I really liked it. Ran 600mg primo and 60mg var. I think Var for 5-6 weeks and primo for about 10. Added about 12lb solid lean mass while getting significantly leaner. Much stronger also. Now I would add test into the mix.
Diet at the time was pretty good and training and cardio was solid.

saying you gained 12lbs of muscle while dieting?
Love var for cutters. On a very basic var+test-e I pretty much keep all the muscle and get leaner. That being said... $$

Var is great for women...for men I would suggest many other much more effective compounds if you are a BB. A simple cycle of 500mg test E or C would be very effective and maintain all your muscle.
PS. you dont build muscle while dieting...especially on primo and var!!

I agree 110 percent.. if youre like me and get no crazy sides from test, use it for cutting/bulking/whatever..... All i run is 500 mg/wk and maintain most if not all of my muscle

Well it was not really a diet to drop weight but a diet to add lean mass and improve body comp.
Before my cycle I was drinking a lot and eating a bunch of crap. Not too bad but desert every night etc. Also no cardio and no real additional protein intake.
The combo of cardio, fairly clean eating, a higher protein intake and no alcohol worked with the juice to help me gain size and lose fat. It was a major improvement imo but would have been really great if I could have gone about 20 weeks. With the var 4 weeks on 4 off.

what they were getting at is to gain muscle you have to be in a calorie surpless state.. to lose fat you have to be in a calorie deficit state.. that is why it is not possible to do both at the same time

well maybe you could stipulate that instead of letting people (esp. newbies and someone asking for direct feedback on a product) think what you gained was *new* LBM?
Context is everything.

There are several FAR superior substances then Anavar for cutting, but I don't know why it is being hated on so much in this thread. It is a VERY mild compound which is great if you are a very safety oriented user, and it represses your appetite making it easier to avoid the Golden Arches. It may be 17-alpha-alkylated which isn't great, but for people looking to maintain weight and increase strength and don't have access to several other, more harsh substances I would use it.

My favorites which I think are far more capable then Anavar as a cutting agent. (Not in any specific order)
-Masteron
-Prop
-Winstrol
-Clen
-Tren
If the OP is thinking of using any of these compounds or wants a comparison of them let me know I'll do a thread tomorrow don't have time to do a write up tonight.

I think people are misinterpreting what aas are used for in a diet. The idea of aas being used for cutting is very misleading. The fact is aas DO NOT burn fat what so ever. aas do a few things while dieting...keep androgen levels up to allow muscle mass maintenance, to allow BF oxidation by fooling the body that natural hormone levels are still high, add a cosmetic hardening effect which in turn gives the appearance of being leaner. To achieve all of these ends all one needs is a simple cycle of testosterone...an AI would assist in any estro related sides and if you get lean enough you will be hard as nails. Tren, Masteron, winny, etc are just finishing touches to an already lean and hard physique. Anavar does work (better than nothing) but in male BB it is a very weak androgen and if any of the above aas are used completely redundant. Thus it should not be ones aas of choice if BB is the end result.
P
PS. for women it is the aas of choice!
I like your posts Tex, I really do. at least someone reads them...i figured most had put me on ignore :)
