What is the point of anavar if it doesn't help you lose fat?

[AlphaMaleDawg]

Really what's the point? I always thought it was a fat loss steroid

[Necrosaro]

Anavar makes you look harder which makes it look like you are losing weight. Most of the time cardio is done with anavar which provides the fat burning properties.

[Bossman]

Members on here have gained lean mass on anavar . But it's expensive and you have to dose it kinda high. I wish it could be made into a decent mg per ml injectable dose, like 100mg per ML. I would run it then. But due to stomach issues I can't handle orals so no var for me.

No steroid makes you loose weight? Your diet and cardio does that....

[Knockout_Power]

Have to dissagree that it doesnt help burn fat. Obviously, 90% of this is due to diet and training, but Ive seen friends lose weight on Var will no real change to their diet or training. It wasent a fast process, but they would do 4 weeks on, 4 off and lose roughly 5lbs a month.

I think when people look to AAS to lose fat, they are thinking of some miracle drug that is safe and so effective that you lose 20lbs of pure fat/week with no effort... cant say Ive seen those (no experience with DNP , looks scary)

that's why I asked my question in the first place...


let's say a cutting diet was perfectly implemented, and person A took anavar , and person B took nothing. Would person A lose fat at a faster rate than person B?

[millionairemurph]

In my opinion, when people say "fat burning steroids " they are steroids that
dont cause any water retention
cause an increase in vascularity
and help retain muscle while on a calorie reduced diet

....except tren . I lost fat on that stuff. But i dont mention it as a fat loss steroid because thats stupid, a fat slob shouldnt be juicing.

[c-Z]

If you are cutting.. and doing cardio. And have a strict diet you will loose weight... However with anavar like stated above... You will gain some lean mass... Not bloat, not fat. etc

[baynethebluepit]

I agree with Cz if your taking a powerful substance and hitting the gym your gonna be able to do everything that much better, I E cardio, reps, stamina in general so if you want to keep the diet in check you very well might lose weight but your gonna also look like a beast because your bulking up. Genetics plays a high role to. When I did my first cyc of win I was 24 and my whole body changed. I was 5 10 barely and always 160 to 180 after using and hitting the weights my frame changed six one all day 240. Just my personal results. I never lost the size. Muscle yeah size no

that would be nice...injectable var at a 100mg per ml dose...perfect.

If you dont lose weight and thats the goal,,then your diet is to blame.

this is not about me. I am running a bulking cycle now WITHOUT var. I am pretty much a pro when it comes to diet strategies. I am just trying to understand why anyone would use anavar if it doesn't burn fat and the muscle building properties are shaky at best

added strength and hardness..and some lean gains

[njviking]

well ive been on a very strict/clean diet since I started my cycle about 8 weeks ago.

weeks 1-12 test e at 500mg per week
weeks 1-4 40mg of dbol
weeks 8-12 80mg of winny.

and along with that I will continue to eat clean and do cardio religiously. in week 7 right now so i start running the winny soon. ill keep you posted maledawg on the fat/lean muscle rate and how it goes.

Never done var, but almost everyone I know in real life has used it, and my impression is that it just helps you hold on to that lean body mass while you drop the fat.

In other words, A and B lose the same fat (let's say), it's just that B will lose more muscle doing it.

But that's according to conventional wisdom about bulking/cutting. IMO you can burn fat and gain muscle at the same time w/o drugs or supplements.

[njviking]

well i guess it would depend on the peeps. some people burn alot faster than others. if you took 2 guys with relatively the same amount of BF, same age, etc. etc. and A is doing cardio I cant see how he wouldnt lose more BF than person B.

Well, the one time I was using Var (and w wot get into wy I was) I was able to eat complete crap and not gain any fat. This would lead me to believe that should I have eaten like I normally do on cycle, I would have seen some fat loss. but who knows

[gymnerd]

Var is good to keep your stregth up while you cut and will harden you up a bit. IMO thats about it.


AAS DO raise your metabalism and will cause you to burn more fat than you would if you were on nothing thats a fact but without a diet you will not see any results without a diet yes it will help IMO.

Wait a minute.....you are saying that you gained 3 inches in height in a matter of months from a cycle of Winny??

[c-Z]

I was wondering the same thing? LOL ^^^

[baynethebluepit]

Prob exaggerating a little but I grew bigtime in my early twenties and other then natural growth all I can link it to is the two cycles of winny I did at about 24. All I did was drink and drug from 16 to shit 24 and beyond and I was a small dude until at least 20ish and now I'm 6 foot one 250 all day and I don't know how that happend. I could be full of shit but in that time when I did the two cycles of winny my body changed size and never looked back. Might sound goofy or assenine but just my 2 cents. Maybe it was the budweiser, who knows. Plus you guys love to give me a hard time admit it.

I can bet my whole life that you didn't grow in height because of winny. it was a late growth spurt, and that is a fact

[baynethebluepit]

I agree but it seems coincidental doesn't it? It prob was a growth spurt but i had some mean results back then. I was also 198, I realize the 250 I am now is prob 15 lbs over weight but that's it. Just sharing my crazy opinion like everyone else.
