Sometimes Var takes a few weeks to start feeling the pumps. I been there before thinking its crap but thrn it finally kicks in. It depends also hoe much you are taking as well. If ur diet is good u shouldn't gain on Var just gain muscles.

Edit

If it's winny you will feel it in your joints. If it's Dbol I have no idea.

I've had great var, good var, and crap lol The great stuff I felt with in a week, serious pumps at the gym and muscle like a rock. The good stuff (I'm on now), I felt almost immedeately, I was running crap for two weeks prior. It was var just low dosed even though my supplier swears it's fine. He sent me the good stuff, and I could tell right away.

It gives me an extra push, like I can always squeeze out one more rep with it. And when I flex my quad is rock hard, it's crazy how hard it is lol

Var hasn't caused me any bloat ever, I think you will know within 2 weeks if not sooner. It just depends on how in tune with your body you are.
