    Oxandrolone vs Winstrol

    I was going to purchase Winstrol from a reputable source, but they recommend that Oxandrolone is better. Since Oxandrolone costs almost twice as much I would like to know if it is worth it.

    If it won't break the bank var is definitly a preferable choice over winny. I personally like both but do tend to have joint and hair problems from winny. LOL. If it's possible use var @ 1mg/kg of body weight. The strength gains will be very good.

    HAIRLOSS is the main reason I have never tried winny or masteron even though I want to soooo bad. I will be using var for my next cutter pretty soon.

    Winstrol is good...it's not pretty, in terms of elevating your liver enzymes and doing damage to your lipid profile...it'll cut you up though. Winstrol and prop is probably the cheapest cutting cycle around.

    Anavar is a better drug, but more costly.

    1mg/kg?? That would be 90mgs per day for a 200lb guy. Sounds a bit high. I've heard such a wide range of var dosages though, I don't know what to think. I guess its trial and error to figure out what works best for oneself.

    That is definitly at the high end. But how often do we see people go 100mg/day + with drols? I think the main reason Var has not been used in dosages that high is mainly b/c of cost. 40mg/day I think should be the minimum effective dose for most and 1mg/kg of body weight would be the high end.

    I do about 50mgs/day of Winny (with test of course). I've been on it for...umm...I don't even want to give anyone any unsafe ideas ("hooker does it, blah blah blah...")...but I've been on Winny/Prop for a long time with no problems.

    var is great for strength winni is not
    winni will harden and define existing gains
    var will give lean gains and big strength

    i know ppl. than gain nicely off a cycle of var
    i like what winni has done for me in terms of defining my existing gains
    var has given me brute strength in the past
    if your looking for definition and hard muscles then go with winni
    if you want major strength increase and some lean gains then go with var
    run winni last 6-8 weeks of cycle @ 50-60mg ed
    or
    run var at atleast 50mg ed for 8-10 wks
    a var cycle will cost alot, winni is alot cheaper
    good luck bro

    In my opinion Var is worth the extra money if you don't want to loose your hair. I was already loosing mine before I even started AAS so I just went with winny.

    Now for most any dosages you only consider Lean Body Mass (lbm)

    I assume it would be the same in this case.
    A 250 lb Bodybuilder wouldnt take the same var dose as a 250lb obese adult.

    Just to clarify to help some bros out w/ dosing.

    To find your LBM take your % bf x your body weight. Subtract that number from your total body weight and you have your LBM

    200lbs @ 17%BF has 166lbs of LBM

    Powder is the only way I could afford to take var at that kind of dose. Tabs would be out of my budget.

    Thanks for catching that Mealticket. Definitly use lean body mass to calculate dosages.
