I have done 5 var cycles use do to them when training for a bout last cycle did it at 40mg for 9 weeks with 10 grams of creatine and gained 12lbs the other 4 never gained anything but gave me great strength and energy had to maintain my weight so I wasn't trying to gain. Is this your buddies 1st cycle? At 30mg's and a good diet will lean him up and put on great srength gains.
Yeah, this will be his first cycle. He knows hes oblivious to use injectables, but wants to do an orally only first to lean up. So I'll put him on anavar 30mgED for 8 weeks. Keep the creatine intake high.
