Low Dose Anavar for Runner

[I6JQdr06]

Anavar is a known dry steroid we are not talking deca.
You are over complicating it.
If you eat the same with the same aas and add 20-30 mg of anavar for 4 weeks you will do more pull-ups then without the var.

Most AAS increase glycogen retention regardless of whether they’re aromatisable, or “wet”. That’s one of the reasons why AAS change the look of your muscle and make you look “full”. 1 gram of glycogen is bound to 3 grams of water when stored in muscle.

Then there’s nitrogen retention. Here’s a study which looks at the nitrogen retention of anavar.

Nitrogen retention is literally the measure by which compounds are considered anabolic or not. Every gram of nitrogen retained makes you 1g heavier.

I see your point and this being a forum i should probably also express my thought process so others can understand what i mean .
Bodybuilders are in general egocentric they think the world spins around them well not all but most.
Many bodybuilders are under the false assumption PED(performance enhancing drugs) where invented for them but in reality the ones that where invented for sport specific reasons where done so for athletes.
If you use this substances in a way that hinders your performance you are not doing them right.
You can go trough lists of athletes and look at stuff they got caught with and you will understand that at the highest levels they don't use stuff to hinder performance.
They measure everything and use them for a benefit that i have heard form experts is from 10%-20%gain in performance.
Did Lance Armstrong look like he is holding water?or do you think he was cramping up?
If you get a negative from your protocol you are not doing it right.
Are there sports where no PED is the right way to go?
Yes there could be but mid distance running is not one.
So going back to your example of carrying extra weight .
Just run enough test to not get water retention and use the rest of your aas something that agrees with you.
Of course you can take 100 mg of anavar and get cramped up .
Use the right dose or get help from someone experienced that can make you a good protocol.
Also keep in mind that you get two types of benefit from anavar.
You get and instant benefit and a benefit you build up.
So for something like running i would remove the var before competition.
But for pullups i would leave the anavar in for the extra neurological benefit it gives .
I have pushed my testosterone dosage up to 1gram to see where i start experiencing a negative on athletic performance but have not found it yet.
Growth hormone generic up to 8 iu meditrope people say they hold lots of water on them not me.
So i don't understand where the problem is without knowing more what they do what they eat what allergies they have, inflammation a lot of things can cause this but usually there is something wrong.
50mgs of deca i gained 4 kg is not normal so i think you should figure it out or dont use deca unless you want to hold the water some sports with no weight cap could be a good thing .
So this was a longer post to explain my thoughts and my experiences .

Are you a bodybuilder?

I have written a more detailed response.
Yes i understand study this study that there are also studies with people losing fat on Anavar so that would probably equal that one out .
But yeah check my response i have done this things tried multiple protocols but feel free to look at the studies and disagree with me i don't hate you for it .
My best example to support my side is the athletes that broke records and was caught using Aas.

Here’s an article on how AAS are used in sports.

What is your sport? I am just trying to figure out what sort of athletic performance a gram of testosterone improves.

 

[malfeasance]

One additional thing to consider with respect to athletics is testing, cheating, and getting caught. For example, Deca may help in a certain sport, but anybody using it is just begging to be caught because the metabolites can be detected practically forever.

Victor Conte got away with a lot of what he is doing by injecting his athletes with epi-testosterone so that the testosterone/epi-testosterone ratio was good even though testosterone was high. There is an Untold episode out right now in which he describes some of his techniques. Untold: Hall of Shame. (I think Netflix has it streaming). Basically, he was always staying one step ahead of the testing for his athletes.

Im getting in to fighting shape.
Im pushing the dosage of test till i feel side effects or some sort of negative and then back off and that will be my dose for the next 10 weeks with 400 mast and 400 primo.
I try to get as strong and fit on 3000 calories as i can in that time.
Its an experiment as i did 500 test 600 primo before and had very good result now i want to try higher dosage and im liking it so far.
And yes i am talking simple here drug testing increases the complexity of things ten fold.
They use sub optimal protocols plus the risk of getting caught and ruining they're career.
So you must imagine that it MUST be worth it.

I do have some experience with martial arts don't need no site to tell me i lived it .
You seem to research but not really try out what you read.
As for glycogen retention it is never a problem simply because of testing so nobody tested uses until competition.
If not tested others have the glycogen retention also.
If you compete with naturals you can just cut more fat than them and retain more strength so it levels it out.
Your body composition should be much better then naturals more strength at the same weight .
This problems do not exist in practice WITH a good protocol.

I felt good running on lower dose 10mg/day, but had crippling pumps/cramps with harder efforts. It ended up being unable to to finish two of my races. For me, I wouldn’t do it again. If you use it make sure you test with hard race efforts. I was fine with training but sustained hard efforts were a disaster.
