Just started taking Wegovy to help loose my gut. I’m 54, 6”1 and 264 pounds. I have recently been taking test, Anavar and Deca Durabolin for a cycle. Has anyone used any Anabolcis while taking Wegovy? I with lift 4-5 times a week. Is this a bad stack. I have researched and can not find a lot.
Lots to unpack here. First you’re 54 and likely obese at that weight. Anabolics are harded to manage when you’re overweight. They’re also not good at burning fat, but rather building muscle although some like Anavar are helpful. It also sounds like you don’t know what you’re really doing. Thats ok, but you should definitely pose this question before starting.
At 54, you would be much better off just going on TRT, even if you don’t really need it, to optimize yourself over using sythetic anabolics. At your age, health should be a priority. I don’t normally champion TRT for those that are not hypogondal but its the better alternative to non medically supervised steroid cycles.
Lastly, TRT would help muscle sparing and mood while using Wegovy. GLP-1s tend to eat muscle.

Agree with everything @blshaw said above
These really don’t go together. Anabolic cycles and high BF really don’t go together. Assuming your 25+% bf?
AAS are for building muscle. They do not burn fat directly.
What exactly are your goals here?
No issue here with the pharmacology.
The muscle wasting that has been seen during studies is primarily from people who do not resistance train. If your training and getting enough food in you’ll be fine. Some people even though they train take too much GLP and can’t eat therefore cannot maintain muscle mass.
So taking any other anabolics wont help much from what i’m gathering. Test, resistance traing and proper protein intake is good. I have a decent foundation of muscle as I have been lifting for a little over a year. My goal now is to look better overall, not cencerned about mass or strength.
Taking anabolics do nothing for losing fat. They are for building muscle or retaining muscle if you are super lean. The higher BF you carry the more issues you will have with BP/estrogen conversion.
How long ago did you start? I would drop them and go get some bloodwork done to see where your natural test resides.
About six months ago. My BMI is about 33%.
Agree mostly with what you stated but therein lies the problem. Most users don’t train properly and also can’t eat properly. Also the rapid weight loss aspect attributes to muscle loss as the body isn’t necessarily selective.

Glp or all of it?
100% agree.
Confusing BMI and Body fat % is a common mistake. BMI is not expressed as a percentage.
Your BMI is 35.8 and is considered obese. You might be ultra lean at 10% bodyfat at the same weight, but your BMI is still 35.8 and categorized as obese - this is why BMI is only one part of the picture.
Thanks for the information. That is why I am starting my weight loss journey. Calorie intake aside, can I gain muscle using anabolics, like the ones I mentioned while losing the gut? Not a lot of mass just slow growth.
Yeah take a lot of them too. So much steroids
That’s what you wanted to hear right? You were given sound advice but you keep asking the same question.
Do what you want to do, take em!
