    One of the sides of clen is muscle cramps and also the var as well so the taurine helps the cramping. I was getting bad foot cramps before the clen so i lnew i needed to add tuarone once i staryed the clen.

    It's to help prevent muscle cramps/pumps
    Thank you for the advice twitz im gonna start taking 1000mg and as i increase the clen to reach my max ill increase the taurine depending on how my body reacts. So far been cramp free and feel really good!

    Nice one is anavar pretty bad for this and what causes it?

    Usually its low sodium in your diet which causes cramps

    Would anavar be a good addition to test for lean gains

    Sorry for the questions i might cycle next year and was thinking of prop and var or prop and stanozolol .

    Day 23
    Really happy with all the progress thus far. Been having great strength gains and improving in each workout. Even with the increased cardio and carb cycling, I am still have great gains. My energy is crazy even on my no carb days I am still a beat in the gym! This past Sunday I was able to leg press 230lbs which is a personal best! Seeing all these improvements keeps me extremely motivated. I love to work hard! When I lift, I don’t always try to just push the most weight I can, I like to focus on contracting and stretching the muscle so I don’t always go to my max. usually each set I increase the weight. But the var is making me feel like superwomen and smashing through the weights.

    As far as my body, it has definitely changed. I am looking a lot more toned and solid. I am leaning out slowly and I cannot wait for the clen to really start helping me shed some body fat. My boobs have shrunk so much. But oh well my results everywhere else out weight that loss lol! My shoulders and arms are looking a lot more defined, and muscular. Even my chest is forming that crease down the middle, which is so exciting!! My boyfriend has been noticing the changes in me the most. He’s the one that pointed out my chest was changing. He says I’m looking more ‘brolic’ hahha J I want ladies out there to understand that the var will make you look strong and athletic, but you also have to put in the work. It isn’t a miracle pill that will instantly give you your dream body. Your diet needs to be on point. You also need to train hard and not be afraid of weights. My muscles are developing nicely and I am proud of where I am at this point. My body still feels very tight. My hands mostly. My forearms are extremely hard. I have been getting crazy pumps in them during a lot of lifts..kind of weird of all areas. my veins are popping out more in my shoulders. I even have this nice vein on my hip! I love vascularity :P The overall look I am going for is a more muscular ripped look…so so far heading in the right direction.

    So far haven’t been having many sides with the var, just occasional heartburn throughout the day. With the clen, I get the shaky hands and heart racing within the first 30-60min and then it slowly fizzles out during the first 3 days. I did have headaches throughout the first 3 days but nothing that bad. Yeaterday was day 4 and I took 60mcg’s today. Was grinding my teeth a lot more and my jaw very tight. My hands cramped up a lot as well. I wasn’t as shaky as I was the other days and no head ache. I took the clen at 10am and by 3pm I felt like normal. Today day 5 of clen i decided to split the 80mcgs up in 2 doses 40mcg each. so i took 40 around 630. Going to take the other 40 around 12 noon today. i am also splitting my taurine with the clen to take 50mg in morning and 50mg in afternoon. We will see how I react to that…

    Day 27.
    My body is definitely changing. Im looking very athletic and strong. Veins in my arms shoulders even my abs are popping out more! Im really happy with how my arms and shoulders are looking. I started lifting shoulders twice a week since they were a lagging body part; splitting it up with more rear delt exercises one day and more presses the other day. This has definitely made my shoulders pop! I lift triceps 2x a week and bis I do once every other week. People at my gym have even noticed some changes. One lady came up to me to say how awesome my arms and shoulders are looking. She said she was staring at me while I was doing cable curls because she was so impressed with how they looked. That really made me feel good. My arms have never had any definition so this is a huge accomplishment for me. It feels really good when others are noticing changes, especially people who I do not talk to actually noticing. That keeps me so motivated! I even compared a picture of myself from today and 2 weeks ago of my arms and such huge changes in such a short period. Sometimes you need to look at the pictures to really see the crazy results.

    Been feeling very tight lately. I couldn’t even do my normal HIIT treadmill workout my calves get so tight during the sprints. I usually do the stairs 20-30min after my lifts and my legs get so tight and I just push through it though usually goes away. Im starting to stretch a lot more before and after my lifts. I am still getting sore after my lifts. I read as lot of people don’t feel sore while on the var. I am actually feeling more sore because of how much harder im pushing myself.

    Almost done with my first 2 weeks of clen . I am up to 100mcgs and am staying at that until the week is over. Then im off for 2 weeks. 100mcgs im def feeling the sides more, but they also do not bother me. I may up to 120mcgs when I start up again in 2 weeks. I am definitely feeling leaner and have a lot more energy. My weight hasn’t dropped im still at the same weight but my pants are fitting differently. I also increased my taurine intake to 1500mg. I am taking 100mg in morning and 50mg in the afternoon. This has help tremendously with muscle cramps. When I increased the clen I may increase too 2000mg taurine. I am not sure when you really start seeing result from the clen. If anyone has any experiences with clen, would love some feedback.

    My diet is still on point with my carb cycling. I take in low calories but still am killing it in the gym. The increase protein and lower carbs really works with my body. I am still doing a 50/30/20 split with protein/carbs/fat. You can still have awesome gains eating way below your maintenance levels. Everyone handles food differently. The clen definitely helps on no carb days in curbing my appetite. Those days can be a little rough!

    I am thinking about upping the var to 15mg in the next week or so and run that till the end of my cycle. My body seems to be responding really well to the 12.5mg. I haven’t been experiencing many sides and feeling really great. I think upping it and being on the clen will be an awesome combo for me and I will get the results I am looking for. If anyone has any advice/feedback on increasing the var amount or experiences, would be greatly appreciated! Still learning as I am going.

    Day 43 Going on my 5th week.

    Finished my first 2 weeks of clen on Saturday. Taking 2 werks off and then starting again at 100mcgs and going to go up to 120mgs after 2 days. Shaky/jitteriness is gone and feeling very good. Increasing my cardio thennext few weeks to really start buring fat!

    I have been carb cycling for 3 months now and i decieded to chang up my diet. During my low/no cab days which were tues-thurs, i was feeling extremly tired and sluggish. I was still killing my workout on those days, but after i was not feeling good. I was feeling so exshausted and even nauseus. The combination of clen var and no carbs was really draining me. I have decided to up my calories to 1200 and still doing a 50/30/20 split (protein/carbs/fat). On my off days, whiich isv2 days a week i will be doing no carbs. Also, will do a refeed day when i fel my body needs it. Going to do this for a month and see how i feel. I have been wanting to get in fasted cardio in the mornings but with the carb cycling i was so tired it was hard to get up in the mornings. Now with my new diet, i am going to start and get 3 fasted cardio seshs a week and see how i feel. I really want to lean out more and need to kill it wen it comes to cardio. Ive been killin my workouts nw gotta do it with cardio. My measurements have stayed pretty much the same but weight increased over lastv2 weeks 2-3lbs to 143lbs. My streamgth has increased a lot! I feel like i lost weight too! This is a good sigh that im putting on muscle and buring fat! I carry most my fat in my hips thighs and butt, so the increased cardio will help me lean out in those areas. My upper body has been leaning out nicely. As far as sides, nothing to report. My skin has hardly broke out. Only thing ive noticed my hair is growing faster on my legs. Even my hair on my head i was told got longer in past month by my hair dresser. Overall, feeling great

    Since im half way done with my cycle i want to talk about PCT for women. I know men go through a lot after their cycle nd need a PCT. There are so many different views wen it comes to pct and women. My boyfriend spoke with a proffesional bodybuilder and she stated no PCT is necessary or women. When i stopped my first cycle last summer, i had zero sides, but i was also on birth control so i am not sure ifthat played a part. I hardly saw any reults being on the var n BC last summer. Butthis time around being off BC im seeing crazy changes so im debting on if i need a pct. i read some girls take nolvadex and also taper down the var at the end of their cycle. The female bodybuilder said no need to tapering down. So i would love some feed back on any female experiences! I want to be as prepared as possible as it comes closer to the end of my run.

    Sunday i was feeling extremely bloated and pains in my stomach. I woke up monday with like a beer belly and i dont even drink lolol but it felt very hard. I changed my diet on sunday and stopped carb cycling and was taking in too much protein. Ugh boy did i feel gross! I was taking in 150g protein and i dropped it to 130g and feel back to normal! The change in diet is making me feel great. Now with the steady carb in take on my lifting days i feel like even more like an animal in the gym! Lot more energy. Increasing the cardio more each day i really want to lean out a lot and make these muscles pop! My boyfriend noticed last night my upper body is looking awesome! Shoulders traps and chest really developing and seeing more definition. Each day feeling more motivated!! Loving it!

    Day 45

    Started back on the clen today at 100mcgs. I didn’t feel it that much at first. I took my normal pre workout drink and hit the gym early before work. I started to really feel it a few hours later. It like hit me very hard was very shaky but then after an hour is subsides and isn’t as strong. Going to go up to 120mcgs tomorrow and see how I feel.

    3 ½ weeks left of the var. Very sad it is coming to an end. That only means one thing, that I really need to push myself that much harder these last few weeks. I really want to lean out a lot more so I increased my cardio to about an 40-50 min after my lifts and at least 3 days fasted cardio in the morning for about 50min. I haven’t been cutting up and leaning out as quick as I thought. I have been putting on a lot of muscle which I am surprised with the amount of cardio I have been doing and my calorie intake. I love it but I really want to start cutting up more and getting that ripped look. I lowered my protein because I was feeling extremely bloated the past few weeks. I’m currently taking in 1000cal 113g carbs 17g fats 100g protein. I have been feeling really good on this diet with a lot of energy so hopefully the clen will really kick up my fat burning a notch! My upper body seems to be leaning and cutting up quick. My stomach/mid section seems to hold on to fat longer grrrrr :/ I can see my abs coming through but I guess I just have to be patient and just keep that cardio up and diet on point. I am trying to train abs 3x per week and hit them hard.

    This Sunday I had another personal best in leg press! I was able to do 300lbs 5x! That was my goal to surpass 3 plates this weekend and I did and then some!! I just feel so good during my lifts and smashing through the weights. I also was able to squat 135lbs and actually get really low ATG for 10 reps without a spotter. Usually I have a spotter when I’m at the weight so if I had a spotter I definitely could have went heavier! Today’s workout was great. I did shoulders and triceps. I was able to 60lb press on smith machine for 6 reps. That is a personal best and was so exciting to see my shoulders and arm strength increasing. I will soon be putting 45lb plates on the smith for shoulder press!! Seeing these improvements keeps me so motivated and dedicated to keep getting better. My shoulders I split my training 2 days a week. One day focusing on more press exercises and the other more on rear delts. So my workout today was a lot of presses; dumbbell press, smith machine press, incline press, shoulder press machine. Had some cra*y pumps in my arms! Love that feeling! My tris I didn’t go heavy. I focuses on low weight and higher reps and really squee*ing /contracting the muscle.

    Since I am coming to an end of my cycle, I would really love some feedback on PCT. I know there isn’t much out there in regards to females and pct. I have heard through a professional women bodybuilder that no PCT is necessary. I am currently not going to do any PCT. I will keep logging how I feel and share my experience. But if any one has any suggestions on this part of the journey it is greatly appreciated.

    Day 48

    I change up my diet yet again. I have been feeling kind of stuck. I am not loosing much body fat. I keep putting on more and more muscle. So I dropped my calories to 850/96c/14f/85p. with the amount of cardio I am doing and eating a such a calorie deficit, I would think I would be burning a lot more fat. adding the clen in I thought would help and I would see faster results. My weight has increased from 138lbs to 144lbs and my measurements have stayed the same for the past 2 months. Still at hips 36” waist 27”. The only thing that grew was my butt that’s at 39” which has made me very happy. Been training my glutes a lot more these past 3 months. I have posted a thread under the Nutrition section with my diet and goals and see if I can get some feedback on what I need to do. I want a 6 pack and I know diet is key for that!

    I decided to change my training up as well for the next week. I going to be lifting very heavy doing weight I can only do about 6-8 reps. I am also trying to get my lifts done in an hour making them a lot more intense. I started last night with back. Got through 5 exercises in 1 hour and 40min on Stairmaster. Ohh boyy was it intense felt like I was going to puke after! I was surprised at how strong I am! Today I woke up so sore, so I know I shocked my body with the intense lift. So I will keep everyone updated on how this goes for the next week or so. This well be great way to push myself since it is last few weeks of my cycle.

    Update on the clen. I started back on Monday 4/1/13 doing 100mcgs then day 2 went up to 120mcgs and will be staying at that level. The sides are just enough. I know if I go higher it will be too much. Weird sides I am experiencing. Many people get very wired on clen I am actually getting extremely sleepy and lethargic. I take 30mcgs around 6am and by 9am I am about to fall asleep at my desk at work. My eyes feel so heavy that if I closed them I could easily pass out. Its’ so strange. I still get the shaky/jitteriness. But it also comes and goes the lethargic tired feeling. When I hit the gym around 7pm I still take my normal pre workout drink and I feel fine and have a lot of energy in my workouts. I did a little research and saw some other people experienced the same sides. I found that in people who have ADHD the clen speeds them up so much it actually slows them down, same effect as Ritalin. Hmm always thought I had a little ADHD lol I’ve also noticed I have been feeling extremely cold on days I take no carb and am on clen. Clen normally raises your body temp. What I found out is carbs ingested are converted into heat and since clen elevates your metabolism, when you on a low carb diet (under 50g) your body is using up all it's carbs at an accelerated rate. Thus the feeling of being cold. This is a good sign that the clen is doing its job.

    Day 52

    Diet is such key factor when maximizing your results with bodybuilding/weight training. It is a lot of trial and error and seeing what works for your body. I have been feeling very stuck lately and not losing any body fat. My cardio is on point and I keep increasing it and I’m killing it in the gym so it just was very frustrating not seeing the results I want. I’m am wanting to drop to approx 14%bf I am currently around 18%. I want to get that low because I will feel comfortable at that level and also I am thinking of competing in the future. My calories for the past 2 months have been around 1000. I have had awesome energy being at such a low calorie level, so I never thought my diet was totally wrong. I was seeing awesome muscle gains these past few months as well so I thought my body worked better under lower calories. So I tested out different protein/carb/fat splits to see if that would help. So I increasing the protein in my diet, that only caused me to bloat. I lowered it back down and the bloating went away. I increased carb percentage to 45% ad protein 40% still at 1000cal and still felt the same nothing really noticeable. So I posted up in the nutrition section to really get some help. A few people mention to increase my calories. I finally took the advice and changed my diet to 1300cal 146g carbs 114g protein 29g fat. I changed my diet on Saturday. I did a reefed day on Friday and boy did my body need it. I woke up Saturday feeling awesome and had a flat tummy! Had an awesome workout Saturday morning. Normally after reefed days you feel amazing the next day. It’s been about 3 days on my new diet and boy let me tell you I feel amazing. I have way more energy than I ever had before. In my last post I was saying how tired and lethargic I was feeling from the clen , well that is completely gone. Changing my diet has helped that as well. My body was in need of food and was shutting down. I love the fact I can eat more now J I’m going to measure myself again today and see how I am after a week of this diet. I feel I am going to see great results over the next few weeks. J Sunday I had an awesome leg workout and it was 1000% because of my diet. After 3 days I am already feeling leaner! Really looking forward to seeing how this diet helps with my training and cutting. I am going to measure myself tonight and see how I am after a week. I want to thank everyone who helped me with my diet and gave me a lot of advice. I have a whole new sense of motivation this week. I feel like I am back on track in getting towards my goal of a bad ass body!

    Day 60.
    Coming to an end of my cycle. 10 days to go! I finally figured out what diet works best for my body and am not feeling a million times better and having even more energy in the gym. Wish I knew this when I started my cycle but it is a learning experience and trial an error when it comes to nutrition and fitness. Been taking in 1300 cal and feeling leaner then when I was talking in 850cal. I stopped the clen since it just wasn’t doing anything for me..not really sure why. I was hardly feeling the sides and was at 120mcgs and not really losing any body fat. since I stopped the clen I am not cramping as much. Those muscle cramps are no joke. I was taking in 2000mg taurine and still getting horrible cramps in my calves and feet. I ran out of taurine this past Saturday, but have been off clen so I haven’t had any cramps..thank god!!

