anavar cycle

anavar cycle is the original brand name of the androgen and anabolic steroid Oxandrolone. This is one of the most well known steroids in existence and Anavar cycle has been a favorite amongst bodybuilders and athletes for decades.anavar cycle

There are many reasons for the popularity of Anavar:

• Anavar is an oral steroid so it’s easy to administer
• It can be used by both males and females
• It has minimal side effects compared with many other steroids

Most importantly, Anavar has exceptional benefits for people who know exactly what they’re using it for; and almost all of the time this is for the purpose of improving the physique through fat loss while retaining muscle mass, and for enhancing performance.

What is Anavar (Oxandrolone)?

Anavar is fast acting steroid derived from DHT (dihydrotestosterone) with a half life of just 8 to 10 hours. It has been a widely used, respected and very popular steroid for a long time and is one of the few that can also be used by females because of its mild androgenic effects.anavar cycle

While Anavar is mildly toxic to the liver, as we would expect with an oral steroid, its hepatotoxicity level is minimal compared with many other steroids, making this an ideal choice for beginners.

When looking to purchase Anavar you are not likely to find it listed or labelled using that name on any current formulations; instead it goes by the chemical name Oxandrolone. Despite this, the name Anavar is still commonly used to describe this compound.anavar cycle

Anavar has a powerful anabolic rating, yet at the same time is not a steroid that is as effective for bulking for men as other steroids are. While it can contribute to bulking with high quality weight gain with no water retention, Anavar is most powerful for use as a cutting steroid as well as for enhancing athletic performance.

Women who use Anavar will however find that it can add impressive lean muscle gains to the physique and this is the main anabolic steroid that is suitable for women to use for this purpose.anavar cycle

Anavar Benefits

Anavar is not a useful bulking steroid and as such, is rarely used for this purpose as there are countless other steroids with significantly more potent mass building ability than Anavar which would need to be consumed in very high and unsafe doses to achieve serious mass gains.anavar cycle

The main active benefits and effects of Anavar include:

• Increases Nitrogen Retention in the Muscle – This is a prime function of Anavar and it is critical in keeping the body in an optimal anabolic state. The outcome of this is what Anavar is so well known for: retaining muscle mass while you’re cutting fat by preventing the body from going into a catabolic state where muscle tissue is lost, as is the case when nitrogen balance becomes negative.anavar cycle
• Decreases SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) – SHBG naturally binds to estrogens and androgens, and with Anavar decreasing this protein it results in more free testosterone being available which gives a boost not only to your overall anabolic environment but also to any other steroids you’re using. While Anavar has mild natural testosterone suppression effects, it rarely fully suppresses or even suppresses half natural levels, so the decrease in SHBG is still highly beneficial regardless of what your testosterone levels are when using this steroid.anavar cycle
• Inhibits Muscle Wasting Hormones – This is the original medical purpose of Anavar in the area of preventing and reversing muscle wasting. For bodybuilders, Anavar’s ability to inhibit hormones like cortisol results in reduced tendency to gain body fat and increased ability to retain lean muscle gains.
• Increases Red Blood Cells – As a treatment for anemia, Anavar has a very useful effect on red blood cell count which brings about heightened endurance by transporting more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles during exercise. This not only has a performance enhancing effect, but a physically appealing one as well with more oxygen and blood being carried through the veins resulting in enhanced vascularity.anavar cycle
• Enhances Metabolic Rate and Lipolysis – This makes Anavar an extremely powerful fat burning steroid where calories and stored body fat are efficiently utilized as energy.

Anavar is a steroid that is most frequently used in cutting cycles because of its powerful effect on fat burning and metabolic activity, ultimately helping you obtain a lean, hard and ripped physique.anavar cycle

How to Take Anavar?

Anavar is an oral steroid so there are no injections to concern yourself with. It is produced and sold under various brand names, but always with the chemical name Oxandrolone.anavar cycle

When buying Anavar, it’s critical to be sure you are getting both the real thing, and that it is of safe and high quality; checking your sources before purchasing is essential. Anavar is quite an expensive steroid and is usually priced from $1 to $2 per 10mg tablet.anavar cycle

When prescribed medically, Anavar is advised to be taken with food or milk to avoid digestive issues. Depending on your dosage, it’s possible to take Oxandrolone anywhere from one to four times daily. This steroid has a short half life so taking it at least once daily is a bare minimum to retain the effects.anavar cycle

Anavar Dosage

The right Anavar dosage for you depends on two things: your gender and your goals. As we’ll see, females can use and tolerate Anavar very well with excellent results at a very low dose. Males obviously require a higher dosage, but you should not make the mistake of boosting your dose of Anavar to extreme levels.

