honestly 200mg a week is a pretty solid dose for anavar and you'll definitely see that "dry" look start to pop after a few weeks. it's not a magic fat burner like dnp or something but it makes your muscles look way harder and keeps you from losing size while you're in a deficit. i wouldn't go much longer than 6 to 8 weeks though because even though it's "mild" it's still an oral and your liver and lipids will eventually start feeling the stress. keep an eye on your cholesterol because that's usually the first thing to get wonky on var!

man 200mg is definitely enough to see a difference but dont expect the fat to just melt off if your diet isnt on point. it’s more about the polish- it makes you look like you’re carved out of granite once you get your body fat down. as for the hair it really depends on your genetics but anavar is generally one of the safer ones for the hairline. if you start seeing more shedding than usual just dial it back or hop off but most guys i know stay pretty safe on that dose for a couple months.

i ran 20mg a day (so 140mg a week) for 8 weeks and the strength gains were actually the best part lol. i felt like i could lift a house even on low carbs. at 200mg you might get some back pumps or tight calves so just make sure you're drinking a ton of water and maybe taking some taurine. you'll definitely see the vascularity go through the roof which is a total game changer for the motivation!

eight weeks is pretty much the standard cutoff for most guys. you could probably push it to ten if your bloodwork looks okay but your liver will definitely want a break by then. it's not gonna "wreck" you like dbol or tren but it’s still a 17-aa steroid so just be smart about it. use some milk thistle or tudca for support and you'll probably be fine. just dont be surprised if you feel a little suppressed after you stop!

if you're looking for a total transformation just remember that var is the "finisher." it's what you use to get that last 5% looking perfect. at 200mg a week you'll definitely feel the "alpha" vibe in the gym and your recovery will be way better. i didnt have any hair issues on it but my acne flared up a tiny bit on my shoulders. totally worth it for the strength and the look though!

congrats on starting the cut! 200mg is a very manageable dose. i noticed that the fat loss was subtle at first but by week 4 i was seeing veins in my abs that i've never seen before. it’s less about "burning" fat and more about making sure the weight you lose is pure fat and not muscle. just stick to 6-8 weeks and you'll get a great result without any of the scary side effects people talk about with the harsher stuff.
