when running anavar alone is that basically a side effect free cycle ??

**tcook** · 12-19-2010, 09:43 AM

sorry to blabber on as i have already posted a thread about var but am cureous as i hear its basically side effect free, gives good solid gains. so why then do most say to run test as a base with it ? if your just looking to cut up, add some weight to ur bench etc and put some decent lean mass on why not just run anavar alone?? i hear some dont even bother with pct for it, or if they do its a very mild one. as for loss of libido couldnt you just run something like tribulus to prevent that ? if you could just fill me in why var is bad to run solo if your only looking for strength gains and slight b,f drop with a few lbs of lean mass i would be very greatfull.
thanks again all

ive been considering this also . 8 weeks at 50mg a day. looking forward to replies i know people that have done var alone and liked the results . BUT i also see the problem with running any thing with out test. as far as getting shut down . so ill be researching ...

theres nothing wrong with a var only cycle...yes you can run test with it but you dont have too...i have done a 6 week var only cycle at 60mg a day just to try it out as i had not done so previously and loved it...i felt great,gained a few lbs of dry mass and lost a percent or two of bf...as for labido loss i didnt experiance that i actually had a spike in labido for the whole time i was on...i personaly would use a pct of just nolva at like 40/40/20/20 for an 8 week cycle that should get it done...

same here. But I had a small libido problem during cycle. Everything went back to normal just after pct...

YOU ALWAYS NEED PCT!!!!!

OTC GARBAGE WILL NOT WORK!!

I almost forgot, even though var is on the mild side, I still recc support for liver, prostate, bp, etc....

I too have ran Var only.... although it is not as mild as some think. I have a full blood panel done plus an ultrasound on my liver while running var at 100mg/ed for 8 weeks.

Now, you must remember that everyone responds in a different way to AAS. Var almost completely shut me down and my liver drew enough attention on the blood work for the doctor to call for an ultrasound and I was running milk thistle during the cycle. I have a friend who ran it at 60mg/ed for 8 weeks as well and his test levels were extremely low but he did not get the liver problems.

Remember if you are going to run Var alone, which IMO is a great first cycle and introduction to AAS, make sure you run a proper PCT and take care of your liver.

Good Luck!

so basially var only cycles are great as long a your not expecting too much then yea

100 mg is to high for var .and running it for 8 weeks at that no wonder why it was harsh.

i think the key here as bertuzzi stated is dosage notice he ran 100mgs per day and experianced negative impact on test production and liver values and i believe age and endocrine system development will also play a role in both damage and recovery.
