Anavar - experience

Hey guys,

I’m on my first blast, and my coach had me start Anavar at the beginning of last week. Swear to God—I feel like Superman in the gym after I take it. It makes me attack the weight.

I’m currently doing 50mg a day:
• 30mg pre-workout
• 20mg in the evening

Some people are saying it’s probably just placebo, but I don’t think so. My body feels hotter—literally. So much so that I’ve had to cut down on caffeine pre-workout. And the effects? I’m loving it. I feel stronger. Muscles look fuller even on off days. I’m progressing, overloading, numbers going up every week.

People are noticing. I’ve had a few say I’m starting to look like Superman— definitely feels good for me.

Anyway, I’d love to hear your experience with Anavar.
• What do you like about it?
• How does it make you feel?
• Do you notice anything when you take it pre-workout?

Drop your thoughts below!

Thank you :)

I know you don’t like my replies but I’m first in as usual. 50 mg is a lot of var for a first timer.
now to answer your questions;
I like var, I don’t feel anything special but I like the way it makes me look after a few weeks. On the down side, it makes my ass bleed.

lol haaayyy. I appreciate replies in general - I am new to this and I am gathering info and forming my opinions of things over time.
Since it seems that everyone tolerates things differently and all of these compounds - so far week 1 I am feelings great.

I took my last set of bloods before I started and take my next set in 2 weeks from now.

Since I have had really good responses to the 400 test and 300 primo 5uiGH, and my blood work has been good - This is a 3 week cycle for 50mg daily to see how oral steroids effect my SHBG.
Just a 3 week experience where I can get a feel for it.


I will keep an eye out for any blood

Placebo effect or not, if it's improving your workouts, that's beneficial.

I wish that I could use anavar, it gives me nasty acne, I'm DHT(s) sensitive

Anavar is great. Definitely gives me a strength boost, and improves the aesthetics of your physique. It will kill your HDL numbers, but 4-6 weeks after you discontinue, they bounce back pretty well. At least typically.

Seems like every time you post you're adding a new compound to your "first blast".

To be honest, I have no idea where this blast is going, how long it’ll last, or what compounds are going to get added. I’ve got a coach/bloodwork consultant, and he’s the one making those calls. I don’t have experience with most of these compounds, so he’s guiding me in a safe direction—tracking how they affect my bloodwork, which is starting to paint a picture of how future compounds might react in my system.

Right now, there’s no definitive end date. If my bloodwork looks great, there might not be a reason to come off. We’re figuring it out as we go.

The current plan is a three-week run of Anavar to see how it affects my SHBG, just to get some context on how I handle orals. After that experiment, it’ll go back to 400 Test and 300 Primo. My coach’s even been considering bumping me up. But honestly, I don’t know. He’s made most of the decisions so far, and I’m getting badass results—so that’s where we’re at.

Anavar decreases SHBG levels by inhibiting hepatic (liver) synthesis of this protein. Lower SHBG = more free testosterone, even if total testosterone decreases. Even low doses of Anavar (e.g., 10–20 mg/day) can significantly reduce SHBG. Clinical setting have shown reductions of 40–50% after several weeks of Anavar use. With the dose you are taking ic could even be as much as 50%.

Watch your lipids.....Anavar significantly lowers HDL cholesterol, sometimes by 30–50% or more, even at doses as low as 10–20 mg/day. It can also increase LDL cholesterol but not as signicantly.

So, I am happy that you are happy with your results, I would just toss this out there, YOU are the one that has only one body for the rest of your life, your "coach" has nothing to lose.
Now, you did ask for advice and I believe the consensus was try the testosterone and see how you did with that for your first run, I have been training now for 47 years 45 of them pretty seriously and have had ZERO health issues from the drugs, however I have always ran low dose long duration and added only one compound at a time to see how it REALLY affects me.
Frankly who knows what is giving you what right now, I would chill bro and enjoy the long run of life and MUSKLES, we have seen many come and go in this game from being to gung ho and fucking themselves up.
Anavar is great it is my FAV oral I run 20-50mg pd when I am running it, it WILL fuck up your lipid profiles and that is not good, take all other precautions when doing this like no gay assed drugs, alcohol, smoking, gummies with dope in them etc.
Advice from an old guy that gets compliments and ooohs and ahhhs every day at age 59 and makes a shitload of $$ from mine and my wives physiques but what do I know.

SHBG gets a bad rap. Yes, it has a high binding affinity to testosterone, but it's not permanent. SHBG is one of several testosterone transporters in the body, and it will release the testosterone at target tissues.

Just take things slow and steady... always try to get the most results out of the least amounts.

I think within parts of the community there is still this belief that lower SHBG = Higher free test = bigger gains -the end-, which there is some validity to reducing SHBG but the body likes certain things in ratios and that is often disregarded I feel.

I know years and years ago in some of my circles there was this belief that you keep estrogen as low as possible without completely crashing it because "estrogen bad!" but again its about ratios, and the positive effects estrogen has on say lipids was either not known at the time or dismissed.
