Running 50mg var daily for 8 weeks alongside 500mg test. The hardening effect is real and I look drier than on test alone. The cost is the pain. For what I spent on this var I could have bumped test to 800mg and gotten more raw size. The difference is the dry look and the quality of strength. On higher test I look fuller and stronger but not harder. Who has done a proper side-by-side comparison between bumping test and adding var?

Both nothing comparable.
High dose Anavar + moderate dose test > high dose test
Very high test = Hugh aromatisation, so you will hold lot of water, then will lose it.
Anavar is considered as week because it’s well tolerated, but try to run it 80-100mg/day for 8-10weeks (regular blood work necessary), you will see its nothing alike, your body will physically change, and the only comparable compound in terms of results is actually Primo at high dosage.
But off course the price is a stop

Fair points but 80-100mg var for 10 weeks is asking a lot from your lipids. HDL tanks hard on var, that dose for that long means months to recover even with fish oil and cardio. Personally I get more out of 50-60mg for 6 weeks alongside a solid test base, gets most of the look without the cardiovascular cost. The primo comparison is the honest one though, if cost wasn't a factor most guys would skip var entirely. Right now primo at 300-500mg is hitting the same lean dry result without the liver or lipid hit.
