redsquirrel, answer to some of your questions... I asked for the Var, someone recommend the doc to me and I ran with it.

I am still waiting for the Var from my guy. I am not going to take both Winnie and Var at the same time. I know i needed to up my intake of food and protein. I already started, lots of protein all day and carry food with me wherever I go. Tuna, Chicken, Steak with veggies etc.

I plan to run the Var for 8 weeks. What do you think? 10mg for first couple weeks then bump up to 15mg. Any advice? You asked if i have a cycle plan for my diet, training etc.?? No not really, just running with the same as my guy friends.

My BF is 18% -20%, 5'4", weight 118 pounds.

Workouts - Cardio 2 - 3 times a week. Weights: legs, arms, back, different muscles on different days. Arms: reps 15,13, 10. Legs, squats, lunges etc. Working out 5 days a week. Stomach everyday! I am pushing myself until I almost fall over, YES!

Ok- let's start from the top:

I know you said you're carrying food w/ you everywhere, but can you go a little bit more into detail as to what your new & improved diet looks like? What time are you eating each meal? What else are you having with your protein? What energy sources are you coupling w/ your proteins? When you do start your Var, I would also recommend adding a 6th meal.

On your dosage- I would NOT start out at 10mgs. You need to start out at 5mgs & run that for 2 weeks. Then run 10 mgs for 4 weeks, and then back down to 5mgs. Since this is your first cycle- don't overdo it right away. You've gotta give your body time to adapt. You will see gains with that low dosing, and the side effect risk would be minimal.

As for your training & diet- your training & diet on cycle should only emulate that of a mans- meaning: more intense workouts (Mostly because you will be stronger), and increase in protein, and food overall. You need to come up with a plan designed SPECIALLY for you. Men & women differ greatly on how they build muscle, lose & gain BF, and how they train. Following a man's plan is a mistake many women make.

You need to get your BF checked w/ a pair of calipers, and have that same person gauge your BF every week at the same time so you can document your progress.

Onto your workouts- So, are you doing a pyramid workout with the weight you are using? Are you doing mostly machines? How many different movements per body part are you doing, and how many sets per movement? How long have you been doing your current workout?
