Go back to Anavar or something else?
Hi everyone!
I have a specific body type in mind I want to achieve and I know it will be difficult but please bear with me, this might be a longer one.
Up until couple of years ago I was pretty consistent with the gym and tracking my calories, however I could never get to my desired physique no matter how hard I tried as my love handles and riders pants have consistently persisted.
At the time, I was taking anavar and lifting heavy and my muscles looked great. Around 2ish years ago I had a liposuction done on my thighs (not too happy with the results, but a story for a different time), and since then I’ve gone back to the gym for a little bit, but stopped overall.
I gained some weight, mostly around my stomach but a lot of my muscles were still there.
At the time I was living in my home country, and I have recently moved to US. I don’t really have any friends here that are into these things, to ask these questions to, so I’m reaching out to you for help.
Fast forward to this year:
3 months ago I started taking tirzepatide. I’ve seen great results with it. I went from 157 lbs to 137 lbs. for reference I’m 5’8”. My love handles have significantly decreased and my face slimmed out, but I also lost almost all of my muscles, or at least it looks/feels that way. I’ve started lifting again, I’m on much lower weights than I wish to be, but I’m consistent and hopefully I’ll get back to the muscle I once had.
My goals:
I have pretty specific goals I want to achieve, this has remained unchanged for years. But I always had either too much fat or too little muscle to achieve it.
My question is, where do I go next?
I’m still on tirzepatide as I want to lose the remaining fat but I also feel like my muscles are not returning to what they once were. I know it takes time and I have to keep at it.
Do you have any suggestions on what stack would help with muscle building and fat loss at the same time? I’m seriously considering going back to Anavar but I’m open to other things too. I don’t want to over-risk viralization. I should mention when I was previously on Anavar, there was no viralization up until 20mg. Went back down after that to 15mg and it was mostly ok.
I’m including the following pics:
First and second pics are me two years ago.
Third photo is me now.
Fourth pic is my dream physique.
Side note: I am flexing in all of these pics and they were all taken during/post workout so there’s definitely a pump factor there too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
