Cycle Advice (surgery)

[Leviathan]

Hey All,

I am heading back to Thailand this summer to train Muay Thai and had planned to run my first ever test cycle. I was going to run Test E for 12 weeks along with Anavar (for 8). Unfortunately I am having septorhinoplasty surgery at the very end of August and won't be able to workout for 6 weeks. Because of that I am not going to run my cycle which is extremely disappointing since Thailand is the perfect place to do it.

Instead I was just thinking of running an 8 week Anavar cycle to help maintain some muscle while training. I was thinking about running some low dose test but was told it would be a waste since your first cycle with test is always the best so I should just wait until I can do a full 12 week cycle with a decent amount of test. What do you guys think? Just run the Var or add some low dose test or anything else you would recommend?

Stats:

24yrs old (soon to be 25)
6'2" 180lbs 12%bf
Working out for about 4 years, started at 130lbs. The highest I have been is 190lbs at 10%bf but law school and a broken foot caused me to lose a fair bit of mass this year.
Only previous cycle was 40mg of Anavar for 6 weeks last year in Thailand. I liked it a lot, helped me get nice and lean while maintaining muscle and increased my lifts.

Thanks for your input

I think I am just going to run Anavar for 8 weeks at 60mg per day, split up between two doses of 30mg each. I will run a light PCT for 4 weeks and then will have an extra 4 weeks after PCT before surgery.

Do you guys think I should run a low dose of testosterone during the cycle? Any input would be appreciated.

i'd run the test,

i've heard good thing about decca and heling, trying to help a buddy find whats right for him right now ( he's trying to heal and cant work to hard but wants to be able to strengthen his shit enough that he isnt constanly on medication or getting surgery )

Thanks for the reply man. I'm not trying to heal from surgery though. I was going to do a 12 week test cycle but AFTER the cycle I have surgery so during the critical time of keeping gains after PCT I would not be able to workout. So instead I am going to run Anavar for 8 weeks just to cut a bit of fat and gain some strength while training Muay Thai.

I was just wondering if it would be worthwhile running a low dose test along with the Anavar or if it would be wiser to 'pop my cherry' with test (since I hear gains are always the best with your first test cycle) when I can run it for 12 week at a decent dose (500mg per week would be what I would run for my first test cycle). Sorry if my first post confused anyone.
