Depending on your definition of bulk, I would have to respectfully disagree - you can bulk with Var.
If by bulk you mean blowing up all big, dirty and bloaty, then there are better compounds around (Dbol etc). If by bulk you purely mean increase lean muscle mass, then this can be done with var as it is still an AAS.
Diet will generally dictate results whatever you're doing.
You can disagree with fact if you like
Respectfully or otherwise. I'm a big boy, I can take it.
Bulking isn't a wet, dirty thing and doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be).
The purpose of having the 2 terms is to comment on things like the amount of glycogen held when on a substance, the endurance you get, the recovery, and the overall addition of muscle (lean or otherwise) and fat [and the ratio between the two as a function of time].
A "Lean" bulk is nothing more than adding real muscle whereby the users actual muscles mass increased and when off cycle and at normal levels of hormones and glycogen that same muscle now has more fibers to it and is larger. Whatever is gained in that measure is typically called an increase in "lean muscle mass"
So what I'm telling you is there are a lot of substances that will add more lean mass with lower dosages over a shorter amount of time, but it will be accompanied with glycogen and probably some fat.
Anavar is good at adding very, very little mass, but also adds little to no fat.
Trying to convice anybody that Anavar is bulking seems silly. when there are a lot of substance that fit that definition perfectly. Perfectly. Trying to make Anaver a bulk is square peg, round hole metality.
Tren will shred more fat off you than Var and will put more "lean" mass on you. Tren is a bulker (along with other things). Anavar is not.
Read up and admit when you are a little off base. It is okay to be wrong. We all learn that way.
