Last October, my roomate started an Anavar only cycle (Novla as PCT) at 50mg per day for 2 months (8 weeks). He was only 20-years-old (now he's 21) and this was his first cycle and he is an experienced lifter. Prior to his cycle, he weighed 210lbs and his body fat percentage was ~16%. At the end of this cycle his lifts were impressively higher and his vascularity increased noticably and he put on approximately 7lbs of lean mass.
To my surprise, he has kept most of his gains months after the end of his cycle.
Because he is so young, he did not want to harm his HPTA, so he decided to run anavar only because it has a mild effect on HPTA compared to most AAS. He did not take any test because test will certainly shut down your natural test production and is harmful to your HPTA whereas anavar suppresses your natural test production but will not fully shut down test production and has milder effects on HPTA.
Most of you would suggest that running anavar without a test base is a horrible idea, because it will "shut down" your natural test production. However, he told me that he did not suffer any noticable side effects of natural test shut down, such as decrease libido, lethargy, depression, etc. He felt fine while on his cycle. Unfortunately he did not get any blood work done which would have been interesting to view to accurately determine how hs test levels were effected.
Is this normal for an anavar only cycle? I have been a long-time lurker and made an account today to post this, because I have read countless threads where people have asked about anavar only cycles and they get smashed and people convince them that their test production will shut down completely and that they will see zero gains. Has anyone else done an anavar-only cycle and hasexperienced something similar this? Or perhaps the complete opposite?
