My Anavar Prohormone Review: Does Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Live Up to the Hype?

I have been in the supplement industry for almost 15 years now. It's been a very long time. I was around when prohormones were methylated, dangerous and oh so much fun. But that all ended back in 2012 with the ban (illegal use) on all methylated anabolics...or I thought.

While Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals was big then, they are even bigger now. They are the top manufacturer of legal prohormones and legal muscle builders in the industry today. The products and the deliverability system are part of the reason they are some of the only supplements I take.

Today, I wanted to take some time to review my experience taking Anavar, one of the most popular prohormones from Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals (you can get this legally and without a prescription). And please read that again, this is the prohormone, not the illegal steroid. Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals owns the copyright, so they get to call this product by that name. I just don't want to cause any confusion.

Why I Decided to Try Anavar?

While the name itself makes you curious, it has always been one of the most popular prohormones we sell here at Supplement Warehouse. Most users like the leaner gains and increases in strength, but also like that it also has some natural ingredients as well. Why did you think you have to take 6 tablets per day! But more on the ingredients below. Anyway, I wanted to try this out, being 46, with dwindling t-levels (still in the 500's), I am always looking to some sort of advantage at the gym and in life. Anavar was my next experiment for this.

The Ingredients

Unlike the other prohormones that Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals sells, Anavar is a big blend. You get a ton of ingredients in this product. So let's go through each one of them.

So now do you understand? A ton of stuff packed into this formula. But that doesn't scare me, I am ready!

My Planned Cycle

Goal was to build lean muscle mass and some strength through bodybuilding. Not looking to bulk up. Just improve my physique's look. Here's how the dosage looks for all the products I will be taking.

• Anavar 3 Tablets Twice Per day
• Cycle Would be 60 Days (Two Bottles)
• On Cycle Support is Liver-Rx
• Never Had Issues with Estrogen so no AI or Estrogen Blocker Ran
• PCT would Be Arimiplex and Turkesterone 650
• Thought About Deca-Durabolin, but Decided to Just Run Anavar

Age: 45
Height: 6'0"
Training: 15 Years
Workout Schedule: 5 Days a Week (No Cardio lol)
Current Weight: 192
Bodyfat: 13%
Diet: 200 Grams of Protein Per Day
Other Supplements: Creatine Gummies, Precision Protein, Musclevite Vitamins, Cyto Greens

First Thoughts

I was happy I didn't have to take all 6 tablets at the same time, though I am pretty used to taking a lot of supplements. I popped three of these horse pills at around 5:30am with some breakfast, and then another three tablets around 4:30pm before my workout. I tried to get as close to 12 hours as possible (as I believe that is close to the half life), in order to have that even absorption. No problems at all. No upset stomach. No issues taking them. All good.

Liver Rx was taken three times per day, once every 8 hours.

TIP: You should be taking Anavar twice per day even on rest days. Same with Liver-Rx.

When Did I First Start Seeing Results & Benefits

Now with all prohormones, you should be taking it for 60 days. Normally that requires two bottles. The same with Anavar.

With most prohormones, I normally start seeing results around 3 weeks in. Anavar was no different. The pumps, muscle hardness and strength came first. It felt great too. Especially the pumps. No pump pre-workout was needed when I took these before my workouts.

This is a big reason why we tell people not to run any prohormone for 30 days. It's just too short. You are going to get the full effects in that short of time.

When Did It Really Hit!

Week 5 was awesome. That's when I actually saw legit changes in the mirror. I was leaner than normal, but harder and my weight was at 195lbs. While people use it to gain lean muscle, I would probably call it a recomping prohormone based on these results. I not only felt great, but I looked great.

Now my diet was strict as well during this cycle, so I can't say this was solely from the prohormone, but a mix of diet and Anavar does a body good.

I believe it was around this same time that I was called on in our Facebook group for taking TRT. While a complete lie (though when my levels get low enough, I will definitely take it, it's not my time yet), it showed that the Anavar was working and people, just seeing me in a video, noticed the difference.

Last Week on Anavar & Final Results

I was really sad during the last week of my cycle. I soooo much wanted to extend the cycle longer, but just like I tell our customers, stay safe and don't go past 8 weeks. I was looking pretty great at 8 weeks. The only set back I had was getting sick for about 3 days and missing the gym during that time.

I felt great the past few weeks. Amazing workouts, really dense hard muscle, and strength on all lifts went up. Such an endorphin kick. 

Final Results

Final Weight: 197
Bodyfat: 11%

As you can see, not only did I gain 5 pounds of muscle, I dropped 2% bodyfat as well. Not bad for 60 days. And don't forget, during this time I felt absolutely amazing. That's worth it right there.

Where are the before and after pictures? Sorry, I am not one that posts body pictures. You can always check out the Youtube channel to see what I look like.

Now these are just my results. You may see something similar or way different than me. Everyone is different.

Did I Notice Any Side Effects?

None, zero. I expected some acne or extra aggression. At 46 though, I have been stressed and am always stressed with life, work etc so it was a normal 60 days in that sense. No estrogen sides, even without the estrogen blocker. No sleep issues, though I never took them right before bed. Latest was about 5pm.

Hairloss is always a question. I'm older. I am used to some hairloss. But I didn't see any additional shedding with during this cycle.

PCT: Keep Those Gains

As I always tell customers, take your PCT (Post Cycle Therapy). Not only will it help get your estrogen levels balanced, your testosterone levels back to normal, but it will keep you feeling good and help you hold onto those gains you made.

I took Arimiplex (as usual) stacked with Turkesterone 650. I like adding Turkesterone 650 because its a natural muscle builder and I like continuing to build muscle even after prohormones. Now I take 4 tablets per day of it, gets expensive, but thats how I see the best results.

While I only take the Arimiplex PCT for 30 days, I continue the Turkesterone until my next cycle.

Common Questions About Anavar

Being in the industry so long, I do get a lot of questions about Anavar. I wanted to answer a few year before you have to go elsewhere to find them.

Is Anavar a Steroid?
Yes, the prohormone shares a name with the steroid. However, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals does own the trademark.

Can Women Take Anavar?
The steroid and the prohormone should not be taken by women. But Anavar is so popular with women because all they have to do is pop a tablet to get amazing results. Not safe though.

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed Anavar. If I planned on doing another "recomp" cycle, I would probably run it again, but possibly stacking it with something such as Decabolin, Trenabol or Osta-Plex. It might help drive a little more dry muscle mass to my results. But overall, this is definitely something I would recommend to beginners, and only to advanced users if they stacked it with something else.
