Anavar is a great way to introduce yourself to the world of AAS. Cycles can be as long as 12 weeks or as short as 8 weeks. Dosages range from 5mg to 20mg (or 40 if you are a hardcore body builder..). It is recommended that if you are new you start your first week at 5mg split in half morning and evening. This is to keep your blood levels fairly steady as side effects will increase if you have spikes in levels. If 5mg is tolerated well then move up to 10mgs. Again split morning and evening so you will be taking 5mg in the am and 5mg in the pm. PCT is not normally discussed for women but it is an important part of the cycle especially if you start getting into some of the more advance stacks.
