Anavar (Oxandrolone) is universal oral steroid. Therefore, one can do Anavar cycle both for bulking and cutting purposes. Moreover, unlike other steroids, it is suitable for female athletes.
In this article we will discuss how to do Oxandrolone cycles.
The properties of Anavar

Since manufacturers produce Anavar in different doses, ranging from 5mg to 50mg, the scheme of Anavar intake may vary. Taking into account the half-life and the dosage one should take from 2 to 4 tabletes a day at regular intervals.
Usually the duration of the cycle is 4-8 weeks. However, some professional bodybuilders do 3-month cycle.
Anavar cycle for bulking
Although Anavar is not a powerful steroid for mass gaining purposes, it is very good in creating high quality lean muscles. Besides the gained muscle mass does not disappear after the cycle, due to the absence of water retention. Therefore, solo Anavar cycle is good for those who don’t need excessive muscle mass (especially women), but want to improve its quality and increase strength.

Anavar dosage
As we said above the length of Anavar cycle for men is 8 weeks, meanwhile women can do the cycle for 6-8 weeks. After the cycle you should avoid taking any 17-alpha alkylated steroids until your liver enzymes normalize.
Usually men take 10mg – 100mg / day, and women 2.5mg -20mg /day. Some athletes do much higher doses, however it increases the risks of side effects. You should start with low dose (20mg/day for men, 2.5mg/day for women) and gradually increase it during your cycle.
Anavar combinations
Due to very low androgenic and estrogenic side effects, Anavar goes well with almost all steroids. However, the most common Anavar combination for males is with testosterone. It also makes good combination with Winstrol, Masteron and Primobolan.

Anavar PCT
Although Anavar belongs to a group of safe steroids, you should do post cycle therapy if the length of your cycle exceeds 4 weeks. No matter what steroid you use, PCT is a “must do”, since you take excessive amount of hormones.
Usually Clomid and Nolvadex are used for PCT in this case.

| WEEK | DOSAGE |
| Week 1 | 150mg/day |
| Week 2 | 75mg/day |
| Week 3 | 50mg/day |
| Week 4 | 40-20mg/day |
NOLVADEX
| WEEK | DOSAGE |
| Week 1 | 40mg/day |
| Week 2 | 30mg/day |
| Week 3 | 20-10mg/day |
| Week 4 | 10mg/day |
As a rule, females do not experience side effects after Oxandrolone intake, however in case of high doses and long cycles (more than 8 weeks) the side effects may show up. This happens due to fluctuation of hormone levels after discontinuation.
Therefore, women can reduce the occurrence of side effects by gradually reducing dosage at the end of a cycle.
