I've never tried gear before. Came across this subreddit and did some lurking in the sidebar.

To give an idea, I'm 24 years old, 5'8", and weigh a buck fifty with a wet t-shirt. I've done fight training and competing most of my life, but I don't have the physique I want (if like to get into modeling I the near future). I started weight training a few months ago as a natty, and although I'm seeing progress and adding weight to my compound lifts gradually every week, it's a slow process and I want to speed it up. I want to do a single cycle to get quick results in the next few months, get a "natty" look with a decent amount of muscle mass and maintain a low BF% quicker than I would if I remained natty. This might be a noob thing to say, but I don't see myself doing more than one cycle.

That being said, from the research I've done in the sidebar, anavar caught my attention the most. It has very minimal side effects, aside from cholesterol imbalances (and my cholesterol isn't an issue for me). The only thing that scares the shit out of me is the fact that oral gear tends to take a toll on your liver and kidneys more than injectables. Also, a lot of the threads suggest that I should base it with test.

Can anyone provide suggestions? From your experiences, are there better alternatives to anavar? I'm very reluctant to start a cycle on something like tren or HGH, even if I could afford them. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
