    Can someone inform me on ANAVAR?

    So I understand it's an oral steroid that's very expensive in relation to most others. It increases the free test in your body and it's not that potent but there are very few sides associated with it? Just wondering if you can run it alone and what can you expect from it if it's your first cycle

    i ran it alone last year. i did 70mg a day every day for 8 weeks. its mostly used as a cutting steroid so u can lose weight while maintaining muscle mass. i noticed fairly good increase in strength and even a bit of size with it. very low water retention and practically no side effects. pct wasnt even that bad.

    DId you just run a normal PCT? like you would with any regular test stack? also what kind of gains can you expect if you're just running ANAVAR ?

    i just did a normal pct of nolva 40/40/20/20. as far as bulking u wouldnt normally see this with a bulking stack cause it really does help as far as cutting down overall fat while keeping solid muscle. as far as my gains since i was losing weight, in that 8 week time i dropped 15 pounds, but my bench went up 15lbs for reps, deadlift went up 50, squat went up 50, and military went up 20.

    what MR-FQ said is true. if you are really thinking about AAS start with test cause that is the base for all stacks and steroids . then if u want later you can throw in some orals.

    You are too young, my friend. Even with a mild AAS like Var, 21 is much too young to be considering the use of any AAS.

    Many believe that Anavar is basically side effect free but this is simply NOT the case. You may not see water weight but as all orals go, it is toxic to the liver and has a dramatic effect in your lipid profile. I would use an injectable Test as a first cycle.

    Mixed advice here. 21 is a little too young. I would give it a couple years yet as i sense you are a recreational bodybuilder so time isn't an issue.

    Anavar isn't side effect free, of course it isn't, but testosterone is in a different league when it comes to side effects so don't be bullied into thinking that because many say it is a beginners cycle, that it isn't a harsh compound, because it is.

    Everyday there is new post about anavar only cycles, for real??? Use the search bar. Var alone imo is a waste, you risk not being able to get it up cuz it will suppress your natural test production. All aas have "potential" side effects. At 22 it could create a permanent problem with your ability to produce test naturally. Put you idea on temp hold. Do more research about aas, diet, training, and sleep. Theres a right & wrong way.... Var only = wrong way

    I have friends who take Anavar by itself and have made fantastic gains. Lean gains are lean gains, no matter how they are made.

    I'm not saying don't take any test but people need to stop parroting false information.

    No one is saying you cant make gains with var alone. Its just that little willy may not perform as expected.

    Not really , 25 is the recomended age to begin AAS. At 22 you are still growing naturally, good clean diet will see you develop naturally anyway.

    How much do you weigh and waht is your bodyfat %, if you doint know post some pics up for other members to estimate.

    Also post your diet up, I bet its not as good as you think it is, let the guys sort it out for you.

    Diet is 30 % of bodybuilding, 30%weights, 30%rest/sleep and maybe 10% tops AAS, AAS is the icing on the cake.

    You need to make sure all the big three hitters are correctly addressed and practised before you start AAS ( and wait at least a couple more years yet ).

    How do you know? he could well have finished growing and epiphyseal fusion and full maturity of his endocrine systen could easily have occured a few years ago, without the relevant tests or least a clue as to the OP's ethnicity you are just guessing.
