Your arms are growing crazy beast mode! Such a difference to me!!

Girl, I'm not so sure I would be unhappy with what you've done already. Christ, buckle down more and we won't recognize you anymore! Keep killing it. Motivation for sure!

Day 43 (August 23nd, 2016)
Thank you everyone for the nice compliments. It’s very nice of you to say. I increased my dosage from 10mg/day to 15mg/day.
Globo Gym workout:
I really want to do back squats today because this lift is not included in this week’s CrossFit workouts. Why? I have no idea! Anyway, today is the perfect day do back squats BUT… I do have a minor injury in my right knee on top of my ankle problem (see Day 7 post). I wore my knee sleeves to increase blood flow and reduce pain and this is what happened:
Back Squat
1 set x 5 reps with the bar (45 lbs)
1 set x 5 reps at 65 lbs
1 set x 5 reps at 95 lbs
1 set x 2 reps at 135 lbs <-- had to tap out. My knee was screaming.
This was very disappointing because my back squat PR is 200 lbs and 135 lbs should have been smooth sailing. I believe I overexerted my quadriceps tendon – I am not sure if it tore or pulled. I can walk on it fine, but I feel discomfort when walking upstairs, doing step-ups or rising from a squat/quarter squat position.
I’ll have my doctor check out my knee, along with my ankle at my appointment on August 30th. Until then, it will be mostly upper body strength training for me.
Globo gym workout continued…
Bent Over Rows with the barbell
1 set x 5 reps with the bar (45 lbs)
1 set x 5 reps at 55 lbs
1 set x 5 reps at 65 lbs
1 set x 5 reps at 85 lbs
1 set x 5 reps at 95 lbs
Standing Curls with a fixed weight curling bar (40 lbs)
1 set x 10 reps
2 sets x 8 reps
CrossFit workout:
I was supposed to practice clean & jerk tonight. Unfortunately, due to my knee injury I wasn’t capable to participate with the rest of the crew. However, I still went to the class to become an active listener. It's the least I can do. I did learn a few things from listening and watching the coach.
When I got home, I ate a nectarine then hopped onto my GHD machine and did 50 sit-ups.

@Nova Skye hey girl, sorry, but went on vacation and had no service there. I'm sorry to hear about your quad. That's not a small muscle, so be careful, mine took a long while to heal 100%.
Now the good news: Look at your PR's! Just amazing. Do you feel 150 would have been in reach if you wouldn't have set the other PR's first and maybe tired out a bit? I mean 20lbs is big, but ten more lbs is nothing if your fresh. Great work!

P.S. Vacation was great. Posted some pictures in OGH's food thread if you want to look. Just of all the food I pounded down... Weather was to bad for the Sunset pictures I wanted on Hubbard Lake.

DOCTOR APPOINTMENT (finally)!!
Good news! The x-rays shows no sign of tears, fractures or damage
Here were the results:
- Ankle: the posterior tibialis tendon was extremely inflamed from too much jump roping. That’s my fault because I was practicing double unders every day straight for about 2-3 weeks without enough rest time for my ankles. My doctor says just like strength training, I need to build up to it in order to progress. He prescribed very strong anti-inflammatory medication. I need to take 1 capsule twice a day and I should be back to normal in about week.
- Knee: the pain in my knee is patellofemorial pain syndrome - caused from having really tight quadriceps. Since my quads were really tight, my knee was taking the brunt of the weight in the workouts. My doctor told me stretching of the quadriceps a few times every day is the best treatment. I’ve stretched my legs the past couple of days and I already noticed less pain in my knee. I’m going to try a yoga class tomorrow after work because it will force me to stretch

Just finished my anavar cycle, short and sweet. Hit some new PRs at my current weight but nothing new overall. Physique looks great, going to start some DBol bulking in a couple weeks! Hopefully all my injuries are gone by then
Glad you're hitting some new PRs and definitely gained a lot of muscle.

@Triton_ not taking away from any other log done on Meso and has absolutely nothing to do with this being a female log.
(Teasing) For me, I find this log easy to follow, motivational to say the least and @Nova Skye is killing it! You going to log your Dbol run for everyone?
I haven't seen a Dbol log done from start to finish, with maybe a post monthly check in to document your ability to maintain your gains. Just a thought.
Sorry Nova, not hijacking your log doll.

Awesome! Congrats @Triton_ for hitting new PRs and achieving a great physique! Are you going to post a picture? 
You should take @Geterdun's advice and write a log about your next cycle. I would like to read about your experience with it too.
No need to apologize @Geterdun, you're not hijacking at all.
