Anavar?

[frogleggs]

OK- regarding side effects of anavar-I have been researching the archives, reading about anavar. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DEAL WITH THIS DRUG? I understand the blood lipid changes it can cause, but my question is this: DOES IT HAVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL EFFECTS ON THE PROSTATE? WOULD LIGHT (20 MG/DAY), SHORT CYCLES (3 WKS) OF ANAVAR CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS? I am getting a mixed bag of results when I read the archives-no clear cut, definitive answers.

3 weeks with var? You'd better do some more home work.

For most people, Var usually takes about 2-4 weeeks to kick in. I would think 3 weeks would be a waste - it would just start to kick in and you'd be ending the cycle.

Thats bullshit, Vars effects are immediate, and you could put on a few pounds of muscle in 3 weeks, Im assuming about 3 at most, and keep it all. Not at 20 mg a day though, you would need 40-50 to see good results in that short of a timeframe.

I'm not sure where you get this. Var is very fast acting just like any other 17AA, which makes it an ideal candidate for a shorter cycle.

I notice a differnce within 2 days of starting anavar-even what most consider to be "small" doses (ie, 20 mg/day)-

frog - no offence, but what is your question? If you can see a difference after 2 days w/20mg day, which I find hard to believe - then run var for as long as you can - 3, 4 or whatever. Take some milk-thistle for your liver protection and you are good to go. Var does not shut you down like other ones, so you can go for 8 weeks for sure. The trick is that you want to gain the most results with the least amount of stuff. best of luck. if you go for 8 - do some herbal PCT from pf.com - would hurt.

At 40mg a day i saw an immediate effect on the first day. After my workout the swelling from the pump i got in the gym didnt go down. At least thats how my body reacts to it. Any muscle that i hit, gets and stays swolen for days after ive worked it out.

var is pretty fast acting. I could see a 3 week cycle having good benefits. Alot of guys do a 3 week cycle of var at the end of another short cycle, precontest ect...

If you wanna use var for 3 weeks then I suggest you add something androgenic to the mix like test prop. Var doesnt really have any effect on the prostate (test will). There's no sides except probably a slight increase of your BP.

 

[frogleggs]

It seems as if my prostate problem started after this last cycle of Var-yeah, it was only 3 wks and only 20 mg/day for 2 wks, then 30 mg/day for one wk--but it does what I want it to do and so I'm happy with that. I am already big enough (230), so i'm not lookin to get huge, just harder and more "solid"--does the trick for me. SO, my question is about anavar and its' effects on the prostate. I understand that 3 wks cycles of 20 mg/day is "not the norm"--that aside--does anyone have any prostate effects while on anavar?

I've read several places it takes a couple weeks to really kick in - and start to get results. Can't think of where now, of course. I'll hunt around for it and see if I can find where I read it. Hmmm, maybe it is for women...since we take such low doses? Just a thought.

All in all, it is fast acting and clears your system fast, but not everyone sees/feels results right away. Maybe I'm wrong, and people typically see results right away.... but I still think YMMV since everyone is different.

 

[test-monkey]

people don't understand that muscle take time to grow.

all anabolic steroids even long esters start to work right away.
when you take 20mg of anavar on your first day of your cycle it will start to work in a few hours. when people say that it takes 2 weeks to kick in they are wrong. it kicks in right away but it can take up to 2 weeks to start seeing results! muscle don't grow over night even with steriods!

froglegs....I have been having prostrate problems since I was 14 years old....had some serious problems in college because of heavy drinking and using epherine based products....that was a bad time in my life

what brand var is it that caused the problems???....are you using epherine products as well???....do you drink a shit load of water while taking the var???.....

honestly, var has had very mild negative effects on my body which is one reason I love it.....if you are only going to use 20mgs a day, did you split the doses up to 2.5- 5 mg doses spread out throughout the day.....did you take the var before bed???...with orals and the prostrate the best thing to do is not take them too close to bed time, because a lot of times you have to piss during the night and don't wake up, when you do wake up your bladder is full and you will have extra stress from the orals....

a lot of questions, are you on a low carb diet when you on taking the var???...if you don't shit regularly you could have problems associated with the prostrate and splinter (not spelled right) muscle.....I have...

also a 3 week cycle of var in my opinion isn't going to do too much....I have noticed muscle hardness the first week, week 2 some what stronger and much harder and vascular (with a strict diet), week 3 is when it starts to really work....I prefer 6-8 week cycles or it with added V12 by San in week 3.....unbelievable pumps, vascular and strength....gained 10-12 pounds last summer from this, kept about 5 of it....

That is eaxctly what I was trying to say earlier (but failed miserably ).

philthyb-
thanks for the response--It is papervar-10 mg strips that I take-and I never exceed 30 mg/day and no longer than 3 wks (I am taking as little of any anabolic as necessary--I don't need to get any bigger and at that dose, it does what I want it to do)
The prostate thing started 5 days ago-which is approximately 2 wks after stopping my last anavar, which makes no sense b/c the anavar was long gone by then-My last injectable cycle was sus and eq-very weak (100mgsus and 100 mg eq/wk)-and it was in October--no prob with prostate then (or at least none that i know of)-
From what I understand, Var is a DHT derivativie- with low androgenic ability which means less likely to mess with prostatic tissue adversely.

 

[philthyb]

yeah....not sure what happened...did you get diagnosed by a doctor that this was a prostrate related problem??....I know that I have had problems just act up out of no where in the past and have taken certain medications that work for a few days then all of a sudden stop....it is weird stuff...thank God I haven't had a problem in a few years....

It's hard to say for sure. Var won't interact with the 5AR enzyme and convert to DHT but is DHT the sole culprit in prostate problems? or even hairloss?...Who knows, but it is a weak androgen like you said.
