I think my posing is a little off. The first one I think I look more muscular but that could also be because I'm holding more fat now since I have gained 15 pounds in my bulk. You can definitely see a gain in lat width and trap definition I think.
I'm going to keep on going with this var because I'm almost certain it's the real deal. My sources are trustworthy. Maybe I am gaining muscle and the scales aren't budging because I'm also losing body fat. I've also started taken creatine which can make you hold water so maybe that's aiding in 'weight gain'. It's only been a week on the var though and I've read it can take 3-4 weeks for noticeable changes.
