The REVOLUTION of the Female Terminator CONTINUES with ERASE

[Rosie Chee]

INTRODUCTION

The last five weeks did not go as planned and have a been a huge reality check for me, hitting home more than ever how important it is that I start taking care of my HEALTH.

Training is something that I do for ME, initially because I loved it and wanted to, but now that I have a love-hate relationship with it (as I grew to have with my cycling), I do it because I HAVE to. Training is more than just an obsession or compulsion for me - it has been, is, and HAS to be my way of life, and plays a dominant role in the maintenance of my physiological (and mental) health.

Having the last five weeks not go as planned, with the constant adjusting and redirection re my body's responses and reactions, I have had to carefully reconsider my goals. I have not yet decided whether I will compete again or not - although I am leaning towards it, because I want to see what I can do if I REALLY put the effort in; plus, it helps to have a dated end-goal to work towards, AND I hate losing - but I AM going to work on a few areas that if I DO compete again (I will have made this decision by the end of the month), will help present a more balanced figure and the complete package that is desired.

Today is my last day on Driven Sports' Triazole: Completing the Female Terminator's REMODEL with TRIAZOLE (and other Goodies) followed my experience with the product.

Tomorrow I start using Erase - a product in the same category as Triazole. Once again, I am the FIRST female to use this product, logging my experience so that other women can see effects and have some idea of what to expect, etc. should they consider using Erase.




GOALS

The readjusted goal post-competition was: "To do is to get back below 9% bodyfat, then 8% bodyfat, and then LEANER, with the eventual focus to maintain 8-9% bodyfat once I achieve the lowest level of leanness I possibly can."

Because of everything that has happened - especially in the last two weeks - I am no longer going to pressure myself into getting as lean as physiologically possible, because right now my body is fighting every attempt to do that, doing instead what it does best: RECOMPING.

Therefore, looking at what has been, what is, and what will and might be, the more realistic goal is to CONTINUE TO RECOMP whilst maintaining 8-10% bodyfat, with a few other specifics:
* Work on capping my delts and adding a little more mass to my arms
* Build my strength back up
* Get back to a decent level of fitness

I'm starting this log at:
* Body Composition of 9.5% bodyfat
* Body Mass of 115 pounds
* Resting Pulse of 32 beats per minute


TRAINING

I really need to get back into a rigid structure with my training.

Weights

Day 1: Shoulders

Day 2: Arms

Day 3: Full-Body

Day 4: Full-Body

Day 5: Upper Body

Resistance sessions will get done in this order each week. I have a day of just cardio - which will be done where my body feels that it needs it (although I will endeavour to do it on Thursday), and a day OFF ALL training each week (usually Sunday).

I am going back to lower reps, so that I can lift heavier - which means improved strength, more mass, and leanness easier to maintain. I always lift as heavy as I can for the reps I set out to do each session, and I use 30 seconds to 1 minute recovery between sets/supersets/trisets/giant sets.

I do not do any specific work for my legs as my lower body overwhelms my upper body. If I train legs, I gain muscle mass despite what I do and more muscle in my legs is NOT what I want or need. ANY Legs work (i.e. Full-Body days) is going to be specific to Hamstrings, and I will deliberately use lighter weights, bodyweight, or plyometric exercises only.

Cardio

Day 1: HIIT Cardio

Day 2: 20 min Cardio

Day 3: HIIT Cardio

Day 4: 20 min Cardio

Day 5 HIIT Cardio

Day 6: 20 min Cardio

Cardio sessions will get done in this order each week. Note that the days do not "match" the same numbered resistance day.

Flexibility

Stretch 20-30 minutes every training day (i.e. six days a week).


NUTRITION

It's more important than ever now though, that I DO stop or minimize the foods that I am sensitive and have intolerances to, since my body can no longer handle the weekly fluctuations of 10-15 pounds gain and then loss - sometimes over only a few days - in scale weight.

Even though I will be calorie cycling, LISTENING to my body on a daily basis and adjusting my nutrition (as I do my training) as required is KEY.

I have 5-6 meals daily, 2-3 hours apart.

I drink 1-2 UK galleons (a UK galleon is 4.54 litres) of water a day, with the only other liquid that I consume re drinks being herbal or green tea.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." - Marilyn Monroe

COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: Barely slept at all. Woke with a sharp, stabbing pain in my stomach, that took a few hours to dull and still hasn't gone away.

Mood/Aggression: Honestly, I'm too tired and drained to care anymore.

Energy: If I have to do something, I do it. Otherwise, I don't feel like doing anything, especially feeling nauseous and with my stomach the way it is.

Mental Focus and Clarity: I am mentally drained, and I can't afford to be.

Stress: I don't know if it's ever been much higher than this.

Joints: I could hear and feel my elbows clicking during my push/press movements, and my knees went through stages throughout my run of niggling.

Endurance: Got to pick this up quite a lot.

Strength: This week is 'baseline' weights, for me to make comparisons to in weeks to come, since I haven't been focused on strength for the last few months.

Pump: Triceps got more of a pump than biceps, and by the end of Superset B, the pump in the former was PAINFUL.

Vascularity: Veins through anterior delts and biceps good.

Quality of Training: HIIT Run was not the best. I pushed my body as hard as I could. I felt like I was running funny (probably was). Overall was very slow for the distance covered . . . Resistance training was a brief 30 minutes, but I know I WORKED . . .

Recovery: Fine.

Eviscerate Smolder Notes: The burn marks from the daily use of a perpetually scalding wheatie on my stomach during August and September have now gone, five weeks after starting use of Eviscerate Smolder/Flawless.

Other Notes: I think my body needs a detox and a week off ALL supplements - I'd probably feel a lot better for it. But, this is going to have to wait until the end of the year.

I dunno...kinda hard to be a Space Cowboy when commerce is currently only active on one planet. Maybe 2011 will be my year though.

[Rosie Chee]

I'm in. I've been considering using this combination.

I've used 3,7-keto before with FREE TEST, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes on its own.

You mean the Alpha-T2/Erase stack, right - because I am using a HUGE "combination"

I dunno...kinda hard to be a Space Cowboy when commerce is currently only active on one planet. Maybe 2011 will be my year though.

All things are possible. It may take some time (in this case, years), but it's never IMpossible
