Anavar (Oxandrolone) is one of the most popular oral steroids for cutting, strength gains, and recomposition. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced user, running an Anavar cycle can help boost performance without the harsh side effects associated with other compounds.

Developed in the 1960s, Anavar is a synthetic anabolic steroid derived from DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It’s renowned for being mild on the liver and low in androgenic side effects. Anavar is commonly used by both men and women due to its safety profile and lean muscle preservation during caloric deficits.

  • Cycle Length: 6–8 weeks
  • Dosage: 30–80 mg/day
  • Stack Option: Testosterone Enanthate or Winstrol for enhanced results
  • Cycle Length: 4–6 weeks
  • Dosage: 5–20 mg/day (start low and taper up)
  • Goal: Fat loss, muscle tone, and performance enhancement


For recomposition or cutting, Anavar is often paired with:



According to a PubMed study on oxandrolone in burn patients, Anavar significantly improves muscle mass and nitrogen balance, even in catabolic states. This supports its use for cutting while preserving muscle tissue.

Although Anavar is mild, a short post-cycle therapy (PCT) is recommended for men using higher doses or stacking it with suppressive compounds. Women typically don’t need PCT unless stacking with androgens.

The Anavar cycle offers a safe and effective route to lean muscle, fat loss, and strength without the bloat or aggression of more potent steroids. With proper dosing, stacking, and PCT, Anavar remains a staple in both beginner and advanced cutting programs.
