Crystal's 1st Cycle Log. Anavar Only.

I have this feeling that the lethargy shows up when our liver is a bit taxed from the var. It showed up ugly for me about 6 weeks in. That's when I made the decision to shorten the cycle my cycle.

Ughh, I hope not. I'll try adding more rest days and sleep early. If that doesn't help, I may cut my cycle short as well. Not worth it to fuck up my liver. Damn, I hope that's not it. :(
 
It's the one with "PR" right beside it. o_O

Great job Crystal. I think the other girls went through what your going through and rest was the answer.
Thanks and yes, I remember that Happy went through this at some point in her cycle as well.

Your liver regenerates quickly, so don't worry. But orals are usually run at tail emd or beginning of cycle for males because of their hepatoxicoty. We are running low doses, but we are also running them longer than guys would.

Anyway I seem to be the most cautious one regarding these substances because I am just a huge sissy lol.
 
@Happycamper Did the lethargy go away eventually? I know you said you cut your cycle early because of it, so I'm assuming it remained the same.
It came and went in waves. Drinking extra water and rest helped. I would say that my general well being is better off cycle, although trying to keep up with on cycle training has me tired as hell, but it's a sore/DOMS kind of tired rather than systematic.
 
BlueDress has experienced the same thing. She's been hot at night too but unsure if it's because she went off the estradiol (hot flashing again) or stress on the liver going to 20mg the last 4 days. In terms of lethargy, she just had to crash and take a rest day today - only thing that seemed to help. I think you girls, tearing down and recuperating muscle so intensely right now (busting PRs) just need way more sleep.

I've been getting really hot while I sleep, too. I'll wake up in the middle of the night so hot and uncomfortable that I go downstairs just to turn up the AC. And I'm the type that gets cold easily. I just assumed it was a "normal" part of being on cycle.

I'll be trying to make sleep a more frequent thing. My body and mind were really happy to take the day off today, that's for sure. :)

I broke my hip thrust PR this morning by 5lbs. I was hesitant on trying because I did pause squats first since the bench I needed was being occupied by someone else. My legs and glutes were already feeling a little taxed even though I didn't go heavy. Glad I didn't wimp out, though because now I feel accomplished. Hip thrusting 310lbs. gets you funny looks in the gym, that's for sure.[emoji854]

I was lethargic this morning but once my morning dose of var kicked in, I was feeling really good and energetic. I have been drinking more water today and it seems to be helping with my energy levels so far. I think taking the day off completely yesterday helped a bit, too.

Dose is still 12.5mg per day and sides are still very mild and have not changed.

My fiance started to feel hot during the night as well
 
Totally
I could get in to cardio if I had more time
I'd resurrect my old love of mountain biking. Used to be my jam. The high speed dangerous kind.
But you won't catch me runnin. Nope:cool:
Fun! I just bought a mountain bike last summer. Can't wait to take it out again but not the high speed dangerous kind like yourself, lol. You should make time to do it.
