So it's day 33 and my cramping has gone way down since I dropped the dosage from 20 to 15mg/day. My lifts are still up and the only bad sides I've experienced are a little acne and my hair grows really fast (leg hair, eye brows, head hair)... I haven't grown any hair other than where I've always...
Okay cool. As long as I'm not experiencing someone unheard of :)
Edit: I ran 3 miles today and it was excruciating. I've always been able to run my 3-mile route very easily but my muscles were incredibly tight today. I'm glad I decreased my dose!
Thanks for the tips guys. I've heard that you lean out a lot after var... and I'm wondering if my gains are normal. I weighed myself today and clock in at 156?!?!?!?! I've put on ~11 pounds more or less... in 4 weeks. I'm not sure if this is normal. I'm not eating enough to gain this much.
Okay. Starting today I'm going down to 15. I can hardly do cardio anymore, my muscles get so tight, and it's really important to my training I think. I'll do a half in the morning and a quarter at night. I did legs at the gym today. Squats at 185x6 and my leg press is 6 plates on each side...
So here are pictures from today. This is 22 days into my cycle. I've gained a lot of strength, some size, but experienced no significant fat loss. I've been getting an adequate amount of calories (about maintenance) and supplementing cardio with my lifting sessions. I lift 6 days a week.
So it's day 22 this morning and my muscles are sooo tight. The past couple days I've been waking up so stiff and having to stretch before even beginning my day. I'm hoping I'll still be able to continue doing cardio. My muscles are also really hard... like rocks almost. I've become only slightly...
I haven't noticed anything yet, but I'm 2.5 weeks in so who knows. I'm generally not a hairy person, but I wouldn't doubt it with 20 mg/day. Thanks for the tips guys!
Legs was today and I bumped up my squat 10 lbs to 185. I put up 5 reps. I'm still running every day, but I have to stretch...
Thank you cml0915!!
I've realized this and I'm going to stick with 20 mg. Going above that isn't an option for me anymore, I won't risk it. In other news, I had a fabulous chest day and did an intense hour of high intensity cardio. I think I've also begun experiencing my first negative side...
Thank you for all the posts. I'm really happy to get opinions from different people. It really helps! Today is easter Sunday, and also officially the end of my second week on var. I didn't exactly stick to clean eating today, but I didn't really intend to because of the holiday. It was my day...
