50mg / day anavar is way more than youd need to get a significant result over more time if you split it up. I was pretty wowed by 24mg/day for eight weeks and it was the only thing i took aside from a 150mg or so trt weekly dose (thats essentially doubling the androgen load, mind, and by itself did put my HDL below range). If i do it again, probably take 10mg/day for three months or something.

Iāve taken 50mg var daily and tbh I saw little difference. A lot of folks will say you only need a little, but some others I know (who are heavyweights) will say 50mg/day is the minimum threshold to even do anything.
Try it and see what works for you.

Semaglutide doesnāt really do anything for actual fatloss though, itās just a hunger suppressant.
You could do the same by adding veggies into every meal.

Hmmm I would buy an Amazon pill splitter and decide for yourself. Probably not feasible. At 50mg just be warned, the pumps could be unbearable. At 30mg I have left the gym before my last exerciseā¦
I would run that 4-6 weeks. Go longer if you want but I would plan this out like a blast. So have an easy week of training and then follow a legit program for 6 weeks of hell. (Paul Carter has some stuff on here). 2 a days would be my recommended method. Maybe train first thing in the am to reduce the pump? Has helped me in the past.
Then take a week off and eat perfect, walk in the sun, fuck your significant other and recover. Train hard the rest of the summer and youāll look great. The drugs are just allowing you to train that hardā¦.

No difference on 50mg of Var?! Man, any chance it wasnāt real?

Thatās true. Compliance is easier for me with the semaglutide lol. I try to do both (veggies and semaglutide). More lighter fruit like strawberries too.
Basically everyone knows you can lose weight by consuming less fries and coca cola, and eating more cucumbers. Very few pull it off though. It basically takes will power out of the equation (to an extent). It also at least for me reduces the mental toll of dieting. It is an easy button for me.

Extremely unlikely.
Actually, it was 40mg now that i recall. Still, i felt no difference.

No free lunch with adding chemicals into your body. Your SHBG will tank. Does it matter short term? No idea. Just know what youāre doing.
How lean/vascular are you? If you arenāt already fairly vascular, just lose fat the old fashioned way. Oxandrolone isnāt magic.
Iām on oxandrolone in my profile pic. 25mg/day for maybe 6 weeks at that point, I donāt remember exactly. I already had defined abs and veins showing in my quads/calves prior to oxandrolone. It just makes you look a little āharderā. Was it noticeable to anyone but me? Probably not.

Wow! I appreciate all the input everyone!

Thatās the beautiful thing about TRT as a means to stay healthy longer. Just because your age increases it doesnāt mean your body doesnāt have to slow down too. Glad entering 36 is paired with looking the best you ever had!
@PhilaSCS
Thank you for sharing your experience. Thatās exactly my plan if I were to hop on. Just TRT and Anavar. Iād like to get it down to 25mg/day split into two separate doses; however, just experiencing that barrier with my provider only have 50mg available. Donāt want to overdo it with the 50mg/day, however Iām not opposed to experimenting if 25mg/day isnāt an option.
@Andrewgen_Receptors
It sounds like its efficacy varies person to person as far as responsiveness goes. Some people seem to be amazed by its effects and others donāt get a whole lot from it. Subjective almost. I intend on giving it a shot next year.
@Vistavilla
Thatās wild that 2 a days may be recommended due to the ridiculous pump! I would be concerned I would be hitting muscle groups too often before they fully recover. Or does the math change on that too once itās thrown in? Your post got me really looking forward to giving this a try!
@Meathead56
Nowhere near your level! Iām vascular mostly in arms and delts. I see vascularity developing in my chest however itās not pronounced. No quad vascularity as of yet haha! Leanness could use some work; Iāve never had visible lower abdominals (just four pronounced abdominals and obliques). Iām progressively getting lean from just TRT and dieting. Exploring to see if Anavar could potentially be a bonus.

For the 2 a days I would alternate the plan for higher frequencies focused on strength in the morning, circuits and such at night. I would do an upper/lower or PPL. If you can make the night workouts at home it will be more doable.
So on a push/pull/legs twice a week, a push day would look like
Am workout
Incline DB press - 4x6
Smith machine overhead press- 4x8-10
Skullcrushers- 4x8-12
Pm workout
A1 pushdowns
A2 side laterals
A3 push-ups
Repeat 3-4 times, 10-15 reps an exercise

I appreciate that example. Essentially going strong in the morning and volume at night. That makes a lot of sense as a means to break it up and to maximize the time on Anavar.
If you want to spend the money and dontā mind the SHBG/lipid impact, then go for it. But you wonāt need it for your goals.

The manufacturer removed it from market, right? 2.5mg and 10mg version I think. But that doesnāt mean itās banned, as I understand it.
Compounders arenāt FDA regulated anyway, and thatās where most guys get their stuff from these days.
Right, but that results in eating less, and losing weight.
Pic is mildly pumped. Vascularity present in arms and shoulders. Little pudge at midsection. Hoping Anavar can at least assist with the process. Muscle retention/fat loss
The good news is you have size. The bad is youāre likely 20%+ in BF based on the pic. Var isnāt going to do much for you IMO other than mess with your libido and lipids. I would cut on TRT only to about 15% BF then consider the Var for that final push and enhancement. Just my two cents.

Nice proportions that show. Drop a little fat. IMO, vascularity isnāt near as important as separation.

Hopefully the Spring may serve as a good target to give it a try. Iām planning ahead more than anything. Iāll lower BF some more.
@RT_Nomad
Thank you, Iāll continue to lean out going forward. Vascularity has always served as a mental indicator for me as far as progression goes. Iāll have to start shifting to make separation of more importance.
