Lipids were solid til anavar and deca has been maybe 2 or 3 weeks in. Bf is waaay lower now. Weighed in at 245 this morning. I suffered a distal bicep rupture, just trying to heal it up a bit.
Anavar is among the worst for lipids, particularly if just taking it via usual oral tablet/capsule route. It's a little better sublingual w/ DMSO but most of it still ends up getting swallowed = hepatic first pass effect. I've never seen injectable anavar, with or without guaiacol. I prefer and use injectable forms of other c17-akylated AAS (superdrol, anadrol, methyltrienolone, methylstenbolone, winstrol, etc). I've found all w/o guaiacol, only one that is troublesome to use is winstrol as its a suspension and will cause PIP IM, or phlegmons subQ - but still worth it, as is very effective.
Neither test nor other AAS are good for lipid profile, but injectables (including 19-nors at reasonable doses) don't tend to screw it up too badly. Even the potent drugs ie tren, MENT, and DHB don't screw it much - at least up to 70mg/wk ea.
I'd recheck 4-6 weeks after stopping anavar and you'll likely see a nice improvement just from that. Even if so, if you plan on staying supraphysiologic ezetimibe + pitavastatin are wise to take, along with telmisartan/cinidipine if androgens raise BP, which they usually do. And retatrutide is also good for lipids and of course insulin sensitivity.
Also, one of the few good things ER⍺ does is boost HDL so keep an eye on hs-estradiol too. It is also good for insulin sensitivity. I need to keep mine in a very tight range to feel right... above reference range causes problems below the belt. ERβ has generally more beneficial effects and there are cheap supplements (like genistein, soy isoflavones) that selectively activate it. As you may know, estrogen can be tough to manage with test + deca, and labs often don't give a good picture of what's actually going on i.e. normal labs with high E2 symptoms from addition of nandrolone (which barely aromatizes itself).
