How much to progress on 2nd cycle

[pwrlftr2]

I have planned two cycles this year-on which I just started and the second in the fall. I am interested in strength not weight gains and therefore have chosen Test prop and anavar for my cycles. Currently I am doing a ten wk. cycle with 100 mg of prop eod and 40 mg of anavar ed. Working great so far. My question is if I am after strength how much do I have to increase these two in the second cycle to have similiar results or do I? Forgive my ignorance but I could find really nothing that shows specifically how much to increase amounts in order to attain the same results but from everything I have read it appears there is some sort of tolerance built up or the receptor sites become less effective or some scientific stuff which makes my head hurt. Please give an old guy a little help here. Thanks in advance.

I would up the anavar to 60mgs ED as a start

Test Prop is very good at building mass so this would go against what you have said above. Whilst using anavar with it can be usefull for lean muscle gains (which will only be noticeable with a low bf%) it will still build mass.

Anyway-to answer your question - cycle on time + pct = cycle off time. By this time your receptors will have sufficently recovered, unfortunately there is no formula that I know of that you can use to work out how much to use for your next cycle. I would have a look at Intermediate type cycles and compare them to what you're taking now and how your body reacts to it. By splitting the difference you may find the right balance.

I hope this is of some use

If the first cycle worked well for you, I personally would just repeat it exactly. If you get less results, then you can increase on the 3rd cycle. As X said, 60mg anavar is a reasonable and effective dose, so it's ok to change that. I'd leave the rest alone and just duplicate the previous successful cycle and PCT. As they say, if it works, don't mess with it.

To gain strength, be sure to also design a special strength-building workout with the proper exercises for getting stronger. The way you work out is as important as the steroids you use. An ineffective workout will not get you good results even with good gear.
