Anavar Cycle and Cycles

You can have a safe and effective bodybuilding experience with an Anavar cycle. Women and novices generally opt for an Anavar cycle because this drug is considered as one of the mildest anabolic-androgenic steroids around.

Among Anavar’s clinical applications is its use in treatment of children suffering from severe burns which confirms that this drug is very mild in nature. In one clinical study involving 51 burned children in Shriners Hospitals for Children in Texas, it was found out that use of oxandrolone coupled with exercise had significantly increased muscle mass and strength gains, hastening the rehabilitation of the pediatric patients. Oxandrolone is the generic compound of Anavar.  

 As a bodybuilding agent, Anavar is described as mildly anabolic and low androgenic steroid. This means that an Anavar cycle exerts minimal effects on your body’s HPTA and, if used in short-term cycles, suppression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is easily avoidable.  This is the most ideal scenario for any bodybuilder since this means that you will be able to keep the gains after an Anavar cycle.

During an Anavar cycle, an anti-estrogen or aromatase inhibitor is rarely required because this steroid is DHT-derived. DHT-derived steroids do not convert to estrogen and, as such, you rarely experience estrogenic side effects. These side effects are mostly feminization symptoms like subcutaneous water and fat retention and gynecomastia. Because of this drug’s inherent characteristic, it is not highly recommended for bulking phases wherein muscle mass is the primary goal.

During cutting phase, you can use Anavar along with Primobolan for a harder looking physique. Primobolan is yet another favorite pre-contest drug since like Anavar it does not aromatize. The downside with an Anavar-Primo cycle is cost since both of these compounds come with pricey tags.

If you prefer to use Anavar during your bulking cycle it is best to stack it with reliable bulking compounds like Dianabol or testosterone. The result with such a cycle is a much improved gain in strength and a more defined bulk.

The recommended Anavar intake is 20-40mg per day for males. For women, a dosage of 10-15 mg per day is enough for significant muscle growth. Although Anavar is described as the ‘gentlest of steroids’ it can still cause side effects particularly on liver because it is an 17 alpha-alkylated oral. As such, you are advised against taking larger-than-recommended doses of Anavar.

The minor side effects when on Anavar cycle include nausea, loss of sleep, and changes in sexual interest.

The primary complaint with Anavar cycle is the high cost (as mentioned before), which is due to this drug’s low availability. Generally, you have to pay $2-$4 for each Anavar tablet.

Anavar has an active life of 8-12 hours and a detection time of 3 weeks.
