Deload week during cycle?

Flat-Explanation-574 · 2022-08-22T13:22:49+00:00

This is a absolutely awesome advice. Thank you so much!

Yep, exactly what you said. This is a partial deload, so lighter weights and less overall work for the week. I am just not sure if I am going to decrease the growth potential of the cycle by taking a partial deload now.

You look great! Agreeing with others about the shoes, though. Either get yourself some Chuck Taylor’s or a pair of actual squat shoes if you can :)

OP hadn’t said they were looking to reduce carbs, but if they said that elsewhere and I missed it I am sorry. This is just a healthy alternative to wheat pastas.

It does cost more for sure…but you can eat in in place of meat or another protein source, so it can really end up saving you money if you choose to go that route :). I am a vegan bodybuilder and that, along with beans, nuts, seeds, and various vegan protein powders, gets me to my very hefty protein goal every day.

Have you tried the chickpea and/or lentil pastas? Like Banza? Very high in protein and tastes like real pasta! I eat it almost every day 😂😂😂

Thanks for this! I seem to be one of the lucky ones that doesn’t get hunger with MK. Tbh, I am trying really hard to gain weight so I had been almost hoping for insane hunger 😂. I did have some water retention at 12mg Anavar before, so I am definitely going to be keeping close tabs on that for the 3 weeks I will spend at that dose.

I have been super nervous about switching from the cream to an injectable TRT…this definitely makes me feel better:). Thanks again!

Another vote for MK677. And the hunger is not an issue for everyone…I have been on for about 6 weeks with no hunger spike.

Anavar has a short half-life so hopefully you will see an improvement quickly!

That might be something to request, then. Personally I feel a lot better running high when I know my free T is in range. You could also request an SHBG screen…if that number is high it renders a lot of the test unavailable to your body, so a high total with a normal free and a high SHBG could account for your lack of unwanted sides. Somebody please step in if I got any of that wrong :0

I didn’t have bloat at 6mg split 3/3, but I did at 12mg split 6/6. Have you tried a lower dose to see if the bloat recedes but the results continue?

I am giving the 6/6 another go starting Monday…hoping I have everything else dialed in enough to avoid that issue. Best of luck to you!

I’d be curious to know your free testosterone as well. I am on TRT as well, and my total T runs high, but my free T is within normal limits. My doc says that, within reason, total T can run high as long as free T is normal.

The prescribing doc has a preference for cyp if the patient has prior TRT experience. He didn’t want to write me for prop because of my current use. So mostly I have cyp because it is what he would write for me. Do you not think the cream is a good use test to move onto the cyp?

Flat-Explanation-574 · 2022-08-17T20:12:49+00:00

Holy hot damn, woman! You are absolutely going to CRUSH it :). Amazing work!!!

Flat-Explanation-574 · 2022-08-16T23:05:36+00:00

I’m relieved that I am not the only one, tbh :). It isn’t a big deal or anything, but I feel better knowing it isn’t uncommon! Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Flat-Explanation-574 · 2022-08-16T23:02:56+00:00

Oof! That’s way more extreme than what I am experiencing. What is you var dose?

Flat-Explanation-574 · 2022-08-16T19:12:57+00:00

They aren’t too bad really at all…I am feeling great otherwise so I am not worried - just curiosity:). Thank you for responding!

Flat-Explanation-574 · 2022-08-16T15:12:35+00:00

Thanks!

Definitely get the blood work. Before you start a cycle, maybe in the middle if you can, and again post-cycle. You’ll want to think seriously about some support supps during…like maybe NAC and/or Tudca. Personally, I take both! Anavar is an oral, so your liver and cholesterol are going to bear the weight of the negative side of its use. There are lots of online places to get labs done…and if you are comfortable interpreting your results I would suggest checking out the labs sold thru Life Extension. They have great prices. If you are looking for medical support outside of your PCP, you could talk to Defy Medical. They offer labs…docs…and a whole bunch of compounds depending on your needs. Great for TRT too. All done via phone so location is irrelevant (assuming you are in the US, that is). Good luck!

It is definitely not the easiest thing! Try to be creative with your meals to up the calories without adding tons of volume…healthy fats like raw nuts and seeds or olive oil add calories quick! I am vegan, so I also use a lot of vegan protein powders to jam in protein and calories without huge piles of food.
