Anavar for 1st cycle

**BigNar** · 09-02-2005, 01:46 PM

This is my first post but I have been reading around this forum and others for awhile but I didn't find the need to sign up and post because I could find out just about anything I wanted to know by simply searching or waiting for someone to post information. But I have recently decided that I wanted to do a cycle of Anavar at 40mg/day for 8 weeks for my 1st cycle and of course PCT with nolvadex and/or clomid and other items that I can't think about off the top of my head. I decided i wanted to use Anavar becuase of its safety, great stength gains, and LBM of 10-20lbs that you keep. One problem though is the $$$$$ it costs. I have been looking for it in powder form for awhile but only have found it for as low as $74/g. (Just have to keep looking)I have one question. I have read on the forums that you keep almost all of your gains in LBM after the cycle but I haven't read what % of the strength you gained you will keep after the cycle is over. Thanks for any replys.

I kept all my strength from anavar alone, but I sure as hell didn't put on 10-20lbs. Granted I wasn't eating a tremendous bulking diet, but all in all var is not a mass builder. At 50mg/day for 8 weeks I gained maybe 5lbs from the var (give or take). But the strength and vascularity were incredible.

I love var, just can't get it anymore. That weight gain will be hard w/out test or something else harsh which kind of negates the safety of var. What symatech said... very nice vascularity.

Thanks for the reply guys. I know I read some threads that said they gained 10 or 15 pounds. The Anavar 101 thread claimed you could gain 10-20 pounds if you clean bulk. Would their be any other way to measure the amount of powder besides putting it in a capsule machine or weighing it on a scale?

If you don't want to cap it then just suspend it in some everclear or peg (or combo of both). I don't like capping things, so whenever I get my var powder I always just suspend it.

var is more of a cutting compound, i think you'll find it quite difficult to put on 10-20 lbs from 8 weeks of var w/out some sort of test, even with a great bulking diet

Throw in 500 mg test prop weekly with the var and you will be happy with it. Otherwise alone in my eyes it is a waste of money.

ditto, var alone won't put alot of mass on, some strengh gains is all. Anavar is a pretty weak oral, at that dose alone, 10 to 20 pounds in 8 weeks is a dream. Add Test bro, then you might see 15 pounds in that time.
