Anavar. Unlike most oral steroids, which are Class II steroids giving most
of their anabolic effect by means other than the androgen receptor (AR), it
seems that oxandrolone probably does have good binding to the AR, and is
therefore a Class I steroid, while having little other effect. By itself it
is considered to be a weak anabolic.
Partly this is due to its apparent lack of non-AR-mediated activity. This
can be corrected of course by stacking with a Class II steroid such as
Dianabol, Anadrol®, 4-AD, or nor-4-AD: the latter two steroids require high
blood levels which are not obtained by oral use of the powders.
The other part of the reason for this is that bodybuilders make unfortunate
and unreasonable comparisons when judging anabolic steroids. If say 8
tablets per day does little, then the drug is pronounced useless or weak by
the user. But that is only 20 mg/day, or 140 mg/week. Does 140 mg/week
testosterone give much results? No. Few anabolic steroids give dramatic
results at that dose. Per milligram the potency is reasonable, but each
individual tablet is weak because the dosage is small.
Because of its high price, very few bodybuilders have taken large doses of
oxandrolone. There is a single case in the medical literature (Forbes et
al.) where it is reported that a competitive athlete self-administered 150
mg oxandrolone per day with remarkable gains. This is of uncertain
credibility because unless urinalysis was done to verify that no other
steroids were taken, there is no way to be certain that the athlete did not
actually take more drugs than he reported. In any case, at current prices,
only the quite wealthy could afford such a dose. I personally have tried 150
mg/day and considered it somewhat effective, but not dramatically so, and
not a preferred regimen.
Oxandrolone does not aromatize or convert to DHT, and has a longer half life
than Dianabol - 8 hours vs. 4 hours. Thus, a moderate dose taken in the
morning is largely out of the system by night, yet supplies reasonable
levels of androgen during the day and early evening.
Oxandrolone shares the liver toxicity problems common to 17-alkylated
steroids. At one time it was thought that it did not, but both clinical and
practical experience with Oxandrin has shown that at doses of 40 mg/day and
higher, liver toxicity is indeed an issue with prolonged use.
Primobolan, I believe, should be considered a superior compound, offering
the same activity at (usually) a lower price and without the
alkylated-toxicity issue.
