep cals/carbs/protein up....good luck...

so far I'm into my 17th day of my cycle and up 8lbs with solid strength increase. I'm running test cyp at 250mg...EQ at 400mg and dbol at 20mg ed(for 4 wks)
I also us liquidex .5mg eod and milk thirstle with saw palmetto...not to mention a load of other vitamins...so far everything is very stable in my system outside of the damn dbol back pumps that has just started 2 days ago. Is it the best regimen for me as far as getting the best bang for the buck...don't know, but it's what I chose based on the knowledge I obtained from research! I don't think you have to fear AAS as long as you get educated start with low dosages, take precautions and find your tolerance levels gradually. I know most think that dbol at 20mg is a waste, but hey I think 40mg a day is a waste and a threat to my health, but that's me...and being that it's your body, you must find what works for you. The question about what would give you the best overall gains is totally based on your body, your diet and your training methods all of which only you know!

you do know that you have to run the prop at least every other day right? over 10 weeks that = a lot of shots.
if you dont want to use dbol or deca you could try equipoise @ 400 mg/ew....i know a few guys how have done a deca/eq stack and put on some serious size
