Hi guys - a brief bit of info on me before I start!:
I’m 28 - been training for about 6 years, mostly boxing, grappling and weights. I’m 6’ 1" and have been consistently 216lbs and about 16% bf for the last 3 years. I have over the last year upped my training to 5 - 6 days per week. I’m remarkably weak for my size and weight, I think mainly due to concentrating on sports and fitness rather than lifting, I’m currenlty benching a measily 275lb, dead lifting 440lb for 3 reps.
I focus mainly on compound movements and active recovery. I’m also sticking to higher reps with super sets - eg. dead lifting 220lb for ten reps, 15 chin ups and 20 push-ups with 90 sec recovery. So my training is mainly tailored to enhance my sports and overall fitness / strength.
I’ve now realised my gap in outright strength against other competitors / training partners so I’m starting a tailered weight program to boost my strength whilst adding minimal weight and bulk. I’ve been considering adding some roids into the mix - having read the stickys on here, other forums, bloggs etc I’ve decided the following would be best for my goals.
6 weeks cycle
Anavar 60mg ED
Winstrol 50mg ED
Taper instead of PCT
Going to take creatine to boost Var gains
I know the above is not very potent - I only want to gain some strength and decrease recovery time to allow my to fit in the weight program with my other trianing.
So what do you guys think?
Use a PCT.
Creatine to enhance oxandrolones gains?
I think you would be much better off with a test only cycle with strict control of an ai. If you aren’t eating to get big you wont.
taper instead of pct? tapering without any test?? you still have much to learn.
I didn’t think PCT would be needed with anavar and winny and those doses - I thought they only supressed the HPTA axis a little.
worred that TEST would reduce my cardio, whilst var and winny wouldn’t…
I am indeed an newbie!
at six weeks, you will have considerable shut down. neither of the compounds you are taking aromatise. also, test does not reduce cardio. you might be confusing that with tren. if anything, i feel test would increase your endurance.
i strongly suggest you go back to reading the stickies in the forum again.
ok - thanks for the advise. what cycle would you recommend considering my goals?
I am for sure going to carry out more research - if I decide to do a cycle it wont be for a while anyways
Thanks for the replies
You don’t need steroids to ‘gain some strength’. You need to lift big weights on a consistent basis and eat the right foods to make quality improvments to your body composition.
High reps and super setting wont get you anywhere if youre looking for strength gains.
Steroids will obviously help but once you come off the gains will disappear because you don’t train properly for your goals in the firs place.
maybe i’m the only one to catch this, but at 6’1 216 16% bf, your strength is not bad at all. if you’re wanting to stay in the same weight class, i understand not wanting to do a mass cycle.
considering your goals and situation, you could do winstrol/anavar, but you would certainly need a pct.

indeed. didnt really notice that till you mentioned it. still, i would think that he should at least run a basic amount of test since he would be going 6 weeks with a non-aromatising compound.
Hi guys thanks for the replies:
Just to clear up, I will indeed be starting a new weights programme tailored for strength, my diet will also be changing to compliment the programme. Nothing will be happening until a few weeks time to allow me the shed the christmass excess and get everything back in proper order.
If I do mix a few “vitamins” into the pot; probably be as before but running Novla PCT, and there after maybe a few weeks tribulus.
I am also considering adding a low dosage of Test Prop and some AI, though it may be overkill for my goals.
