QUOTE OF THE DAY: "All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth." - Napoleon Hill​

Energy: Fine, today...

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Same weight as last week for BB Military Press and was able to get out more reps each set for more overall volume.

Quality of Training: HIIT was great...Resistance training was just as good...Again, post-weights Gazelle counted as 'pm cardio', since I trained so late...

Body Composition and Look: Not seeing any of the excess of yesterday...

Appetite: Shovelled the carbohydrates and calories in last night. However, unlike usual, when I would have been able to eat the full 250g of chips, the whole large pizza, a full 1kg tub of ice-cream, 250g of chocolate, muffins, and keep on going through anything else that might have been in the house, I was only able to eat the 250g of chips and barely half a pizza. Strange...Thirst clawing away at me...

Immune System: Good (aside from wisdom teeth coming up - but that's not because of poor immunity).

Stress: My wisdom teeth started coming up early this morning before I went to bed...They only do that when I am under the most severe stress...

 

[Bnatural]

Wow, you can pound the food, I thought I was a big eater

 

[islandmagic]

I just sub in- How are liking Bullet proof? And have you tried MST Somnidre-GH sorry if I missed if someone already ask? I have used bullet proof great product and I have tried sample of Somindre too but I could not get a good feel for it on one dose...

 

[Rosie Chee]

Wow, you can pound the food, I thought I was a big eater

Yes. I eat more than everyone I know. Don't look so surprised that until recently I used to do that on a daily basis. An endless vacuum for food

You can read about how I find Bulletproof in my 2010 Training/Supplementation Log - http://anabolicminds.com/forum/workout-logs/142638-female-terminator-chronicles.html - since THIS log is strictly for noting my experience/s with the Shred Ultra/Cordygen5 stack (and other MST products that I use during that time).

Yes, I have tried MST's SOMNIDREN. I made comments about it in posts #15 and #19.

 

[Bnatural]

Daily basis? holy metabolism, thats crazy

[Rosie Chee]

Yes, until only recently, my training was what I used to control my leanness (as I mentioned in post #1 the nutrition plan I am following for January is very OUT OF THE ORDINARY for me),

Very classy and highly appreciated Rosie.

No worries, Chuck. Thank YOU for sending me the samples

1511 - Gazelle 42 min.

1612 - Stretch 23 min.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Do you ever wonder if what you look at is the same thing everyone else is seeing?" - Leslie, Ink Exchange (Melissa Marr)​

Energy: Didn't really have any, despite all the deliberate carbohydrates that I have had over the last three days...

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Hamstrings/Abs' day is NOT about strength.

Quality of Training: Did longer cardio than would usually; just got myself into the drift and kept going...Resistance training was definitely shorter than usual, but got the stretch in my hamstrings that I need and want...

Body Composition and Look: Holding a bit of water (which is to be expected after all the carbohydrates that I have been having).

Appetite: Have had higher carbohydrates than "allowed" the last few days, because my mental alertness and energy has been severely lacking (even more so)...Still drinking heaps, finishing a galleon of water within 5-6 hours of getting up...

Immune System: Suffering a little, perhaps...

Stress: High. Wisdom teeth affecting me more later on in the day...

 

[Bnatural]

You don't know your own associate's names yet?

I have only recently decided to compete and my first competition is planned for April...Yes, I am leaner than I was at the start of the log. However, I am only getting back to the leanness that I usually MAINTAIN all year round (which is between 8-10% BF) - since coming to the US and a few different supplement choices I went up to ~13% BF...As far as competing, no I don't do that. It's only something - as I just mentioned - that I have decided on doing.

Hope so. Thanks for your confidence (fingers crossed)...

 

[Bnatural]

Yes, good luck with the comp. I had intended to do one this year but I can't do anything to make my legs grow.

 

[Rosie Chee]

Yes, good luck with the comp. I had intended to do one this year but I can't do anything to make my legs grow.

Thanks...Yeah, well I'm lucky there; I don't need bigger legs - I carry all my muscle in my back and lower body...Now if only my ARMS would grow!

 

[Aaelael]

Hard work and dedication is something that your not lacking. . .YOU'LL KILL"M WOOO HOOO!!!!! SHEZ INTHE ZONE BABY!!!! WHOOOOO opworm:

 

[CTDeuce]

Yes, good luck with the comp. I had intended to do one this year but I can't do anything to make my legs grow.

have you ever worked with kettlebells? Its great for shocking your muscles and working all of your stabilizers.

