ah, the timeless question of stanz vs oxandrolone. Well I've posted a fairly lengthy discussion on this a while back and can't seem to locate the post because it was titled something weird. Anyway the short version is this:
Stanz has always been a cutting, strength gain and finisher anabolic, "shrink wrap the gains" so to speak. 'Will it make me faster' is often a question asked because of the famous sprinter Ben Johnson who got caught with stanozolol in his system. The answer is, performance enhancers along with a superb training regimen like Johnson's, you'd probably get faster on any compound. Plus it’s also reported he was caught higher testosterone in his blood as well. So who the eff knows. But because stanz is a DHT derivative it has the tendency to give great endurance and pumps with noticeable strength increases but not much for mass gains. Although lean mass is attainable with proper diet and training it’s not used for bulking but rather cutting. The sides reported are hair loss and high BP and liver toxicity. But mind you in my experience, liver values always rebound to normal and often don't become a problem unless running well over 10 wks straight at high doses. Most pple only run the oral stanz or winny depot for 6 weeks. And if you re not prone to MPB, then hair loss is not a problem (at least for me!). Main concern for me was high BP. It can be hard to get the full 100 mg ed dosing I like when the BP gets to be too high.
Oxandrolone (Anavar): One of my favorites! Absolutely one of the best anabolics to stack with almost any compound. Taken during bulking or cutting. Because it is processed in the kidneys, liver toxicity is not a prob, however thats not to say you aren't putting stress on your kidneys. The gains tend be good for a sides to gains ratio. Meaning you won't get probably any noticeable sides but you CAN make some lean mass gains. Its doesn't aromatize (neither does stanz) so pple prone to gyno or high estrogen sides usually favor this drug for is lean mass building properties and often nice vascularity it can provide. Often though pple don't take high enough doeses of var. Its real benefit (IMO) is at 100 mg ed. Taken every day for 4 - 6 wks at 100 mg ed can have tremendous strength gains, noticeable lean mass gains, vascularity and virtually zero water weight.
So Var during bulking or cutting. Stanz mainly for cutting/hardening.
If I had to choose 1: Var wins by an eyelash.
