I'll just share my experience with how I used Anavar previously.

Back in the day, when I was dieting to do a show, I used Anavar towards the end of my cycle/diet. I felt the Anavar helped with my strength towards the end of my diet when I was a bit depleted/fatigued from dieting.

For me, Anavar was great for my strength. Two weeks out from my show, and down 18 lbs, I was still incline benching 315 lbs for 2 sets of 5 reps at a bodyweight of 205 lbs, which was good for me. FWIW - I've never been a big bencher.

That's just my experience.
