Does Anavar cause an increase in water retention?

[FH93]

I'm running 150mg Test E cruise and have been cutting for a couple weeks now. I've been consistently losing weight day by day and a few days back I introduced 40mg Anavar split into 20mg AM/PM. Since adding it in, my weight has crept upwards, and I wanted to know if that's to be expected.

As far as I was aware, Anavar was a dry compound and didn't really affect water weight. I am 99% sure the weight difference has nothing to do with my diet especially since the weight increase happened right after introducing the oral, but I wanted to check just in case.

Yes it causes water and glycogen retention in muscle cells but not subcutaneous water retention like Dbol does. I tried Anavar while cruising once too and my weight went up by ~2kg despite eating at maintenance. It can also increase E2 a bit (not much) by crushing SHGB which makes more free test available for aromatization

It’s likely increased glycogen synthesis which means more water intramuscularly, which is exactly where you want it, as muscle is mostly water anyway. Don’t forget, it’s an anabolic steroid. Key word anabolic. It was created to treat muscle wasting / cachexia so it’s doing its job. You’ll keep losing on the scale over time but this is to be expected.

you are experiencin nitrogen glykogen and other fluff weight, thats why it gives that hard veiny look, like 24/7 pump kind of.

Fake anavar may be its dbol

That's fine, thank you for your response. I figured as much and knew that if I waited a few weeks I'd have still seen an overall decrease in weight but it's good to have it verified.

The same would be true if it was dbol or Anadrol. Diet is what makes the difference. You can cut on any compound. Obviously some are more preferred than others but just remember the golden era. Deca primo dbol. And not a bloated face / gut in sight

No

Perfectly moral for scale to go up a little bit when starting anavar. It’s the extra glycogen and such stored in the muscles. It shouldn’t be causing any sort of bloat/water retention outside of that. Every time I start anavar, scale weight goes up ~3lbs fairly quickly but I just look harder

I was a very long Time in a deficit, than i Switched to a Reverse Diet. Now in a 300 kcal Surplus. Same Time i used 10mg Anavar as a preworkout only on Trainingdays. I can say it works realy good. The Fullness of increased glycogen synthesis holding for many days. Everytime i eat carbs and Drink Water, hours later i look very Full. Is it possible to use this Routine for months? Or will it decrase the kidney and Lipids ? Eating very clean and Drink lot of water.

If doing it daily even at 10 it will have some impact on lipids but how much varies from Person to person. As the dosage and frequency of use increases, so too will the lipid impact. I wish it were not so. I would run it 40-50 mg per day all year. But it absolutely crushed my HDL. At 10 mg pre workout 2-3 days per week you may get away with it.

Thanks for the fast answer. Yes i was thinking it too. That the impact would not to hard on Lipids, when using it only on Trainingdays. 2-3 days peer Week.

I believe you, that you would use it at 40-50 mg per day all year. It is feels amazing, at low Dose too.
