I'm new. 1st time on a cycle. Anavar only cycle.

[Jpsocal]

I'm 27 5'11 246lbs. My buddy hooked me up with some Anavar. I've been having a hard time cutting weight & leaning up. I have no problem gaining mass at all. Haven't seen much of a difference so far, but it only week 2 at 40mg a day. Just trying to cut. Also curious about a post cycle therapy for anavar wen in done, if it's needed. Also curious of some of the vocabulary i see like "SHUTDOWN" "GEAR" I'm sure theres more. So im goin to finish my cycle of Var and see what sort of results i get. Will keep updated. If anyone had any info on PCT or anything else that could help me cut/lean up with min side effects. Id really appreciate.

I think you posted earlier about this and didn't like the response you got (100% sure). You are taking a AAS and do not have a post cycle lined up, don't know what shutdown, or gear means, but you are 5'11 246? It seems like you just jumped into something too quickly and just want a quick fix to loose weight or something and I believe you had a lot of people telling you than before you reposted. forums are here to drop knowledge bud, you need to read before your buddy hits you up with anything or you want to "cut" before you do unintended damage to yourself. but at this point I would help but I do not know how long you are on anavar, what you have been dosing it at or plan to (other than 40mg a day) or any other specs of your situation.

in short, yes, you need a PCT.
also in short - you probably won't get it before your var cycle ends. so yes, you are in a little bit of hot water, that much is for sure.
SHUTDOWN - refers to your body's natural ability to resume producing testosterone and even out your hormones. after a cycle of AAS, a solid PCT is required to help jumpstart your body's natural production and get your hormones all lined up again in the least amount of time possible.

it's worth noting that with all that bodyfat, the hardening and vascularity effects of a low dose of anavar would be barely noticeable, if any at all.

var WILL shut you down.
at this point, you need a SERM as well as some supps like unleashed/post cycle to aid in your recovery. without a pct, you're going to lose anything you gain, and also have a big problem in the libido/erection department.

following that, you need to not touch anything chemical until you have your bodyfat in check (5'11 at 246 seems extremely heavy) and understand what you're dealing with more appropriately. you are playing child's games with chemicals that are a) liver toxic b) not free of side effects, and c) could cause irreparable long term damage to your HPTA system.

not a very sound decision on your part my friend, there are much healthier and equally as effective methods to lean up. your diet being number one.

Compound: yea no I didn't post something earlier and take it down because I didn't like the responses I got. This is my first ever post. Just wanted to clear that up. So to respond yes am and was just looking for a quick fix and a quit way to come some weight. I workout consistently 5 to 6 days a week and bust my ass every minute I am there. A buddy suggested Var to me, he has done a few cycles of juice in the past. And I was just not sure about taken that step to the steroids. And as for the Var today 3/13/11 will be the start of my 3rd week and I an doin 40mg a day a don't plan on doing more then 50 a day. I dot have my bodyfat or bmi I can get all that infor tomorrow at the gym. I wish I could post a recent pic of myself for u to see but for some reason my phone wont let me. But I'm an athletic guy always have been. A D1 athlete and had some back problems fractured vertebra in my back and gained some weight. Any other questions please ask.

The instrumentalist: I'm starting week 3 of my Var cycle and I have another 3 weeks of it. So not sure what u mean about it not bein enough time to get post cycle therapy aids?

I wish there was a way to post a pic to show u my current body type and where I'm at. I'm a very athletic guy sports and football all my life just had some serious back problems that past few years and just now healing up and feeling good enough to get back in the gym and goin hard.

I can also get my bodyfat info posted tomorrow or Tuesday. HPTA?

So what post cycle therapy would u recommend I get for after y cycle of Var? And where could I get it?

Thanks again for both of ur inputs and information, much appreciated

i understand where you're coming from, and i'm sure it's discouraging to have put on weight with the back problem, but steroids are not the answer. 6 weeks of anavar and you're probably going to need a serm, and places like rxhealth take sometimes (seems all orders lately) as long as 7 weeks to get shipments delivered. that said, i think it would be a miracle if you ordered a serm and it got to you in the next 3 weeks.

you DID post prior to this in the anabolics section, it says so right in your profile statistics. and everyone in that thread told you not to do it.
your "buddy" who suggested anavar to you, does not have your best interests in mind.

you're running 6 weeks on a methylated oral. are you taking any support supplements?
when your back started feeling good enough to work out again, that doesn't mean jump on the juice. athletic or not, 246lbs at 5'11 is HEAVY. the fact that you don't know what your bf% is, or even what HPTA is, says you were never ready for this cycle.

order an unleashed/post cycle combo from needtobuildmuscle.com, then get yourself some sustain alpha or forma stanzolol. start all of these the day after your last anavar dose and you should be ok.
BUT, as mentioned, 6 weeks is a long cycle, and it's possible you'll need a serm, so order up some toremefine citrate from one of the sponsors and keep it on hand to use if you're not recovering fast enough with the OTC pct.

next time, make informed, intelligent decisions. if you didn't know you needed a PCT for an anabolic steroid, then you did NO research. IMO, you will be disappointed with your results. it's not a miracle drug, and if your body fat is high i would bet dollars to donuts you won't see the vascularity, hardening effects that anavar is so well known for.
