Here we go again...
I posted this in another thread, but decided I should post in this one as well.
Many state in this thread that you only need 20mg of 'real' var to get cut up, let me say this. The prescribed dose for males is 20-50mg ED for males, and for females 5-15mg. This is to promote weight gain for burn victims, people with HIV/AIDS, osteoporosis, recovery from surgery, etc. There was a study done with geriatric patients 65 years and older and the dose used was 10mg ED (2 doses of 5mg). According to some of the misinformation concerning anavar on this and other forums, these grandpa's must have been jacked by the end of 12 weeks!
Fact is we are not burn victims or suffering from trauma or a muscle wasting disease. We are bodybuilders whose number one goal is lean mass. Anavar in the past had a reputation as a "girls" steroid and is weak. What perpetuated this myth is the guru's saying that only 2.5-20mg of 'real' var is needed. To get the amazing effects that var can provide for the bodybuilder I recommend a dose of 50-100mg ED for men, and 20-37.5mg for women. Var is a mild steroid but at these higher doses liver enyzmes and lipid values should be checked while on cycle. For me at 100mg ED my liver enyzmes were at the high end of the range, but still normal. My cholesterol values were normal except HDL was 30 which is low.
Here is a really good article on anavar....
