•FEMALE LOG/ANAVAR•

Hot stuff!!

The guys are giving great advice. I do it the same way.

There's nothing better than a badass motherfuckin squat. Go for it!

You know all about them!

165 is still kicking my ass.
I never go for 1RM bc they terrify me for some reason, so I always approach a weight I know I can do 5-6 reps.
But I've been trying to get this 165 to the 8-12 zone and it's just not budging.
Gonna follow @jaymaximus advice and just do 145 for a good 15 reps and see if It break that plateau.
I can only dream of entering the 200 club squat.

Try the power rack next time, set the stoppers to be right below your shoulders when your on a full squat ass to grass, load up the bar and drop with that mf. If you fail, well the stoppers will be there to help you, and you can set your self up for a second attempt from bottom power thru as you come up. Either way, you won't risk injury

A well laid out training program you should not fail so I don't think that's really great advice to be going for it and maybe or maybe not get it. In my training I will not fail or think I come close to failure as my training I use 90% Max's always. Pushing PRs everyday will not make you as strong as pushing a PR once every 3 months though, frying your CNS constantly makes recovery harder. My .02 and I rambled so take it for what it's worth.

That's true, I don't do this all the time, but when I want to take a chance and I'm feeling up for it, why not? At least you won't bottom out with the weight on you with possibility of injury. But your right, you should be able to lift everything perfectly on a good program. I just like to test my self every now and again... kind of like when I failed at a 365 dead lift for 2 weeks and finally got it on my third attempt. Disclaimer, don't do what I do, it's my experience and I only do this so often.

Believe it or not my gym doesn't have a power rack. Just those shitty reg squat racks. I hate them so much bc you can't adjust anything as everything is preset. I'm short so it's a pain in the ass bc I'm always scared to hit the bar when go squat too low:mad: Sometimes I rather just take the bar out of the box but last time I did that I almost died when I pushed to failure and almost didn't make it back up.

Anyway, I never go for 1RM.
I choose a weight that I know I can at least do 2-3 and work from there.
And we'll, my training program kicks ass bc a had help from some awesome members :cool:
 
Yeah Heady,
Us older guys need to work up to that.. I almost had a stroke, lol But then I popped a Metoprolol and chewed an aspirin... All is well..
Lookin great Devika!

Next time I'll post pics with a warning ;)

And thank you! I am pretty pleased with the results I'm getting from this cycle.

So, I went on the scale today and I was 105.8. That's only 1 lb over from what I started with but my body looks absolutely different. These 4 weeks have recomped my body dramatically.
I've lost fat and replaced it with muscle, which is great! But I wanna put on some serious muscle now.
I need to eat more. Yayyy

I've been a little down these past two days. I think seeing my ex was a delicious mistake, but a total mind fck.
I need to just forget about that BS and go full force on what's left of my cycle.

Took some progress photos today and I was pretty happy. My stomach is looking super lean. I wanna get that V cut so badly.
The pics of my legs are only 9 days apart, but I can see the difference:D

Core is looking fantastic. Looks like the hard work is paying off!

My fiancé has that problem, she's only 5'2. Luckily she has me to spot her power rack or no power rack
 
I'm 5'2"
Lucky lady.
Sometimes I really wish I had someone to spot me during squats, bench and shoulder presses.
#singlelife :(

Even I hit the stand alone squat rack at my gym cause I'm low bar and usually got ATG unless I'm at 80% or more so I just try and control it down really well. For bench just get any body you trust not to fuck up and grab it whenever. Shoulderpress is a spot free exercise if you can't lift it drop it, even if you break a bar it's better then chancing an injury... See I don't give a shit if I break bars image.jpegThey weren't happy about then. And as for squats I don't know if you have bumper plates at your gym but I just do the oly jump out if I can't make my 1rm attempts outside the rack. But like I said your training weights should be something you always have at least 1 more rep in the tank when you are done the set if not 2 or 3 reps left.

I need to learn how to drop the weight when I'm shoulder pressing. It scares me a little to maybe yank something and fuck up my rotator cuff.
Or be that clumsy person that drops the weight on her foot or someone close.
For those those reasons I prefer military presses w the Olympic bar.

I would feel so badass if I broke a bar.
I totally agree about always having at least 1-2 reps in the tank. I am terrified to experience again what I did a couple of weeks ago. That fear of being crushed by the weights as your knees start to buckle in and you may or may not make it to standing position.

That fear is a reason I love powerlifting! But defiantly shouldn't be something you feel in training just in competition. I just take a step back and push the bar forward for when I dump on shoulder press. That bar snapped with only 115 on it when I was at the top end of my shoulder press and lost my balance on the 5th or 6th rep so I just dumped it instead of the possibility of a back injury and then boom snappo! As long as you have bumper plates I think everyone should learn how to dump weight properly
 
UPDATE

DAY 30- rest

DAY 31

TRAINING- SQUATS/SHOULDERS

Today was one of those frustrating days
where everything felt heavy AF. It was so blah I didn't even bother logging my workout.
I had to cram an early training sesh before work and my body DOES NOT respond well to AM workouts.
I think I would've made more gains had I stayed in bed sleeping.
I was in a bad mood, rushing, strength was nowhere to be found.
I was absolutely miserable :(

At least I forced myself to go to the gym and do something.

Tomorrow will be better.

On the bright side, my abs are starting to pop and I am super thrilled!!! Maybe once I add Albuterol I can start rocking a 6 pack?
I am absolutely pleased with the way Anavar was recomped my body. Of course, my training and nutrition have been on point. Anavar alone doesn't do miracles, just gives an extra kick.
I am gonna start trying to eat a little more for the rest of the cycle.
My metabolism is super high so gotta take advantage of it.
It's crazy. Today, I had close to 300g of carbs and my stomach is flat as a board right now. Love it!! Gotta enjoy it while it lasts right?

Inspired by my Avi took this picture for my ex and as a motivation to keep working my ass off every day at the gym.
7 more weeks to work on this baby!:p

Not quite the Maya Puliyska yet, but I'm damn proud of the progress I've made.

Happy Friday, my MESO fam.

Did this a week and a half ago... Barbell slipped outta my hand and ended up hitting me right in my right foot. Broke my toe and my toenail is going to fall off any day now. Shit sucks.

But that picture... Phew.
