and yes i used Anavar and mixed with Winny for about 8 months in a row. The mix was only for 6 weeks, so in fact about almost 6 months of only Anavar.
But i know Ulter has used it for bridging for more then 2 years.
My first 2000 tabs from ** where at around 10 mgr/tab and i received them april 2001. I know they had to be around 10 because i started with the 5 mgr red/white Spanish Ox (had 500 tabs, so for 50 days) and gains even impoved over the Spanish (i hate to say this because since my HGH was seized and with the loss of $1100 one can hardly say i "dig" **.)
So the 400 Anavar pills he sent me to compensate my loss are probably also 4mgr (received them about 2 months ago).
You can hardly say that Anavar has many sides. It does not alter the prostate, no high BP, no liver problems, no hair loss but this can be personal.
The only sides blood gets thinner and one can get nose bleeds when taking more then 80 mgr/day. This also could be personal. one side that affects everybody is: the good cholesterol goes down and the bad goes up, so one should take some fish oil to compensate or another product to help control the cholesterol.
And has HugeWannabe says gains can be important. For me about 14 pounds and the good thing with doing Var for a long time, you are solidifiing the gains.
Never where there any problems to keep the weight at a little over 200 pounds, without fat.
So for those wandering if Anavar could be taken for a year at 20 mgr/day, i say "go for it". I wouldn't mind doing a year at 40 mgr/day with bloodtests of course.
But even at 20 mgr/day with enough protein and Creatine at 5 gr/day should be a great bridge.
The best part is that after that year, gains will stay if not forever then certainly for a very long time. Another bonus, during that year you will have less bodyfat, especially around the waist. You definitly look better while on Ox at low dose. At 20 mgr/day yoiur HPTA should not be supressed fully. Taking 1 Proviron tab at 25 mgr/day makes you even look harder and keeps the sex drive high. The only reason not to like Anavar is....the price and it is not a mass builder.
Just my thoughts.
