**Quick‑Reference Guide – "4‑Day" Anavar (Oxandrolone) Cycle**
| Section | Key Points |
|---------|------------|
| **What is it?** | 5 mg oxandrolone tablets (Anavar®). A synthetic anabolic steroid that’s legal only with a prescription. |
| **Why people use it in 4 days** | • Rapid muscle "hardening" before an event
• Low risk of androgenic side‑effects at low dose
• Quick to start/stop (no long half‑life). |
| **Typical Schedule** | **Day 1–4:** 5 mg in the morning (or split 2.5 mg AM & PM) – total 20 mg per cycle.
Some add a "maintenance" day 5‑7 with 5 mg, but many stop after Day 4. |
| **Key Points** | • Never exceed 20 mg in the first week.
• Avoid stacking with other steroids unless you’re an experienced user.
• If you plan a "cycle" of >1 week, use a tapering protocol (e.g., 5 mg/Day for 2 weeks → 2.5 mg/Day for 1‑2 weeks). |
| **Side Effects** | • Mildest: water retention, mild estrogenic effects.
• With repeated high doses: gynecomastia, oily skin, increased appetite.
• Long‑term: potential liver strain (though lower than older compounds). |
| **Post‑Cycle Therapy (PCT)** | If you’ve taken >4 weeks or used higher than 200 mg/day for any period, consider a short course of:
- **Clomiphene citrate** (50 mg PO BID) for 2–3 weeks.
- **Tamoxifen** (20 mg PO BID) for 1 week (optional).
These help restore natural testosterone production. |
| **Monitoring** | • Baseline labs: CBC, CMP, lipid profile, fasting glucose, thyroid panel, PSA (if >40).
• Repeat after 3–6 months if you are using higher doses or longer duration.
• Watch for symptoms of anemia, hypertension, hepatic dysfunction, or worsening cholesterol. |
| **Lifestyle Factors** | • Adequate sleep (7–9 hrs/night).
• Regular resistance training and cardio.
• Maintain healthy weight; avoid excess sugar/fruits if you have metabolic issues.
• Balanced diet rich in protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients. |
| **When to Seek Professional Guidance** | • If experiencing symptoms like fatigue, depression, or decreased libido.
• If you plan to use doses > 200 mg/day for extended periods (>6–12 months).
• When you have underlying conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes). |

### Practical Tips & Decision Checklist
| **Question** | **Answer** | **Action** |
|--------------|------------|-----------|
| Do I want a natural rise in testosterone or just normalizing it? | Natural increase → Use low‑dose daily or weekly. | Start 20–30 mg/day or 50 mg/2 weeks. |
| Am I concerned about side effects like gynecomastia or water retention? | Yes → Prefer short, lower doses and avoid high peak levels. | Stick to ≤30 mg/day; monitor for estrogenic symptoms. |
| Do I have any hormone‑sensitive conditions (e.g., prostate issues)? | Yes → Discuss with a doctor first. | Consider alternative therapies. |
| Will I be using supplements that also boost testosterone? | Yes → May reduce the need for high doses of Tribulus. | Combine cautiously; monitor total effect. |

## Bottom Line
- **Tribulus terrestris** is more effective when taken at **higher daily doses (≥100 mg)** and consistently over a period of **at least 8–12 weeks**.
- **Trigonella foenum-graecum** shows the most robust benefits, especially at higher doses (≥500 mg) and longer use, with fewer adverse effects compared to Tribulus.
- For those seeking natural testosterone enhancement, consider combining Tribulus or Trigonella with a well‑structured diet, adequate sleep, and regular resistance training for maximal benefit.
