E. 73 Every Question You Have About Anavar (Part 2)

In this episode of the Self Selecting Podcast, I break down everything you need to know about Anavar (Oxandrolone)—one of the most widely discussed performance-enhancing drugs in the female fitness space. This solo episode covers the who, what, when, how, and how much of Anavar use, especially for female athletes and competitors. I share first-hand experience, client observations, safety guidelines, and sourcing strategies, all while emphasizing risk tolerance, proper timing, and long-term physique planning.


Whether you’re a bikini competitor, lifestyle athlete, or coach, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you make informed, responsible choices.


Key Topics Covered:

- Who Anavar is intended for and why it's often misused

- Anavar for non-competitors: is it ever a good idea?

- What Anavar actually does (and doesn’t do)

- How competitors use Anavar in prep vs. offseason

- Safe dosing ranges and how long you should run it

- Risks of long-term or high-dose use (including virilization)

- How to know when to stop using Anavar

- How to source it safely and test your compound

- Why bloodwork before, during, and after is essential

- How many cycles it takes to build a pro-level physique (and the dangers of rushing it)