 

[Bnatural]

have you ever worked with kettlebells? Its great for shocking your muscles and working all of your stabilizers.

No, I'm working out in my basement now, so I need more standard weights before investing in kettlebells and such. I may be doing some interesting power work this summer with various items i have in my garage (cynder blocks, car tires, sledgehammer, etc.) not sure on how to spell cunder block, maybe synder? anywho.... not yet. Right now adding in DL's, I need to do 520 by June , without steroids:worried: I think I'm at 430 right now, lol

Day 12

Didn't plan on having a day off, but by the time I eventually got up, and because of how I was feeling, it became one.

Endurance/Stamina: Fine.

Strength: N/A.

Quality of Training: HIIT could feel how tired and shattered I was, but pushed on, determined to get it DONE.

Body Composition and Look: Not good at all; all the high carbohydrates from the last few days have been causing water retention and bloating (not helped by the stress and less than usual water consumption).

Appetite: Shovelling in the carbohydrates when up. It's like my appetite has been UNLEASHED...Needing to have more water, though...

Immune System: So-so.

Stress: Have I mentioned HOW stressed I am?!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "You can start out with the best intentions in the world; but somehow one day turns into another and before you know it...You haven?t done half the things you set out to do." - Lexie, Second Sons Trilogy Book II: Eye of the Labyrinth (Jennifer Fallon)​

Energy: SHATTERED...Passed out on the couch from ~1930-2124, adding nearly another 2 hours sleep...

Endurance/Stamina: Ok.

Strength: N/A.

Quality of Training: Working for it during HIIT, and glad when it was over.

Body Composition and Look: Feeling like I would if I had a "that time of the month". Certainly VERY uncomfortable and feeling like I'm holding far too much water and NOT liking it!

Appetite: Forced myself to be good. So what if my body has needed the extra calories and carbohydrates over the last week; I am NOT going to let it continue and ruin my progress (as the week off training and bad week of eating may have slowed it a little as it is)...Haven't been drinking enough and NEED to be...

Immune System: Wisdom teeth seem to not be affecting me as much now.

Stress: The sign is blaring red danger!

MST Notes: Started using Shred Ultra at 3/3 from today.

 

[Rosie Chee]

Day 16

Following in the pattern of the last few weeks and having today as this week's day off (and allowing myself another day to try and pull myself together again)...

Energy: I don't feel like I have anything...

Strength: N/A.

Quality of Training: N/A.

Body Composition and Look: Still sitting at 10% bodyfat; the last week hasn't done too much damage, but it certainly hasn't helped progress.

Appetite: Not wanting to be eating anymore...Need to drink more...MORE...

Immune System: Breathing is hard again...Been getting chills, although not sure what THAT could be from...

Stress: One huge one down...What's left is still excruciating...

 

[Bnatural]

Suffer from asthma? well I guess you'd know the breathing issues then...
hope you feel better. Nice work so far

 

[Rosie Chee]

No, I do NOT have asthma. And no, the breathing issues are NOT from asthma. I know why I have them. End of story.

i like that spice.

All the best, great work g!

LOL. Not meaning to sound as harsh as I am, sorry. Guess I need more time out (sigh)...

 

[islandmagic]

I use a holosync CD for meditation to help my stress.. It take an hour a day but is well worth the time.... I am not saying that I am stress free but my levels of consciousness is high and it keeps every thing in the right light. If you want I can send you a copy just PM me

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.-Albert Einstein

 

[Bnatural]

It's all good, I try not to read into how things are typed on the forums. If you swore at me, it'd be a different story, but everyone reads things differently. People like to emphasize words and it can make any sentence sound like a threat.

Thanks, but it's all good. Meditation does nothing for me. I deal with things in my own way.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Dream a better dream; then work to make it real." - Max, The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl​

Energy: Have none. I feel so flat and exhausted and not like I could do much right now...

Endurance/Stamina: Fine.

Strength: N/A.

Quality of Training: Even though I felt like the dead walking I WANTED to train. Do SOMEthing. Not let this week be like last week. Every jump I made when skipping just caused my head to hurt, pounding like it was going to explode. Managed as best I could for 20 minutes and called it a day.

