I'm a professional ball player... i'm on Anavar and Winstrol w/ no test at all. I noticed huge strength gains, explosiveness as well just just overall stronger aggression. Might look into that bro...
Anavar @ 40mg ED 1-12
Winstrol @ 50mg ED 1-6
Don't run the Winstrol for too long, as it interferes with the cross-linking of the collagen in your joints which will lead to weaker joints over time.
Thanks you, this is the first time I've found an anavar+winstrol experience. On paper, while not synergistic, they both are known for strength with less mass, and since they work in 2 different ways, a stack of them at the cost effective doses(both 40-60mg) would be much more effective than alone even at double doses.
Add that both are less surpressive than most steroids and thus give keepable gains. For fighters and other strength sports, this is perfect. However, when using it for over 4 weeks I would use a maintenance dose of test beside it(100-150mg ew), just to keep every test induced body function well running. Your own test will be too surpressed after 4 weeks to keep it all running smooth. At 100-150mg, your red blood cell count will raise significantly, and so will your endurance. Higher than 250mg will deliver a bloat, not advisable.
About the collagen, in tendons, nobody is sure what winny does. It does increase the risk of injury, luckely anavar is known to strengthen the tendons against that. I would not worry too much about it with a stack.
In joints, I would not worry about the collagen either, but about the lack of fluid. Sore joints are quite common when on winstrol. Supplementing with MSM, glucosamine and omega 3 is a must if you want to keep it safe with heavy training. If it hurts, cut back on training or stop winstrol.
More on-topic, I think we can all agree that mma-fighters need much smaller doses than bodybuilders. Which as to use depends on what your goals are.
If you're just interested in added endurance, add an endurance dose of test, (150mg ew). Your recovery will speed up, and your red blood cell count will increase, effectivly increasing your endurance. You could try eq, but I find it is very overrated.
If your interested in agression and strength gains, without muscle gain, you will want to look in doing halo before a fight and before heavy training, it will increase your power significantly. Anavar is very useful too, just do not take it too close to the fight training, as the high pumps might cause cramps and cripple you. Winny can be used if you treat it right, quit if you have sore joints, than it's not for you. I do not like trenbolone at all, it kills your endurance. I found that out at a mere 250mg tren acetate a week, I will not take it in-season ever again. Some people say that lower doses will not have that effect. Whenever you're doing any of this over 4 weeks, always use a base maintenance test next to it for health.
If you're looking to bulk up a little, a higher amount of test should be your steroid of choice. You can use arimidex or proviron to stop the bloat, but I'd prefer a decent dose of masteron, as it will raise endurance and strength as well.
For recovery, you might want to consider deca. If you're a tested athlete, nandrolone(and trenbolone) are not advised because of the long detection time.
In summary, my cycles of choice would be
endurance/recovery:
test at 150mg ew
strength/power/agression(endurance and recovery will also go up):
halo 20mg before heavy training/40mg match
anavar 40-60mg ed
test at 150mg ew if used longer than 4 weeks
getting your liver values checked every 2 weeks is a
must with this cycle. While the liver toxicity of 17aa-orals is grossly inflated, this will help you to keep safe. Running milk thistle and other liver protectors alongside will help you stay on this for a longer time.
Bulking up
300-400mg test ew
300-400mg var ew
Be careful not to get to big, mass without added power is will only hinder your flexibility. Be sure to train in your new state for a while before a fight. You might find yourself too big, as I did at 114kg. I'm back at 106kg, and I'm much more agile and even powerful than I was at 114kg
Another very decent article about this(while I do not agree on some points)
