50 mg of anavar is like how many mg of testosterone? I know this is not apples to apples, but I have no reference point as to how much 50 mg/week of Anavar is in regards to expected benefits/results/gains. I've done test E/C/P, Sustanon, Deca, DHB, and EQ, so that's what I have to compare to. thanks guys
You’re right, it’s not apples to apples.
It’s like apples to kitchen table. They’re nothing even remotely alike, so any comparison is purely speculative based on weird math that has no basis in reality.
After posting this I read that anavar is around 6 times more anabolic than testosterone, but less androgenic. If I take that face value, 50 mg of Anavar = 300 mg testosterone. I guess I'll find out either way, just wanted to see other's perspectives.
the math does not quite work that way .. its missing key components. "anabolic" is only ONE aspect of muscle growth and physiological effects . for example Test converts to estrogen , Anavar does not . and estrogen has its own secondary muscle growth properties like increase in IGF and HGH.. test also can provide some inter cellular water retention which does help with growth. and the androgenic effects help you store more glycogen in muscle cells .Quote:

I guess that's why anavar is often used as a cutting drug... I have a friend who used to run just anavar cycles and get pretty jacked. Who knows if it was really anavar though.Quote:

Hmm ok. What do you feel on it and how quickly do you feel it? I added 50 mg last week but I don’t want to overdo it if I don’t need to.Quote:

LOL, that's why I feel 20mg to 30mg is a max dose for me with pharma var. Calf raises are intensely brutal as are shrugs and hyperextensions @ higher doses.Quote:

I used 30mg qd last summer & didn't notice much....50mg qd seems to be putting me over the threshold for me. Just going to run this for 4 weeks, then drop the Anavar & just maintain with my current cruise.
Good luck, man. I've only done that high of pharma dosage once and even splitting it b.i.d it was too much, lol.Quote:

What does b.i.d. stand for?Quote:
