I wasn't sure on where to post this so I figures here was good. I have been on var and clen now for 9 days now. I was doing the clen 25mcg once in the morning and then at night but so a total of 50 mcg/day but I cut that to 25mcg just in the morning. I was getting heart palps in my sleep that were freakin me out. But I think I will up it to 50 mcg once in the morning. I just cant stand shit happening to me in the middle of the night. Anyway. I am feeling stronger but not by a whole lot. My cardio is gettting really good though. On the physical level my hooha is tingly most of the day but no swollenness or anything. I will try to take pics every week to track my progress; and any training info is greatly appreciated. I am weak after every workout and sore the next day or two so I am guessing I am pushing myself hard enough. Like I have said I workout at home by myself inbetween taking care of my daughter so its hard to tell if I am doing enough. My legs still suck big time though.:mad:

Thanks guys and hopefully some gals

Great progress ! You look freaking AWESOME !
How much var are you using ?How long do you plan on using it ?If you ever get into a health club you will get to the next level very quickly.Enjoy the "hooha" while it last's..it will swell some soon but do not panick over this..it will go back down.What is your current training plan ? Those legs will come along fine but you will have to go heavy with them,using a spotter helps.Have you tried hitting quads one day and then the very next day hitting hams/glutes/calfs????Time to change your avatar with a new picture.How is the diet coming along ?Hopefully you have upped the protien to replace lost cals from carb depletion..are you eating fats like I suggested ?Chicken skin will help you now big time !
 
Wow, looking great there sporty, I think you have better guns then have the tools in my gym! What's this about a tingly hooha ;) Keep up the hard work!
 
Thanks Dennis I can alway depend on you to give me a boost. I am taking 5mg of var in the morning and 5mg at night-so 10mg/day. As for my legs..well more specifically my quads...I have been doing the leg extensions everyday at 40lbs until i fatique for 5 sets. It has helped them with strength but I think I just have tooo much fat on them to see any results. I tried doing olympic bar squats but my knees are so weak and they start to tremble violently, so I stopped doing those and started with lunges at 50lbs(total -25lb dumbells) for 4 sets at 6-8 reps. I know i am so weak there. Bent leg dead lifts 90lbs 8reps 4 sets. Leg extensions with the heaviest weight I can do--its at the end of my workout--for 3 sets 8 reps...my calves grow pretty fast so I dont normally focus on them just do them inbetween everything else with no weight. BTW what is a good weight to do squats with? Just wondering how much work i need. The diet is going well. I am still struggling to eat enough calories most of the day though... My protein though is up at 180 grams a day. Is it completely aweful to be under calories even though I have adaquate protein? I eat about 1400 caloies/day. sometimes more sometimes less. I did gain 3 pounds backin the last 2 weeks..now back to 121. But again i think it is mostly water.

About your olympic bar squats..do you have knee problems ?Are you just squating the bar and having problems ?Maybe your form could be part of the problem.We have to get you squating girl and quickly.What is a good weight for you to squat..well any weight than you can do only ten times and not another rep no way would be a good place to start.Leg extensions everyday might be a bit much too..but I forget your goals.About your protien vs total cals..refresh my memory..are you trying to gain some lean size and weight or just lose weight and tone up?With that upper body of yours I would want to keep that size and make the lower body match.Gosh..If I were a single man I would love to come over and spot for you !For training purposes only though :rolleyes:
 
I am mostly trying to tone up and add some lean muscle. I have about 17-20% bodyfat generally...I really don't know for sure. I am trying to tighten up to what I was b4 I got pregnant. And once I am there I will reevaluate my goals. I do want to get more muscle on me though. But the muscle i have you cant see unless I am flexing..too much fat. So I am just trying to be realistic at what I can attain with what i have to work with strength wise..and equipement. I don't have knee problems but I have the floating knee thing...where my knee cap moves wayy to much. Pretty much I need to tone up my lower body and add some lean muscle. I am already pretty small so losing weight isn't what I am going for. This is me overall. But I would like to grow a bigger rump. ;) BTW what is that muscle that goes from my ribcage down to my pubic bone area?
 
I forgot to add that my skin is super oily...never was like this b4. BTW is muscle soreness a good way to judge a workout? I don't mean soreness from injury...just overall fatique and soreness for almost 2 days.

Soreness is a good way to judge a good workout, but it can also say over training.

Are you taking any supplements, you might try 5-10grms of glutamine in a nitetime protein shake. that can help with the soreness and speed up recovery

good luck and your looking great and try some tanning to help with the oily skin

OH yeah clen at night = bad mistake
 
I am taking healthy n' fit whey pro-amino-- divding the amount in two though. and the Healthy n fit amino acid pills--a multivitamin--b12 injections--biotin--melatonin at night.

well i dont know what healthy n fit aminos are but thats a good start are they BCAA or EAA you can never have enough aminos in my mind.

but i would seriously try some glutamine its cheap and works wonders.

B-12 for what energy or stimulate appetite
 
Ok I am pretty sure I probably overtrained my legs. I did them last wednesday and they are still sore today (monday). Too much right? But I dont get it...everything i have read says to go as heavy as you can, for about 4-6 reps/4-6 sets--which is what I did so how come i am so sore? I am feeling the soreness where i should though, so I am not compensating for using too much wt--so whats the deal? Could it be that i am not eating enough or something?

I would not say you overtrained , you most likely did things that you never have done before and went with more weight then your used to. Legs are a HUGH muscel group. If your going to be doing legs again in the next day or so and you are still sore i would push it off untill you feel like your not sore at all! If you did legs hard and were sore then did them again in 3 days while still very sore then I would say you overtrained! Your growing so enjoy it!
Your Hot!

Ok 2nd week on. Not too much change my bi's tri's and shoulders are showing the fastest progress. I can see a differnce overall but it doesn't show up in pics so i will hold off until next week for pics again...that is if there is a change. I did take my measurments--which I should have done from the beginning but forgot.
From top down:

shoulders 41.5 in
chest 37.75--flexed
arm 12.25--flexed
waist 26
hips 33.25
butt 36
mid thigh 19.5

My strength definitly shot up though I was using 50lb dumbells for my bendover rows yesterday and they were feeling lite to me so i did 6 sets. (They are the heaviest dumbells i have) I did finally do oly squats and I think one of my biggest problems was that I was doing them too slowly. This time they weren't that bad.

BTW my skin is still super oily (dont know how u guys deal with it) and my hair feels dry. Tingly hooha isn't constant anymore and that is about it for sides.
 
Ok it's now the end of my 3rd week on. Libido has kicked into high gear. Very bizzare to get absolutely random sex thoughts wiz thru my head out of nowhere. LOL but it is very energizing...;) Started losing more hair in my brush but not too much, still the greasy face. After heavy workouts my sorness doesnt linger as long either. I am starting to see more results in my chest and shoulder areas. I am still tightening up and starting to get a little veiny. I only took a couple of pics today and they are in an old mirror...its not dirty...:o I will take a few more this week . And yes my legs still suck. My calves are looking splendid so go figure. My tush has gotten a bit more plump too. those pics will come later. I am still struggling to eat all my calories but I am growing so I guess I am eating enough for now. The last pic is of my veins..its a crappy pic though

Wow, nice progress sporty! Shoulders are looking very good, nice and tight! Again, keep up the good work! Now you know how us guys feel with the random thoughts going through our heads all day [:o)]
 
It is so weird for me but now I guess I can somewhat understand what you are going thur...partly but probably not. Thanks for all the support and BTW what are the chances of breaking a bone while lifting really heavy weight? When I was doing bi's I felt a lot of pressure in my forearm down by my wrist. I wasnt sore or hurt though when I put the weight down. So I figured it had to be a bone thing. I felt strong to lift it but it was a bigjump in weight for me. I went from dumbell curling 55lbs to 70lbs in 1 week. Let me say that my curl wasnt completely clean thou,,,I had to do a little bounce to keep the weight moving without a spot.
 
I get that in my wrist also, I can't use a curl bar with a lot of weight or many of the bi machines. I was diagnosed with tenosynovitis and got a cortisone shot about 2 years ago which really helped. It acts up when I do the curl bar and close grip bench with heavy weights so I try to either stay away or do them till it hurts too bad and then lay off. Did close grip bench with 275lbs on Friday and it killed my wrist but 225 was ok, very weird. Don't think you broke anything though.
