a friend of mine did an anavar only cycle, but also used other supplements that he takes on a regular basis, (protein, creatine, glutamine, etc., etc.). Anyways, he very solid gains. Only about 5 pounds of muscle, but he is a powerlifter and his strength went up, and thats what he was looking for. I think oxandralone is overlooked by the majority of men and thought of as a strictly womans drug, however it can be very effective if you are trying to stay within a certain weight class, etc. Also, he hasnt lost any strength, 3 weeks after he finished.
