Anavar drying out joints like Anavar?? HUH?

[fossilfuel7]

Have you guys heard of Anavar drying out some one's joints like Winstrol??

I have heard of Anavar being faked with Winstrol but, my friend says that a BB he knows used Anavar and that he thought it dried him out and made him stiff.

That does not sound like Anavar at all which is why I am asking.

Anavar is supposed to strengthen joints if anything....or so I thought.
Plus I was about to start a cycle in a few weeks but, now I'm kind of concerned.

I have never had joint issues with Anavar. What dosage was your friend using?

The guy was using 40mg per day. I think he must have been using other gear or was just full of crap.

I dont know, unless he was pushing himself too hard while on cycle. Hard to tell, but I wouldnt associate it with the Var, especially at that dosage.

Nor would you. Anavar will boost collagen synthesis and should improve connective tissue strength and even repair some previous damage. It has nothing to do with holding water in your joints as you may have heard. It has to do with the bump in progesterone you get from Anavar, which is the hormone that controls collagen synthesis. Non 5-alpha reduced steroids like Winstrol will create DHT in your body and that will block the uptake of progesterone, leading to a slow down, or at high enough dosages a shut down of collagen synthesis. That's why people complain of joint pain, and can risk doing damage while on Winstrol.

40mg/day is like the minimum dose of Anavar too. I'd consider 40-50mg/day minimum. Plenty of guys take up to 80 without issues, and even 100 is not unheard of. Beyond that there is no gain, which is why you'll never see or hear anyone doing more than that; it has nothing to do with side effects. Though you are obviously straining your liver at a dosage like that, remember Anavar is reputedly easier on your liver, but it is still a 17aa (hepatoxic).

Dude, again with this stuff? Winstrol IS 5a-reduced. It doesn't increase DHT in in the body. And you're the only person I've seen claim that Anavar increases progesterone, and that progesterone is some miracle hormone for your joints. Where are you getting this info?

Check out the info and sources if you like.

Winstrol is indeed 5 alpha reduced, as mentioned. However, it still acts as a progesterone antagonist, effectively mimicking the effect free DHT has in the body. The method is different, but the result is the same; decreased progesterone. I was simply never clear on the method, but have since researched further. My apologies for the unintentional dissemination of misinformation.

I got some "Anavar" my source. I took 80mg/ed for 6 weeks. I got lean but my joints were so sore and stiff I thought I needed knee replacements. From what I'm reading Anavar should never make your joints feel like that? Then it seems I got wrong stuff from my source.

From what I understand Anavar is often faked with winny.
