Anavar at 50mg for summer cut, is it actually worth the cost

[FLbodybuilder]

Getting into prep mode for summer and debating adding var to the last 6-8 weeks. On 400mg test right now, would drop to 300 and add 50mg var. The price is the main thing putting me off. Seen it for about $120 for 100 tabs locally. Have any of you actually noticed a real difference at 50mg or is 75-100 where it really shines? I do not want to spend the money if I am not going to feel it.

50mg is where most people actually feel it properly. 25mg is too subtle for the price. That said if the goal is just to harden up and hold strength on a cut, 50mg for 6 weeks will do that. I ran it at 60mg last summer and kept almost all my strength while dropping about 12 lbs. Worth it for me but I understand the cost argument.

50mg is where you actually feel it, from what I understand. I have never run var myself but the feedback I keep seeing is that anything under 40mg is a bit of a waste. The pumps can get uncomfortable at higher doses apparently, especially on back day. Is that something you experience at 50?

50mg is the sweet spot in my opinion. Ran it twice. First time at 40mg and felt it a little. Second time 50mg and the pumps and muscle hardness were noticeably better. 75mg and above is where your lipids start taking a proper hit too so 50 is a reasonable ceiling for most. If cost is the issue MTS tabs are reasonably priced compared to most.

Ran var at 60mg for 6 weeks on a cut. Kept my strength almost entirely while dropping bodyfat. The cost is annoying aye but it is one of the safer orals. Liver values barely moved on my bloods. If you can find properly dosed tabs from a trusted source it is worth it. Cheap underdosed var is not.

Worth it at 50mg if the source is solid. I run it for the last 8 weeks of a cut at 50-60mg. The muscle fullness while staying dry is the main benefit for me. Strength holds well too. Pumps can be intense during legs but nothing that stops the session. Cost is high in AU but I factor it into the cycle budget.

Anavar is hepatotoxic at higher doses though the effect is less severe than other 17-AA compounds. At 50mg for 6 weeks the liver stress is generally manageable with TUDCA or UDCA supplementation. The cost concern is valid but consider that the quality of the compound matters more at this dose than with injectables. Underdosed oral var is common with cheaper suppliers.

In Europe var is also expensive and often fake or underdosed. I ran it once at 50mg and felt nothing for first 3 weeks then something at week 4-5. Maybe was real but underdosed. Second time from better source I felt it clearly from week 2. Source quality matters a lot with orals.

[Beantown Rick]

Good point about underdosing. I ran var from a cheaper source years ago and felt basically nothing at 50mg. Switched to a proper source and the difference was obvious. If you are going to spend the money on var, spend it on a source you trust. Buying cheap var is basically throwing money away.

I have read that anavar is one of the safer steroids but also one of the most faked. Is it correct that there is winstrol often sold as anavar? I am not ready for orals yet but want to understand for the future. The point about trusted sources seems very important for orals especially.
