That’s what I mentioned above. I was zero to low carb with keto and carnivore. Doc said if you want to drive down shbg eat more carbs. I can’t wait to see next labs June 1. He also told me that overweight diabetic people tend to have very low shbg which apparently is very bad. It’s hard to get shbg to come up which i know is the opposite of what you have.
Yeah, being high SHBG is better than low SHBG IMO, but neither is ideal. Upping carbs was the first step I took – it helped somewhat with my SHBG but nothing crazy, as far as I can tell.
As I start the oxandrolone soon, I’m thinking of concurrently starting a new workout program. I’ve been getting bored with my current training plan; time to switch it up.
I purchased two solid plans from my favorite podcast (Mind Pump). The options are:
- A strongman program – enticing because I’ve never trained in this modality before, so it’d be novel
- A powerlifting program – enticing because I could easily track strength increases on anavar
Thoughts?
Strongman, mostly because I love it, but also because it’ll be novel to you might elicit more growth, plus the physique of some of the light/medium weight strongmen is what you’re after!

That’s what I’m thinking – I’ve heard when it comes to resistance training, the modality you never do is (within reason) the one that’ll elicit the most amount of change. I always do BB hypertrophy stuff with some PL mixed in. Never any strongman, though, even though I love watching it!

Good stuff here on anavar, for anyone curious
Key takeaways:
- Anavar is not harmless, but it’s relatively safe compared to other AAS
- Health-conscious guys who are into steroids but also longevity often like the test-anavar route
- Experiences will fluctuate based on genetics
- There are a number of beneficial medical applications
- Women in particular respond well to the drug
- Anavar would be more popular among AAS users if it weren’t so expensive

I ended up ordering some var! I’ll check out the video when I get time

Love it, man, we’re in this together! Any idea what dose you’ll take?
Nope. It’ll probably (assuming not bad sides) a little more than yours (20mg a day right?) and less than the normal “recommended”
I’m doing 25. So you thinking like 50? What sides will you monitor?
Somewhere between 25 and 50 a day. As far as sides, my biggest fears are reduced libido and anxiety stuff as I already struggle with those. I did bloods yesterday, probably do some more before I come off the oral to see how it effects me.
Have you decided on dosing frequency? Once a day or twice a day?
Oh awesome, let me know the results of the test when you get them! I’m curious how the effects will compare for us. Good to know about those sides — I’m prone to both, too.
I’m gonna do 50 mg EOD for cost purposes
What made you choose that over 25 a day? Also, I’ll be monitoring blood pressure as well, forgot about that lol
It’s just more cost effective to get the 50 mg tabs instead of 25 mg (same price) and take one EOD instead of ED
Why not break them in half I guess is what I’m getting at. Or even dissolve them in vodka (assuming that works for var) and make a custom strength
Do you use a finger pulse for BP? Maybe I should get one
I might do that — wasn’t sure how the pills would be and if it’d be easy enough to split them
No I just have a regular cuff machine. The finger thing sounds cool though
Nice. Just bought a finger one on Amazon for $17
