Anavar is very low in masculinising effects and is good for increasing strength and not bodyweight. Anavar is supposed to increase creatine phosphate levels in the muscle and this increases the amount of work the muscle can do before becoming exhausted. Some users of this compound get little effect from Var even from high doses (30mg a day). Most users do quite well, but mainly when stacking Var with other good injectables.
Var works well when used in conjunction with highly androgenic compounds (Nandrolones, Tests. Incresed protein intake is advised when taking Var as you can actually get smaller due to the compound increasing need for amino acids (protein) and this can result in cannibalising other muscle tissue to obtain the ammino's.
Var is very low in liver toxicity and other bad sides. Users of Var on high doses can get high total cholesterole values and extremely low HDL ( good cholesterole). Var seems to do this more than other orals, so it would be sensible to keep your diet low in saturated fats when using Var.
Beacuse of it's chemical structure var doesn't aromatise. It's popular with women and powerlifters. Normal dose for women is 1-4 tabs a day and males 4-20 (average is 8).
Var is not good for putting on size but is good for strength and recovery. Var is very low in androgens and is extremely sae to use.
Men should not use Var on its own. It wil cause natural test to drop, wich will cause a decrease in sex drive, loss of size and posiibly bitch tits as Var is low in androgens. The male body needs a high level of androgens to function normaly.
Var is one of three orals that are OK for female athletes to usewith out worrying too much about the masculinising effects. When stacked with a good Test and Anapolin (very toxic) the strength gains are almost unbeleivable.

I hope this helps a few people out as I have noticed a lot of people asking about Var.
