Anavar... what do you prefer?

ad

Wanted to know how you guys prefer timing the dose of your anavar. That being morning/night split in half, or all at once before lifting?

Also what mg do you find to be your sweet spot and what dose would you recommend for a beginner using it for the first time?

I run var at 50mg daily and about an hour and a half before training with a coffee. Always done all my orals like that

Pure sugar assuming it’ll give a big pump? Maybe add a gda too for pushing the carbs into muscles

Is that like a tablespoon. I don't want to have to start weighing out my honey now. lol

I'll give it a try. My neighbor has an apiary so I get lots of fresh honey from her in exchange for eggs from my chickens.

Anavar has a relatively short half-life so I always like to split my doses up into an AM & PM dose. I believe that males usually do great at 50-60mg/day. I'd stucj with those doses even for a beginner since it is so mild and the sides are also negligible at those doses.

When I take Anavar I usually do 50mg and I take it all right before lifting. I'm curious as well to what would be a better protocol for it but that's what I was told to do when I first got my hands on it!

What else are you doing besides trying to time the Var?

aretegainz's picture

Just Test E 350-400mg/wk (1-12 weeks), will titrate based on bloods 4-5 weeks deep into the cycle. I am most likely going to dose the anavar at 30-50mg/day (6-12 weeks)

I didn't start the cycle yet, won't until around June. Mainly trying to get advice before going into. More detailed description with my background posted in one of the comments below.

There alot of info on this with a quick search. Uve seem to have read up on subq injections enough to argue ur opinion in ur last forum post. Why haven't u researched anavar dosage and timing? Members will not cosign without u doing more research and ur questions will usually reflect from research..

sounds good, I just wanted to know if people prefer splitting into 2 doses/day due to 8-12 hours half life or all at once based on experience that's all. I have researched dose/timing.

Dose seems to vary greatly. I did look into a peer reviewed article showing that 40mg/day seemed to be optimal for strength/lean mass gains for those test subjects. However, I'll see people pushing 80-100mg's/day. I have no intention to do that I really was just looking for feedback based on personal experience, especially with their first time using anavar, maybe what they would have wanted to do differently in retrospect.

Timing seems to either be pre-workout or split 2x/day for more stable plasma concentration levels. Again, wanted to see what people prefer based on their experience, that's all bro.

If no one wants to attempt to answer those questions I'll just figure it out obviously but thought why not go on a forum with people who have experience. I know eroids gets a lot of trolls here along with people who have no fucking clue what they're doing. I see how my post can show that so probably not smart making such a vague post. Again, just looking based on different veteran users experiences

Yes research is correct. Dosage is different w everyone based on quality of product and how well it ut body reacts. Start at lower preferred dose and after strong week adjust.. 80- 100 is too high and not be done by a first timer. Twice a day as half life is 9-10hrs. I try to dose at the beginning of the half life's. This is a finisher, a hardener, so make sure ur liver support, diet, and bodyfat is in check. Be sure orals with food.

Edit... I meant I try to workout at the beginning of the doses half life. Get great pumps and helps me power through my workouts especially being calorie deficit..

appreciate all that feedback. That was my plan, gonna see how 30mg/day works for the first 5-7 days before I make any adjustments. Really don't see myself needing more than 50mg/day. Was planning to split the dose like that but wasn't sure since some people swear by taking their full dose pre wo. Only thing is I train at different times some days so serum concentrations would definitely fluctuate, which I'm trying to avoid.

Diet/cardio has been consistent for the past 4 weeks, down to 189-190 from 202 (calipers have me just under 10% bf... but then again thats calipers ). Not starting my cycle until June. Still at 2500 cals so I know I have room for a little bit more restriction if/when necessary. Liver support is on deck. Basically won't be starting the Var until mid-july so looking forward to see what comes from it.

You'll figure it out my friend, it's not rocket science but what works for me might not work for you.

aretegainz's picture

Hear that bro lol. Just wanted to get insight with past users experiences but you're absolutely right and my personal response will ultimately be the deciding factor

I’ve never ran anavar.... but I’m here for the good feedback that these seasoned vets have to offer so when I do I have a complete understanding of it ....

What is your cycle history?

aretegainz's picture

have it posted in one of the comments below

Bearded_muscle's picture

Gotcha, yeah for cosmetic purpose I’d say SL led you right. Split dose twice a day. I personally use it more for a strength boost preworkout and I’ll take 50 about 1-2 hours preworkout. I would only use it that way if it is an “inconsequential” part of your cycle. I’ll usually have a gram and a half of mixed long ester injectables going so I’m not using the anavar as a base anabolic. This means I can allow my levels to spike and dip without issue. In your cycle it plays a much larger role in the whole anabolic equation so keeping levels sustained will be more important for your needs. It’s an awesome steroid man, you’re gonna love it. Really brings those dickskin hoses out on the forearms.

Thanks for that perspective man, I'm still new to the game so you're absolutely right it will have a much larger role in the overall anabolic equation given the doses I'm experimenting with.

Honestly can't wait to throw it in, having done solely powerlifting training blocks/meets for the last year, my numbers are taking a hit being that I'm restricted and throwing cardio in the mix. Obviously once I'm on the Test that'll change but I'm sure being a first timer the anavar will make me feel like I can still lift some decent weight in the squat, bench, deadlift even at a deficit along with the nasty dickskin thin aesthetics lmao

Haha really, like expecting everyone to shoot in the dark with some of these posts.
And asking when he should take it says someone needs to do more research lol

Reason I'm asking if because I see some tend to take their full dose pre workout out, but with a half life of 8-12 hours I wanted to see if some users like splitting it into 2 doses throughout the day

How old are you? What are your goals? What prior cycles have you ran?

28 y/o , main goal to get near pre contest ready. I've done powerlifting meets both tested/untested with state records, was thinking about going for a NPC show now.

First cycle 21-22y/o, (400mg test C/wk, winny 25mg ED the last 4 weeks). Obviously unnecessary, both at that dose and at that age.

Second cycle: 28 y/o: Test Cyp started at 250mg/wk (wk 1-7),increased to 400mg/wk (wk 8-11)
This was from October to December, first time enhanced for a powerlifting meet.

Third cycle: (Upcoming) 350-400mg/wk Test E (wk 1-12), Anavar 30mg-50mg ED (wk6-12).
Going to titrate the test dose based on bloods about 4-5 weeks into the cycle to see how I'm responding.

aretegainz's picture

never thought of that but like the idea a lot, in terms of running it right up until PCT. Looks like that'll be the move, appreciate that

SL's picture

For shows I run 25mg twice a day (morning/night) for last month in prep before a show. Peak week I up it, 5 days 75mg last 2 days 100mg

agreed, no amount of anavar will provide the cosmetic touches without being dialed in. Appreciate it bro

i would only say yes because a racing stripe means you can go an extra 40mph faster than the guy who doesnt have one
