Hi,

27 yo, 5'8", 170lbs ( pls excuse, I have light bones), 15% bf 3+ years of training experience.

I am planning on having an anavar( oxandrolone) only cycle. After reading a lot on anavar and specially the following study
jap.physiology.org/content/96/3/1055.abstract

which was done for 12 weeks on 60+ years olds who did not even train but still gained 3.0+ kgs of lbm and at the same time lost 1.9 kgs just by dosing 20mg of oxandrolone ed.

-I plan on doing 8 weeks of 20-40mg ed anavar cycle
-My goal is to gain 3-5 kgs of lbm in this period while losing fat
-Will take Liv 52 DS as liver support
-Tribulus terrestris + clomid for post cycle therapy (pct) ( I understand anavar is suppressive)
-Diet and training will be upto par of course


What you guys think? any suggetions?
 
Your gonna get a lot of " oral only cycles" should not be done. No one is going to say this is a good idea. Anything you take is going to suppress testosterone production and whatever gains you make will disappear and then some after cycle. TEST IS THE BASE OF ALL CYCLES.

I realize anavar is very mild and will not reek havoc on your system like say a Dbol only cycle would. Really the truth of the matter here is 20-40mg of var isn't going to do anything except waste your money.

I would recommend a test only cycle.

I agree that test might be useful however the study didn't involve anything else other than anavar at 20mg ed.
I have read at many places that anavar gains are quite maintainable with proper PCT and diet+training routine.
 
Test only cycle will be far supperior, your just putting yourself in a hole. Your going to shutdown all your natty test levels, just for some Anavar (var)?

The reason it was good on 60 years olds, is because they had basically no natty test levels in the first place. At 27 your levels are high enough to where 20mg of var is going to be detrimental on your goals.
 
well seems like everyone saying test e is the way to go :-(

no hope for just an oral only (var) cycle like the study suggests?
 
I think the comments about the study i on geriatrics is proly the key to your responses and why you aren't getting the thumbs up on var only. You can read a similar study in a stickie here on 300vs600mg test. See if that helps you some
 
Well, it looks like you got good advice thus far. Anavar only cycle is a terrible idea for numerous reasons that have been stated. Try not to get too hung up on these studies. I take real world experience over a study any day. I mean, have I done cycles without test?? Yes and that is when I was a dumb ass and had no clue what I was doing back in the day. Most of the information on here is years and years of solid steroid knowledge and there is definitely a reason why oral only cycles suck donkey balls. So if you are dead set on running Anavar (var), then run test with it. Personally, I would do a test only first cycle that being if your diet and training are in check.
 
I would you spend all that money for 3kg just work harder in the gym. Ovcpurse it worked for 60 year olds lol have you seen most 60 year old their usually starting to get frail and small. Go on a diet train hard and then a year from now rethink aas. Steroids are not magic if your shit is off its going to give you all the side effects and very little gains. It comes down to this Weather you want to admit it or not your scared to inject and since you are I can tell you right now your not ready for steroids. Good luck man hope you do the right thing

this study was done on OLD MEN whos test was probablly not 1/3 your test levels , how in the hell do you expect the results to be compareable.
 
I want you to do the var only cycle than come back and have all these people tell you that they told you so. Just do it and feel stupid because THERE IS A REASON SO MANY PEOPLE SAY DO TEST AS A BASE.
 
Thank you all for the replies.
So going by the consensus I should do a test e only first cycle. However my GOAL is only 7-8 lbm (I dont mind even 3-4 lbm) with no bloat and cutting my bf% from 14-15% to 10% bf. What should my cycle(with pct) and diet look like?
Am eating below maintenance right now with ~2k cal since am cutting.
Concern- I think am prone to mpb so please adive something safe on hairline.

Having just taking 20 mg of Anavar for 60 days with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose of Test, this is the correct answer. Run it and you'll most likely shut down. I noticed a difference. Var isn't as tame as everyone has you believe.
 
ok brahs and specially DADAWG after all the replies I think the safest cycle on hair would be anavar+very lose test dose(250mg/week) for ok gains. What do you say brahs?

( sorry I am asking this in multiple threads since different people are following each one)
