Loving my BD var!

7 days on BD var as of today. These are the older 5mg orange BD tabs...I've had them waiting for me for months I'm doing 30mg/day split 10mg every 8 hours with 1/2 a fresh grapefruit. I'm also taking ~15g creatine/day from V12 and plain creatine monohydrate. I'm training for triathlons so i actually only lift 2x per week but I also swim ~1000-1500m twice, run 6-12 miles twice, and bike 18-25 miles twice a week...~8 workouts each week total. I started at 174lbs last Monday and was ~180 today. I've tried creatine several times before and never got much of anything. I don't feel or look bloated at all so I'm not thinking I have too much water retention from the creatine either. I had a great workout in the gym today...althoug relatively short. First time I've ever felt a real pump in my chest from benching.

I made a few basic chages to my standard diet. I added 1 cup whole oats to my morning 50g prot shake, added a can of tuna betwen breakfast and lunch (I already had 2 snacks...fruits and nuts...between breakfast and lunch), and added 1 cup of brown rice to dinner which is typically a large chicked breast, some type of steamed veggies, and a big spinach salad. I take one serving of v12 with breakfast and one during my workout.

I'll update the thread each week for the 6 weeks I'll be on.

you are 1 active mofo! make sure you get plenty of rest.diet looks right on too, sounds like you are gonna be good to go!Good luck

Tell me about it...The Saturday morning 12 mile runs are a b*tch...I also have a 1/2 marathon coming up in Sept so I need the longer run. Depending on how things go over the nex 2-3 weeks I might change things up a little and cut my calories and add clen to the end of the var cycle to really rip up. I was only looking to get 5-8lbs of solid lean mass out of this when all was said and done.

wow sound good jobu keep upt he good work your gonna love youe results var is a wonderful thing

I've said it before and I'll say it again, var is unparalleled for strength gains IMO, and I love your avatar.

strength is fleeting. update us on lean mass gained & maintained on the var.

i was using 40mg a day papervar (plus 150 mg test ew) as a quasi-bridge or cruise off a cycle, and it seemed like i gained more solid mass on that than the cycle.

his price on paperprimo and liquid primo are enough to make me vomit

triathlons are fucking killer man. My cousin runs marathons in New York or wherever they may be. He also does triathlons.

I think the running would be hardest for me, because I used to swim.

If you can even finish a triathlon, much less the IronMan, you deserve an award.

hey what r you planning to do for pct?

I just started tris this summer but I've been a runner for 15 years. Just doing sprint distance this season (1km swim, 20km bike, 5km run). Next year I'll mix in some olympic distance (about 2x the sprint distance). My goal is to finish an IronMan in 5 years. The swimming kills me because I sink like an F-ing rock
