Hey guys,

275 x 10 w/ 5 sec. hold on last rep.
205 x 10 w/two sec. hold per rep.

Seated calf

Day 72 - Day 75 (6/16 - 6/19)
Anavar: 15mg.

No gym for me as I still had family in town and we were out and very busy. I'm feeling like shit from overindulging in yummy food and not lifting in the gym.

I'm sick and tired of being criticized by my mother. All week long she has gone out of her way to make fun of me and say I either look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Incredible Hulk, or that I look like a dude or a tranny. I laughed it off at first but she really got under my skin. I don't get how some people can be so mean and rude. Especially "loved ones". Sorry for the rant.



Day 76, 6/20/16
Weight: 139
Anavar: 15mg.

Everybody is finally gone and I'm back to my regular routine of lifting and eating. It feels so good.

I have put on a few pounds over the week and look bloated. It's to be expected though and I'm sure I'll be able to drop most of the excess bloat by the end of this week.

As of yesterday, I'm officially on my final week of my cycle. I'm looking forward to giving my body a much needed break from AAS.

I hit it hard in the gym this morning and broke my squat PR again. I can hardly believe the amount of weight that I'm able to squat now. I guess taking the week off and loading up on food wasn't such a bad idea. I'm very satisfied with the progress I've made on my first cycle.


Squats
135 x 7 (felt heavy but just needed to warm up some more)
185 x 2

245 x 2 <--PR

135 x 10

Leg press
90lbs. x 12
180lbs. x 8
270lbs. x 8
360lbs. x 8 <--PR
360lbs. x 8
180lbs. x 12

Seated calf
160lbs. 3 x 18

Treadmill at highest incline
20 minutes

Nothing has changed as far as sides. No hair loss, voice changes, no changes to private parts and my libido is still high. I haven't had any new breakouts on my skin either in the past week.

Damn, damn, damn!! That PR!!! That's so great. Sounds like the deload did you good!!

Ugh. I can remember my mother would pick on me too. Idk what it is with that generation. Shit I say that but your mom is probably close to my age lol. Still though. No one can push our buttons more than the people who put them there. Sounds like it's a good thing the visit is over. Keep up the good work!!

I can barely do 185x10 on barbell hip thrusts...

Nice work.

It's been a fantastic log Crystal! I really hope you do one on your next go round.

It's great to tune in and see your progress week to week. Can't wait to see how other compounds treat you!

I think it's a generational thing... I think it's also due to the fact that most people don't regularly see body's like many members at meso have. When you live and breathe this kind of lifestyle you start to get pretty accustomed to seeing big built lean bodies. To someone that doesnt see it much, or at all, it can be shocking. The more she's around you or others like you, the less shocking it'll be to her. My dad has always had a somewhat similar view on my lifestyle actually, except he views it as unhealthy and that I'm liable to hurt myself.

In the meantime, keep at it

Thanks, lady! I'm really glad I took an unexpected deload. I'm going to make the most of it for the rest of this week. Only six more day and my cycle is over!

My mother is in her late 60's, but I totally get what you're saying. Yes, it was nice having them over when she wasn't being rude but I'm so glad they're gone now!

Thank you! I'm a kind of excited to find out that you hip thrust. A lot of men stay away from doing that lift because it's known as a "women's exercise". I beg to differ.

Thanks, Eman and I appreciate you following along and all the advice you've given me along the way.

Also, thanks for putting things in perspective as far as the negative comments my mother was making. I get what you're saying, but I also don't get why she can't just bite her tongue if she doesn't have anything positive to say. It is what it is, I guess.

I still haven't decided if I'm going to do another Anavar cycle or try running Primo next, but I will make sure to do another log if it's the latter.

Yeah, I was trying to bring up glute strength for better deadlift lockout. Unfortunately they aggravated my right hip so badly I had to drop them after about five weeks. I'm really not bothered by doing "women's exercises" in the gym. If it allows me to squat, bench and deadlift more I'm game.

I've read some of Bret Contreras' articles. I've actually got my fiancee doing something similar to one on his website right now with great results. I don't know about his whole being able to hip thrust more than you deadlift idea though.

That's too bad you had hip issues doing them.

I haven't tried to do a conventional deadlift in a very long time, so I don't know where I stand. However, I can definitely BB hip thrust more than I can squat.

Bret is the man and has transformed many women, one booty at a time.

I do 130 lb hip thrusts... (my gf weighs about 130 lbs )

I still haven't decided if I'm going to do another anavar cycle or try running Primo, but I will make sure to do another log if it's the latter.

I don't typically hear about females doing oral kick starts but maybe that's something to consider. Run anavar until the primo kicks in... I am not suggesting you do so, but something to research if you're interested in the idea. Might be a little aggressive/advanced for a female user though, I'm not sure.

Not exactly a barbell, but I guess that counts. Lol!

I have thought about kick-starting with Anavar, but I'll save that for later down the road. If I run Primo, it will be only that, no other compounds (except maybe Albuterol and Ketotifen again). I'd rather play it safe and know how my body will react to just Primo.

I think it was you I saw mention the program of his. I'd browsed his work years ago, but I don't think he'd put that program out yet.

I had to modify a few things for her, she has a torn meniscus and certain leg movements aren't possible. Like slightly above parallel box squats instead of regular full squats.

Probably a better choice. I'm a fan of oral kick starts but it's less risky from my POV. I'm impatient and waiting a month for the effects to kick in is no bueno.

Yes, I talked about Bret in the intro of my log. I purchased his book a few years ago and followed the beginner program in it. I made good progress, even being a natty lifter and don't hesitate to drop his name to other female lifters looking to change up their lower body programs.

Yikes. I'm sure she's still making great progress even though she's doing a modified version.

Yes, that will be hard for me too because I'm just as impatient. Haha.

Bret is coming this way next month. I thought about making the trip to hear/see him but decided it was fangirl and creepy. Lol. Actually it seemed like a good conference but I can't afford it right now.

It's totally fangirl but I'd totally shell out the money to see him if I had it. Lol

Congratulations on the squat PR's Crystal!! I knew you had it in you.
