Latest Cycle (Prop and Var) - Log

[Catman22]

Hi All,

I am just writing this as I have done with all my cycles as a small log of updates with all my results, sides, changes in mood or whatever I think is associated to the gear use.

Yesterday I started my 3rd cycle:
8Weeks:
Test Prop (75mg e/d)
Anavar (60 mg e/d)

I have my pct and other aspects of the cycle in check as far as I can tell from advice off experienced forum members and personal experience.

My last two cycles I ran 100mg prop and 100mg var and saw very good results, but I am doing a lot of conditioning work and playing sport during this cycle and did not want the pumps to get out of control and effect my performance.

My goals are a little bit of everything, which I know is frowned upon, but I would ideally like to gain a few lbs lean muscle (5-10lbs) increase strength and power and to maintain (as much as possible) my engine and speed.

I know my speed and endurance are likely to suffer a little, but I'm just trying to keep this to a minimum while improving my size, strength and power.

My diet is pretty good, I get between 4200-5000 cals a day and I am following Paleo diet (except for shakes) so everything is pretty clean. I am also training twice a day, strength in the mornings and power/conditioning in the evenings.

I'd be happy to answer any questions and I am open to any advice or criticism (I do not claim to know everything about gear, that's why I am here!)

Cheers.

UPDATE:

Yesterday I did my 1st jab and everything went smoothly.

My current stats are:
Height - 5'10"
Weight - 212 lbs (aiming to get up to 220)
Bodyfat - Around 13% (aiming to maintain or drop slightly)
Squat - 430 lbs (aiming to increase by 30 lbs)
Deadlift - 570 lbs (aiming to increase by 30 lbs)
Bench - 350 lbs (aiming to increase by 20 lbs)

UPDATE:

I have done 2 jabs now and have just started day 3. So far I have felt very little discomfort from the injections (my 1st cycle I suffered a bit from prop pain early on), but today will be my 1st quad shot, which I have had the most trouble with in the past.

I did some skipping and some running yesterday and my left shin is felling quite tender. I have suffered from shin splints in the past and want to try to avoid this if at all possible.

Has anyone had similar problems while on gear? If so what did you do to help with the shins?

Apart from that, everything is good, feeling positive and looking forward to some big gains!

Cheers

UPDATE:

Did my 1st Quad shot yesterday, and today it is a little bit tender.
Not as bad as I have had in the past but can still feel it!
Doing my second quad shot today then on to delts tomorrow and the next.

So far everything seems to be going well.
My mood is good, I am feeling hard and strong and apart from my shins everything is positive.

Looking forward to Monday so I can see if there have been any strength gains in my Squat.

PAIN UPDATE:

Ok so the discomfort in my right quad is now quite bad and is matched by the discomfort in my left quad now (after pinning there yday).

But apart from that everything is going well, my strength seems good, my fitness levels don't seem to have been effected at all so far and I'm in good spirits.

Man your an animal, stats are very nice indeed.

Curious as to why you chose Var for your compound though? Not criticising, just wanted to know why Var on particular

Quad pain is very common, we both know this being Quad pinners. Some days I have pain free shots, other days I'bb be a bit tight or stiff, or maybe move a bit and it'll cause nasty pain for days.

Hope this goes well!

Thanks for the support bro!

I chose var for a few reasons mainly:

1. I have used it in the past and it gives good strength gains without that bloated (obvious on gear) look.

2. It is out of your system pretty quickly so I have less chance getting tested for my sport.

3. I am more interested in the strength increase than purely size, I wouldn't mind putting on a few pounds but its not may main goal.

Have you used Var before?

P.s. Great post on pinning technique!

Thanks man.

I was just under the impression it was mainly used for Cutting cycles, Although probably a bit naive to think that's all it can be used for

But thanks for the info, didn't realise it worked quite like that.

Edit* Nah, havn't used Var before Was on a Test-400, Tri-Tren and Dbol cycle.

Hope the cycle works, I'll follow it closely.
