Female Var Log

[Soar]

It's a reminder that quality > quantity!!!

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

[twitz]

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.

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.

[ElectraMaddox]

My 1st Alberta winter



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.

Yeah when you come off... Wonder woman goes out the door. I can relate 100 percent to this and I kept going and coming off the aas I felt like a train wreck. I think you're def doing it much better than I did. I just wanted more and more and kept pushing. The aftermath I felt like I was in a car accident for a few days. You're doing good so keep it up!

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.

[ironbeck]

My wife is considering a var cycle so I'm really interested in your progress and your sides. Pls keep up the good work and the detail in your feelings, progress and sides, tks/

[yourmom]

Wondering, Do women have to use a PCT and why? My wife is doing 25mg per day, she wont go higher than that. She's had no sides other than being horny all the time(is that really a side though lol)

She works out every day. I suggested that she join the forum, she said she didn't have time. She has a busy work schedule.

25 mg of anavar????

I'm really not sure, When I get home ill ask her about her total intake.

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

Almost 3 weeks - update

Coming up to the 3 week mark and I am starting to feel things happening. I get a pretty good pump while I’m training, I am getting a bit stronger, more aggressive in my workouts and have put on 6lbs. People have noticed it in my legs, stating that they “look wider”.

I have been feeling pretty good for the most part, but I did go through about 2-3 days of feeling a bit ‘blah’ which dropped my motivation level and threw my diet a little off. I posted earlier about my BF having a hard time getting into his training/diet and I think that was rubbing off on me. He's coming around and that's super - I thank all of you for your help and support with that

Going through those couple of ‘blah’ days I started thinking about my training and nutrition. The first time I ran var I was pretty lean and noticeably leaner within 4 weeks. I was also pretty vascular – veins in both biceps and shoulders without a pump on. This time I started with a higher BF – I had a few months off, then I did GVT and ate 3000-3500 cals/ day and had some extra BF from that. My goal with this cycle has been to add mass to my shoulders and legs, but I am feeling ‘big’ and that’s not making me happy. It’s not the muscle, it’s the extra BF that I’m not used to, so I have changed my training and diet up to lean me out and to see what I actually have built (I have gained about 30 lbs in the past year).

So my new program (and I have done something similar before) is going to be high intensity. Progressive-Resistance-Training. Ouch! The thing that I like about this is that I feel worked/tired during my first exercise. I used to pre-exhaust the muscle I was working and had nice results with that. This will be similar.

Goals going into week #3

- Drop some BF and tighten up – currently 19-20% according to my BF machine
- Follow my new diet – time carbs accordingly – small cheat once a week & full cheat meal on weekend.
- Bring it in all my workouts

I dont think Ive ever asked yet, but what is your end goal right now?

[twitz]

I dont think Ive ever asked yet, but what is your end goal right now?

When I originally started it was to add a bit of size to my shoulders & legs. Earlier this week I was just feeling 'big' and changed things up a bit - post # 122. So now I am trying to lose a bit of BF and gain lean mass while I’m at it. I know it’s a hard thing to do, so I will be tracking my weight & BF weekly. I increased my intensity, more reps, drop sets etc. I also changed up my diet a bit too. I'm going to post that in the diet section to get some thoughts on it. I want my end result to be a ‘tight’ look, not a ‘big’ look if that makes sense?

To the ladies - woman can use anavar during a bulk or a cut - it's your diet and training that will determine your result. A few ladies have asked me if they should try anavar to lean out. Anavar will make you gain weight/mass - it is your diet and training program that will determine how it will look on you. Yes increasing your lbm burns more BF, but you need to work hard also. I know that competitors use it during prep to help preserve muscle during dieting and heavy cardio sessions. Do not look at their physiques and think that a cycle of anavar will make your look that way. They train all year, prep all year, and diet down for 12-16 weeks to look the way they do for that one big day.

*** About 3.5 weeks with the Anavar now. I stilll feel pretty good during my workouts even though I have decreased calories. I have a few little picks on my chest and maybe two on my shoulders/back. Not quite pimples just little red dots. My face is more oily then usual and I'm using blotting papers about twice a day now. Those are the only 'sides' I'm experiencing right now.
