    I have to say that I have never experienced any sides on Var. Have never gone over 50mgs ED but am planning on doing 100mgs ED for 6 weeks this upcoming cycle.

    The Stomach pains I have heard of. Are you taking your dose with or with out food? Are you splitting the dose up or taking the complete 37.5 ED?

    With high doses of around 80-100mgs you get a Signifgant suppression in appetite so if you want to consume 5000 calories your going to have major problems,hence,not advised for a bulker. Var itself does not break down fat, it plays an indirect role in this process because the substance often suppresses the athlete's appetite,it`a a myth that it`s chemical structure burns fat.Doses over 100mgs,I got sick a number of times,the food just did not agree with me,it effects the gastrointestinal tract in high doses.Var is one of the few steroids which cannot aromatize to estrogen. This characteristic has various advantages for the athlete in the side effects department. With var the muscle system does not get the typical watery appearance as with many steroids.Some athletes thus report continued diarrhea. Although these symptoms are not very pleasant they still help the athlete break down fat and become harder.

    I would dissagree in the study hooker reported:

    Now here’s some interesting stuff for anyone interested primarily in the fat burning properties of this stuff: Anavar may be what we’d call a “fat-burning steroid ”. Abdominal and visceral fat were both reduced in one study when subjects in the low/normal natural testosterone range used anavar (4). [B]In another study, appendicular, total, and trunk fat were all reduced with a relatively small dose of 20mgs/day (8), and no excercise.[/B] In addition, weight gained with ‘var may be nearly permanent too. It might not be much, but you’ll stand a good chance of keeping most of it. In one study, subjects maintained their weight (re)gains from anavar for at least 6 months after cessation (2)! Concomitantly, in another study, Twelve weeks after discontinuing oxandrolone, 83% of the reductions in total, trunk, and extremity fat were also sustained (8)! If you’re regaining weight, Anavar will give you nearly permanent gains, and if you are trying to lose fat (and you keep your diet in check), the fat lost with Anavar is basically looks to be nearly permanent.

    So what exactly does anavar do if it doesn't decrease fat it only decreses appetite, because it shows here that even low dosages of var will decrease fat, and there is no mention of decreased appitite.

    Just started var, and I do notice a little trouble sleeping. (don't know if it's related or not, but it does seem to increase the heart rate a little for about two hours after the dose)

    Curious about this?

    Does var increase heart rate or effect the heart or body temp like some fat burners?
    Never heard or read of it doing this before, but that doesn't mean it doesn't.

    Var Absolutely Kicks Ass

    SLEEPING
    I have had no trouble sleeping at 50 mg per day. Quite the contrary, I sleep like a baby because I workout at 6am and hit it hard. If you're lifting later in the day this may be part of your sleep issue.

    DOSING
    Also, you're supposed to space out Anavar throughout the day because it has a 9 hour half life. This means that if you take it all at 6am, your levels will drop off at 3 pm

    20 mg is not enough to get best results, but a good starter dose for a couple days. Up to 40 per day and you'll love the results.

    BACK PUMPS

    I hit back hard this morning, and I have to admit after 5 sets of back extensions, my lower back felt like hell for an hour or so, but as far as I'm concerned, any muscle pump is good.

    Hope this helped, I've also heard stacking with test works wonders.

    you got it. I've had ZERO sides. I think a lot of OTC supplements are more likely to cause unwanted sides, like explosive diarreah , bloating, dehydration, water weight, etc...

    maxima,

    What day did you feel the var kick in?
    Hows the fat loss and strength gains going?
    are you taking var by itself?

    2nd or 3rd day I felt it kick in, but I think it may have been mental at that point, especially since I was only running 20 mg on days 1-3.

    I am curently taking Var by itself while I wait for some test to arrive. DO NOT ADD D_BOL, despite any retarded posts you may have seen recently.

    I feel great, sleep great, and people have commented on increased definition and hardness. I'm still fighting a little pesky lovehandle area fat, but my upperbody, quads, and cavs have tightened up considerably.

    Popping my first dose as we speak. I will run 50mgs ED for 8 weeks along side of my current 650mgs of test e that I will run for a total of 15weeks. I can't wait to start feeling the results. I have heard nothing but good things about Var.

    OK, about the sleep, I have no freakin idea (obviously) if it's the var, but I am definately seeing am increase in heart rate.

    Keep in mind that I am running a UGL product, so maybe I'm not even really de****g with Var. I've been on for about a week now, and have started to see some hardening around my chest and abs.

    I take 30mg first thing in the morning, and 30 mg in the evening. I have had trouble sleeping, but it could be totaly unrelated, and who the phuck knows what's really in those caps anyway. LOL

    lower backpains from Anavar ?

    Used to have them all the time, till I upped my water consumption alot.
    Anavar is a "mild"steroid , but still harsh on liver and kidneys, so, drink drink drink! (water) and I'm positive your sides will subside.

    I got a strange lighter than my complexion discoloration, from wrist to inner elbow. Though on both arms it was mostly the right. Not a rash, it wasn't raised, or flaky just slightly discolored. No one ever noticed it (again slight), began to clear after PCT, and is completely gone.