This is not a powerful bulking steroid and as such, there’s no benefit in taking very high doses; not only will it not improve results, but will come with increased risk of side effects and ultimately be a waste of money as this is not the lowest cost steroid around. Let’s take a look at the more common dosages Anavar is used at: anavar cycle

Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Anavar Dosage

In general, your experience level won’t greatly determine what dosage of Anavar you should use because it’s a well-tolerated steroid by most men.anavar cycle

Beginners might consider starting at just 30mg daily, but be aware that this low of a dose may have little noticeable effect in some people. A better starting point for a beginner is 50mg daily for a cutting cycle.anavar cycle

Intermediate male Anavar users can increase dosage to 50mg to 80mg daily and expect excellent results when your diet and workouts are maintained to a high level for the goal of getting lean.anavar cycle

The most advanced users can push the Anavar dosage to 100mg daily but this is considered at the upper end with no benefit in higher amounts.

Rather than increasing Anavar to higher doses for diminishing returns, almost all male users will greatly benefit from using Anavar in a stack with more powerful steroids and not as a sole steroid in a cycle.anavar cycle

Female Anavar Dosage

As you would expect, Anavar’s effects are going to be considerably more powerful to the female body in much lower doses than those that men consume. A dosage of just 10mg daily for women will prove highly effective for both cutting and gaining mass.anavar cycle

At this dose, body fat will be lost, muscle retained and gained, and a noticeable improvement in physique will be achieved with visible hardness and a highly toned body compared to before starting a cycle. Maintaining a 10mg daily dose minimizes risks of masculinization side effects occurring.anavar cycle

Anavar Cycles

The Anavar cycle length is usually set at about 8 weeks for males, and no more than 6 weeks for females. Men who are using Anavar in a cycle stack will usually run Anavar for the first (6 weeks) 8 weeks while continuing on with other steroids for another 4 to 6 weeks, depending which compounds are used.

Even though it’s possible to use Anavar for 10 weeks or even longer and this is a common consideration due to Anavar’s relatively mild side effects on the body, extending to this length of time increases risks of liver damage therefore 8 weeks is advised as the maximum safe cycle length for Oxandrolone.anavar cycle

Anavar Only Cycle

Because of the relatively high testosterone suppression that Oxandrolone causes in dosages used for bodybuilding, it’s always recommended that at the very least Anavar is stacked with Testosterone when men are using this steroid.anavar cycle

This is obviously not a concern for women who can proceed with an Anavar only cycle at the recommended 10mg daily dose. Most cycles will utilize testosterone past the 8-week Anavar cycle length, extending to 12 weeks with testosterone before beginning post cycle therapy.

Anavar will probably not suppress you at a dosage of around 50-60mg/day for 4 weeks (I’ll do at least 6-8 weeks cycle myself). A small and steady dosage throughout the day (20mg/20mg/20mg) is what gives me the better results!

For PCT just use 50mg/day Clomid for 3 weeks and you should recover quick. Start your Clomid PCT 5 days post cycle.

Beginner Anavar Cycles

A beginner can safely run an 8 week cycle (the maximum recommended length) at a dosage of 30-50mg daily. Even as a beginner it’s always beneficial and advisable to combine a testosterone compound for the entire duration of the cycle, as well as for several weeks following the end of Anavar use to avoid the adverse effects of low testosterone production.anavar cycle

Testosterone Enanthate is a long lasting ester which can be used for a 12 week cycle alongside Anavar. Your testosterone cycle dosage will depend on your personal goals, and how much muscle mass you’re looking to build; a 100mg minimum is suitable for testosterone maintenance purposes, and this can be extended right up to 500mg during the cycle if building some muscle mass is a goal.

Anavar / Clenbuterol / Testosterone Cycle

The following Anavar cycle can be used by any man, as Anavar is one of the mildest anabolic steroids on earth:

• Week 1-12 – 100mg/eod Testosterone Propionate
• Week 1-12 – Clenbuterol at 40mcg/ed week 1-2, 60mcg/ed week 3-4, 80mcg/ed week 5-6, 100mcg/ed week 7-8, 120mcg/ed week 9-10, 140mcg/ed week 11-12
• Week 5-12 – 50mg/ed Anavar
• Week 1-12 (optional) – 4iu/ed HGH; 0,5mg/eod Arimidex

Popular Anavar stack for beginners

• Week 1-8 – 400mg/week Testosterone Cypionate
• Week 9-12 – 100mg/eod Testosterone Propionate
• Week 1-12 – Clenbuterol at 40mcg/ed week 1-2, 60mcg/ed week 3-4, 80mcg/ed week 5-6, 100mcg/ed week 7-8, 120mcg/ed week 9-10, 140mcg/ed week 11-12
• Week 5-12 – 50mg/ed Anavar
• Week 1-12 – 0,5mg/eod Letrozole

*ed – every day
*eod – every other day

Intermediate Anavar Cycles

More experienced users of Anavar often extend to the 50-70mg daily dose while sticking to an 8 week cycle. A testosterone ester should also be included in an intermediate cycle, and again the dosage will depend on what you’re trying to achieve and whether this is a hardcore cutting cycle.anavar cycle

100mg weekly for 12 weeks of testosterone enanthate is enough to support normal function of the hormone while natural levels are suppressed by Anavar. By limiting testosterone in this cycle, Anavar is left to take on the primary anabolic role, bringing about lean gains as well as incredible fat loss and toning throughout the cycle.anavar cycle
