Advice on first cycle - anavar / test cyp
Hey y'all
I'm in the 4th week of a planned 10 week cycle and was wondering if I could get a critique.
I started off with the assistance of a friend/local source who seemed knowledgable at the time, but its obvious I should have done more research on my own. The "plan" was to pick up pct from him near the end just to save $ up front. My options through him are nolva or hcg.
Now that I've found eroids I'm happy to order from other sources.
I've been running 50 mg anavar ED and 400mg test cyp split into 2 pins per week. I'm seeing decent gains, about 7 pounds and a decent amount of strength, but I'm considering going up to 100mg of var ED.
any advice for the pct? Should I start hcg now? What about arimidex? I'm not noticing any gyno but my loads are getting a little weak.
Thanks for any advice and lack of flaming for not having every nailed down 100% beforehand. I thought I did at the time...

cdaddy7U def need to up that protein intake to 300-350 so u can maximize muscle gains. It's hard to consume it but it will yield u more quality gains and maximize ur cycle
From the sounds of it you need to place another order, So if I was in your shoes, I would get some more test, arimidex or aromasin, clomid, and nolva.
I would bump test to 500mg/ week to 12wks not 10wks.
Start arimidex .25eod now, prevention is better than having to clean up a mess. if you feel like nips are getting more sensitive, bump to .5eod. Not sure about aromasin never used it. I'd get off the anavar for wks 4-8 start taking milk thistle for your liver, then get back on the Var 8-14 at 50mg/day stay low so you will know in the future how you react. At week four your test is just now in full motion, stick to the plan and do your work in the kitchen/gym, it should be a sweet ass cycle for ya...
Then two weeks after your last pin start pct clomid 100/100/50/50 and nolva 40/40/20/20
stop taking the anavar the day before you start pct. Drink a lot of water, at least a gallon a day.
I also take: multi vit, vitamin e, vitamin C, flax seed oil, milk thistle, saw palmetto, chromium picolinate. Good luck w/ the cycle.
You rock. Thanks for this. I have more test and nolva on the way so I'll get some clomid and arimidex ASAP.
sounds like you're on point then. the arimidex will help keep down the bloat, and hopefully keeps ya from being the owner of some "B" cups... Not a good look on a man IMO?
What's your diet look like and what are your goals from the cycle? ex. lean gains, mass? I know diet pretty well, and I might be able to help ya out there. If ya want, write down what you eat in a day, and I'll look at it for ya? and so will other people hahahaha... Lotsa knowledge floatin around here at eroids I am tryin to pick up all I can and pass it on...
zewiYou can do 100mg ed i just don't recommend it unless they have done more cycles and understand liver support.
I would have switch when i ran my Anavar i would have done it at the end of my cycle instead of the beginning.
PCT should be clomid 100/100/50/50 nova 40/40/20/20 start 15 days after your last test shot
So what is your cycle? how many weeks of each?
Thanks for the help.
I realize that now with the var (shoulda started later) but do you think it's bad to increase the dosage for weeks 5-10?
So far
Weeks 1-4: 50mg var, 400mg test cyp
Planned weeks 5-10: 100mg var, 400mg test cyp.
Did you mean clomid and nolva, or one or the other?
To be honest var over 60mg a day doesn't bring any better results for me, it will bulk you more at 100mg a day but that said you'd be better off increasing the cyp to bulk, it's cheaper and more effective.
It's also your first cycle so a high dose might well make you feel a bit unwell. First few days on var even at 50-60mg a day for me make me feel kinda sick, after that it's all good.
I'd bump the test to 500mg a week and leave the Var at 50mg a day. Or drop the var and see how you get on with test alone, it's always good practice to get the feel for a single compound on its own so next cycle if you add anything else you'll know which one is causing problems if you have any. Run two at a time first cycle and you are going to struggle to work out which one is causing problems if there are any.
You should consider getting a little arimidex or aromasin in case you get any buildup of water/gyno from the test. Nova will stop it but an AI is better than a SERM for that.
Clomid AND Nolva are the gold standard for PCT.
U could use both but I would say clomid alone would be fine on what ur using but start the var on week 8 til 12 then straight on to clomid should keep gains longer then, test still ending at 10 weeks as planned that is.
