I’m looking for some input on the best way to run testosterone if the goal is just to add more mass. Right now, I'm trying to decide between a couple of different approaches. Does it make more sense to go with a classic 500mg a week and stack that with some Anavar, or should I keep the test lower at 250mg and run 50mg of Var instead?
For some background, I’m 38 years old, 5'10", and currently sitting at 178 pounds. My body fat is around 11% so I’ve definitely got plenty of room to grow from here. I just want to make sure I'm picking the right path to maximize growth without overcomplicating things. What do you guys think would be the better call for someone with my stats?
at 178 lbs and 11% body fat you have a great base to build on man. honestly 500mg test is the gold standard for a reason if you want to actually pack on size. 250mg is more like a high trt plus dose and you might be disappointed with the actual mass gains after the water weight drops
if this is your first real blast i'd say go with the 500mg test. skip the anavar for the first 8 weeks so you know how your body handles the high test solo. you don't want to be guessing which drug is causing side effects if things get weird
250mg test and 50mg var is a nice "feel good" cycle but for pure mass? 500mg is king. var is more for finishing or strength anyway it wont build the same tissue as just upping the test base in my experience
honestly at 38 you gotta watch your hair and prostate lol. 500mg might be a bit much if your prone to sides. maybe split the difference at 350-400? you'll still grow like crazy if your food is on point
dude your lean enough that 500mg is going to look insane on you. just make sure your eating enough to actually grow. at 178lbs you probably need to be slamming calories to make the gear worth it
anavar is expensive and fake half the time anyway. just stick to the 500 test and save the money for more steak and eggs. keep it simple for the first go round
i've done both and the 500mg test cycle blew the lower dose out of the water for sheer size. the var is cool for the pumps but the test is what puts the weight on the scale
make sure you got an ai on hand if you go the 500 route. 11% body fat helps keep aromatization down but 500 is where most guys start seeing spicy nipples or acne
5'10 178 is a bit light for a heavy cycle but since your lean you'll see every bit of muscle you put on. id go 500 test and keep the var for the last 6 weeks to harden everything up. good luck bro
