+ 1 Anavar and Cutting
ad
This is my first cycle on Anavar. I've been competing for five years. I've cut many times. Does anyone else have a hard time cutting on Anavar? I'm expecting to see stage weight higher due to muscle gains, but I usually see the scale drop faster than this! Anyone?

anavar was created to add muscle to people with muscle wasting diseases. cutting is about diet.. weight loss is about calorie deficits, cutting carbs, and cardio. aas and weight loss is an oxymoron and shouldn't be discussed in the same sentence. Listen to the others below with their advice for Bikini.. if I was you I d drop the var and step up the cardio and diet .. or consider competing in something other than bikini
bigwillyanavar will make me skinny and GH will give me big muscles, that's our lil inside joke grlll !!
lord have mercy on our souls ;-)
bigwillygrrl I think one day you should ditch this place and go live, real online advice and such. not behind and avatar or a kake name but the real you and all you know. there must be a way to brand you and get you in front of people.
thank you ;-)
Well have you used anabolics before? What class do you compete in? When did you start prep? Scale weight has nothing to do with the stage I compete and so doesn't my wife and so doesn't many of our friends. First thing I learned was don't pay attention to the scale pay attention to the mirror. My prep has varied prep to prep , what worked last time might not work as good again as your body becomes accustomed to prepping for shows and different tactics need to be thrown over time. What does a typical prep look like for you?
This is my first cycle with any anabolic. I am a masters bikini competitor. Competing for 5 years. Have a hard time putting on any muscle. Typical endomorph. I come in very light for my height - stage weight is usually 118-119 and I'm 5'7", which tells you how little muscle I carry. Off season weight is about 125lb and I lift like hell, usually to diet it off come show time. So,,, typically I give myself 2-3 months to lose the 8 or so lbs necessary. Now, I'm 1 1/2 months out and have about 5 lbs to lose I'm guessing. Weight is high for me and I'm trying not to freak out. Yes, I look lean for this weight (about 128 lb). I tighten up diet and add cardio - the usual for prep. Can usually make the scale move when I want to, but this time it's been a struggle. I don't wanna cut my calories and carbs super low, but may have to a little and up cardio. Feel like I'm shooting in the dark. Girlfriends I've talked to say same - cutting is hard on Anavar, but maybe we're all seeing the same thing... holding onto muscle mass during a cut makes the scale move less. We'll see...
My wife did bikini , she came in at 110 to 115 at 5'3, they judged her down for too much muscle or any muscle, she didn't use anything at all for all her shows , now she does but she does physique. She did well in bikini but didn't have the big boobs and got sick of watching some people be able to pretty much walk off the street and compete and place well while she busted her ass, in physique the physique does the talking. I don't think anavar will be beneficial to you as much as you think , but if your going to try make sure your dieting correctly and you are doing enough cardio. In bikini its about cutting carbs and cals super low along with relentless cardio while eating like a bird, ive prepped a few bikini models its now fun. When you get up into other classes where you have to carry more muscle the prep becomes totally different.
Interesting. Like your wife, I get frustrated w/some of the anorexics w boob jobs that show up and sometimes do well in bikini. I am one of the few w/real boobs and I work like hell for the little muscle I have and then to lean down enough. I have friends w/boob jobs that are ectomorphs that complain about coming in too hard - poor things. Anyway, thanks for weighing in. I'm liking the muscle gains I"m seeing w/Anavar. I just hope I can lose the fluff and have something left.
Have you tried clen for your goals? It's great to cut but keep the muscles you have.
I haven't tried Clen or any other AS before this. I was thinking of doing an ECA stack soon. Please weigh in on this everyone. Also, my Anavar cycle started beginning of Dec, so I'm at about 10 weeks in now. My show is in 4 weeks. I'm wondering if I should stop the Anavar? This cycle seems long but I feel fine.
I ran Var for 12 weeks before. I'm waiting to start cycle again but have to wait til March.
Just hit it hard in cardio land and diet out. You get out what you put in , you sound determined so im sure you will do fine. Just don't put on too much muscle or they will start marking you down. An maybe someday change classes lol good luck , you should post up more often , a lot of info here.
