Pulsing Anavar?

[Brainsmasher]

I'm ready to do my first cycle, and will probably begin within the next couple days. Hopefully I can get some feedback before I get too far in. I have a time problem however, as there is a meet coming up very quickly, so I'm about to start before I get all my answers I guess. Its going to be a short, relatively safe cycle (Anavar, 40mg/day, 7 weeks), so I'm not too worried about screwing anything up.

I've been reading the "pulsing orals" thread for a while now and got to about page 30, but see nothing on Anavar. I realize it is more for methyls and PH's, but Anavar is an oral (mine are tabs) so I figured it should work? The info i need is probably on page 31, lol.

My original plan was to just do a basic no-brainer cycle of 40kg a day, ED. My tabs are 20mg. One in the morning and one after my workout, which is usually around 3 hours after I get up, for a total of 8 hours after the first dose. 100 tabs should last 7 weeks. The stuff I have is from an UGL in Canada, and according to a Google search is very reputable. I'd name the lab for confirmation but I guess I'm not allowed?

After reading that thread, or some of it, now I'm thinking of possibly pulsing it instead. I like the idea of a more tuned effect, less sides and most importantly, the possibility of no PCT, with a mild one like Anavar anyway. If it comes down to half-life, which is about 9 hours? Is that too long? What would be the best way to pulse this? My training schedule is 7 days a week, with essentially heavy/light/heavy/light/heavy/light/so on. Every week is different, but the heavy/light scheme stays constant.

What would work better?
Day/dose
1 / 60
2 / 60
3 / 0
4 / 0

repeat.

I could also go 80/80/0/0 for a better effect I suppose.

Or

Day/dose
1 / 60
2 / 0
3 / 60
4 / 0

Repeat.

Or

Day/dose
1 / 60
2 / 40
3 / 40
4 / 0

Repeat.

Would the latter be enough time off?

How about just emphasizing the heaviest day (heavy squat/bench/deadlift day)?

1 / 80-100
2 / 0
3 / 0
4 / 0

Repeat.

Does Anavar work like that? Can it be used only on the days I really need it? Would the effect be enough? I really dont need a lot from a drug.

I train on a homemade Sheiko style program, benching 3-4 times a week, squatting every day, deadlifting 2-3 times a week, with Olympic lifts thrown in at least 2-3 times a week. Obviously not every day is a heavy day, I'm not that nuts. Yet.


Would this be a better plan than a straight cycle for this drug? I only have less than 3 weeks until the competition, but I plan on seeing the cycle through. I dont tend to peak for contests anyway. If this adds even 10-15lbs to my weakest lift in that time I will be ecstatic.


I'm hoping Dr. D will see this, as he started that other thread.

I should also add that I'm in my late 20's, 5'9", 235ish, and about 13-14% bodyfat. I've been training 5 years. No previous cycle experience. I dont want to gain much weight, and even better would be to actually lose a bit of fat while keeping what muscle I have or gaining about 5lbs. My powerlifting total is around 1600 raw in the IPF cutting into the 220 class. I do not want to lift at 242, nor do I want to cut 20+lbs to lift in the 220 class.

Anavar is weak and more suited for women. Pulsing something weak will just make the gains impossible to detect. I did that once with promagnon and regret it. Straight cycle recommended.

There is that chance I suppose. But if I went 80/80/0/0 for instance, that would be the same amount as going 40mg straight. A 40mg straight cycle was my original idea.

I'm just thinking out loud here.

Anyone else?

Pulsing is intended for strong steroids with shorter half lives. Dbol and Superdrol are probably THE most ideal pulsing steroids. I think Epi works too.

Anavar is not suited to pulsing at all. I don't remember the half life (i am inclined to think it's relatively long), but more importantly it's WEAK, it takes a while to kick in, it needs to be run for a long time, none of the traits of a good pulsing steroid. 3 on 1 off is not a pulse, 1 on 3 off is a ****ed up pulse. I wouldn't pulse in this way!

For your cycle I think you should run 60mg everyday for at least 6 weeks. Clean the diet up, do more cardio, lose some bodyfat, make minor strength increases, yes a recomp. That's what you're looking for right?

Good luck making that happen pulsing anavar, it's probably going to be too weak. And your pulsing ideas are... not ideal... did you read the pulsing thread? 3x a week MWF is a pulse, EOD is a pulse, MT/ThF is a pulse (not the best one).

Just run a straight cycle, get some more if you need to.

dam I just commented in your other var thread, why dont just run it straight and buy some clomid? clomid is cheap

I am not necessarily trying to avoid PCT, I just figured it was a neat idea, along with the idea of a mild and "safe" first cycle. Unfortunately, that thread had little to no info on Anavar. By the way, the half-life is about 9 hours, 8-12 by the steroid.com guide. That compares to 6-8 for D-bol. Is that short enough? or do those extra 2 hours make the difference? I would also assume that to use this particular drug this way one would need to do maximum doses on the 'on' days, say 100mg+? Otherwise, as many have noted, you'd likely not feel the effects?

Otherwise, I see your points on this not being the best drug for pulsing.

For now I have decided to do a straight cycle, starting with 40/day for the first 4 days, then 50/day from there, for 5 weeks. Because my tabs are 20mg I'll go 60/40/60/40 on my heavy/light/heavy/light days. That's a short cycle, and mild, but I've read about a half a dozen different times of people getting good results from even 40/day. So if I'm going to respond to something it should work. If I am seeing stunning results in that time I might just go get some more from the same source and extend the cycle to 7-8 weeks.
