Try the "almost" aas first?

[FamousAmos]

I've never done any AAS before. I've done my research and had decided to try a 4 week cycle of anavar alone - to see if I had any bad sides and just what it would do.

So, I was going to buy it, and my friend said, basically, "Hon, you don't want to grow a beard and get a scratchy voice. At least TRY this before you go any farther." He gave me some Anabol-X. Here is the ingredient list: 19-Norandrostenediol: 200 mg
5-Alpha-Androstan-3,17-Diol-THP Ether: 100 mg


Is this really going to do anything? He said that he does not personally use it, but that other people compare the results to deca. I don't have any idea why he would lie to me, but I wonder if he's doing some older- brother style coddling. If someone here has tried this and AAS separately, can you compare them for me? Particularly if you've used anavar.

If your friend calls you "hon" and doesn't want you to get a beard or scratchy voice, I'm guessing you're female? If so, I would NOT try a pro-hormone, it's worse for you than anavar would be. Anavar was designed with women and children in mind, so was primo, those two are much safer for females than most pro-hormones are. If you're not female, my bad, you just phrased the question oddly... but I'd still suggest anavar over a PH. PH's are about to be illegal, and steroids work better and, for the most part, are cheaper.

Sorry, lol, Yes, I'm a girl.

Primo is a good one for women as well? I'll have to look into that, I hadn't. The anavar is proving a little tough to find - and the one place I can find it, doesn't want me to have it. I'm guessing that anavar is not very popular with men?

Do you happen to know if I should drop my DHEA before I start the anavar?

Anavar is actually pretty popular with guys considering the expense. Primo is good for women yes, but it's very hard to find legit primo these days, so anavar ends up being the main gear for girls. I actually put a female friend of mine on anavar, she did very well on 10mg/day. Then she wanted to get a little bigger so I let her run 50mg/eod of NPP, short-acting deca. She won her first figure show on that and her insane diet I wouldn't take any prohormones if you're going to take actual steroids, it's kind of like taking asprin with a shot of morphine. It might be working, but the morphine is so much stronger you'd never be able to tell. Also, most PH's like DHEA are more androgenic than a woman would like. I'm actually about to try anavar myself in a month or two, I had to buy the raw powder and convert it myself to be able to afford it, but women need much lower dosages, shouldn't be too expensive for you. Btw, what exactly are your goals with this intended cycle?

I need to get over a hump. I've been getting in better and better shape over the past 2.5 years - starting at 227 pounds (at 5'8") I'm at 27% BF and I weigh about 150. I REALLY REALLY want to push through to my final BF and shaping goals, but I feel my motivation starting to drop a little. With "help," I think I could be there in less than 2 months.

I'm also transitioning from machines to using free weights. My major muscles are in great shape, but the free weights require some smaller stabilizing muscles to get involved, and mine are WAAAAAAAY behind. I've been having to use the free weights for 1/2 my workout, THEN use the machines for the other 1/2, because I'm so much lower on the free weights I was losing some mass/strength. I thought the anavar might help catch them up.

anavar is my favorite! a cool thing you have going for you is being a female....this cycle can cost a man a small fortune. it will be MUCH cheaper for you as you only have to run 5-15 mg's pr day. it is approved in america to treat females also, so you know the side most likley will be minimum. and like sombody said earlier it can be hard finding ligit primo, so if you decide to stick with a var cycle, maybee you can keep us updated on your progress as im thinking of putting a gf of mine on it.

Why thank you, lol. About two years ago, in a "remember the good ole days" conversation, everyone was telling their old frat names. I, as a girl, never had one So, one of them gave me that name - he still calls me that. (My real first name is Amy)

This is a BAD idea. You do NOT need AAS OR PROHORMONES at this point. On the Women's Board, you posted that you are about 30% BF? Plus, you JUST started lifting weights!

AAS and other supplements are NOT what will make the difference that this point. Focusing on a clean diet and a good training program will.

I gotta go with Daisy. Usually only women who have reached their peak naturally and want to exceed their natural limitations use AAS, and generally it is for a purpose greater than simply having a nice body....i.e. competition. And also those who think it is a magic pill which you pop at night and wake up a fitness model. And not to be mean, but 30% body fat only means that you are not working on your own to get in better shape, in which case AAS will only make things worse.
