Hello all. I'm new to forum as well as looking into this form of supplementation. I'm 41, been training since I was 15 covering everything from functional strength, endurance, powerlifting, and physique/ hobby lifting. At 5'10", I'm currently hovering at %16 body fat but it's been fluctuating lately (retiring from the military and went off the rails for a bit). In the last 9 months I've had to change my lifting regimen from moderate/ heavy to light weight, higher reps/ super sets. This is due to a myriad of injuries and facing the fact that I can't train the same anymore. I went from 210lbs to 184 and I've gone back up to 190, unfortunately most of the weight loss was muscle mass. All this to say I'm looking to cut up as well as keep lean mass. I've found a ton of good info out there for a first cycle, then find a ton of info that completely contradicts what I was starting to plan out. I have considered an Anavar only cycle but it's not cost effective but I thought it might keep me in the clear of some side effects (I already have some prostate issues and a strong family history of prostate cancer). I also was looking at equipoise but it looks like that would only do what I want if it was stacked with test? Maybe a test only cycle at a lower dose? Again I'm not trying to add a lot of mass or strength, just keep what I have but cut it up (adding a little more mass wouldn't hurt)!
I don't expect anyone to figure out a cycle for me but a push in the right direction of what would give the desired result would be amazing. I really need to figure out the pct aspect as well, most of the posts of the newer folks to this seem to struggle a bit with this too, but that's the cart before the horse at this point.
On to my wife. She is considering a second cycle of Anavar. She's 41, 150lbs @ 5'6". I'm not sure of her bf percentage but that's what she wants to attack. She got her Var from 2 different sources and we're pretty sure one of them was garbage and the other ok. This was her first cycle that she ran and she stacked with clen (which was legit). She started at 10 mg var and increased to 17 throughout a 8 week cycle with no pct (not necessary?). She ended with some strength gains and mass gains which wasn't exactly what she was after, but it was something. Anyhow, the more we are researching the more we are finding out there may be better alternatives to an Anavar cycle to get the cutting she desires either with SARMS or even a different stack as long as she keeps a close eye on sides. Again, not looking for someone to design a cycle, just some direction or suggestions.
I'll admit we don't really know what the hell we're doing at this point and that's why I'm reaching out here! Thanks in advance!