Body Composition and Look: This morning there were deep grooves in my upper abs. Looking better, even though last week was bad re training and nutrition.

Appetite: Having - and needing - to be good...

Immune System: Been getting chills and going hot and cold for the last day or so.

Stress: One more thing on top on another...

Other Notes: Today I used the last of my RPM, so going to be without it for a while...Also, have decided that, as I do with my Day Off, I am going to have my HIT day whenever I feel that it is necessary to insert between days 1 to 5, and just continue on with them consecutively after either a Day Off or HIT day.

 

[Rosie Chee]

Day 18

Another day OFF...NOT liking how this week has started out...But I can guarantee that it will NOT end like it started, and be nothing like last week!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Sometimes when you catch someone unaware at just the right time and in just the right light, you can catch sight of what they will be." - Mattie, A Northern Light (Jennifer Donnelly)​

Energy: Still woke feeling like sh*t, but with a little more than I have had...

Endurance/Stamina: N/A.

Strength: N/A.

Quality of Training: N/A.

Body Composition and Look: Holding water and not feeling very comfortable.

Appetite: The bottomless pit. The endless vacuum...

Immune System: Still getting chills. But getting better (I think)...

Stress: I am not helping...

 

[Bnatural]

I may have eaten more than you today, this is one meal not 1 day though, 1.5lbs of wing dings and 1lb of potato salad. It wasn't intentional, but I was hungry and stopped in walmart and bought what they had left.

1545 - Gazelle 20 min.

1610 - Stretch 20 min.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "This is a broken world. Nothing in it is fair...But it's when you stop expecting that it will be, that miraculously you are given the strength to survive, the grace to forgive, and enough love that you can carry on fighting. It's the knowledge that one day this fight will be over, and that everything will be put right, and that all the pain and sadness will be so utterly forgotten. It will be as if it never was." - Anna van Homrigh, The Star Locket (Natalie Jane Prior)​

Energy: Had more energy today. Didn't feel like I was the walking dead, which is so refreshing...

Endurance/Stamina: Good.

Strength: Better in some areas and not in others.

Quality of Training: My skipping rope broke 48 seconds into HIIT Skip, so I had to improvise and ended up doing HIIT on the Gazelle. Was different, but ok...Resistance training was good. Right anterior delts hurting during BB Military Press, and pushing through for more afterwards...Post-weights gazelle was good...

Body Composition and Look: So far from where I want to be. Feel like the last 10 days has set me back a bit, and that may be, but not going to let it continue.

Appetite: Only what I've had to today...Thirst back...

Immune System: Starting to feel 'normal' again.

Stress: Some stress. Less than yesterday...

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "You have to make a decision what you want to be in life. If you want something special then you have to sacrifice a lot. I get the most satisfaction out of things not everybody experiences." - Arnold Schwarzenegger​

Energy: Definitely had energy once up...

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Hamstrings' sessions are NOT about strength.

Quality of Training: Cardio was fine; sweating a bit more than have been lately...Resistance training was good. Focused. Time passed quickly...So thirsty; drank 4 litres of water during my training period of ~2.5 hours!

Body Composition and Look: Still feeling soft and out of shape. But it shouldn't take long - less than 2 weeks - to get back there.

Appetite: Fine...Thirsty as. Consumed over 5 litres in the first 4 hours of getting up (and the day hasn't ended yet)!

Immune System: Fine.

Stress: Hasn't had enough time to catch up with me yet today...

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Fear is in the mind. Like pain, it can be controlled. If I face it it cannot master me." - The Master, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Nightmares​

Mental Alertness/Focus: My mental focus started waning at ~0600, but forced myself to stay up and awake because I wanted to train in the morning, so that I can get back into a regular sleeping pattern and schedule - which I so desperately NEED. Head has been foggy and out of it most of the day, including during training, and tried sleeping, but couldn't...

Energy: Have had none since ~0600, even though I trained...Spent the bulk of the afternoon cuddled up on the couch with the cat, feeling nauseous...

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Ok.

Quality of Training: Considering I felt like passing out throughout most of my training, it was an achievement...During resistance training in recovery periods I was lying on the floor, heart feeling like it was going to burst out of my chest! Also felt really nauseous and like I wanted to be sick. Odd...

Body Composition and Look: Getting there...

