Anavar only cycle, PCT OR NO PCT?

[dzuljas]

have heard some bros on here saying that anavar alone doesnt shut you down enough that you would need clomid post cycle. Any opinions on that? Also, what is the half-life of anavar? How soon after last day of anavar would you start clomid?

 

[mookie]

Half life is 8 hours. I did 5 anavar only cycles and did no PCT. Never had any sides and kept most of my strength.

 

[dr0832]

mookie how much did you take per day? How much LBM did you gain?

DO PCT, why wouldn't you??? Start the day after if I'm not mistaken

Damn it. How many times do people have to tell ya:
ANAVAR IS SUPRESSIVE ! ! ! JA once linked to an article that showed Anavar was quite supressive even at a low dose and within 5 days (if i remember correctly).
The fact that anavar is not suppresive is a myth! And it is certainly VERY supressive when run for 6 to 10 weeks like most run it.

Like clean said: Why take a chance? Why go cheap on PCT? Better play is safe then sorry in regards to gains.

i agree that playing it safe is a good thing but ive always hered that var will not shut you down....not calling you a lier just want to know what your basing your thoughts on

He's basing his thoughts on a study that has been floating around, and posts by at least one member that had bloodwork done post Oxandrolone only cycle. Both sources of information clearly showed Ox as being suppresive.

I'm not going to search for these theads, but they're here I've seen them.

Yes it was "thought" and people have "heard", but I've yet to see a shred of evidence that says Ox isn't suppresive. And just because someone does an Ox only cycle with no PCT doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. Hell, ten years ago I did a Deca only cycle with no PCT and kept some gains.

 

[Clean]

anavar is suppressive!

 

[genarr3]

Ok, I did alittle searching . . .

Really? Did you get this off some drug profile? That's is not true at all. Anavar is the it's very suppressive to your HTPA. Here's a graph where 5 days of ox @ 15mgs a day significantly depressed HTPA...

The shows 40% suppression in HTPA after 5 days. What you make of that?

Great Info Genarr

Thanks

 

[junk]

Thanks Genarr. I hope this will end the myth of 'var isn't supressive'.

 

[dzuljas]

thanks guys! I had remembered seeing a thread on here b4 about var being supressive but i just wanted to make sure.

 

[mookie]

I just got off BD Var a couple of weeks ago started at 30mg ended at 40mg. Gained about 14lbs and have kept my gains I did take Proviron and BetaGen with it. The other Var cycles I did were always low dosages was taken them for boxing had to watch my weight they where BTG.

 

[scorpion_X]

Most people run var 8-10 weeks so some form of PCT should be used.

1. Clomid or Nolva standard PCT
2. Natural supplements (avena sativa, trib, maca, zma)

 

[Ganryu]

It seems that one could also run PF's Post-Cycle DURING the cycle, w/clom or nolva and PF's Unleashed for PCT. Any thoughts on this?

 

[robby2]

i have done anavar only cycles with and without PCT. i've never noticed
a significant difference. to be on the safe side, i would suggest to do a
clean PCT. to get things straight would need blood tests.
