Would Anavar be ideal for the over 40 crowd?

Looking for commentary pertaining to the use of Anavar for the over 40 generation. With suppression and aromatization issues being more acute with the older generation athletes wouldn't it make sense that a short cycle of Anavar due to it's low androgenic properties, non-aromatization and low suppression characteristics be a safe choice. Would any of the experts shed some light on this hypothesis.

Thanks
 
I'd say you are thinking very wisely ;)

Although Anavar (var) is considered to be somewhat mild in terms of hepatotoxicity...I'd suggest liver supps just in case for preventative measure. ;)

Thanks much for the reply and the additional suggestions. Is there is anybody in this age category who have gone this route and would like to share their experiences?
 
Depending on how you use it I wouldn't put too much faith in the old wives tale about it not causing much supression.

I suppose if that's a major concern you could take 40mg/day all at once, in the morning when you awake.
 
It'll suppress you, if you don't want that I'd say go 15-25mg, but I'd lean more toward 15-20mg ed.

Anavar can be a good choise only if have a good lipid profile!AAs wich don't aromatise lower your hdl chol.Primobolan depot at 200mgEW,don't suppress your own test.Andriol and/or Proviron also,In my country were primary used to help older people,Anavar BTW have a better anabolic potency.I would use Primobolan depot(200mgEW) and Andriol/proviron(4-6capsED/50mgED)as base and add Anavar whene you need hardness and fat loss.
 
A guy I train with is 39 and he started an anavar/test cycle a few weeks ago and is loving it. I'll ask him if he has had any bloodwork done next time I run into him at the gym.
 
Actually over 40's would do better with test. They are only producing 35% of what they were in their early 20's and they NEED the test. Suppression is going to occur in someone that age regardless of which AS they use and just from an overall health standpoint they'd do better with the test.

Are there really guys 40+ using AAS??
 
Most feedback from the over 40s ascertains that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the few alternatives available to them. The drawback seems to be that once you start you're going to depend on your Doc for life. Reading the info on Anavar it seemed to be a possible alternative for one of the older crowd to utilize for a brief cycle without disrupting the "Status Quo" of one's HPTA. However, it's valuable to hear the advice given before haphazardly moving forward with a theory. I know everyone is different and I would conclude that an older individual may become suppressed on Anavar even when all precautions are taken. If that is the case then yes Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) would probably be a better choice.
 
I agree with Ulter.
Test is cheap, effective & doesn't have much impact on plasma lipids when moderate dosages are used.
 
Can someone please explain this argument to me, because it makes zero sense to me:

"I don't want to do Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) because once I start I'll never be able to end; *so I'll just go through the rest of my life with clinically low testosterone and all the health damage it causes*."

To me, it's like saying "I'm not going to take blood pressure medicine because once I do I'll never be able to stop", and then ravaging your body with high blood pressure until you die a premature death.

No argument when testo levels are clinically low. The problem that most of the older generation face when seeking to improve quality of life issues as it pertains to optimal endocrine profiles is the reluctance on the part of many doctors to place someone on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) if their blood readouts are "normal". Normal parameters run a wide spectrum and although one may fall within the range it is quite easily to ascertain that you are not quite feeling up to snuff. The original thought was that there may have been an option (for the 40s low normals) to use Anavar (var) for lets say an occasional lift. The rationale is that one would not supress one's remaining output while garnering some strength and vitality not evident in present state. However, as mentioned in previous posts this option may be nothing more than wishful thinking. It would be interesting to hear some feedback on the 39 year old mentioned in an earlier post and the followup bloodwork.
