Test, HGH, Var cycle

Just got it recently from reputable vendor on meso forum. My head is shaved so I could give 2

That makes it easy! Enjoy the blast once you start. I love the way that prim makes the muscles pop. It seemingly has a weird way to make those shoulder pop for sure.

Are people getting trt from prescription? I usually don’t see that available from vendors.

My Urologist does mine, it only cost me $5 a month. But if I want to play with other compounds, I have to go UGL.

8mg of Reta is pretty high. Have you seen any uptick in your resting heart rate? Is your sleep impacted? I would think your body is burning through some calories, right?

I have been titrating up for some time now. I don’t want to go any higher so I’m just dealing with the slow return of hunger signaling. Heart rate went up by around 10bpm when I first started out at 500mcg and has pretty much just stayed there since. Sleep is fine and I think burn through calories from my weight training and cardio more than from the Reta.

I would avoid the anavar, do some thinking as to why that's an option as opposed to 70mg more test at least. Or consider an injectable dht derivative, for no liver stress. Nothing wrong with a bit of anabolics, but in your case I think the mindset of cycling is the issue, why not crank your test to 200mg and stay there for a few months. That's solidly enhanced and you'll notice better muscle growth and recovery relatively quickly. And will most likely be able to do it for as long as you like, which will help with consistent muscle growth and preventing post cycle muscle loss.

Well then I would recommend avoiding it lol. Did you miss the part where I bumped my test to 250mg? And I’m not taking Anavar for massive gains, I’m currently on recomp and getting down to <13% bf. When I reach that goal I have already been talking with my Dr and might do a cycle of NPP or Deca depending on how my labs are looking.

The anavar pumps are amazing!

Has anyone in California gotten oxandrolone (Anavar) from Empower, Strive, or another compounding pharmacy?

As crazy as it sounds, I'm asking on behalf of a small burn unit in California. Their pharmacy has not been able or willing to source oxandrolone for a year or so. So the patients are left to source it for themselves (legally), unless they go with the flow and take testosterone instead.

Thanks to the FDA or other powers that be, the burn units have been transitioning to testosterone, which is not ideal for female patients. Anavar is lower on the scale for virilization, and testosterone is more likely to cause scarring.

Update: Best best seems to be Strive Pharmacy since they are in-state, even though they require one of their providers to prescribe.

I get mine prescribed and it comes from a compounding pharmacy called Revive Rx. I believe they are based out of Huston TX.

After losing just over 100lbs last year, my goal this year is to get shredded. I'm currently sitting at 205lbs at approx. 17% bodyfat. I started TRT about 2 months ago and am currently taking 150mg/wk. I am also switching from Tesa/Ipa to HGH when my shipment comes in next month. I went in to my doc to get some bloodwork today and we started talking about my goals and optimization which lead to him writing me a script for a 6 week cycle of 10mg Anavar. So my current plan is to run a 6 week cycle of 6mg/wk Reta (my maintenance dose), 250mg/wk test-c, 4iu/day HGH, and 10mg/day Anavar. Then return to my normal cruise of 150mg test and maybe stay with 1-2iu HGH. This will be my first foray into AAS and was wondering if you guys had any opinions? I'm 42m and my labs are pretty spot on. I was going to ask in MESO but they are ruthless there and will pretty much just tell me I'm wasting my money on a weak cycle, push for increasing everything, and to throw tren in the mix lol.

I used to lurk in Meso. People there are so full of hubris. Dont even mention bro-politics.

God if I can find a vendor that doesnt take crypto ..

What's wrong with crypto ?

 

[lastresort]

I don't like it because its a tax hassle

Hmm. You should have to worry about any tax when you use it for payment.

You just transfer usd to a crypto exchange like kraken or coinbase and just pay the vendor. There is no tax implications.

Doubly so if you pay using a stablecoin like USDC or USDT. No tax if there is no change in value. I just buy USDC in the amount needed then make my payment to the vendor within a few minutes. No need to worry about tax implications.

This pic made me be a little aggressive in ensuring that I didn’t under dose my test shot today. And questioning this var sitting around getting dust on it.

Cycle ends today and I'm getting my bloods drawn just before my final dose. Then back to TRT and focus on fixing any messed up biomarkers. I feel great and am pretty happy with the results for being such a baby cycle. Dropped my BF by about 2-3% and put on about 2 lbs of muscle according to my scale and inbody scan. Already talked to my Dr/coach about my next cycle in a few months and, depending on my bloodwork, going to up doses a tiny bit and add in a little NPP. I look forward to hearing people whine about how irresponsible and reckless it is lmao. I'll keep you posted on my lab results. Here are the labs I ordered if anyone is curious.

 

[Tbagger]

Labs came in and looking better than expected. My HDL is still in range but my LDL and and ApoB are slightly elevated. E2 was also elevated but I had no physical or mental side effects. Liver enzymes and GGT are looking great along with my Hematocrit and hemoglobin. Overall I was expecting my markers to be worse.

Two things are odd to me though.

1: 2iu of GH only raised my igf1 to 270 from my natural level of 220. The only thing I can think of is that the test was taken when I got off work so it was almost 20 hours after my last gh pin. But even so, I was expecting a higher level.

2: I increased my test from 150mg a week to 250mg (pinned daily) and my total test only went from 1209 to 1220. My e2 went from 50 to 63. It's hard to identify the change in my free test due to my last test was done using equilibrium dialysis (238) and this one was done with direct immunoassay (47.3). Both are a decent amount above the reference range, but i don't know how to get a direct comparison. But I feel like increasing my weekly test by 100mg should have increased my total test by a substantial amount.

I have a doctors appointment in a few weeks and going to get more bloodwork done to see how fast my lipids recover. I ordered these labs on my own just to see where I was at right at the end of the cycle. But I'm definitely going to go over these anomalies with him.

I think I'm going to hold of on the NPP for a while and play around with my test and GH doses. That way I can get the hang of how I react to a range of higher doses.

Thank you for sharing. I went from 100mg of test to 200mg but hematocrit and hemoglobin went up too much and I had to have phlebotomy. Then this crashed my ferritin. I paused all peptides except Reta for a month to meet up with hematologist to get new base line. I lowered testosterone back to 112 a week pinning everyday and then I will up dose again slowly once I get a good baseline bloodwork. Hope to add HGH back and maybe a low dose of Anavar if i can get hematocrit under control.

I haven't had any hematocrit issues since I started. I've taken it up to 300mg and still kept it around 47%. I pin daily and drink a LOT of water which seems to help, at least for me. My problem is aromatization. I tend to aromatize at a fairly high rate. It hasn't been too big of a issue so far as I haven't gotten any e2 sides other than it simply being high. But it is something I am going to have to keep an eye on if I decide to add in any other compounds that add to the aromatization or interact with estrogen. NPP being the one I'm currently considering, which both aromatizes and interacts with high e2 levels to increase prolactin.

 

[MTSpace]

I am fortunate I do not aromatize very much and I believe it’s because overall I am fairly lean except in the trunk area. Taking Reta to combat this now but just started 2 months ago and looking to recomp more than lose. Only at 2mg a week, twice weekly. I am hoping than pinning everyday on Test and hydrating more helps hematocrit. Keep us posted if you decide to add NPP. I have read (no experience) that Primo is an excellent add-on compound when too much estrogen is problematic because it helps control the estrogen while having positive impact on hard lean muscle.

 

[Tbagger]

I'm only at 12% bf and still seem to aromatize like crazy. I've been looking at Primo, but there has been a raws shortage for almost a year now and like 90% of what is out there is actually Mast or EQ. What little real primo that can be found is usually highly underdosed.
