Beginner Anavar Cycle Example (12 weeks total cycle time)[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
Weeks 1-12:
– Testosterone Enanthate at 250 – 500mg/week
Weeks 1-8:
– Anavar at 80 – 120mg/day
#1 – Vascularity
Oxandrolone will make you veiny as all hell. And quickly. Look out for brand new bulging forearms veins by around day 6. If you are following a cutting regimen, expect new spider webs in your chest, shoulders and quads by around day 21.
#2 – Pumps
When on var, the pumps are constant. Bored sitting in class/at work? Do some unweighted calf raises. After about three minutes, your calves will be ready to pop. Youll be doing something like drinking a cup of water, and after a minute of holding it, your biceps will be completely full and pumped. You may have to cut some sets short in the gym due to the painful pumpage.
#3 – Strength
Even when cutting, you can expect new strength gains every workout after about day 14-21.
#4 – Fat Loss
Anavar has been shown to contribute to accelerated fat loss in both subcutaneous and visceral fat, concentrated effects in the abdomen and thigh area. And if you’ve used the drug, you can attest to this…if you cant sport the 6-8 pack look on var, its not gonna happen .
CYCLE
Anavar should be run @ at least 80mg a day to see all of the benefits it offers. Dosages upwards of 140mg have been shown to exhibit diminishing returns.
LIVER PROTECTION
Anavar is a 17 Alpha Alkylated steroid , and is toxic. It has been shown to be less toxic than other orals, and is even used as liver treatment for recovering alcoholics. Still, i would limit my time using it to 8 weeks, 10 at the most.
It would be beneficial to your liver to use several different OTC supplements during, and perhaps after your cycle. A few preventive measures never hurt anyone .
1 – Milk Thistle
The classic liver protectant herb.supposedly works by blocking the entrance of harmful substances to liver cells, and hastening their expulsion. Make sure there is a high standardization of Silymarin
2 – R ALA
A powerful antioxidant
3 – NAC
Supports liver function and production of l-glutathione
4 – Vitamin C and E
Antioxidants
5 – LOADS of water
Helps to flush out your entire system
LIPID PROTECTION
Anavar isn’t going to kill your cholesterol levels like some drugs (winny being one of the worst), but it may put your LDL/HDL profiles outside of the normal range. There are a few things that help, but as long as your not using 60+mg daily or running it for more than 10 weeks, i would just use flax…
1 – Flax Oil
Consuming lots of essential fatty acids promotes overall health, as well as helping to keep your lipid profile from becoming too bad.
2 – Policosanol
Used at 20mg daily to keep your HDL (good cholesterol) levels from crashing, and your LDL from becoming too high.
3 – Niacin
Preferably the flush free variety. If you wish, niacin can be used at 1-2g ED for a short period post-cycle to normalize HDL levels. Do not use for more than 7-14 days, as liver toxicity can be an issue when using those dosages of niacin for long periods of time.
FAQ!
What is the highest recommended dose for bodybuilding purposes?
The consensus is that anything over 80mg shows extreme diminishing returns.
Does oxandrolone suppress your HPTA (natural testosterone production)?
Yes. Research shows as little as 2.5mg can suppress in some folks. As far as the effects of this lowered test production, at 40mg a day.
Is clomid needed post cycle?
Yes. This should be apparent from the above question. You may find that 50mg/day for two weeks is enough however. Nolvadex use is also encouraged.
Cholesterol?
User experience seems to point to the fact that prolonged use does bring your good cholesterol down and your bad cholesterol up. Take your flax seed oil.
“Also, because oral steroids can decrease the “good” HDL cholesterol and increase the “bad” LDL cholesterol, oral steroids can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). If you use oral anabolic steroids consider taking 400 to 800 IU of Vitamin E, and 1,000 to 2,000 mg. of Vitamin C with each meal. These vitamin antioxidants help to protect cholesterol from the oxidation that is associated with CVD.”
(Oxandrin May Cause Liver Toxicity, by Michael Mooney (Original article in issue #7, October, 1998. Updated July, 2001)
What about the different brands of Oxandrolone floating around? What to choose?
** “10mg tabs” Street price: ~$.3USD/”tab”
This product must be chewed says the “manufacturer”. This product is under dosed, and of dubious purity and consistency. Lab results on a test done on another board showed the pills to contain a little over 4mg of oxandrolone.
Side effects?
Common side effects you should be prepared for: Appetite loss, stomach discomfort, increase skin “grease”. I personally suffered extreme loss of appetite, but no stomach discomfort. Appetite came back in 1 week.
Rarer side effects: acne
Overall, this is an extremely mild drug. You should experience virtually no side effects. Those you do experience will diminish over time.
As ulster once said “safer then baby food”.
How long before it kicks in?
Individual thing. Varies on product line as well.
I noticed vascularity and hardness within 2-3 days with generics, and strength in 2.5 weeks. Wait about 3 weeks for the full effect before you get disappointed.
Vascularity and hardness will come quick, it’s very nice. Spiderweb veins on your pecs that you’ve never seen before in just 3 days on Ox – “Personal friend, anavar user”
What is this drug used for?
Involuntary weight loss. HIV, AIDS, burns etc. Liver treatment in severe alcohol induced liver damage.
What is the half life of Ox?
~9 hours.
When should ox be dosed?
There are two camps.
Camp 1: Take it all in the morning. The rationale is that your blood concentrations will ‘fall off’ by the time you go to bed, which will limit HPTA impact during this crucial “recentering” time for your body.
Camp 2: Spread it out evenly through the day. This will keep blood concentrations steady. Plus, don’t we want that nice anabolic substance in our veins during our growth at night?
My comments: With a halflife of 9 hours, this issue is virtually meaningless. The ideas used in “camp 1″ apply well when you have a substance with a 3 hour halflife (dbol ), (e.g. if 30mg of dbol is taken at 9am, only about 1 miligram is left in your bloodstream by bedtime. great.) I don’t think things pan out so well with a 9 hour halflife drug. If 40mg is taken at 9am, at bedtime you will have approximately 10mg or more in your bloodstream. You would have about 15 at bedtime if you took it 4 times evenly through the day. I don’t think you are giving your body any drop off at night anyway.
Conclusion: Take it whenever you want. Choose the camp you agree with and do it, things will work out.
What gains can I expect?
Individual question. I’ve heard of folks with no gain in lbs, I’ve heard of a 15lb gain. It all depends on your diet, brand, etc. However, don’t expect this to pack 3 times the punch of a sust/dbol cycle because it costs 3 times as much. .
This question is actually pretty silly, so I won’t delve into it.
You CAN expect hardness and vascularity.
How about doses for women?
Have a look at the sample anavar cycle. Women do not need large dosages to see results.
How long is a typical Oxandrolone cycle?
Most tend to agree longer is better with Ox. 6 weeks seems to be the minimum, while 10 weeks is recommended and common. Over 10 weeks might be stressful on the liver.
