im trying to decide between anavar and tbol for strictly putting on muscle- i dont really care about athletic performance or anything like that just want to size up while staying lean. i’ll definitely be running it with a test base too so dont worry bout that lol.
if you had to pick one for a lean bulk which way would you go? i hear different things about the pumps and the strength gains for both and i cant really decide which one fits better for a 10-12 week blast. let me know what you guys think or if you've run both which one gave you better keepers after you hopped off- thanks!
Honestly if it's strictly for a lean bulk I’d go with Tbol every time. Anavar is great for that "dry" look right at the end, but Tbol gives me that weird, permanent-looking fullness and the strength gains are way more consistent for me. Plus, Var pumps can get so painful in the lower back that I can't even finish a leg day. Tbol is just a bit smoother for a long 10-12 week run.
I've run both and honestly Var is king for the aesthetic but Tbol is better for actual lean tissue. Most the weight you gain on Tbol stays with you after you stop, whereas Var seems to "leak" out a bit once the glycogen drops. Just a heads up though - 10-12 weeks is a long time for an oral. Your liver might be screaming at you by week 8 so keep an eye on your appetite!
tbol all the way man. var is cool for photoshoots but if you want to actually move some weight in the gym and pack on size tbol is the goat. it doesn't mess with my hair as much either which is a huge plus. just make sure you have some taurine on hand because those calf pumps are no joke lol.
If you want to stay lean while bulking, Anavar is definitely the more "fun" drug because you'll look like a vein-chart within two weeks. But for actual size? Tbol takes it. It’s like a "dry" Dbol. No bloat, just steady gains. I usually run it at 50mg and feel like a god. Var is just too expensive and faked too often for me to trust it for a full 12 weeks.
tbol for sure bro. i feel like anavar is better suited for the end of a cut when you're already shredded. for a lean bulk you want that extra "push" in the gym and tbol gives that raw power without making you look like a water balloon. i kept way more of my gains on tbol than i ever did on var. match it with 500mg of test and you're golden.
Hard choice but I’d pick Var just for the strength. I know people say it's a "girl drug" but at 50mg a day my bench always flies up. But since you're going for 10-12 weeks, Tbol might be easier on your lipids. Orals for 3 months is a big ask for the body lol - just make sure you're taking your liver support and drinking tons of water!
honestly if your main goal is just size and keeping it lean i’d go with tbol every time. anavar is cool for that dry look and crazy strength but tbol gives me way more of a "full" look that actually sticks around after the cycle is over. anavar pumps can get so bad that i can't even finish a back day sometimes lol so tbol is just more practical for a long blast.
i've run both and for a lean bulk tbol was definitely better for me. anavar is amazing for finishing a cut but for 10-12 weeks it can get a bit harsh on the lipids plus the pumps are no joke. tbol is like a "dry" dbol - you get the strength and the mass without all the water bloat. just make sure your taking some liver support since your running it that long!
if your already lean then anavar is gonna make you look like a god but for actual new tissue tbol probably has the slight edge. the strength on var is wild though... like i feel like i can lift a house after week 3. keep in mind 10-12 weeks is a pretty long time for an oral so definitely watch your appetite and stuff because it might start to tank toward the end.
lol "don't worry about the test base" - music to my ears man you'd be surprised how many people try to solo these. i'd go with anavar if you want that veins-everywhere aesthetic but if you just want to get bigger go tbol. tbol is also way less likely to be faked than var... finding real anavar can be a nightmare depending on your source.
i prefer anavar just because the strength gains are so fun but the back pumps are a total nightmare. if you do go with var buy some taurine in bulk because you're gonna need it. for a steady lean bulk though tbol is probably the "smarter" pick - its just very consistent and the gains feel a bit more permanent once you drop back to your cruise.
