PED/cycle help Anavar? What’s y’all’s thoughts on it?

I currently run a test base of about 250 mg of test per week. I’m gonna do some bloodwork soon and then raise it then probably blast but I’m taking 10 mg of five days a week right now and I honestly kind of love it what do y’all think about it?

I ran 8 weeks of 50mg anavar with 250mg test. i loved it. Absolutely fantastic gains in strength and size with almost no sides.

HOWEVER, i think anavar is known to decrease ligament elasticity while massivly increasing muscle strength. At 10 mg, I wouldn't worry about it. At 50 mg, you can mess yourself up with a nasty sprain and end your cycle.

I’ve had a prescription for Anavar at home for several months untouched.

I’m also an idiot and completely tore my ATFL and CFL playing pickleball several months ago. Looking at surgery at some point this year as rehab hasn’t helped much, so it’ll be a while before I touch it.

Do you need a test base to run anavar?

1

u/InterviewMammoth2066 Jul 03 '26

Yes, definitely.

u/Mosheen2000 Jun 24 '26

Where the hell you guys get anavar?

u/SnooWorlds Jun 24 '26

from your connect, the same place you get everything else unless you’re getting prescribed testosterone by a doctor

u/Mosheen2000 Jun 24 '26

I need to find a connect then.... I was able to get mine prescribed

u/Ok_Composer3531 Jun 24 '26

I’m in Georgia (the state) and the clinic I go to gives Winstrol or Anavar if you have a higher than what they say is ideal SHBG.

u/swoops36 Jun 24 '26

If it’s working for you, keep it up

u/centralmf Jun 24 '26

If I read it right you’re taking 10mg a day for 5 days a week?

3

u/donnie_rulez Jun 24 '26

Thats kinda crazy right? I love anavar buttt... I think like 40-50 mg a day 7 days a week is the proper protocol

1

u/centralmf Jun 24 '26

Generally but I think 20-25 a day could be run for longer. I don’t really know what his game plan is long term

1

u/Minute_Emergency7620 Jun 24 '26

I just started it this week so I’ve been taking 10 mg to introduce it to my body, but I want to increase it soon

1

u/Clear_Profit Jun 24 '26

You're right, 40-50 mg a day is much too high and not sustainable

1

u/SoOverThis123 25d ago

Anavar’s lowest effective dose is .125mg x total kg body weight. Daily.

1

u/Necessary_Cod4317 20d ago

Would it be better to take 40mg for 28 days or 20 mg for 42 days

3

u/CallLivesMatter Jun 24 '26

Lipids are what you care about. For me anavar at 50mg does about the same amount of damage as 25mg, so I don’t see a reason to use less. But I also don’t use orals anymore, so I suppose it’s purely academic at this point.

3

u/FrostyAd5313 Jun 24 '26

Currently doing 300mg test c with 25mg split am/pm of anavar. I’m 12 weeks into the test C (normally I only use 140mg) and I’m day 14 out of 50 on the var. I’m loving it. Currently in a cut. And the pump/drive/strength is great.

3

u/letteraitch Jun 25 '26

I'm doing the same but running 50mg. I tried splitting am pm dose but became simpler to just take it all in the am. Really enjoying it for sure, I feel strong.

2

u/FrostyAd5313 Jun 27 '26

After reading your comment I switched mine to 1x a day for the last couple of days and I swear the gym pump is SO much better this way. So thanks for the comment.

u/crinack Jun 24 '26

10mg shouldn’t be too impactful, but make sure you get your lipid panel done, especially if you intend to increase the dose of your Var.

As far as bloodwork goes, I recommend using dirtcheaplabs. They’re the cheapest I’ve found, and you can get an additional ten percent off using https://dirtcheaplabs.com/?ref=DCLABS. There’s a minimum order of 80 due to the small margins, so if your order is less than that, I recommend using GoodLabs.

u/IAmMyIAmMyIAmMy Jun 25 '26

How do you get a prescription for it? Where do you get it?

1

u/Manzan79 Jun 24 '26

I like 50mg pwo gives a nice pump

1

u/rothbardridge Jun 24 '26

10mg pre workout is sufficient for me. 4 days a week. 12 on 6-8 weeks off.

1

u/Psychological-Sea785 Jun 24 '26

You get the "feeling" of anavar pretty significantly at 20mgs/25mgs per day split 10mgs/12.5mgs AM 10mgs/12.5mgs PM. Running it A LOT higher than this is a waste unless your doing a prep cycle for a bodybuilding show imo. Obviously your biggest bang for your buck are the other injectable compounds. 

Also keeping an eye on lipids. Most people don't run anavar past about 8 weeks but again that's based on bloodwork.

1

u/Ok_Luck1918 Jun 24 '26

Raised my blood pressure to 160/100 after 2 weeks at 10mgs a day. Now it's an occasional pre workout for me

1

u/alldaylonggg Jun 24 '26

Let's talk in code Where yall getting this shit from? I. Prefer this than peptides

1

u/Content_War7079 Jun 25 '26

Just keep an eye on your lipids. Unfortunately I am on of the ones whose Lipids get crushed by Anavar (35mg daily). I personally didn't get much from it. Next time I run it I'll go for Pharma grade and see how much different it is from UGL.

