“Anavar Cycle Guide: Dosage, Benefits, and Side Effects”

[Daniel Knowsley]

Anavar (Oxandrolone) is a mild anabolic steroid commonly used to enhance muscle growth, strength, and fat loss.
A typical cycle lasts 6-8 weeks, with a common dosage range of 20-80mg per day, depending on individual goals and tolerance.
Benefits:
Increases lean muscle mass
Enhances strength and endurance
Promotes fat loss
Mild on the liver compared to other steroids
Side Effects:
Liver toxicity (with long-term use)
Hormonal imbalances (e.g., testosterone suppression)
Potential cardiovascular issues
Mood changes
It’s crucial to have proper post-cycle therapy (PCT) and medical supervision when using Anavar to minimize risks and ensure safe use.

I’d like a anavar cycle only dosage please?
Too much gut atm

[Daniel Knowsley]

For an Anavar-only cycle, a typical dosage is 20-50mg per day for 6-8 weeks. Start at a lower dose to assess tolerance, and ensure you have proper diet and training to minimize fat gain.

Is there a recommended provider to do the monitoring blood tests such as checking lipids, your function and hormone levels is a finger prick test enough or a Venuous sample is required? Do you usually order the blood tests online and send a sample to the provider?

[Daniel Knowsley]

For accurate tests, a venous blood sample is needed. Providers like Labcorp, Quest Diagnostics, and Everlywell offer online testing kits.
Finger prick tests are less reliable.

Thanks, are these test providers based in the UK?

I’ve been using One Day Tests (https://onedaytests.com/) and been happy with the service. If they have a centre nearby then it’s worth paying extra to have a nurse / phlebotomist do the blood draw for you. As you say, check lipids, kidney and liver markers and, as you hopefuly realise, using anavar will shut you down so bear that in mind. I use 10-20mg on training days only. Don’t go higher until you’ve got a reason to. The gains on this low dose can be very profound.

Hi Simonwinnsmith,

I like the look of the onedaytests place you’ve linked and there is one local to me. What specific blood tests do I need to do regularly if I am going to start some cycles for the first time? I need to see what my test and what other levels are at?

Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

[Daniel Knowsley]

Glad you’re happy with One Day Tests! Good advice on keeping Anavar dosage low at 10-20mg on training days. Monitoring lipids, kidney, and liver is key, and remember Anavar will suppress natural testosterone. Start low and adjust only if needed.

Dear jimmy,
For your first cycle, get these blood tests regularly:

Testosterone levels (Total and Free)
Liver function (ALT, AST, Bilirubin)
Kidney function (Creatinine, BUN)
Lipids (Cholesterol, HDL, LDL)
Erythropoietin (EPO) for red blood cell count
Estradiol (Estrogen)
These will help monitor your health during cycles.

Thanks, great info.

Hallo,

Ich habe vor einen 6 Wochen Zyklus mit Anavar zu starten. Meine Frage dazu ist folgende, muss ich während des Zyklus Arimidex einnehmen? Braucht man bei einem Anavar only Cycle PCT? Wenn ja mit was?

[Daniel Knowsley]

No Arimidex needed — Anavar doesn’t aromatize.
Yes, PCT is recommended — use Clomid or Nolvadex for 2–3 weeks after cycle.

Hey, I got some questions about my Anavar only cycle that I want to start in 4 weeks.

1.Do I need to do a blood test? If yes what do I meed to check?

2. Can I do a clean bulk an do the cycle

3. When do I take it? For example if I take 20mg, do I take 10mg in the morning an 10mg in the evening or 10mg in ghe morning an 10mg pre workout?

4. Do I need to do PCT? I heard that it don’t suppresses your natural testosteron a lot
