I’m 30 yo , 1,75 , 100kg , I used steroid 3 years ago . I wanna use susta primo anavar for 12 weeks to lose weight, I need a weekly dosing please .
Thank you
You’re 5 foot 9, 100kg… I assume you’re very overweight and not pure shredded muscle as you’ve specified you wish to lose weight
I’ll explain first why this is a bad idea. The effect being overweight has on the cardiovascular system is that of a deleterious nature. Obesity in itself is associated with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (the unsatisfactory type… not the grey area LVH that occurs as adaptation to increased cardiac output during exercise), this may be in part due to the increased strain on the body due to having to carry extra weight around (heart doesn’t know whether it’s punping to fat or muscle, the bigger the body the more effort it has to put in… hence why athletic or not a higher body weight is strongly correlated with increased cardiac mass) or because obesity doesn’t typically exist in isolation… other factors induced by obesity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabeties etc… all of which are causing factors in relation to inducing cardiomyopathy. With exercise/diet you should be able to drop the weight, cut down and strengthen you’re heart somewhat. Some semblance of damage, say plaque built up, slight enlargement etc may be irreversible, however you can strengthen you’re cardiovascular system so that it’ll be able to cope somewhat better with the strain induced by anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids have the potential to induce many, many long term ailments… the cardiovascular pathology induced is probably one of the most concerning aspects of AAS use. Given cardiac myocytes contain AR, and androgens elicit their hypertrophic stimuli by binding to the AR, it makes sense that cardiac cells will grow, alongside skeletal muscle (although the heart isn’t skeletal muscle)… when cardiac myocytes grow beyond a certain factor, apoptosis is initiated as a protective mechanism, the dead cells are replaced with stiff, fibrous tissue which predisposes the user to lethal arrhythmia. Other factors that contribute to AAS induced cardiac damage are
- increased sensitivity to catecholamine release (beta adrenergic receptor upregulation)
- oxidise stress/imbalanced antioxidant profile (which you’ve already got a boatload of when you’re obese)
- high blood pressure induced heart enlargement (already at risk being overweight)
Furthermore you’ve probably already got sub-par lipids/trigs… oral AAS in particular will make this exponentially worse. If insulin sensitivity is impaired or boarderline, hopping on cycle will potentially make this worse, and thus gains in muscle mass will be greatly impeded as adequate insulin sensitivity is required for adequate nutrient shuttling post meals.
Many aren’t entirely aware of the risks involved with AAS use. Anabolic steroids aren’t for use as sole fat burning aids (though they will undoubtedly help, just not to the extent I think you’re looking for) if you don’t care about you’re health at all and are willing to risk death/addiction a stimulant such as ephedra (methamphetamine analogue) is probably what you’re looking for… but it’s a reallllly bad idea… kinda hypocritical for me to say that as I’ve tried it as a pre workout a handful of times and I must say… I don’t like it at all
