+ 2 Getting back into it: Test e and anavar cycle
Haven’t been on gear in a few years and I’m running test e and anavar this time around with nolva and clomid as a pct. Have arimidex on bored. Got my bloods done. Pinned yesterday. Going to start arimidex as needed when my second blood test results come back in the future. I’ve been through numerous cycles years ago but just had one quick question. I’m running test E pretty low for what I was used to back then at 400mg weeks 1-12 and anavar either at the 4th week up until week 10 “6 weeks” and then just run test for the next 2 weeks and then pct? Or should I wait until week 6 and run anavar with test all the way up until week 12 And then pct?
1-12 test E- 400mg
4-10 anavar- 25 Ed
Arimidex as needed
Pct
Or
1-12 test E- 400mg
6-12 anavar- 25mg Ed
Arimidex as needed
Pct

RustyhookerPost your pct and click my avatar...check pct is correct.
Var 8-14...pct starts next day.
You guys are awesome! Thank you to everyone who responded! Once again it’s much appreciated and it’s nice to be able to come on here to ask a simple question and get answers in minutes!
My first cycle was very close to that, 12 week cycle last 6 weeks used Var 50mg ED. Using less test than you, 300mg of test E per week and I definitely am happy with results. I did use Dbol for the first 2.5weeks of the cycle as a kick starter. I planned to stay on dbol longer but the sides made me come off early. BTW I get virtually zero sides from var at 50mg
Honestly, I don't think that it will make a whole lot of difference, but if it were me I would run the Anavar weeks 4-10 instead of weeks 6-12. The reason I would do that is to give my body an additional week to lock in and build on gains from the Var prior to PCT. New/rapidly achieved gains are going to be the hardest to keep, and your obviously going to be at a heightened risk of losing gains during PCT when your natural test levels are going to be low, so I imagine the drop off and transition back to your natural hormones would be less steep if you put an extra two weeks between coming off of the Var and coming off of the test.
That's my opinion and by definition "bro science". I'm interested to input from others in the community though. Good question, and good luck with your cycle.
Thank you for the feed back it means a lot!
No problem buddy. Good luck with your cycle and getting back into the swing of things.
I'd even go 7-13 and try to fill that gap while test is ramping down.
So you’re saying I should run the anavar at week 7, stop test at 12, start pct, but keep that anavar going until week 13? Correct me if I’m wrong please. Thank you!
Nvm I see what you’re saying. Fill the gap from when test stops to when pct will start. Gotcha! Thanks again!
That's not a bad idea at all. I didn't think about that, but one of the many reasons I love this community.
a popular method was to run up until 2 days before PCT for most orals since they have a short half life
That makes a ton of sense. I have been on TRT for so long now I have forgotten a lot about transitioning off gear and on PCT. Now that I think about it, dropping the orals two days out would be the best way to keep gaining all cycle, since blood levels of testosterone would begin falling off ~5-8 days after the final test-e/c pin.
Great advice.
Thank you for your input! It’s much appreciated!
