12 weeks. I had initially planned on doing Winstrol for the first six weeks and then replace it with Anavar for 7-12. But here and there it's been changed due to opinion of others. Everything else was the same.
The issue is you may have read some misleading articles on anavar.
There is a massive amount of articles written by different body building websites that point to anavar being a fat loss drug, if you look most of these are copy and pasted with some wording changed. It’s a spread of misinformation, the whole anavar burns VAT and other abdomen fat is bro science. What anavar can do is enhance once’s abdomen area immensely but only well in a low enough body fat to have abs, the DHT nature of var makes you look hard.
Maybe this came from the whole AR receptor in fat tissue, because yes there is most definitely an AR receptor within fat but AAS don’t specifically trigger fat loss within that receptor (the amount is insignificant). So most fat loss relative to AAS is what ones doing on a cutting cycle, which is determined by diet, cardio and intensity of training - not directly the drugs. Another indirect action is the increase of lean body mass, the more muscle you gain the more calories you burn, meaning your resting metabolic rate will increase thus helping you burn fat if that’s your goal.
So a cutting cycle - the drugs don’t support the cut, the drugs support the cut look! The cut it’s self is diet and energy burned.
So typically within a cutting cycle one chooses drugs that don’t aromatize a ton, or if they do they follow strict estrogen control, this is to avoid retain water and looking puffy. Other common drugs are DHT derivatives like anavar, winstrol, primobolan, masteron, and others. These are employed because they have a way of making you look hard, masteron also possesses some other cool stuff but that’s another post. DHT derivatives can help gain lean mass of course but the gains won’t be substantial which is typically why these are employed as cosmetic drugs.
So drug choice is based on their mechanism not the ability to accelerate fat loss.
The next main portion of AAS use and cutting is simply to help retain strength and muscle mass well in a calorie deficit, however where you stand I don’t think this is a concern really.
Oral AAS are hard on the liver so you’re going to be taxing your liver and not even be able to see the best part of the drug.
If it were me I would put this whole idea aside for now well you cut a little, if you were hell bent on doing it anyway since you’re a grown man I’d highly advise you only use the test for 12 weeks and run more arimidex, at your body fat gyno is a huge risk. So don’t do it and if you do 12 weeks test, 1mg arimidex ED, then PCT of clomid and nolva 2 weeks after your last shot, and try to get aromasin if you can to use in PCT (I would not use arimidex in PCT).
