My Var cycle

The cycle was great, 11 weeks long. I started off at 10mg/day, then upped it to 15mg/day but then the gains were coming on fast after about week four to five so brought it back down to 10mg/day. As far as side effects go, I got a little bit of acne, which bothered me as I have never had acne before but it was actually mild....other than that no other sides that I am aware of.
Ok so here are my stats, I am unsure of body fat though but my jeans still fit even with the muscle gain so it sounds pretty good to me.
Before:
Biceps Left 27 cm Right 28 cm
Shoulders Left and right 31.5 cm
Chest (and no, not my boobs) 88 cm
Calves Left and right 34 cm
Thighs 56 cm
Weight 54 kg, height 1.55m
After:
Biceps Left 30.5 cm Right 31 cm
Shoulders Left and right 37 cm
Chest (and no, not my boobs) 92 cm
Calves Left and right 36 cm
Thighs 56 cm (remained the same)
Weight 61 kg
So all in all, I gained 6-7 kg of lean muscle mass. My legs not too great but I have knee injuries so I take it easy. Shoulders showed great progress, biceps grew an inch and evened out. :nana2 :nana :rotfl :bounce :dance :tonguehands

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

And on low dosages very nice!
Is acne normal when taking var? Or only in rare cases?
The mind works like a parachute, best when open.

LP Var
@Juicy
The Var is androgenic and will also interfere with my lady hormones. But I didn't get acne to a large extent, it was mild
@djeasye
Yes Im a tiny little shit :laugh:
Thanx guys for all the great responses!

Only back work i did was lower back and upper back on the incline rows and lat pull down. On push days I do double shoulder press, deltoids, triceps (tricep push downs) and pecks (pectoral fly). Three sets until failure (8-12 reps). On pull days I do lat pull downs, reverse grip, bicep curls (sitting and free standing), incline rows and upright rows (reps and sets as for push). Legs, i dont do much, my knees click so mostly just calves, Donkey calves and abs. So weight training 3-4 times/week. Cardio four-five times a week and includes 45-60 min bike or swimming.
Cardio in the mornings on an empty stomach, weight training in the evenings and sometimes cardio (20 min) in the evenings following weight training.
Supplements and compounds
Other compounds I used was Clen, cycled it two weeks on and off.
Supplements included glutamine, taurine, milk thistle, multi vit, Vitamin C, omega oils and calcium carbonate.
Diet
In terms of diet, the calories were not as high as I wanted them to be but I was able to still grow so its all good. I aimed for 150-180 g protein per day, fat mostly from peanut butter and olive oil (amounts differed each day) and I kept a low carb diet (enough carb not to go into ketogenesis), approximately 50-70 g per day and no carbs after 5-6pm. Diet mostly clean and green. Tons of veggies and chicken breasts ( :X, I dont think i can keep the chicken down for much longer).
Carbs were low Gi carbs: Oats, brown rice, weet-bix. Protein came from whey, cottage cheese and chicken (no fish for me :X :X :X :X :X :X)

Your gains looks impressive, well done. Yes, what about some pics? I am eager to see the increase on your chest (and NO not the boobs) :haha
If everybody does it, is it still cheating?
