Hi!
Thank you for keeping such a detailed log. You're looking great! Your experiences have helped me out so much.

Oh yeah! I am so happy! I know when I read ladies logs before I started, it really helped me to understand the process. What are you doing on yours? Do you have a log started and if so, where is it?

[AKD_FitChick]

Hey guys! I am still here. Still working out most days. Pushing it on days I can, dropping when I can't. But I am here!!!!

Couple little progress pictures!!! The one with my back and blue pants is from this past weekend. Noticing size in my lats again!

[Bio-Active]

Your doing great and should be very proud of your accomplishment!

[AKD_FitChick]

Hey Chick looking amazing, look at that back development! Looking good!

How is your diet and training split nowadays?

Training is going well. I go easy where I need to on some days and really push on other days. I love that my upper body responds so quickly, but my lower body really took a loss from getting sick and it's hard to get it all back and solid. I lifted 3 days this week and have been HIIT training the past couple. I am headed to SC next week for a few days and want to cut a little fat before I head to the beach! I am on a quick HCG cycle too. I love the control of it. I do change up my calories though for lifting days.

I do see more size now in parts of my back then I had before. I LOVE THAT!

HOW the heck are you? Missing our daily 'hi's'

[InternalFire]

Glad to hear youre rocking it hard girl!

Happy 4 you

I didn't enjoy HCG while on my TRT protocol, multiple times had to take an action against E2 spikes, and since dropped HCG sides never returned, even after heightened dosage, still all good. HCG may not be for me, or at least not yet.
Still have those 5x pharm amps of 5000iu which I will probably never use

I don't know what men do or why they wouldn't.

Var has 9 hour half life so after 18 hours nothing left in the body.

Maybe one of the guys who have cycled Var can speak to male protocol.

This is not true. If you take 10mg after 9 hours 5mg remains, after 18 hours 2.5mg remains. It takes 6 half lifes before a compound reaches a point of no longer really being active. Male of female dosing 1 time or multiple times daily will not give you really any difference.

Yes. I stand correct.

[GirlyGymRat]

Um. Please explain why you would suggest single dosing after fully and correctly explaining half life....seems like a contradiction. Regardless of your explanation I will stick with a split dose.

Do whatever works the best for you. Based on half lifes if you dose once per day your on your last doses 3rd half life before consuming your next dose. So you never really have no var in your system. My statements are based more on use than facts.

I have split doses as much as 4 times daily and noticed no difference. Nothing scientific just from experience. Virtually everyone I have asked said the same thing single dose or split dose doesn't really matter.

I see the best results with full dose empty stomach when I wake up. Then I eat and hit the gym about 1 hour after taking the oral.

I only corrected your half life mistakes to keep people from thinking that 2 half lifes was all you get out of a compound. I used to always split doses until I read a post from kelkel about taking the full dose all at once. Every since then I get better results from a single dose.

This. Before workout!

[InternalFire]

just here to stir up some waters, are you doing well girl?

Have a great day if you havent already!

Right - makes no sense

I try to split doses throughout the day

[AKD_FitChick]

Hey there you all!!! I am back and starting a round. My head is fully in the game and food is on point and lifting 5 days a week with some HIIT in there as well still! Super excited. Took my first split dose this morning.

I had to take a break. As most of you on here that followed my journey knew I was fighting major thyroid/adrenal/hashi's issues. Well to sum it up, my body stopped absorbing all my medications and I hit a wall. I am now on new medications and have been feeling great!!! Back to my energizer bunny!!! I kept my diet in check. Ate 90% clean. Made it to the gym a 1-2 times a week, lost a lot of muscle and traded it for a little fat. Stayed the same weight, but put on inches. I have been back at the gym officially 6 weeks and them ole' muscles are coming back. I am doing this round, simply because I want too. I miss the strength. I miss how lean I got after, I cannot wait to back to where I was. Thank goodness I haven't lost too much! I will post a current photo soon!!!

Anything you all would like more detail on this cycle?

[GirlyGymRat]

Welcome back!

Any compounds?

[< <Samson> >]

Welcome back!

Any compounds?

We like lotts of compounds

Lol

[AKD_FitChick]

Compounds? Please describe? Meaning lifting, more full body lifts?

[Obs]

Heck ya! Samson and GGR love compound movements!

[AKD_FitChick]

Day 2! Had a really good back workout this morning. Still following my coaches plan, but I add in more lats, cause I love those babies. Today is the first day that I felt 100% in the gym. Naturally I have got myself back to feeling good. Ready to get my muscle back. I am attaching updated pictures. I gained 7 inches of fat over the last 3-4 months, but today I measured and was down 8.75, now to build back up the right way and cut the right way! Please don't judge the pictures, I lost muscle, thank goodness I didn't gain a bunch of weight. All pictures taken in the past week.

