I’m wondering if anybody could share with me their experiences of their first cycles (maybe someone else has been in this position!?) and what things looked like for you going forward.

As a background, I’ve just had 9 weeks on var, dosing between 15-20mg a day for the last month with zero negative side effects. Muscle gains have been great and my performance has improved significantly.

I’m a little bit anxious about coming off and honestly I wish i could just be using var all the time! It feels strange not having it as a part of my training almost to the point where i want to keep it going. But i think i need to go off, because my physique has bulked up but in quite a “fluffy” way, and i’m wanting to be more leaned out by September. I’m not sure if it’s water retention or fat (probably both!) but off var i’ve always sat at around 16% BF as my normal base physique so not really used to looking more like 18-20… So thinking i’d need to come off var to settle back to that. Idk!

I keep having the thought of maybe I should keep running it at a much lower dose (like 5mg) throughout cutting… But then i feel like i’d never come off it lol. I’m just too happy with how it makes me feel to stop.

So yeah - Anyone else felt like this? Or was hesitant to come off but then had great cutting results? Or is consistently microdosing? Any wisdom and stories about your experiences are much appreciated!
