1. Introduction to Anavar
   
   Anavar, also known as oxandrolone, is a synthetic derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It was first introduced in the 1960s for medical applications such as treating muscle wasting and promoting weight gain after surgery or severe trauma. In bodybuilding circles, Anavar has gained a reputation for producing lean muscle growth with minimal water retention. Its relatively low androgenic activity makes it an attractive option for both men and women who are sensitive to typical anabolic steroids.
   
2. Anavar 2019 Guide – Cycle
   
   Cycle Length: The most common cycle length recommended in 2019 was 6–8 weeks, but a two‑month (eight‑week) cycle is often used by advanced users seeking more pronounced results.
   
   
   Pre‑Cycle Preparation:
   
   Health Check: Before starting any steroid, it’s essential to have baseline bloodwork including liver function tests and lipid panels. Supplements: A basic stack of a multivitamin, omega‑3 fatty acids, and a good protein source should be maintained.

During the Cycle (Weeks 1–8):
Weekly Injections or Oral Doses? Anavar is primarily available in oral form. If opting for injections, a common practice is to split the weekly dose into two injections (e.g., 10 mg each on Monday and Thursday). Monitoring: Weekly check‑ins with a healthcare professional are advised to monitor liver enzymes and blood pressure changes.

1. Dosage Recommendations
   
   Men:
   
   Beginner: 20–30 mg per day for the first 4 weeks, then increase to 40 mg/day for the final 4 weeks. Intermediate/Advanced: 30–40 mg per day consistently throughout the cycle.

Women:
Lower doses are required due to a higher sensitivity to androgenic effects. A typical dosage is 5–10 mg per day, with careful monitoring of estrogenic side effects such as water retention.

Timing and Stacking:
Taking Anavar in the morning can help align its peak activity with training sessions. It is often stacked with other compounds like Primobolan or Winstrol for synergistic muscle growth, but caution is advised to avoid excessive liver strain.
