how long could you actually stay on 200 mg a week of anavar before you'd really need to dial it back and give your body a break? im curious what kind of negative side effects people usually see like does it mess with your bloods or anything major. also how much of a difference does it really make for fat loss like is the change to your body fat gonna be super drastic or just subtle?
id love to hear from anyone whose run a similar dose and what there results were like and how long you stayed on for- just trying to figure out if its worth the trade off or not.
200mg a week is roughly 30mg a day which is a pretty standard dose but honestly anavar is still an oral so it's gonna beat up your liver and lipids eventually. most guys stick to 6-8 weeks max before taking a break just to be safe
honestly the fat loss isn't "magical" - it’s not like clen or dnp. it just helps u hold onto muscle while u eat less so u look way more defined. if your diet sucks the var isn't gonna do much for the belly fat unfortunately
watch your hdl man. anavar is notorious for absolutely nuking your "good" cholesterol. i ran 50mg a day for 6 weeks and my hdl went from 45 to 12. definitely not something u want to stay on forever
you'll definitely feel the strength gains pretty quick!! usually by week 2 or 3 you'll be hitting pbs in the gym. just be careful with your joints because the strength increases faster than your tendons can keep up sometimes
i wouldnt go past 8 weeks tops. even if u feel fine your bloodwork will probably show a different story. its better to do short bursts and keep the gains than to stay on too long and mess up your health
the pumps on 30mg+ a day can actually be painful lol. like sometimes i cant even finish a set of curls because my arms feel like they’re gonna explode. its a cool feeling but can be annoying for cardio
if your already lean you'll notice a huge difference in "hardness" and vascularity. but if u are over 15% bodyfat it might just be a subtle change. it really shines when u are already starting to show some abs
i ran 25mg a day for 10 weeks once and by the end i was getting super lethargic. orals just have a way of wearing u down after a while. definitely listen to your body and dont push it just to hit a specific date
make sure your taking some liver support like tudca or nac. even though var is considered "mild" it’s still 17-alpha alkylated so it’s putting stress on your system every single day u take it
honestly its worth the tradeoff if u have a specific goal like a photoshoot or a vacation but for just "cruising" its probably too much. id stick to the 6-8 week window and then get bloods done to see the damage
did u notice any hair thinning? some guys say var is hair safe but for me it definitely made things shed a bit faster. everyone reacts differently though so just keep an eye on the drain haha
its a subtle but "quality" change. u wont blow up like u do on dbol but the weight u keep is actually muscle and not just a bunch of water weight. stay hydrated and enjoy the strength bro!!
