    Var ok for cutting and holding muscle ???

    Hey Bros I wanted to see if I wanted to cut some fat and keep the muscle I have would it be good to run a var only cycle. I was thinking that it would help maintain the muscle I have while trying to cut down for the summer? I know that all of this has to do with diet but the var should keep me form loosing muscle?

    Thanks

    What kind of pct is there for Var only cycle?

    Should the var be a 8 or 10 week cycle?

    Any idea how much BF can be lost with the diet and training be spot on?

    Should the var be a 8 or 10 week cycle? On its own, or with other compounds? It depends on your goals also.

    BOLDS.

    Swifto I appreciate your input. On the nolva are you saying use it during the cycle or just during the pct? I ask because if it is to use during the cycle I thought in the profile that is would not produce the estrogen sides. If nolva and clomid is to be used both for pct then I understand. Thanks Man

    Use it during PCT. It has no need whilst "on" as Anavar doesnt aromotase.

    I am running the same var only cycle (60mg ed - 8 weeks) and I am running my clen /ECA (alternating correctly) along with it...I have the same goals.

    how much cardio should I be doing? I have been steppin it up, goin just about every day i workout for 30 minutes fairly hard. I just want to make sure I don't overdo it and shrink. I am pretty lean (semi-vascular) everywhere except the waistline.

    any input?

    I you are looking to lose BF, there are better ways to go other than var if your blood pressure is ok-- clen for example.

    A ten week cycle at 60-80 mg ed and you could lose 20 pounds safely and add some lean muscle mass at the same time.

    that depends on your diet and cardio much more than the clen

    How much might not be the correct question.

    2 things that you have to take into effect here:
    1. Diet - the ratio of macros throughout the day
    2. And your target heart rate. 220-age=MHR then keep your heart rate at 65% of that number for 45-60 4-5 times a week

    Adjust the ratios and duration as needed to achive the goals through your cycle.

    A good balance of high intensity lifting and lower intensity cardio with a ECY/Clen cycle and proper diet while give you the results.

    Beast-

    Agree with this post, but clen gives you the energy and var makes it really fun to lift cause you are making progress for ten weeks.

    I know you have been working this for a while Beast. If you have your diet in control (clen destroys my appetite), have your cardio together twice a week and have fun lifting 4x a week. Yeah, knowing your stats, I would stand by 20 pounds in ten weeks. That is two pounds a week. A realistic, sane goal.

    If clen suppreses your appatite try using vitamine b12 worked like a charm for me
