It is realistic but i believe you wont be able to see it. At 6’2(same height as me) even 10lbs are barelly noticable.
Anavar is is also cosmetic drug so it will pop out more, the abs will look deeper, muscles will look fuller and you will get the idea that the muscle you gained gave you that look. In reality as soon as you stop the Var, the “var look” goes a way and you are left with maybe slightly increased scale weight that doesnt look like much on the body, and since you got used to how you look on var, you will actually feel like you look WORSE now.
I use Anavar and Winstrol combo for summer months, but when someone compliments me on the look i always say : “its not real, its anavar” and i say that to myself every day, so its easier to get off it in september.
So even if you gain the weight, the most benefit is the fake cosmetic effect, not the weight, and when the Var look goes away you most likely will see the gained weight as fat watery mess. So its better to use it for cutting as it puffs your look up when you are depleted and look like shit. So when you come off Var, you can up the kcals, and fill out at the same time, and then even tho you lose the definition, at least the fullness remains the same and you dont feel so bad.
Also keep in mind that whatever you gain on var, goes away as you stop it. If you are on TRT, the way you look on TRT is the best you can. Adding stuff is just renting weight for a while. If you are not willing to up the cruise dose, you wont be able to maintain.
Basically if you run 200mgs and cant gain 5lbs, no matter how you gain the 5lbs with what drugs, in order to keep it, the 200mgs will have to go up.
The big guy TRT looks like a small guy cycle for that reason. The more you want to maintain, the more your cruise dose is. So unless you are ok with constantly increasing the “trt” there is no real point to gain 5lbs for 4 weeks and then go back to where you were.
Id agree with this, especially for us, tall guys. We need twice the muscle to get any noticable effect, so whoever says 30mgs is a good dose of anything, is probably 5’7 and 175lbs. An elephant needs more of everything in comparison to a big dog. So basically whatever are the ranges of recommended drugs, tall guys probably need the far end of those.
Photo is the only reason i even answer with anything worth reading.
By the photo id say you could probably enhance the look by leaning down a bit, instead of gaining. There is nothing on the planet that looks better than abs do. Dont obsess about weight as such. You would look much bigger and more athletic if youd have some abs and get a tan. And that you also could be maintaining forever.
If you want to add stuff, add 1-2ius of GH. Will add some fullness in the muscle and help with fatloss.
And if you decide to trim down a bit, then you could actually add Anavar a bit when you are completely depleted, to get that nice shredded Var look.
Anyways, at 42 idk if the shitty cholesterol is worth it unless you can also get on statins.
