Female Log - first cycle

[Capebuffalo]

Great workout. Keep it up.
Next week do the shoulder excersises in reverse order. You'll prehaust your delts before the military press. They will be burning at the end. Kel got me doing that and man it makes a difference.

I like it! For sure taking this advice. I need to do delts first, by the time I got to them.....I was already sore

Day 22

Hi all! Little update. Still at it. Trying to incorporate a new way of training, changing it up. Thanks to all the guys that help me along the way and the advice they have. Everyone is so helpful here. If you are reading this and thinkng about starting a cycle, but are worried, don't be afraid to put yourself out there and ask questions, most here will take the time to help you. They WANT you to succeed. Everyone starts somewhere. If you are like me and have worked out your whole adult life with weights and hiit or just 5 years.......or just starting. Just keep your focus and never stop believing that you CAN DO IT. I trained for bulk, lean, strength, endurance.....every time it's different for me. I LOVE THIS SHIT.

Start of week 2 of new phase.......Saturday Chest, Sunday Hamstrings/Glutes, Monday Shoulders and Arms.......

Will probably rest tomorrow. My body is telling me I need a rest day. 3 good days in the gym has made me a tired girl.

Sides are still the same to date. Actually I feel really good. I don't have any pump really, I am really adjusted well. I know I am healing quicker. My recovery time is quick.

Day 26

I am really learning to love my rest days. I have been really trying to train my body a new way......I am working hard and will get it done. Thanks to some of the vets in here that help me along the way.

I did 1 full week of attacking the new style and I am really confident that next week (starting tomorrow) that I will get even better. Trying to get enough food in is hard. I am trying not to look at the scale either. It's going up......but you must eat to build size. I just have to keep telling myself that. I will be able to cut after this round of var.

Sides to date: heightened sexual experience's, drive the same., I am starting to sweat more than usual at night, some little bumps on my shoulders but my cleanser takes care of those. Retaining water some puff is on for sure....this will go away, I know.

Will update more this weekend! Happy Friday!

I'd love to

But, my bodybuilding/fitness is not my priority atm


Life just gets in the way & I am def a tad burned out - I am still training regularly & what not, but I am def not on the same level as I was about 3 years ago when I was hitting the gym 2x a day - Still maintaining tho

2x a day is a lot. I used to do bootcamps and lift in the same day and my body eventually shut down on me. It was rough.

At least you are still around!!!

Day 39, I believe

I am still here. Been kicking it in the lounge. I have some great motivators over there, that push push push! I am loving my strength improvments. I know from the new way of lifting (thanks to Marcus's HIT Dungeon) and a little help from my friends.......

Sides are actually subsiding in the skin arena. My hair is back to normal. Womanly sides are still there and present.....ladies you can PM me if you want details.

Bulking is tough, but I am doing it. Every day I just keep pushing food down my throat......

I am up in weight, this morning was 7lbs, I know a lot is water weight, but it does creep into my thoughts some. PUT YOUR SCALES away if you are going to cycle. it will only delay your process if you don't.

Be back to give an update next week!!!

[DocToxin8]

Awe thanks I really appreciate that. It's really fun! I had always lifted weights, HIIT style......I have always worked out that way, even when I used to run. I love that it burns the most fat. So when Cape got me over there and I saw that's what they do, I was hooked. It was for sure a new way of lifting for me, but I am LOVING it. It's a blast. My strength is going up a lot from my first week with them.

I really enjoy being with like minded people. The way you just dig deep. It's nice to feel like 'home' somewhere.

Oh, I'm around



Yay, work has come to a near halt this year - kinda of yay at least


Been back at it since the post I made where I said I don't have the time - shit, I'll be living at the gym for the rest of this year from what it looks like - Have been so far

Just read your log! On your first cycle you didn't go down in size with such a low cal diet? Thats pretty crazy, I've only read girls going down.. Hoping thats not my result cause I really want to cut.

How did you feel adding in carbs on the second cycle?

I didn't go down in weight, but I went down in leanness! Most people thought I was smaller than before, but I weighed more. I learned to ignore the scale and pay attention to my measurements and clothes. Muscle weighs more than fat. I tried to do a bulk. I didn't do the food right and some would say I am still not.

I love the carbs!!! I need the carbs. I train very hard, as some of the guys on here will tell you. I push harder than most woman. Carbs are a must, I put on muscle, but lose fat, so I don't worry about the scale. Now if it went over 160, I may freak a little just cause I am girl and have never weighed that. Putting on the 10lbs from var was hard, but I am good with it now. I have a nearly a 6 pack, my waist is still a 27. It just muscle now. Which I love!!! I know it's hard to release the scale, but try not to not let it be your focus. With var you will lean out, put on muscle and the weight may go up, but you will lean out. Don't stress, I was exactly where you are at, just relax and use this cycle to really push! It won't disappoint. Let your muscle eat your fat!

Check out Marcus Hit Dungeon. That's where I post now. I am very active there with a great group of guys!!! Amazing guys actually.

Sorry for the ramble. Ask me anything I am happy to help!!!

I cut after I was down with the var!! And not a true cut, but I went down in weight and numbers and had good muscle.

This cycle end I will do a cut via carb cycle cycling, but during the cycle I push it hard and don't worry about the numbers!!!

How are you Mr.? I need to come check your log on the comp section.

It's been a whirlwind for me completely. Summer is a tough one.

Coming to check you out.

Do you anticipate continuing future cycles to reach a certain goal? It seems you mainly had positive benefits. If you had to label the greatest benefit(ability to recover, ability to train harder in sessions, etc) from your cycle, what would it be?

I am going to do another cycle very soon...days even. I did have mainly positive benefits. I would label both of what you said as the greatest benefits, along with others. I just love the consistency. Have you started your cycle yet? Are you keeping a log yet?
