Anavar or orals only cycle

[BigZ]

I have a good friend who wants to gain a little muscle, but for personal reasons would prefer to use an oral to help more with recovery instead of sheer mass. He's 6' 3" 230 lbs. probably 8-10% body fat, doesn't want to get too much heavier, possibly only 10 lbs to 240, but he feels he has stagnated. 250 lbs he feels would be too heavy to enjoy playing basketball and other similar sports. He has had a torn biceps so he also has to be careful. My suggestion to him was to run a moderate anavar cycle since it strengthens and hardens, helps with recovery, and it won't overly build mass or make him gain tons of water. Dosage possibly in the 60-80 mg per day range and run it for about 12 weeks, not your typical 4-5 weeks for orals. He understands orals can be hard on the liver, so he'd be prepared to take liver cleansers, milk thistle for protection. He is pretty much natural and has never done a full cycle. Started a cycle a few years ago and quit a couple of weeks into it because he hated the needles.

Any thoughts?

12 weeks might be a little too long to run it.. most cycles I've seen have been 6 to 8 weeks.. also seen many post of anavar only cycles and for men it's not recommended. It will shut them down and have no test. I'm not 100% sure it's true but I would do more research before doing an anavar only cycle being a male

Forgot to mention that he's going to a doc to see if he can get on TRT (he's 35). If he can get it, he'll likely have at least a 100mg/week.

He knows that 12 weeks is long for an oral and some shutdown will occur, but he's familiar with PCT and will be running clomid/nolva and possibly some HCG. Personally, I doubt 60-80mg/day of anavar will do much in terms of shutdown.

If he knows what to expect, and it willing to do what it take it shouldn't be a huge issue. I would have him to use MC Igf-lr3 as well.

I'll suggest that to him as well, thanks!

I'd definitely run igf with it.