    Now that my diet is on point, the next few months after my cycle, I am going to kill it and work my ass off before I start my next cycle (September-ish) and really take myself to another level. I will not be doing a PCT and will continue to report how I feel after my cycle, since there isn’t much advise out there when it comes to PCT. I will post up a few pictures of my progress at the end of my cycle.

    I am still feeling awesome and like superwomen in the gym! J I switched up my training this week and was lifting heavy and less reps and boy did I feel it!! Was so sore each day. It was a great idea to change up my training technique. Now this week I am going back to concentrating on contracting the muscle and squeezing on each rep still going heavy but not to the point of my max. Trying each day to increase cardio to help me burn this fat off and really start to cut up. I have been doing more intense HIIT routines on treadmill.; all out sprints for 30secs and rest 30sec and repeating for a total of 20min on incline. I have build a hell of a lot of muscle these past 60 days and I am very impressed with my fitness level at this point I completed the Spartan race held at Citi field this past Saturday. That was a huge test of endurance and strength. Very happy with my progress and how I have been feeling.

    Only 3 days left on my cycle! It went by so fast. The 5-6 weeks was really trying to figure out my diet because it just wasn’t right. Did a lot of changing/tweaking and finally starting to figure out what works for my body with the helpful advice of a lot of you. I’m eating a lot more now and seeing better results and feeling 100000x better. Wish I knew this when I started to really maximize my results with the var…but now I’m ready for my next cycle J I am thinking of starting up again in august/September and will post another log as well. Right now I’m really focusing on cutting and leaning out. I built a lot of muscle these past 10 weeks more so then I expected! The clen wasn’t really doing anything for me but just making me feel awful so I cut that out I started taking phenolox stimulant sensitive fat burner from metabolic nutrition. I took one today before fast cardio this morning, and I can def feel it working. I feel like I have a tone of energy but none of the shaky/jitteriness which is nice! Plus you only have to take one pill a day! I will keep everyone informed how it helps with my cutting.

    Like I said in a few earlier post I will not being doing a PCT. I will keep a log for the first few weeks and let everyone know how I am feeling. I know the “superwoman” feeling will probably go away, but I am determined to keep my mind focused on my goals and keep pushing myself close to them each day. I’m also looking forward to see what the next month has in store for me. I know I will drop some of the extra water weight from the var and will really start leaning out. I am going to keep training hard focusing a lot on contracting the muscle and squeezing on each lift. I am trying to intensify my lifts but keeping my weight training about 45-60min; leg days is the exceptions that just takes a while! Every few weeks I will do one week of lifting very heavy where I can only do 6-8 reps. With the added energy, I will be really busting out more fasted am cardio. I am doing a lot more intense HIIT; 30-40 second sprints on speed 11 incline 3 and 30 seconds reset for about 20min, increasing the speed and incline last 5 sprints. That’s what I do 5 days a week after my lifts. Also doing intense and fast pace 15min on Stairmaster after the sprints about 3x a week. I really slacked with the fasted am cardio because I was so tired from the lack of food. Now with the fat burner and more food I am able to get up nice and early! Today I was able to completed 20 min HIIT sprints and 15min on Stairmaster fasted at 5am! I just kept thinking to myself how badly I want to lean out. I try and think like competitor and stay focus as if I am prepping for a show. Their minds are so focused and show so much dedication. I plan on competing in the future. Right now I want to see how well I lean out and how great of shape I can get my body in. I only have a year under my belt of lifting and dieting so I am still learning!

