first post from a newbie wondering about stacking anavar and test
Hi all,
Great info on this board. I'm about to turn 33, and I am serious about my training. I guess technically I'm a weekend warrior, but I take it more seriously than that. My goals are to increase my athleticism for sport, which is primarily basketball. I've never used AAS, but from what I've gleaned up to this point, anavar (I know, many would say its for women :p) would probably be best suited to my goals. I squat 2-3x per week, and do an upper split the other two, and I'm most interested in trying to increase my squat strength relative to my body weight, and keep as much strength after I cycle off. I'm 6ft 195lb lean, and I squat just under 400 lb ATG right now
I've seen that Anavar can cause repression of natural test, so recommend that it be stacked with exogenous Test. Would 6 or 8 weeks on var be better, and why? Also, how would you go about timing the two? Is it best to start with var only for a couple of weeks, since repression has a delayed onset, or preemt the onset by spiking test first, or just go on both at the same time? Any thoughts would be really helpful.
Another ancillary question is, how much confidence should I have that what I am taking is indeed Anavar if I buy it from one of the more reputable UGL pharmacies here? It seems that many claim knockoffs are more prevalent than true var, and if possible, var is what I want.
btw, last year my bloodwork showed total test around 800, so I'm not really experiencing age drop off, I'm just gaining very slowly since I've been at it for so long I think

Good job getting blood work. I think you should utilize a long ester, first, like Test E or Test C for 12 weeks. This way, you can get a feel for what AAS can do for you, while having time to manage the AAS routine, side effects, injections, etc. In addition, you will want to get an AI (exemestane preferred), Nolvadex (tamoxifen), and Clomid (clomiphene) for ancillary and PCT support. You will want to get bloodwork at the 6 week mark and then again 6 weeks after PCT. It would probably be more advantageous like cleanandclear said to hold off on the anavar, maybe until your third, fourth, or fifth cycle. Somewhere, on here, I read where anavar was being used by a person in a triatholon and he felt like his endurance was being lost. So, orals might not be the best for you to increase athleticism, especially for basketball. Welcome to EROIDS!!
Hey thanks for the warm welcome. I'm definitely planning to get all of the PCT (maybe hCG on top of what you suggested with clomid and nolvadex), and an AI before I try straight Test. My only concern is putting on mass without the addition of anavar or another less hypertrophy inducing AAS. I already weight about 200 lbs at 6ft, and don't want to go much above that. I just want to get as strong for my current weight as possible. That probably means a slight body recomp, as I'm already only 12% (6pack shows) and whatever other strength benefits come along with the appropriate AAS. Any thoughts? It seems that all of the users here are more interested in the aesthetic side of AAS benefit, whereas I'm looking for sports enhancement...
Maybe Primobolan, but you need test with that, too. I know I said no orals, but have you researched Turinabol? Hopefully, some other members will see this post and reply.
Moved to correct section.
Thanks, sorry 'bout that. I wasn't sure if my first post had to be in the introduction section before I could start making posts in other spots. I'm new!
AnonThis your first cycle . I would stick to good ol testosterone . With one compound if you have any reaction you will know where its coming from . Testosterone is a good start for a first cycle great gains. I would focus on nutrition and save the var from your next cycle.
Thank you for the advice; I was definitely considering taking this measured approach. I didn't want to do anything too involved, but the only reason I was considering stacking the var was because it seems to be relatively tame, easy on the joints, and doesn't aromatize. My body has a propensity for converting to DHT, so I wanted to keep the androgenic compound (test-e) low, and maybe add the var for synergy.
I think a short test (no pun intended) is probably the way to go. Would you ever recommend doing a cycle as short as 6 or 8 weeks, since test-e is a long ester? Also, is there is a better place to ask these kinds of beginner questions? I've done quite a bit of reading up to this point, but it would still be reassuring to talk to experienced users.