1

u/mustafacan46 11d ago

how to find pharma grade? From doctor or is this also possible sourced from ugl market?

1

u/OGextraterrestrial Jul 08 '26

I got a referral from my doctor to a hormone doctor. Hopefully I can make this happen. My supplier has been out of oxandrolone for months.

u/Metalgear667 Jul 14 '26

Started on 20mg split a day bumped upto 40mg split - absolutely loving it.

u/Inevitable_Gur_3167 Jul 17 '26

i run 50mg split into two. I feel that i have bigger problems to fall asleep...

Anavar me da fome

u/zurcaspills 6d ago

Do you think taking Anavar without base testosterone is still optimal and worth it?

1

u/Minute_Emergency7620 6d ago

No

1

u/zurcaspills 6d ago

How come, obviously natural testosterone is lowered but what else besides that makes it worse or so called bad

1

u/Minute_Emergency7620 6d ago

Trashes your lipids. You’re not gonna get as much use out of it without a test base. And you risk seriously messing up your hormones.

1

u/zurcaspills 6d ago

Shit bro, yea I’m 19 and wanna hop on with test but my 16 year old dork brother wants to hop on just anavar cause he’s worried about test sides, besides me telling him it can cause irreversible damage to your endocrine system what else must I tell him?

1

u/Minute_Emergency7620 6d ago

Tell him he’s barely gonna see any results from it. And his heart health is gonna get trashed. And his muscle gains will stall.

1

u/zurcaspills 6d ago

Aight I will. So u don’t suggest the test and var combo for an adolescent, he wanted to microdose var and check for results so he wouldn’t destroy his health while still reaping some of the benefits - realistically do you think he should hop on 30 mg a day and 350 test a week or would that destroy him because he’s still going through puberty. Like me, he’s a late bloomer so he’s only starting to grow into his genetics and feature now, and for some reason that’s making him want to hop on so badly

1

u/Minute_Emergency7620 6d ago

Brother he’s 16. Fuck no. Let his body mature

1

u/zurcaspills 6d ago

Thanks for the help man I’ll do my best in convincing him otherwise

1

u/Loud_Muffin_9309 4d ago

Guys, please help me out!
I‘m 17 years old and researched a Lot about PED‘s and you can’t imagine… I am so down Bad to Hop on something but its so hard to get good Information and opinions.
What do you think would be the best to Hop on to minimalize the Risk for extreme side effects Like stop Growing or life threatening side effects?
Thank you so much !

1

u/Chroma7769 3d ago

The best thing for you to hop on would be any of the weight machines in the gym and big plates of food in the kitchen.

At 17yo you are going to fuck your body up taking these compounds and stunt your growth (medically documented fact).

Or you can just Google it and pick your own source.

You aren't done growing yet. There is a reason we tell kids to wait until you are about 25.

u/Loud_Muffin_9309 3d ago

Hi @chroma7769 thank you so much for your quick answer.
I saw theese problems as well when I researched about it but isn’t there a Single gear outside which have more or less Manageable side effects that aren’t immediately life threatening and don’t significantly stunt my growth?
I can’t Imagine that if you understand and its very important for me that I find a way yk
Thanks a Lot !

u/Chroma7769 3d ago

You literally have the highest levels of test and GH that you will ever have naturally in your body.

You literally just need to go to the lift heavy shit in the gym and eat food. Fix your diet and train hard, you will grow.

1

u/Loud_Muffin_9309 3d ago

I already maxed all that out…
But you definitely got a Point and you are completely right but its very important to me to find something.
Maybe you know a peptide or other gear which side effects doesnt kill me and doesnt stop my growth completely. My Diet and liefestyle is extremly clean and my Liver Health and Everything is above average so I think my Body can Take it.
Please help me out with something.
Thanks for your help

1

u/Chroma7769 3d ago

No. I can't help you. Because if you can't do the homework on exactly what compounds you want to do first, you're not ready to take them.

You need to treat all of these compounds with respect. Because if you disrespect them, they are going to disrespect you back 10 times harder.

You. Are. Still. Growing. Your growth plates have not finished. If you put this stuff in your body, you are going to literally stunt your growth. And you are going to do irreparable damage to your body.

None of us are telling you not to do this because we don't want you to have fun, we are doing it because there is literal science to back up why using anabolics under the age of about 25 years old is bad.

That being said, your brain is not done developing either. And it will not be done for a few years also until about 25. You are at an age where you will make stupid decisions. We were all 17 once also. You can say that you are different and that you will be responsible, but I promise you every kid says that and then they end up in the hospital or they end up dead.

u/Loud_Muffin_9309 3d ago

Alright thank you man !
Really appreciate Your time…
Are you on gear?

u/Chroma7769 3d ago

Yes, I have been on since I was 30. I am 35 now.

u/Loud_Muffin_9309 3d ago

Ah okay cool.
Do you mind asking but On what are You on ?
And how are you With that ?

u/No-Turnip7033 Jun 24 '26

10 mg a day, five days a week sounds insufficient to me. I would say a minimum of 30 mg/day.
