Recomp on Var..???

[SmallieBigs]

Heya! Unfortunatly my next planned cycle needs to be put off at least a week or 2... out of town lots and sick to boot (not to mention waitin' for the gf to pop out daddy's lil girl).....

Anyays, couldn't convince my bro to add in test, so he's doin' var only (for 8-10 wks)... He's in pretty good shape (5'11, 180-185, about 14 % i'd guess)... he wants to recomp a bit (really add some lean muscle, which should make him look leaner too i guess). Asked for my advice on a type of training, as his routine seems to have stalled... I suggested trying DC or 5x5 for a change... sound right?

if its his 1st cycle test is the way to go...he may be disappointed with Var
but the advice to go DC or 5x5 is good...

he actually has quite a bit of experience with aas... not tons, but he's done 2 or 3 cycles with test etc.... more than me... lol..

don't know, says he's heard good things about var only cycles (i've actually heard a bit of ok things said too, but in high doses 80mg/day and up... he plans on 60mg/day i believe)... i dunno why he wants to steer clear of test this time as var is more expensive (if that was it) and not as beneficial... i think he just wants to see how he reacts to just var, idk... i don't even know why he's askin' for my advice, never seems to take it when it comes to diet (he's afraid of gettin' fat so never puts on much, and has trouble keepin' gains).... guess i should tell him to try p90x and see what happens eh? lol

i did the wsb for skinny bastards as a warmup to this jim wendler 5/3/1 program and it is the shit.....ive dropped some bf and i am gettin brutal strong on my big 4 lifts.....ive done dc and 5x5, both for extended periods ( over a year on dc ) and they worked great....you gotta stick with the dc for a while for it to be really effective imo.....body recomp on var happens at higher doses, he'd be better served adding in a low dose of test ( 300-400 wk )......

[SmallieBigs]

nice.... wsb? 5/3/1? not familiar... and ya, personally i found dc to take a while to really start adding for me.... i doubt he'll reconsider and use test too... he's stubborn, like most of us i guess... we'll see... thanks... think i'll just start doin' 5x5 with him and see how he does on that...

Not to be rude but if you read IM you will realize DC is not for people who are "5'11, 180-185, about 14 %" after several cycles.

5x5 or WSFSB might be a better template for someone with this type of training background.
