Im guessing they are saying its a bad stack because you have no source of test in your cycle. I would go with test and var over masteron and var. I know a friend that weighed 189lbs starting off with test and var and went up over 200 easily and is cut as hell. Like they said you need to read the profiles and learn what goes best with masteron, just because you want a lean bulk doesnt mean you cant have test in your cycle. Use a anti-e to keep down the water bloat its very simple.
