1st Anavar Cycle Log

[Tubesocks]

Just got back from the gym. Today I worked arms and shoulders. Did some abs and 25 minutes of cardio. Pumps were good. Shoulders are starting to show more definition. I'm starting to notice some veins coming out in my shoulders...very exciting! Time for some whey and peanut butter...

Rest day today. Weight is staying the same. 136. Will check body fat % this weekend. My face is feeling a little oilier. Usually I have dry skin. No acne anywhere. I've been really hungry the last couple days. Sticking to the diet. I know I've seen people comment that var suppresses the appetite. All I know is I can def eat! My cheat meal is usually Fridays, but pushing it till Saturday this week because we are heading out to eat. Italian

Question.... This is my very 1st cycle. I take 10 mg var broken up into am and pm 5mg doses. I have not noticed any sides except for a slightly oily face and cramps during one of my workouts. Should I remain at the 10mg the whole cycle or bump up to 15mg for a week or two of the cycle? Would the 15 mg for a short time make much difference? I also don't want to affect future cycles. I'm interested in opinions and what other females are or have done?

There are no hard rules - if you want to try it increased, try it. For 2 weeks its not really going to make a big difference except to tell you how you respond to more. Depending on your body chemistry & the compound you're using, tryign it is really the only way to know. You may find that 10 or 15 is the better sweet spot for you.

Today is officially three weeks on cycle. I can tell my body os starting to lean out. Veins are starting to come out, especially a lot during my workouts. I have added 10 lbs more weght to all my excercises. Muscles haven't seemed to increase in size as much. They seem a little flat and I think that has a lot to do with the low carbs. This week I am going to add a small adjustment to my diet. I am going to add small carbs immediately following my workouts. Prob in the form of one or two brown rice cakes. I'll see how this helps me look fuller. Today Iam working on lagging body parts. I will work my shoulders and glutes plus go for a run outside. Cheat meal for dinner! Will post pics this coming week for progress....

Keep at it!

I changed my diet up a little. Lowering my daily fat, added an extra serving of spinach, and added small carbs after my workouts. Weight on the scale is at 140 now. Body fat % is down 1%. Strength increases have been great. I added 15 more pounds to my lat pulldowns and low rows yesterday. Energy st the gym is up. Face isa little more oily and I did get two pimples. So far all good!

Thanks Sassy! I did my leg workout today. Lately, once I get to the gym and start lifting I feel like I could go forever. Workouts have felt great. Diet has been great. I keep track of all my calories and macros with My Fitness Pal. Super easy to track. About to eat some flank steak. Will post pics tomorrow...

For future reference, you might give a littl extra consideration to good warmups since the drugs are supporting muscular hypertrophy but not necessarily doing anything for the weaker links in the chain - joints, tendons, ligaments. You might not feel it now, but when you come off and the var clears your system, you may be more aware of any tendonitis or remnant of the parts of yoru body that weren't able to fully absorb the inevitable increase in the weights you are working with. Good practice to add a little warm up - I'm going to say particulary on upper body since the smaller joints like shoulder / rotator cuff, elbows, wrists are usually the sites of the first tendonitis most lifters experience.

[Tubesocks]

Absolutely! Since your posts I have spent a good amount of time reading up on tendonitis and pain associated with repetitive heavy lifting bodybuilders get. The last week I have been making sure to warm up and stretch before lifting. I was even considering adding a stretch day on one of the rest days.

Here are some pics from today.... I'm currently 3 1/2 weeks into my var cycle. Arms are starting to get stronger, awsome pumps whrn working out. I'm starting to see some vascularity in my shoulders and arms which I never had before.IMAG0053.jpgIMAG0050.jpg

Tommorow is four weeks now. I'm thinking of starting a two week cycle of clen with the anavar cycle. I've run the clen before and it did a good job with me. I do get some shakes and headaches with it. I'll split it into two 20 mg doses for two weeks on. I can't seem to handle a higher dose than that or I start feeling bad and it effects my workout.
