    Anavar Only????

    Quick question for you guys....has anyone ever ran a Var only cycle and if so how were the results? I just left the gym and a couple of guys were swearing by it. They said they added muscle and leaned up. I was always under the impression VAR should be run first four or last four weeks of a test cycle. Can or should it be run alone? Thanks guys!

    A have seen mixed results with this stuff in friends that have used it. I got a buddy of mine who took it at 80mg per week for 8 weeks and got some good gains but he is a genetic freak. Stays in great shape with a shitty diet. Another friend who took the same dose and same time frame with little gains.

    I have seen a lot of threads about Var but mostly from the stand point of how someone liked it as opposed to someone saying how and what they ran it with.

    I have been tempted to try it myself but all i read about it is that its not that great and any oral shouldnt be taken alone. I am holding down about 500 tabs right now but I dont want to just waste them by taking them solo.

    A lot of guys have ran Var only and do like it. It depends on what you are hoping to achieve. I have ran it twice at 100mg/ed liked it but won't do it again. For the results I want I need more than just orals.

    What kind of results are looking for?

    I've never ran it by itself, but it appears to be one of the few that can be ran by itself with decent gains. Plus its a mild steroid , compared to your harsh M-Drol "pro-steroids " and junk.

    4 weeks is not long enough with Var. I liked 6-8 weeks at 80-100 mgs everyday.

    Can you run it alone? Sure. Should you run it alone? Well I guess thats subjective.

    I was always under the impression that it should be run with test but these guys were swearing by it. I looked into it and var is spendy! It seems as if 100mgs is the dose

    With test, it will be a better cycle overall, obviously.
    That is a downside, var costs a pretty penny. Probably a reason I see so many people running 40mgs for 4 weeks, then not seeing much of anything gains wise and they wonder why...

    100mgs seem to be the sweet spot for me... no sides whatsoever as well.

    What do you generally get out of the cycle? Size? Just to lean out?

    100mg/ed for 8 weeks on a clean diet and you'll get what you want. You may want to try tbol first at 60-80mg/ed for 8 weeks. It's a little less money with what I am told... similar results. I will be running Tbol for the first time very soon but not solo.

    TBol is another decent oral only cycle.

    I've seen people do Tbol+var with good results.

    Is it as mild as the Var? Can it be ran alone? I have heard that strength gains with var are pretty impressive

    My first cycle was t-bol and anavar (both at 40mgs); gained a solid 10 pounds however there wasn't much for strength gains.

    I am interested in the var/tbol cycle I hear good things about it and may try it sometime on the future.

    It is just as mild and can be ran alone with similar results. You should see a very good increase in strength in either of them

    Thats strange you did not see an increase in strength.... maybe dose related.

    impressive. I heard var helps avoid the watery/bloated test feel/look. How long did you run that cycle?

    60 to 80mg ed. for 8 weeks. If you're running it alone go with 70 or 80mg

    You have to run PCT on var and Tbol.... trust me I have had blood work done while on Var only and it will shut you down pretty hard.... you need PCT no matter what

    I know a lot of guys say you don't need it and I have read that a lot but like I said I have had the blood work done and saw it first hand. You can get away witha mild PCT like Nolva 40/40/20/20 and should be ok.

    I just finished a var only cycle and put about 20lbs on. First cycle ever and loved it. I am pretty gifted with my genetics so I wouldn't expect those type of gains for most people. I am 6'2 and started off between 205-210 and am about 225-230 now. Great vascularity with this stuff. My strength gains were through the roof and I blew up. I ate pretty clean and like a beast.

    I ran it by itself and liked the solid gains but dont expect it to be amazing. Sure i made good gains but nothing in comparison to a test only cycle. IMO its kind of a waste of money by itself

    Var's real beneift IMO is fat loss. Most people I hear that run Var say they lean up. Thats what really puts it over a test only cycle IMO.

    In red you are coming across as if you are stating facts from experience and in blue you admit you have never even tried Var..... How do you give an opinion when you've never tried it??

    On a lot of users they do not experience much fat loss unless they are very low BF to start.... For the record if you are 20% BF and take Var hoping it is going to shed the fat.... its will not work like that.

    ANAVAR is a great oral AAS that can be used solo. Most men I work with do well on 40-60mg for 10-12 weeks. Stack with some OTC Creatine for added results.

    I've had a couple of cycles of T-bol only (80mg / 8 weeks) and in the last cycle I used it with Clen and have gained 5lbs in bodyweight whilst losing about 5% bodyfat, which I am pretty impressed with! Got another 2 weeks to go, but I'm hard, lean and feel good and ready to strut my stuff on holiday - lol! PCT will be 40/40/20/20 nolva.
