    Any oral cycle is a waste as you wont hold on to your gains. Tes must always be used as the basis of any cycle.

    BB is right on! And var only cycles are for women(4-real... Not being a d*ck... But as BB stated test should be the base of any cycle... And I've had great results w/Test/primo and Var for cutting...

    It's used for women in anavar only cycles as its mild and women have to worry more about aromatization(hence no test)...

    I agree with both the above but will also say IMHO anavar *****.. I DONT advise this if your knew to AAS but Tren worked better then anything else ever did for toning me down , melting away body fat and giving that shredded look. For me anavar even at 100mg Ed had no effect. Now this is only one mans .02 and personal experience. We are all different.

    Oh come on, all guys are up front about that stuff arent they? Hmm well with all the guys I know I dont know any that have admitted to ED or having a rx for Cialis or Viagra but yet they are one of the biggest rx prescribed in the US if not the world. How does that work if no one needs it???

    Cartman has devised a plan to brainwash all of the citizens of Southpark by bombarding them with media ads about ed which will in turn cause then all to go out and buy it from the internet.

    Anavar only cycles for men are pretty much useless and a waste of money, unless you're trying to give yourself a limp dick, depression and very little gains

    Testosterone should always be a base for any steroid cycle and others can be added to that.

    If thats the case with anavar only then i guess u wouldnt recover good with test or more harsh compounds like tren or deca for instance

    I love to read and am always learning,and to be honest some arguments are just invalid,for instance am sure that anavar wont yield too much gains but that doesnt mean that it useless,if someone is having a hard time from recovering from an anavar only cycle for few weeks i really doubt that he will end better with say a long test deca cycle or test tren cycle 10 weeks and more,yes shut down is shutdown but u wont be the same shut on a long cycle vs a short cycle or for instance if using strong suppressive compounds vs mild ones,test inclusion in a cycle is to mimick the actions of testosterone for ex having gd libido,suppose if someone is not having his gf for say few weeks then is test necessary???? And thats when am assuming that test production will b 100 percent shutdown on an anavar cycle ,from my point of view if someone is not looking for strong gains and wouldnt mind having slight decrease in libido while on anavar isnt a very bad choice ,my post here was to hear from first hand experiences and not just parroting talk from other users plus most of the cases where gains werent obvious on anavar only the gear was bunk or the one using it had a high bodyfat to start with

    Not getting into the whole anavar only debate, enough has been said already.

    But, here's my .02. I did a test only cycle and then down the road I thought I knew better than everyone and did a test with anavar cycle. For the price of the anavar alone I could hve done 2 or 3 more test cycles. It made my get horiffic back and chest acne which I never got on test only and as far as I could tell, my results didn't improve more than they would have without it. I was taking 80mg a day.

    Closing - save your money and spend it on food or a test only cycle done proper.

    IDK - Just in my experience Test doesn't do that to me(knock on wood) but Anavar still did make my skin oily as fvk(but I am Italian so I'm greasy already)...lol... Use micro scrubs and alcohol for preventative measures... It's worked for me but may not work for everyone... But I always use some kind of exfoliation on my body and have had good results(as in not having bacne or other acne probs...

    Yeah... Some people are just more prone to it(genetics)... Like male pattern baldness, I would think its dependent on one's genes...

    My first cycle was on anavar 40 mg ED, I never gain too much muscle but I lose a ton of fat and I look very lean (and small ) after but anavar is really bad for gain muscle, use test by itself; you will feel the difference increase of your strength in the second week

    I have not tried an anavar only cycle but last August I did take anavar for four weeks while on 200mg of test just to see if it would help get me leaner. It did that I was already dieting and do 45 minutes daily and when I added it in my body made a distinct change. I was in my best shape in years but my joints did start to hurt really bad, my libido was great while on. The joints got better quickly after stopping the anavar but my libido hit rock bottom not to soon after. With it have that effect on my libido with my trt dose test there is no way I would try it with none at all.

    So you love to read, work on comprehension. Why do you ask questions, you think you know everything?

    I am asking questions to have answers and hear about member experiences who ran anavar alone not just some parrot talks without before hand experiences

    Test wasn't the reason I got acne. I was on TRTalmost 2 years prior to the anavar being bumped in on a blast and I also did a test only blast before the one with Anavar.

    All bodies react different. I was telling you my results, you can and will do whatever you choose I am sure. I did, even though others recommended different. I would have had no issues with the bad acne if the var made a huge difference but it didn't.

    Problems with Anavar :

    - It's often fake.
    - It's very, very hard to find real/quality Anavar.
    - It's for women. No, seriously. Like others have said, it works well with women. They can take 10mg/day for 6-weeks and have a great cycle.
    - For men, we'd have to take dosages MUCH MUCH higher.
    - High dosages for men make Anavar VERY expensive.

    With that in mind, I can't imagine why any male would want to run an Anavar only cycle. Though not an aas, for around the same money I'd run HGH and get similar if not better results. If I were independently wealthy, I would probably try running some some Anavar (along with test, hcg , and hgh) on a cutting/leaning cycle. But if you can afford all that, then you aren't going to run just Anavar, but that's a whole 'nother discussion. So IMO for men, Anavar-only cycle is pointless and you are pissing away money and time.

    That's the exact cutter I'm about to start (Prop, Var, HGH, T3 and HCG ). I personally would never run anything including var without a test base. I think you're just asking for trouble (as well as an empty pocket). :/

    Those aren't bad points you bring up and they certainly do apply in today's current market. Oh......var is usually replaced with Winnie as another one to add to the list. Var remains attractive because back in the day it was fairly easy to source, dosed properly and you could do well at 40 mgs a day. Hgh isn't a direct alternative as it is very expensive, must be cycled for long periods and its muscle building qualities are slow compared to AAS. Furthermore to really see its effects one needs to blast and cruise and run there hgh on the high side. I am not advocating this just speaking from experience.
