Finally got my wife to try var

Wife has always been scared to pin but finally got her to give var a try. She mostly does crossfit/type workouts but is damn strong for her size. 95lbs, 4'9'' Filipina LBFM. Trying to get her to start posting/logging on here as well.

Any ladies out there with similar weight/workout routine have experience running var? Thinking she should start 10mg/day (split am/pm) first week then 20mg/day (am/pm) depending on tolerance. Probably mix some taurine in there too to help control pumps.

No personal experience but I can remember some to the others talking about their wifes using var and 10 being enough. I'm sure they will see this soon and jump in. As with anything start low to check tolerance.

yeah bro, 10mg is a good dosage for females, my wife did 10mg and loved it, she didnt do crossfit back then though she did compete in fitness, physique and bodybuilding shows, so i cant say how it will affect crossfit, my wife now does crossfit though, she loves it, ive never tried it and likely never will lol,

i will third the 10mg split twice a day. my wife is 5'7 133 and when she did up the Var to 15mg put on more water weight and she has run about 5 cycles now

My wife just ran var @ 15 mg split am pm with clen10 weeks she put on 12 lbs she loves it did hold water though

I've taken var in the past and loved it! However, I don't do crossfit and I have a larger build than your wife, but if I can help just ask. I see this thread was started almost two months ago so I'm wondering what kind of result the OP's wife saw after her cycle.

How were the results of the Anavar cycle for her?

Hi everyone!! I'm the mysterious wifey. I absolutely hate needles. The hubs talk me into giving var a shot so I did. My main goal was to get more toned, but also stronger without bulking too much. I did a 5 week test cycle and had significant gains in my lifts and weight gain. None of which I've lost post cycle so very happy with that. Though I be but small, I have always been a strong weight/oly lifter handling weights more than 1 1/2 to 2 times my bodyweight. I have always plateaued in weight gain at 98 lbs and I'm now 103. As for my lifts, all have increased 20-30 lbs. None of the weight from muscle gain affected my CF workouts such as metcons, cardio/endurance, high intensity workouts. However, I did start experiencing pumps in my erectors during deadlifts, KBS, and running, but I think it is because of the weight gain so I added taurine to my supplement regimen and they haven't been a problem since. The side effects weren't bad at all. I was a bit edgy and tense every so often, but that is something I can deal and be more aware of it next time. My profile pic is before my test cycle and the attached is my 4th week in. I am starting my 2nd cycle the beginning of next month.

Hi!! Welcome! You look great!

Always nice to have another girl on MC So I'm curious as to why you and your hubby decided to go with test. Also, how much? I've never had the desire to try that due to the sides. This is why it's nice to have another girl on MC so I can learn from you. Your pics looks great so clearly something is working for ya!

Hi! Thanks so much. I only wanted to test it out first. I'll be doing a 6-8 week cycle next month. I did 10 mg a day, 5 in the am and 5 in the pm. For my size and build already I think anything more than 10 would be to much. I didn't taper off as others have suggested in other threads and my PTC went smoothly. I just made sure to eat really clean the 2 weeks following. Are you still doing your plank challenge?

I misunderstood what you were saying... I read it as you were TAKING test (lol), but now rereading I see that you were testing the var. Well glad it was my mistake and you're not really on test, cuz that wouldn't be so good, lol! Anyway, now that I'm on the same page, I think you're right and that's a good dose for you and your build. I love var! You feel sooo strong! What are your goals? ...compete, build muscle, lean down or just look good naked! And yep, still doing the ab challenge! Feel free to join in. A few others just started it with me. It's not really a competition, just a place to be held accountable which is what I need.

My wife started at 10 mg Ed for 2 years before she moved up to.20 mg split Ed did very well at both doses

My main goal(s) is building lean muscle and more gains in my lifts. I think looking good naked can be checked of the list. I've been competing in CF for a few years now. I actually did a team comp this past Sat and have a individual comp mid Oct in Miami. The past couple years I've been tossing the idea around of possibly doing a figure comp, maybe bikini, but my self confidence isn't quite there yet.

Im quick to say you should go for it, but I'm like you in that I'm on the fence. Almost 2 years ago, a friend did actually talk me in to competing (would've been physique), but almost as soon as I agreed to it do it with her, I was in a car accident and life kinda spiraled downhill from there. I put on some weight and had to deal with other priorities that came up. Things are much better now and I'm losing the weight, but I'm back to not wanting to compete, lol... Oh well. How long have you been cf training?

Let me be the judge of that!

On a more serious note, welcome to MuscleChemistry.com and you look awesome! My wife is into crossfit now, but she use to compete in physique shows and bodybuilding, and never thought she would go for that cross fit stuff, but she is addicted to it, and ive never tried it, I just like to talk shit on cross fitters lol, even though i secretly admire their stamina.

ANyow, just wanted to say welcome! and I know everyone is waiting for my signature saying right now to se if i scare you away or creep ya out, but i will refrain from saying "I'd hit it!" , or did I ? hmmm lol

Seriously though, welcome!

Laugh Out Loud! Easy there Presser, that's for the closest of close friends only!

She's starting her second var cycle now. That libido bump is real!

Awe. Thank you!! I still don't have the 'balls' to do a figure comp... maybe in another year or so. I found CF July 2013...so just over 3 years. I am also a coach. I've have been kicking into high gear for this comp so I haven't been able to be on hear lately. I'll on my 3rd week of my 2nd var cycle and it has been much diff from my 1st. My temperament has been sooo much better, but I started getting insomnia on my 1st week. I got some Gaba supplements from my chiro and it works like a charm... thank goodness.

Thanks, Presser. It will take more than that to scare me away, lol!! Maybe the hubs will share the wealth sooner than later.
