I have cycled var a few different ways in the past to experiment with it. In the begining it was primo/var ONLY, no test, but always took a small dose of proviron and that took care of the absence of test. This way you get the ultimate rock hard look, with excellent vascularity, sort of like a good tren/prop cycle, but with none of the harsh sides, ie:insomnia, night sweats, high BP, etc. My lipids stay in check, but dont take that as gospel, I have seen several friends over the years get their lipids totally blown out of proportion on var, where it doesn't do that with me.
Secondly I have run primo/var with a test base of 500mg/week, EXCELLENT as well, cause of the arimotase not quite as hard and veiny, but none the less an excellent cycle. If you're looking for the least sides, just run the proviron, worked great for me, no libido issues, pct was a snap, same steady dose of all compounds 10 weeks.