    I am going to take my final measurements Saturday. My weight has increased. At first I was a little frustrated, I assumed id drop weight while cutting. But my diet was like causing my body to shut down and not do anything. Plus I gained muscle and also a little water weight from the var so that added to the weight gain. Since I am cutting, I was getting frustrated since I wasn’t losing a lb a week, like most other people who have done a cutting phase. But everyone is different and I know that too but I tend to fall into that girly mind frame sometimes and fall victim to the scale and get stressed about the number. My boyfriend always brings me back to reality and then I realize that it’s just that a number! How I fell is more important and how my clothes fit is the best indicator. To any girl interested in starting a cycle, do not get frustrated with the scale because your weight will most likely increase and your body will change and you will look more muscular and athletic. The var is not a magic pill that will give you that dream body. You need to put in the work! The var will just help you along the journey! Good news is with this new diet and eating more I have lost 3lbs in the past 3 weeks! So a lb a week really feels good!

    My work out last night was Back. I was able to do one full unassisted pull up almost had 2! Finally!! I have been waiting for the day to do a real pull up! Workout was done in about an hour then completed 20min HIIT sprints on treadmill. Heavy hard and intense!

    Final stats:
    waist: 27"
    hips: 36"
    chest: 34.5"
    hips/butt: 39.5"
    weight: 147lbs
    So i gained about 10lbs since i started my cycle and it was definitly all muscle! Didnt think id gain so much but impressed with how i look. My body fat has stayed the same. Now that have the right diet i am carb cycling again and hopefully will be leaning out Now to show all the muscle i built. Very happy with my butt growing an inch and waist shrinking! Overall i am very happy with my progress this cycle. Now im ready to really cut up and become more ripped over next few months. I plan on starting up a new cycle come stember-ish.

    Been off anavar for 5 days now and honestly i am feeling great! The heart burn and muscle cramps are gone. Im still feeling really strong and killing my workouts. I am very focused on reaching my dream body so feeling very motivated. Im feeling leaner being off var. feel like im loosing that water weight since i added a lot more fasted cardio in the morning. am not taking anything for my PCT besides my normal supplements; multi vitamin c fish oil, bcaas.

    Yes im feeling really good! Appreciate all the support! Hope this log can help ladies interested in starting a cycle. I will keep posting for next month since PCT is like an unknown area for women and there r so many mixed reviews on it.

    It seems like good info to have on here. But, whats crazy to me is that quite a few women do it and have no idea about jack shit.


    Kinda, like some guys I talk to who say PCT is just a waste. < umm, okay

    Yes i know i agree!! Many women think var is like a miracle pill or something. And some guys think they will become like arnold schwarzenegger lolol you gotta put in wrk and Your diet and training need to be on point! You definitely need to research and do your homework before you start something like this and think about ur goals and where you want to take your fitness level. I did my homewrk and have my bf who is very into fitness/nutrition and has years of experience that helped guide me.

    For women, there isnt much advice or anyone sharing experiences out on this topic and on pct for women. Women and men have very different experiences wen it comes to Var and the effects. such a lil dose goes a long way for a women. Yeah PCT for guys is a MUST. Hopefully my experiences will help other women interested in starting a cycle.

    So it has been about 2 weeks off the var. i am feeling really good still. Even during my lifts feelling great still as if im still on anvar! i get a lil more tired during my lifts but im still lifting heavy and hard! No weird feelings/sides or any depression. I think many girls research too much wen it comes to pct. there isnt much on the way a girl react but there is a ton on men. men have to have a pct in place wen they come off. I feel there is no need to take anything my body doesnt need and ive had professional women bodybuilder say you do not need pct and they were taking a hire dose than me! For a female coming off there cylce, the biggest advice i can give you is just stay positive and conitue to go hard at the gym! If you keep that "superwomen" beastmode mentality you will conitue to feel great after your cycle!!

    The only thing ive noticed is my bodys hormones are definitly changing and adjusting since my skin has broken out a lot. Breakingbouton my face and Also breaking out in areas i never have before like a lil on my shoulders chest and neck. Nothing too crazy just lil bumps...it's a lil annoying but if this is the only thing that happens then its nothing lol still no period yet...probably will take a good month to get back on track.

    Good info for sure. . . . A bit different from what I seen on here before.


    PCT can not be compared to a guy's PCT. But, in theory you are shutting down your natural test production. Yet, it is so small compared to one of a dude.


    Interesting stuff, thank you for coming back and posting it up. This info is much less common on females for sure.
