First Anavar Cycle for Cutting

[Happycamper]

That's how some compounds work, these drugs were made for this reason. People with a disease or that has sever trauma so they can hold wight or actually gain some weight. It will also help decrease muscle loss so even on a deficit diet if you add muscle you are adding weight.

Definitely understand this, especially on my research with var and knowing it was developed for aids patients and severe burn victims. I am just curious to how the energy balance is changed in science terms.

I haven't stepped on the scale as I feel very filled out and solid. I know my weight has gone up...but damn does it change the body so quick and for the better!!

What's the science behind eating at a deficit and gaining scale weight on AAS? I'm curious as I see this both in myself and almost on all forums.

Think about it... if you're only building muscle and AAS are assisting in it, which they do at a higher rate than without. .. muscle is denser and takes up less volume than fat... a pound is a pound..except a pound of fat is pretty gross, sloppy and icky and a pound of muscle is nice and compact...so just because you may stay the same on the scale or go up, means you're eliminating the fat but look tighter.

And at first most people will drop water weight, then things balance out and even though you may be in deficit, your body will adapt. As you know, to lose 1lb of weight, you need to burn off 3500 cals so that's 500 a day. You need to keep adjusting your food and training to ensure you're not allowing your body to adapt.

using an oxygen atom to replace the 2 carbon and methylation in the 17 position. With this one position in the molecular structure being altered, the body treats DHT, an androgen hormone, like testosterone instead, thus allowing users to gain lean muscle mass, increase their strength, and lose body fat.

So say your BMR is 1600 calories. Your TDEE is 2500. You're eating 1500.

Daily deficit is 1000 calories.

Just to exist, your body needs 1600 calories. How does it build muscle when it isn't even being given enough energy to run basic bodily functions?

It's such magic! Lol. Just wondering the physiological processes the body goes through to both build muscle and function on little energy input, especially with athletes on a deficit. We can assume the patients are on complete bedrest and not using much energy while they recover, but the athlete is lifting, running, jumping - basically needing a shit load of energy to both perform and recover.

You have to think someone with AIDS is growing just by using this drug, body being killed slowly by AIDS and they are growing.

Ok take a healthy person nothing wrong add good solid food proteins exercise, even if they eat less than the AIDS patients will gain and hold even more weight than the AIDS patients.

The science behind the drug makes your bodies molecules change, allowing you to do things you usually couldn't do. It alters your molecules.

I'm no scientist lol, just what I read and my take on it.
