Anavar isn't very androgenic.
It's also really expensive, and although not one of the worst out there, it is hepatoxic. The doses that are used therapeutically for women with bone pain and little kids coming through chemotherapy are quite small, so the hepatoxicity problem isn't a biggie, but for a man to get any kind of gain, he's going to have to take enough to shut down his own testosterone before anything else will be added, and that makes the hepatoxicity at least a bit more of a concern.
The higher your own test is naturally (which it is, you're still a young man), the more gear you'll have to run to make it worth shutting down your own production.
Then you'll have to run it long enough to be worth it, since your own production will take time to get started once you end your cycle. You'll lose a lot of your gains while you wait for your boys to kick in, so you better get some good gains while you're on, right?
This is not an anti-AAS board, okay? You'll see good advice all over the place. We have nothing to gain or lose personally by telling you the truth here, which is to sit tight for a bit, do some reading, fix up your training, figure out your OWN diet, and plan this out properly rather than jumping on something you think will be okay because it's "mild".