Appetite: Not really in the mood for eating...2 galleons of water down so far today...

Immune System: Fine.

Stress: Feeling it again.

 

[Rosie Chee]

Day 22

2202 - Stretch 20 min.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "A man can persuade himself to the necessity of anything, if he has the will to." - Yugi, The Ascendancy Veil (Chris Wooding)​

Energy: None. But I forced myself to train - got to, to keep it going...

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Full-Body sessions are not about strength, and it achieved what it was meant to.

Quality of Training: Same as yesterday, feeling like I was going to pass out or collapse or something during training today...Pre-weights cardio was a blur, not wanting to be doing it, and concentrating on when it would be over...Resistance training was an effort, making sure I was completely focused during each set, eventually lying on the ground to catch my breath and my bearings towards the later supersets. So tempted to go lighter or do less reps or be easier on myself, with the justified excuse that I am fatigued, but that won't fly...Didn't even want to do post-weights cardio, so barely with it by the end...

Body Composition and Look: 112.6 lb at 9.5% bodyfat...Can tell re leaning in back...Feeling tighter, but still a little soft and as if holding water (which is not surprising considering the 10 litres I drank yesterday, and the 5 litres I've drunk since waking)...

Appetite: I want to eat and yet I don't...

Immune System: Been 'cold' a lot of the day. Chills, and then feeling on fire...Sigh...

Stress: I know it's there. I feel too shattered to care much right now, though.

Other Notes: My current bottle of NeoVar Recomped runs out today, so I will be without creatine until my new one gets here - which could be about a week (better not be any longer).

 

[Rosie Chee]

Day 23

Today is this week's Day OFF...

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Success belongs to those too small to carry what they believe in, but too stubborn to leave it behind." - The Word for Today (Bob & Debbie Gas)​

Energy: Glad that it's my Day Off...

Endurance/Stamina: N/A.

Strength: N/A.

Quality of Training: N/A.

Body Composition and Look: My body is very different to how it was the last time I was 9.5% bodyfat. I have more muscle mass, and girths are bigger - +1.5 inches in shoulders, +2 inches in chest, + 1 inch in waist, +2 inches in hips, + 2.5 inches in legs (1cm below gluteal fold). I KNOW. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Appetite: Today is the day my body 'catches up' on the rest of the week (well, before the rest of the week)...Need to drink more water - a few days of 5-10 litres of water daily, and then the huge 400+g of carbohydrates this morning and then again tonight, makes me not want to drink much today...

Immune System: Still feeling chills - could be from a few days ago when I went outside in nothing but a t-shirt, barefoot and all, to get the mail - but ok.

Stress: Days like this I feel it heavier than usual...I've been told that I don't let it bother me as much when I have more sex (interesting)...

 

[CTDeuce]

here's to hoping you got some boom boom in the bedroom so you can stop stressing so hard

LOL, that's never a problem, Chuck. The stress comes and stays regardless.

2. Lateral Raises 4 x 15
3. Bent Over Rear Raises 4 x 12

1936 - Gazelle 36 min.

2015 - Stretch 20 min.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "To dream is to awaken the soul, it is to set free the mind and spirit and sail away on a journey of hope! To dream is to build castles out of clouds and realities out of wishes! It is to give meaning to the word 'belief'. To dream is to hear music in the silence of thought! To dream is to abandon the fear of limitation, to unlearn scepticism and doubt, and boldly embrace each day as a miraculous adventure! To dream is to see beyond the horizon and to know that we are capable of anything our hearts desire!" - Claire Jensen ​

Energy: Fine.

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Good.

Quality of Training: Was blah. Not wanting to be there, but doing it anyway...I'm going to start running again tomorrow - haven't done that in just over a month - and hopefully it will shock my body some and kickstart the results process again...

Body Composition and Look: Days like today and I just hate what I see.

Appetite: Not wanting to eat, but wanting to (I know, today is the day for feeling like this)...Not really wanting to drink, either, but forcing myself to (need at LEAST a galleon of water DAILY)...

Immune System: All the food I ate yesterday is NOT helping...

Stress: It's there all right, the little black cloud on one shoulder...

