What's up Meso peeps,
I have been behind on updating this log. I keep meaning to do it in the evening when the kids fall asleep but I either get side-tracked and forget or accidentally fall asleep super early. Whoops!
I've been deviating A LOT from the original workout plan I was following and kind of started going back to split body parts, except I make sure to add in glute work three times a week. What can I say, I'm a creature of habit.
Day 22, Monday 4/25
Weighed in at 134.2.
Mostly chest and tri's with glutes thrown in. Broke my tiny PR on flat bench. It feels good to see the numbers sloooowly go up. I remember how difficult it used to be for me to even bench the bar, ha.

Post workout notes: A regular at my gym was showing me a few other chest exercises that I've never done before and I didn't add these to my log. I am going to be sore tomorrow! I can already feel it.

Day 23, Tuesday 4/26
Weighed in at 134.3.
I'm noticing a bit of water retention and I think it could be because "the time of the month" is around the corner. Last month I got it on the 1st, but I'm really crossing my fingers that the Anavar will keep it away. It's not looking good so far, ha.
Super happy that I broke my squat PR from last week! I made sure to have a spotter this time, just in case.

Day 24, Wednesday 4/27
Weighed in this morning at 134.8. Damn, the scale just keeps going up by a tiny bit and I highly doubt it's muscle.
I'm still noticing a little water retention although I've been consuming plenty of H2O. I really really hope I don't get my menstrual cycle soon.
My body is sore from the last two days, so I decided to take a rest day today.
I started taking Taurine as well, and hopefully that will help with the painful muscle pumps and cramps that interfere with my workouts.
Sleep has been so-so but I have been feeling a lot more tired in the early evenings now.
Still mild sides such as a tiny bit of oily hair, libido still high, a few muscle cramps, and I noticed that I'm starting to sweat a little while I workout. Yes, your read that right. I hardly EVER sweat. No, really. It's to the point where I was actually excited when I saw and felt a trickle of sweat between my cleavage and my lower back, ha.
Tomorrow is back day and I cannot wait.
