It's amazing how much some foods cause bloat. Stay the course!
Don't lose sight of where you started!
Wow, loved reading your log and seeing your progress. Congrats! Looking amazing. I just started my first ever Var only cycle. Reading all the ladies logs, really helps me and I love the progress!
Thanks for sharing your story.

I am really excited my friend (coach) got it for me and its clean gear. I did order the test kit to be safe (I haven't received it yet), but it's out of his personal stash so I know he wouldn't give me something that isn't good. I just created my own log and would love if you had any advice for me. I heard my first cycle would be killer, I am trying to figure out food without gaining too much weight. I am a huge food preparer and have been for years. I am finally adding in more complex carbs to get more energy for lifts, I eat a ton of protein, I don't want to over eat though and gain too much. My goal is to gain lean muscle and looked ripped. I love that look on woman, I think yours is awesome.
You're doing great!

Awww thanks, it helps being short so my muscle looks bigger...plus my metabolism is rather slow so it's easy for me to put on size both muscle and fat and harder for me to lose. I think my coach may have the right combo now but we shall see. I am dealing with constipation so he is having me use a fiber supplement twice a day to help get things moving again.
You should ask him about Magnesium Calm. It's incredible. It cleans me right out. Really good for muscle soreness too! Check it out. I love it.
My metabolism is on the faster side, since I am on lots of thyroid medications.........
Oh we just be long lost sisters. Lol.Originally Posted by megang
Shorter. Easy gainer. Poor digestion.![]()
Thanks for the suggestion!Originally Posted by akdanielle
Looking great! Amazing shoulders!!!
Trained legs yesterday so today was arms and shoulders.
I am trying a new schedule, lifting every muscle group every 4 days, so the schedule would look something like this
1: back/chest
2: legs
3: shoulders
4: only cardio
5: chest/back
6: legs
7: shoulders
8: only cardio
9: back/chest
Etc, you get the idea
I feel this will give me enough time in between workouts to give my body the time I need to recover and be able to really work hard and have energy in all of my workout sessions.

You will get better results with more rest. You have zero complete rest days.Originally Posted by megang
True, I actually took Wednesday off which would have been just cardio anyways but I have been working 10 hour shifts and it's killing my workouts

Here is the workout schedule my coach wants me to follow, cardio on off days and cutting carbs in half on off days as well
1. Legs/Extra back
2. Chest/Delts
3. OFF
4. Back/Extra delts
5. Arms
6. Extra chest
7. OFF
legs and back together seems like to much. I would break them up. Training the two biggest body parts together ensures one of them is going to get neglected.Originally Posted by megang
What does extra back mean? Full back or just a few?Originally Posted by megang
Cutting back on carbs sounds good. Carb cycling has worked for many!
Looking good!
Nice updates. You are really looking fabulous!
Today was my low carb day....It sucked....I was hungry all day and then tanked about half way through my cardio. Tomorrow is back to normal!
Love the honesty!!!! LolOriginally Posted by megang

It's amazing how contestants transform the physique for competition. You'll get there!Originally Posted by megang
I think it's a mind game. Putting on muscle and cutting fat but the scale doesn't click down as quickly as when you are just cutting versus recomping.
I've lost 5 pounds in the last month. I've been using your progress as my motivation. If Megang can do this....lol![]()
I think you look great!! You are doing amazing.
Your abs are staring to pop and back is leaning out!
Bloat?!? Check your egg whites - some are higher in sodium.