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "To dream is to awaken the soul, it is to set free the mind and spirit and sail away on a journey of hope! To dream is to build castles out of clouds and realities out of wishes! It is to give meaning to the word 'belief'. To dream is to hear music in the silence of thought! To dream is to abandon the fear of limitation, to unlearn scepticism and doubt, and boldly embrace each day as a miraculous adventure! To dream is to see beyond the horizon and to know that we are capable of anything our hearts desire!" - Claire Jensen ​

Energy: Fine.

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Good.

Quality of Training: Was blah. Not wanting to be there, but doing it anyway...I'm going to start running again tomorrow - haven't done that in just over a month - and hopefully it will shock my body some and kickstart the results process again...

Body Composition and Look: Days like today and I just hate what I see.

Appetite: Not wanting to eat, but wanting to (I know, today is the day for feeling like this)...Not really wanting to drink, either, but forcing myself to (need at LEAST a galleon of water DAILY)...

Immune System: All the food I ate yesterday is NOT helping...

Stress: It's there all right, the little black cloud on one shoulder...

I always believed a good run was good for the body as well as the soul. Hope it helps you get things rolling in the right direction.

I miss running. My body actually does BEST when I use sprinting (re running) as HIIT and cycling for longer cardio. Faster results as well. Although I have to be careful not to OVERdo it, else my legs just gain more mass - whether I am in the gym or not (sigh).

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The past is something you learn from, not something you dwell upon." - Sean Scott ​

Energy: A few lightheaded spells, but otherwise ok...Running took something out of me...

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Fine.

Quality of Training: Yes, so decided on doing HIIT Run today, instead of 20-40 minutes cardio...HIIT Run was ok. First two efforts I was like a little rocket. After that I started fading, and the last two efforts were pitiful, albeit still going as fast as I could for them both. Was shattered after only eight efforts, so let it go only having done 12 minutes and not the 20-minute minimum...Resistance session was good. Different being back in the gym to training downstairs in the basement (although I get good sessions done there). Able to do slightly more in the gym, since I don't have that huge a selection of dumbbells at home, and enjoyed it...Spin Bike was ok. Been a while since I cycled as well, but body handled that better than the running...

Body Composition and Look: Can only get better...Right...

Appetite: Normal...Drinking again...

Immune System: Chills have gone.

Stress: Trying to think of OTHER things...

I'm glad you two have found the time

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger​

Energy: Good.

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Hamstrings' day is NOT about strength, but the STRETCH.

Quality of Training: Definitely got to get AWAY from the Gazelle - use it only for pm cardio sessions...HIIT was ok...Resistance session was good...Pm cardio passed quickly...

Body Composition and Look: Feel like I am holding a lot of water...Nowhere near the condition I SHOULD be in by now (and got to stop thinking about where I should be and would be if the last two weeks hadn't happened)...

Appetite: Fine...Water consumption normal...

Immune System: I am getting very used to my body, and in tune with it. I am becoming more and more sensitive to changes in blood sugar and insulin levels (something I need to control more). It's a learning curve, with a few revelations I wish weren't so, but are definitely for the better.

Stress: Still trying to think of other things (or this can get so bad)...Got told that I do it to myself, get myself so worked up, that I cause my own spikes in cortisol (probably true), and it needs to STOP...

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "If you want something really bad, only you have the power to make it happen." - Michelle Levesque ​

Energy: Top of the line.

Endurance/Stamina: Excellent.

Strength: Full-Body sessions are not about strength.

Quality of Training: Gazelle was all good - albeit I don't think it is intense enough to pass as cardio for me; got to be running or skipping or cycling (my body, although used to this, responds very well re fat loss when I cycle, and I can always maintain >80% HRmax)...Resistance training was good. High pump and burning...Post-weights cardio fine...

Body Composition and Look: Still feel quite heavy in the pit of my stomach, like I am holding water, but noticing that I'm starting to look slightly leaner...

Appetite: High in the early hours of the morning...Water intake good...

Immune System: Definitely need to control my insulin levels better...A slight swelling of my neck glands. I know what is causing it...

Stress: REALLY working to put this out of my mind, even though it's beating at me...

Other Notes: I have three days of Corgygen5 left. After that I will give a review on Shred Ultra/Cordygen5...I will also stop using Bulletproof when I am finished with Cordygen5...From Tuesday I will be starting my competition preparation stack: Amphetalin, IGF-2, and Sustain Alpha (along with my basics, of course).