[Obs]

Photo looks great btw.

[AKD_FitChick]

Ha ha! Forgot! Here they are.

[AKD_FitChick]

[GirlyGymRat]

Look amazing!

[ghettoboyd]

welcome back, you look fantastic...

[AKD_FitChick]

Day 3

Sorry for the late post. I am not feeling the effects yet, typically in the past its about a week. I do have a question. If I take my dose at 4:50am and start my lift at 5:20am, is that okay via the whole half life part. I take 6.25 at 4:50am and 5pm take the other 6.25. Does that work? Is it still in my system? Am I reaping the benefits fully of the var?

Today I did HIIT on an empty stomach. Felt so good to get in some HIIT, but let me tell you my back was sore. In our HIIT classes they use a lot of weights and I dropped them a few times just to power through. I can't wait till I get that BOOM, so I just push super hard.

My lifting schedule for now is........It will change in a couple weeks to change it up (run 6 week long workout routines). My nutrition is on point too!!! I am still working with my coach and I adore him. He loves me eating complex carbs!

Saturday - Quads/Calves
Sunday - Chest/Tri
Monday - off
Tuesday - Back/Biceps
Wednesday - HIIT only
Thursday - Hamstrings/Glutes/Calves
Friday - Shoulders (sometimes I will add shoulders in on back and leg days and skip Friday, so I have another rest day)

I will get more in detail on actual weights and lifts and goals and achievements as they start coming. My boyfriend is actually excited for some sides....ha ha.

I have been really lucky to not really get any crazy sides on my cycles......THANK GOD!

Starting Measurements
Height - 5'10 3/4

[< <Samson> >]

Compounds I was referring to were to - juice & juice like compounds


But, yes - many compound movements too - y not

[DocToxin8]

Good going, looking great!

And about half lives btw,
while the anabolic response seems to be the same in users whether they take all at once or split dosages,
for women I'd recommend splitting dosages nonetheless to avoid higher spikes in androgen levels. I believe higher spikes in androgen levels can lead to more virilization sides than keeping androgen levels stable at a somewhat lower level.

Anyways,
Amazing work Fitchick!

I wish! I wish I had access to more......I don't sadly, only Var. I would love to know what would work well with Var. I know GGR has run compound cycles. Would be interested in doing so, I really want to push my body!

Thank you so much for the response. I will just keep taking it then at 4:30 am and around 5:00 pm, that should work, I do train in the morning very early around 5:20ish or earlier.

[AKD_FitChick]

Day 4 in the house!

Feel great! Can't wait for my lift. I have cortisol spiking issues at night for some reason. I will wake up like WIDE THE F AWAKE at 2-3 am every night. Some nights I will just get up if it's closer to 3:30, but last night I stayed in bed and fell back to sleep an hour later and needless to say when my alarm went off at 4:30 I was tired. I have trained every day this week in some form, so I thought a rest day is good, then hit Hammies/Glutes tomorrow and get some good lifts this weekend.

Other than that I am here and so READY.

I will say my body is tight today, like a little achy.

I was tracking. Lol

Var with primo. Both in same family so would not necessarily run again.

masteron and proviron is on my short list now.

[< <Samson> >]

If $ was no issue, I'd say GH would be the female go to compound - but, it needs to by HG. < which costs at least one arm & one leg

[AKD_FitChick]

Day 5HAPPY FRIDAY

Good morning lovely people! Rise and Shined at 4:50 took my dose and headed to the gym.......felt good! I could have kept going longer. I think the effects are coming on a little or I am just fully back to ENERGIZER BUNNY since all my health crap and fixing medications. I am keeping my weights lower for now, since I have been back in the gym fully when I lift on my legs, I actually am so in pain for a few days after, so I am building back up before I stack some lbs on. So be easy on me not lifting as heavy yet. I honestly was spent by the end, but I wanted to keep going......I LOVE THAT FEELING.

Okay so don't LAUGH but I have an in house personal steam sauna. I freaking love this tool. So I took a morning steam today after my lift and before shower/work. I am in LOVE. I look like a robot in it!! Transformer?


UM I would love to experiment with gear.......I will do some research, my issue is more of who and where do you get it here.

[AKD_FitChick]

Do you mean HGH? I don't know what GH is.

I have access to HGH, would take about a month.......I have known people to use HGH, but I never have. What's the benefits of doing with var?

All this only if you were saying HGH? Lol, if not!
