Var and Testicle Atrophy?

[mc_donkey]

Hey everyone

I am running my first cycle at 40 mg's a day... I am 195 pounds, 6'5 (I am using it to maintain muscle while losing the fat)

I am just curious... So much debate whether var actually does make your balls smaller...

So on 40 mg's a day should I worry about this? if yes how soon will I notice the shrinkage?

Also what can I take to help with this process so I can return back to normal if it so happens to make them smaller...

Also... Does it make them SUPER small?... Like will it be noticeably smaller?

anywho hope to get some answers from you guys! Thanks!

I doubt you will see any shrinkage at all. Var is pretty safe, and 40mgs is a minimal dose for someone your size. I've had to take an aweful lot of test for several cycles before I've seen any shrinkage. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Anavar will suppress your HPTA and your balls will shrink!
It is one of the safer steroids in terms of easy on your liver/lipids/bp with few other sides, but it will definitely suppress you which means your balls will shrink.

Of course they will go back to normal once your are done your cycle and PCT.

Also, using HCG during your cycle will help to keep your balls from shrinking.

HCG eh?.... I'll prob pick it up I have heard it is quite useful...

I'm gonna do some research on it right now

I ran 70mg a day for 6wks and didn't get any shrinkage. Sex drive was slightly decreased though.

6'5" and 195 lbs. How much fat do you have? You could easily lean up through diet. Or add 25-30 lbs to your frame naturally. If anything you may want to make sure your diet is in check in the diet section of the forum. Diet is 80% of whatever your goals are. Once the diet and training are in check you could look at running a test only first cycle for 10-12 weeks. Do your homework first. Good luck.

HCG is overkill for a VAR only cycle, just do a standard PCT

with all due respect to the poster, don't listen to that, you won't need hcg for an anavar only cycle.. and everyone that I know that has tried var has nvr experience ball shrinkage

I don't think you need HCG either, but it will keep your balls from shrinking, if that's a big concern.

Anavar WILL suppress your HPTA. It stops the production of GnRH, which stops LH, which stops Test. Everyone's balls are different, but even if you don't notice significant testicular atrophy, if it is real anavar, it will stop your testicles from making testosterone.

oh yeah, i wasnt disputing that it's suppressive, ive jus nvr heard of anyone's balls actually shrinking from it
