What percentage if any of your gains did you keep and how was your recovery?

I am on my last day of a 8 week cycle of 50mg ed of anavar. I liked it a lot... Was not to suddle of gains but, over the weeks you notice a difference....My strength went up a lot and gained about 10lbs... The key is to train just as hard off as you are on.....

I just finished a 9 week 40mg ed var cycle....Mine was a pure cutter....3000cal a day high protien diet.....I maintained my body weight ..but lost between 3-5% bodyfat.....from aproximatly 16%-12%...strength gain was present but minimal...but I was using a high rep/lighter lifting/super form type training approach with minimal recovery time......super pumps and increased vascularity were very apparent...I also ran 25mg proviron ed......pct consists of Clomid & proviron 2 weeks.....Oh by the way I'm 6'2" 230 lbs....

50 to 60mgs per day, gained about 10/12lbs, kept about the 10lbs mark. Strength gains were wicked. Still kept good strength. Only problem is I will not train like I did on it again, i.e. as heavy and as fierce, as both my shoulders, my neck joints are so sore now after each session, they haven't caught up yet, also trapped a nerve in my arm. SO moral here is lift even more carefully when on VAR.

My 1st cycle was with Var only also. I loved it because it gave me mostly strenght and almost no side effects! I did an 8 week/50mg a day. I gained almost 10 lbs and more vascularity. For PCT I used Nolva. After the cycle, yeah strenght went definitely down, but was able to keep some of the gains with a high protein diet.

yup same for me but did not gain that much weight lost BF gained muscle great little cycle.

i think PCT must be done exactly as advertised to retain oral gains

i used tbol alone which is similar to var, i gained 7lbs of lean mass and about 30lbs on my mid bench set(serious strength gains) i ran a mild nolva pct 40mg ed for a week than 20mg ed for two more, i kept most of the strength my reps basically went down after the cycle but i was still able to lift the same amount of weight on most excersises
