Female Var Log

[twitz]

How old is your BF? I'm 46 and been having a tough last three months with depression and getting back on my diet. I started some t400 to give me a push and seems to be working. Also, I have developed bad allergies that make me so tired. My wife, 35, is in her second week of Var and, we workout together, I really like that. She's in charge of diet and pushes me to eat better. Just give him positive encouragement. I hate to say it but, with all the younger dudes at our gym, I make myself go. Lol

You should get your wife on here I'm going into my 3rd week of var and it's always great to have other females to talk to.

It may be the after holidays slum. He'll snap out of it, I started to when the sun came out.

Yeah good point. Thank you!

Does she train at all?

I have him back in the gym with me and for the most part he is working hard, but he KNOWS how to eat (and I don't care if he has a few treats, just not so much every single day!). Plus I don't want him to give up on it all because I want to have someone to share this lifestyle with. Hopefully I'm not being selfish

She doesn't train at all. Her idea of working out is yoga in her basement once a month. It's depressing actually, there isn't enough women who care about their bodies it seems. It's all crash diets and bogus workout routines that don't work u less you commit to the life style.

x2 I feel the same exact way. It's not just women, it's guys too. Look at the general population. The fitness crowd is a minority.

Marketing knows that staying in shape requires effort and targets ppl by making it sound so simple. Criminal really.

Never let your age discourage your goals, i see this time and time again at my gym, guys around your age that look at me with doubt and just feeling sorry for themselves. What they have to remember is im in my prime, 1 day i will be there age and it maybe vice versa, also i take aas, when there sitting there asking themselves how come i dont look like that anymore, they neglect all these factors as to why they feel this way. I maybe over analyzing it, but a person facial expressions paints a thousand words.

Be realistic with your goals and take into consideration your limits, dont worry about egotistical whipper snappers like myself or guys my age, you just worry about you and enjoy what you do. Take all the support you can get from your wife, because she sounds like a great catch, and if your not doing it for her, your doing it for you! Also consider a good PT if you need a push.

I agree with you a hundred percent... Taking it a step farther though. Some of those people might wonder why they never looked liked that. If they felt in their prime they couldn't look like that, then that is going to take a harder toll on someone whos past their prime and could never look that way. It becomes a thing where someone is envious or hates you for no reason. Then again they don't know what goes in to it.

My mind can definitely wonder. The dedication and sacrifices i put into was everything, its a pity that we breed with emotions of jealousy, even at times im guilty, hate is a strong word and it blows my mind away how someone can give you such treatment over what you have put your heart and soul into.

Ok this thread has been hijacked enough now, back to the log of why we are here.

When it comes to BBing, fitness, or any sport for that matter, people just become competitive. When people become competitive it can often lead to jealousy, and in the case of BBing you don’t have team members to blame a failure on. In this sport your results are based on you, how hard you train, diet etc. Some people only do half of the puzzle and expect to look like fitness pro. Sadly, some people let their jealousy and insecurities drive them so mad that they ‘hate’ someone for their accomplishments. It’s easier to do that then to accept your own weaknesses and to work on them.

Personally, I admire almost everyone at my gym. All for different reasons, but it’s really amazing to watch people get results from all of their hard efforts. When I see someone working hard I feed off of their energy.

Bah I don't have to experience that cold for another week.. I much prefer the warmth of Calgary at the moment lol

[yourmom]

How's your strength? my wife is out lifting our teenager.

My 1st Alberta winter

How's your strength? my wife is out lifting our teenager.

My strength is starting to go up. I'm cross dominant so I have to be really careful to watch my form as I lift heavier. My mind is telling me "more, more, more!" but I make myself stay at a fairly heavy (to me) weight, activate the muscle being worked and I do lot's of squeezes.

You should get your wife to try some 5 sec holds at the end of each exercise. Maybe have her try the last 5 reps with a 5 sec hold. Really gives you a nice pumped up feeling while on var.

Took me a while to get my form proper. Without guidance I was lifting as heavy as possible. Once I backed off I gained way more.

Hope the weather hasn't left you with cabin fervor lol.

Absolutely! The biggest mistake I see at the gym everyday.

I always have to watch myself with this! Now I just keep things lighter, focus on whatever muscle I'm working and activate it the best I can.

Sometimes it does make me laugh

There's a fella at my gym, he racks up 5 plates, squats down about an inch and he's good to go. He preachers 100lb DB's but uses his free arm to help get the DB back up. I admire his effort and to attempt that takes guts/agression but I would be more amazed if he lightened up a tad and did some clean solid reps

Yup! Started them about a week & a half ago. It's going good so far. I gave myself a nasty bruise on the 2nd day but I seem to have the injections down now.

[GirlyGymRat]

People are all over the place with this. Electra has a var log here and she did PCT so you can read up on it there. The thing to consider is estrogen rebound, dropping the var will make test levels drop suddenly and estrogen may increase to counteract this. Personally, I am going to taper down my var and use a test-support supplement. Last time I used Bridge, this time I will be using Hemotest 2XC.

I call that a benefit

Day 18 - Chest

So I'm switching up my training, today being the start of that. I will explain why in my next post, but it will will be more of a progressive resistance training program. High intensity and hopefuly increasing weight/strength. I have also changed my diet. Today was the first day with the new eating program and I liked it besides the lack of carbs leading up to my workout (I train late at night). I was a bit tired because of that but I am adjusted for today and will see ow that feels.

Incline press - this is done in 3 seat positions, low incline, middle incline, then the highest the bench will go while still being on a incline. 15 reps per seat adjust, partner adjusts seat, so zero rest. One total set would be 45 reps.
25lbs x 15 per position = 45 reps
45 sec rest
22.5 or 17.5 x 15 per position - I started to feel tired through my arms. I think from a fairly heavy back the day before and lack of carbs. = 45 reps
45 sec rest
17.5 or 15 lbs per postion = 45 reps

Close grip bench
65lbs x 15
45 sec rest
75lbs x 15
45 sec rest
95lbs x 15, drop 75 x 8, drop 65 x 6

Gaint set - Decline machine press / cable cross front top/ from bottom
90lbs x 15 / 27.5lbs x 15 / 5lbs x 15
140lbs x 12 / 27.5 lbs x 15 / 7.5lbs x 15
180lbs x 3 - had to try this 140lbs x 6 / 22.5lbs x 15 / 5lbs x 15
