Ok fellas so I added the var and everything was cool for about 3 days then I got the most horrific pumps iv ever experienced I was expecting the lower back pumps people talk about but I got pumps literally everywhere. Calfs, quads, groin, lower back, lats, shoulders, chest, even neck. The lat pumps were probably the worse especially when they hit out of no where and I’m in public and I have to grab on to something and contort my body in crazy ways trying to work them out.
So I added taurine at 12-15G/day taking 3G every few hours. This has made a world of difference I was skeptical at first because I wasn’t sure anything could get rid of them but it’s made it almost non exsistant except in the morning when I wake up my legs and groin are very tight and pumped for whatever reason which takes about 20 mins to work out.
Moving on to the next sorta issues iv noticed and that’s my erection quality when jacking it. It’s almost like I am not as mentally stimulated by porn and I just crave the real thing it still gets up but after about 5 minutes it starts to slack on me. As for the real thing everything is still working great altho the tren makes doing work in the bedroom a serious task especially sense my wife is 7-8 months pregnant I’m left doing most of the work so I find my self getting winded when normally sex never winds me. But my wife understands so she allows frequent water breaks and what not.
Now let’s discuss the positives. I didn’t think it was possible for me to get any drier right now and harder with all the mast and tren I’m using but the var has made that possible especially tightening up the mid section and has made my legs extremely vascular (I am not and never have been a vascular person). I can’t really say what affect the anavar is having in the gym as far as strength sense I’m not a PR type lifter I lift more along a body building routine but visually it’s def noticeable and appealing.
So far weight is sitting at 235-236 body fat has dropped a nice amount I will know for sure after cycle when I get tested. Training is still 6x week diet is extremely strict iv never been a big track my diet type of guy but I decided sense I was gonna try my first recomp to go all out so really been tracking macros/meal prepping. I eat like a dog 99% of the time in the sense I eat the same shit day after day. Same breakfast same post workout same mid day meal same dinner.
Breakfast is generally grits, egg whites, turkey sauagse, or oatmeal and eggwhites.
Post workout is white rice and chicken
Mid day is more white rice and chicken
Dinner is usually turkey burgers and eggs or some other protien with fats but very low carb.
As you will notice breakfast is simple or complex carbs (depending on day and what I’m training) protien and very little fats. Followed by post workout and mid day which are simple carbs and protein and little to no fat. Then dinner which is protein and fat and little to no carb. This equates to about a 60/30/10 of macros
On my off day this changes carbs take a backseat and I increase fats because I drop calories so it helps me feel fuller on less.
I do have “cheat meals” every once in a while I don’t believe in cheat days as they just lead to feeling like shit but if I’m taking my wife out to eat il have a cheat meal which still isn’t anything extravagant it doesn’t involve half the dessert menu it just isn’t clean food.
I think that about covers everything blood pressure is still slightly elevated but nothing out of my comfort zone. About to run some liver panels and CBC to see where my numbers are at and will update with results
One more thing the heartburn on this cycle has been crazy I’m up to 2-3 zantac 150s a day currently.
