Reta/ Var for cutting 22% bf > 15%

Have you ever seen the Scally protocol? Dr Scally posted results of one individual on here many years ago if you search for it.. It was a recomp protocol of:
Month 1: 50mg anadrol per day
Month 2: 100mg anadrol per day
Month 3: 150mg anadrol per day.
He monitored patient's blood work throughout. Patients were not on trt testosterone. Only anadrol. They would lose weight and gain muscle by the end and have minimal suppression of their hpta since anadrol doesn't aromatize. Anadrol supresses appetite in many people but is also a great anabolic.
These days we have trt and glp1s which would be the safer route to take. But it's still pretty cool I think. I attempted it a few months ago out of curiosity but I don't even think I made it a week. Daily anadrol is tough. I get acid reflux and indigestion if its not just a few days per week preworkout. I'm on trt so it wouldn't be quite the same anyway.

Anadrol is fantastic. Have you tried the injectable version to bypass the GI issues?
 
Am I the only that takes anadrol with a preworkout meal? I never get gi issues from it.
I always take it with food. The gerd is inconsistent and mild which leads me to believe it could be due to other factors such as the size of the meal, protein content, and how many other pills I’m taking with it. For others it does seem to be a rather limiting side effect.

I guess we can consider ourselves fortunate.

I’ve been having good luck with sodium bicarbonate tabs for some of the dyspepsia related to Reta dose increases. I’ve also read Betaine helps with this by assisting in digestion. I used to think that var was giving me horrible gerd until I realized that I was taking it with meal 1 and (literally) 25-28 other pills. With a slowed gastric emptying, all those pills just sitting there are going to make for some nasty stomach contents that can reflux upwards. Have you ever smelled some of these liver / kidney support pills? Awful…

Bottom line is I was quick to blame the oral steroids for the gerd when that wasn’t the culprit.

omeprazole and never look back. GERD is caused by dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach contents to reflux into the esophagus. Omeprazole reduces stomach acid and decreases irritation.

I’ve come close to using it but the gerd always subsides. It’s really been most bothersome for the few weeks after a Reta dosage increase but I’m at my max dosage for now and luckily it hasn’t come back

I make my own Pre-Workout with 3-4g betaine added to the mix. Haven't had any dyspepsia issues yet, just random bouts of nausea here and there that pass quickly. I do feel the extra "fullness," but I imagine there's a combo of actual effects and placebo happening since I haven't been on the Reta but a month now.
