Update week 2
15mg var - 7,5mg AM/7,5mg PM
37,5mg phen
20mcg clen
Current weight: 149,3 lbs. That's 1,2 lb down since last week. Slow and steady wins the race
The number on the scale isn't important - a lot of stuff is happening in the mirror
So this week I started to do 15mg of var instead of 10mg and I started taking clen for the first time. I started this yesterday and I'm already noticing things. I was very jittery yesterday from the clen, I was also a bit nauseous and got a head ache in the evening. Not sure if this is the clen or just the calorie deficit - maybe both.
Since I upped my var dose i can tell I'm much more prone to muscle cramps. And the pump during my gym sessions are quite intense - not to the point where I have to stop. I can especially feel it in my lower back during my leg days. I have started to take taurine - heard that would help. Anything else that would help?
Since I started the var I can tell my muscles are harder and tighter - I think my joints are as well. I can really tell when I stretch - everything is so tight. So I'm really taking my time during my stretching and I never skip a stretch or foam roll.
I'm still loving the phen - it makes the calorie deficit part of this a lot easier. I still wish I could eat more, but its really not problem at all sticking to my macros and I feel satisfied after every meal. No cravings, or at least very rarely. And I don't get all spaced out from the deficit like I normally do.
Sides:
Apart from what I've already mentioned like tight muscles and clen giving me the jitters - I don't really feel like I have a lot of sides.
My mouth is still dry from the phen, this is probably also what causes my throat to be a bit dry.
I don't have any back acne, but I broke out a little bit in my face and my forehead is a bit shiny.
No increased libido yet
One of the sides i hoped for. But the phen does have a decreasing effect on this - so the var and phen are probably just equaling it out
I'm making sure to drink a lot of water and to get enough sodium in me. My sleep is great - dreaming a lot.
Here's my photo update. Its only two weeks in so you guys might not see the big difference
