Sarah - have you ever used gear before??

I would like to know how your body responds to the var.

Are you doing any cardio?

What does your diet look like now? Perhaps post us a sample and we'll make changes where need be.
Oh, and by the way, welcome to the board!

I started the var today. Took 5mgs. I'm going to do that for a week, then increase it to 10.

My workout schedule is pretty much:

Mon : Chest and Tri's/Spinning for cardio plus abs
Tues: Legs (Quads, Glutes, Calves) and running 3 miles
Wed: Bi's Tri's Hamstrings/ Spinning
Thurs: Shoulders/Spinning
Fri: Back and Bi's/ 20 min Elliptical
Sat: Step class, abs
Sun: rest

I lift heavy, to failure.

My diet:

I like to have oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast

I eat a snack around 2 1/2 - 3 hours later, usually an apple or some peanut butter

Lunch is romaine lettuce, tomato, tuna, and some all bran cereal, no dressing

Another snack a few hours later

A sugar free protein bar before the gym. (I don't touch sugar)

Lean protein and veggies for dinner.
