Anavar and women question???

[needsize]

I have a friend that is contemplating using an anabolic to enhance her training. To my knowlege, anavar is generally considered the safest choice for women, usually starting at 5mg per day and working up to a max of 15mg or so.

Some background on her, 15 years of serious training, owns her own supplement store, has more personal training certifications that i can conveniently count, so her diet and training is more than sound.

She is kinda leary about taking any gear, but after all those years of natural training, and the level she has already taken her physique to, this really does seem like the next step. So what kind of side effects could she expect using anavar at those doses?

Anavar at those doses should have no adverse effects. My only question would be what brand is she planning to use. Bratis for example tested to be winsterol for example.

I have access to the thai anavar, little orange stop signs, same ones I am bridging with

the worst sides i ever experienced were some mild breakouts and oily skin...the results were well worth it though.

That doesnt sound too bad, does it affect birth control at all?

it did stop my period the whole time i was on, but as far as i'm concerned, this was just another perk!

I can see where that would be a bonus...

Thanks for the help!

Azia's considering hittin some Anavar in the spring/summer......she gets good results naturally but this will put her over the edge. Does it have a positive effect on libido?

 

[princess]

i'd say it helped a little. i'm not sure though whether that was really from the var or if it was one of those things that was just "in my head" and helped my libido just because it was what i expected to happen. does that make sense at all? either way...another positive.

the only thing i'd say was a negative was coming off. after you get used to your body looking a certain way, its very hard to accept when your body goes back to looking "normal" again (and yes, i still kept the workout intensity up and kept eating clean). i did manage to keep some gains, but i think its impossible to keep them all. anyway, it really messes with you mentally.

that being said, would i do it again?

Okay -- you are scaring me here! I have yet to embark on my var cycle (target of January 1). I finished my first cycle (winny) and while I have been off 6 weeks, I have not lost my gains -- just tons of water that "plumped" up the muscle. I cannot even say that the strength gains I had made have suffered either -- perhaps I have less muscle stamina -- but strength has been awesome. I cannot say my body is back where it started......so it concerns me to read this. I would then prefer to use something with a tad more bang for my buck so to speak.

You mention your diet and training did not waiver.....how long did you work out naturally before your cycle? How old are you? If you do not mind answering....before I embark on starting var -- I would love your feedback.

 

[princess]

sorry...i didn't mean to scare you. first, you have to remember that everyone is different. your genetics are different than mine, so maybe you can keep your gains more easily than i can.

also, maybe "gains" wasn't the correct word in my instance. for the cycle i mentioned above, i didn't use the var to bulk...i used it more to lean out (before anyone flames me, i mean i used it to help keep muscle on while trying to shed some bodyfat by dieting and upping the cardio). so when i say i lost some of my gains, i actually mean i lost my "veininess" and hardness. i don't really feel like i lost much size, just that i put on an extra layer (or two ) of bodyfat.

i'll admit that when i saw some of the hardness disappearing, i got a little discouraged and THEN let things slide with the diet and cardio.

BTW, to answer your other questions, i've been working out since i was about 20 (i'm 30 now). at first, it was the typical "going thru the motions" sort of stuff, but i'd say i got serious maybe about 3 or so years ago.

i hope this helped somewhat and good luck!

it'd be interesting to hear from others if they felt they were able to keep all their "gains" after coming off...

Hey Princess...thanks for clarifying and PHEW! Yeah losing the vascularity and hardness and fullness from water intramuscularly stored, is a mind game for sure.

Thanks! Will let you know how much of mine I keep come March...start the var in January!

I would be very surprised if a drug as low in androgenicity as Anavar had any appreciable affect on libido. There is no doubt that many women (and men) experience favorable changes in bodyfat though! This has to be weighed up against unfavorable changes in lipid profiles, and the inevitable return of the bodyfat once you stop taking the drug. As long as you know in advance, you can mentally prepare yourself for the return of the fat monster. If you don't think you can handle this, then you are better off not taking the drug to begin with (unless you have a life-threatening wasting diseas of course).
