Looking to add anavar to my next cutting cycle. Running test enanthate 400mg/week for 12 weeks, want to add var at 50mg/day for first 6 weeks and last 6 weeks (so 12 weeks total var, but I know that's long – open to shortening).
Found Dragon Pharma Anavar at a decent price. Question is – is their var actually oxandrolone or is it winstrol/dbol like some UGLs do? Anyone run recent batch with bloodwork or at least noticeable results?
Also – 50mg/day real var or should I go 40mg? I'm 210lbs, 12% bf.
Ran their var twice. Once two years ago, once six months ago. First batch was legit – veins popping, shoulder striations, strength up without bloat. Second batch felt weaker. Could be me, could be batch variance.
The biggest tell with var is back pumps and lipid crash. On real var at 50mg/day, you'll feel back pumps by day 4-5 just walking. HDL will drop to single digits within 2 weeks (not good but expected). I didn't get that on the second batch as much.
Dragon Pharma Anavar – recent batches seem inconsistent based on forum feedback I've seen. Some guys say it's g2g, others say underdosed by 50%. No recent Janoshik test posted anywhere I can find.
My advice: buy one sachet first, run 40mg/day for 2 weeks. If you don't feel back pumps or see vascularity increase, it's weak. Then decide if you buy more.
Also – 12 weeks var is too long. Your liver will be pissed and lipids will look like a heart attack waiting to happen. 6-8 weeks max. Run it weeks 6-12 of your test cycle so you're leaner when you add it.
I've tested Dragon Pharma Anavar with LabMax kit (not as good as Janoshik but better than nothing). Came back positive for oxandrolone but purity was maybe 70-80% based on reaction speed. No winstrol or dbol detected.
That matches what RAINier said – some batches are legit, some are underdosed but not faked with different compound.
@BioHazard03 – at 210lbs, you need 50-60mg/day of properly dosed var to feel it. If Dragon Pharma Anavar is 80% pure, that's like 40-48mg effective. I'd start 50mg and go to 60mg if no sides.
But here's the real issue – anavar is mild but it's still 17-alpha alkylated. Run TUDCA (500mg/day) + NAC (1200mg/day) from day 1. And get bloods before and after. Your HDL will tank. No way around it.
One more thing – var gives some guys appetite suppression. If that happens to you, drop to 40mg or split doses (25mg morning + 25mg evening). Don't starve yourself during a cut.
