Anavar and HCG?

[lbliftzz]

Hello, I am 21, and currently 6’1” 175 lbs. I have been lifting consistently about a year now. I am very lean and have attached a physique photo for reference. I have done a 4 week cycle of igf-1 lr3 (40mcg daily), and two separate cycles of mk-677 recently (20 mg 5 days on 2 days off). I want a bit more of a boost and I am wondering how an anavar and hcg cycle would work. The reason I want to go with var is because I highly prioritize lean aesthetics and also want to avoid most of the big sides that come with something like exogenous test or primo. However, I’ve still heard that var can shut down natural test production and the last thing I want is shrunken balls or infertility. This just seems to be on paper a great beginner cycle that would have minimal long term negatives. But I don’t know much about the AAS world so I was hoping for some input from some of yall. Also I plan on getting bloodwork done before starting just to make sure I have no underlying issues. Thanks!

You really don’t want your first cycle to be oral even if it’s Anavar. Anavar can crash your lipids and it will start to shutdown natural testosterone production because of the anabolic feedback loop. I always recommend Testosterone only for a first cycle. But you are young and have only been lifting for a year, so you should hold off a little while and take advantage of your young testosterone levels and newbie gains. You have already done a fantastic job naturally, just stick to it because you still have a lot of natural gains left on the table. Look into some of the natural anabolics and muscle builders in the supplement section first.
And again great job on what you have done, keep up the good work.

I appreciate you thanks so much

@gphagan1 has the right idea. I'd go natty anabolics ( they're great ) , injectable L- carnitine, and maybe GH peptides before considering AAS.
Before that, optimize the basics for a few years while your hormones are primed to grow anyway. Hormonally at 20, You're basically on cycle. With only a year under your belt there is plenty of newbie gains, training and diet changes to be made to achieve what you want. Don't crash your test forever for a quicker approach short term. If you are lean, just pushing the clean carbs can really upgrade your look.

I'd also still get the bloodwork. Lot of good intel to be garnered from that whether you're hopping on or not.
