Anavar vs dbol

[yeahbuddy289]

Planning my next cycle and am trying to chose between anavar and dbol . I will be using test. enanthate at 600mg a week as my base and running an AI such as letro or arimidex in low doses. Goal for this cycle is to put on 20lbs and keep my body fat around 10% (currently sitting at 12%). Will I make decent strength and lean mass gains on var? Or given the fact I am naturally a bit leaner and dont hold much water would dbol be a better choice for helping me reach my mass goal? And how does anavar compare to dbol in terms of stress on the liver and strenght gains?

What you keep will be mainly determined by diet, but you will not gain 20lbs of LBM

If you experience large flucation in weight then this is water not LBM,

12months and 2-3 cycles is a more realistic timeframe for 20lbs of LBM

Good point... I was thinking on cycle weight gain.... After PCT I would be happy to keep 10-12lbs.

dbol n var are kinda opposites. they both up strength but dbol is a mass gainer plate breaker n kick starter where i consider var a fat burner hardener n cutter at the end of a cycle.

Steroids like oxandrolone not only build muscle mass, they also break down body fat. One problem with the former effect is that much of the muscle mass that has been built up disappears once the athlete stops taking oxandrolone. According to research done in 2004 at the University of Southern California, the fat loss effect of oxandrolone does not have this drawback.


Early in the 21st century American endocrinologists, financed partly by the government and partly by oxandrolone manufacturer Savient, studied the effects of modest doses of oxandrolone on elderly men. The researchers wanted to establish how effective and safe oxandrolone really is. Although the study involved non-active men who were above 60, it did produce information that is interesting for chemical athletes.

The study showed that men gain muscle mass and lose fat mass if they take oxandrolone for 12 weeks, but also that 12 weeks further on the muscles built up have disappeared again. But the fat that was lost stays away. Most of the benefit of a course of oxandrolone is derived in the first six weeks of the course. So the researchers are in favour of short six-week courses of oxandrolone.

The study that is the subject of this article looks in more depth at the value of oxandrolone as a slimming aid. The men lost 1.8 kg fat during a 12-week course of oxandrolone, where the daily dose was 20 mg.

VAT = abdominal fat; SAT = subcutaneous fat; P thigh = fat on the hips; D thigh = fat on the upper legs, above the knee; P IMF = intramuscular fat in the trunk; D IMF = intramuscular fat in the arm and leg muscles.





The table below shows how much of the fat had returned 12 weeks after the oxandrolone course had finished: less than 17 percent. That means that 83 percent of the weight lost stayed off.



So maybe oxandrolone has more potential as a diet drug than as a muscle builder, the researchers sigh [forgetting that a 2-kg fat loss over a 12 week period is perfectly possible without taking steroids].

The more fat the men had lost, the lower their insulin level before a meal. This is a positive sign. A low pre-meal insulin level means that you are sensitive to insulin, and is associated with fewer inflammatory processes.

technically all AAS help burn fat, bust anvar does more so than others
