Hey Rosie, my Igf-2 came in! In the midst of a week break from training. Will start taking it on Thursday. What is the best way to dose it? I see online it says 3x/day but I remember hearing that the new formula only needs to be takin twice/day :think:
thanks a lot for the sample bottle!

Yes, the new formula only needs to be taken twice a day.
Dosing/Timing for you:
Dose 1 - 4 caps first thing in the morning
Dose 2 - 4 caps last thing at night
I would recommend halving the dosage for the first few days (i.e. 2-3 caps twice daily), though, just to assess tolerance, since some of the guys have commented on lethargy starting out at full dose.

Day 17
0444 - HIIT Rollers:
a. 4 min in 39x16 @ 70-75% HRmax @ 108 rpm
b. 8 x 20 sec effort/10 sec easy in 39x16 (HR 100-104% age-predicted HRmax, rpm N/A)
c. 1 min in 39x18 @ 108 rpm (HR dropped back to 70% HRmax)
d. 1 min in 39x17 @ 108 rpm (HR dropped back to 65% HRmax)
e. 10 min in 39x16 @ 75% HRmax @ 108 rpm
Wow, is all I can say for this. Started off at what has become pretty 'standard' for the first few minutes of my Rollers' HIIT sessions. But in the efforts, man, 203 bpm!!! Good to know that I can still get my HR up that high ('technically', my age predicted HRmax is 196 bpm); but the fact that it happened today was almost disturbing, really. Yes, efforts are hard. And yes, they were VERY PAINFUL today (like they were on Monday), with me wanting to scream at the end of them and just get off my bike and leave it at that (but I didn't). HR during efforts stayed at 196-203 bpm. Which is pretty unusual (I'm wondering if it's related to all the panic attacks I was having yesterday, and my difficulty breathing over the last couple of days), since I've been struggling to get it up lately. And it plummeted rapidly when I'd finished, continuing to drop for 2 minutes, even when I lifted the pace a little in the second minute. I shall be watching what my HR does over the next few days with interest...
0527 - Stretch 25 min.
0609 - Full-Body (1 min recovery):
1. BB FS 2 x 6
2. BB RD (on step) 4 x 12
3. BB BOR 4 x 6
4. Flat BB BP 4 x 6
5. BB SP 4 x 12
6. Dips 4 x 12 SUPERSETTED WITH 7. DB ZC 4 x 12
Walked into the gym with dragging feet. After the HIIT I was pretty shattered, and felt like being sick...Started off with a few short, sharp sets of BB FS. Easy as...Moved to BB RD. These are getting easier, too, even on the step; and not really feeling much of a stretch (maybe get a HIGHER step/box, and see how low I can go without falling over?) Might increase the weight, or stretch it out to 15-20 reps from now on...BB BOR done well. No 'slipping' hands today. Delts looking awesome doing these, and brachial veins straining against the skin...Flat BB BP. The same weight as I used last Full-Body session (Saturday), and managed (albeit struggling on the last set) to do these better than expected. I felt like I was either going to pass out of throw up after every set. But, a weight increase again next time...BB SP, I had to keep drop-setting my weight today, when my right biceps tendon started to burn so painfully that lifting my arm was a battle, to get my 12 reps per set out. And then increasing the weight again for the next set, only to drop it after 7-8 reps each set. But, done...Dips, my arms were screaming. No mercy, and it was straight to DB ZC after each set. I managed fairly well here, surprisingly (need to remember to tilt wrists more, though). Arms were looking good during these (can't wait until I am leaner again!)...A VERY GOOD session...
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2200-0330 (waking at 0315), so ~5.5 hours sleep. And yes, I DID get up early this morning; although it took a good 10 minutes of poking and prodding and shaking and eventually trying to lift me up, before I did (and I was so shattered that I don't even recall waking to turn off the 0315 alarm). So, sore, red eyes, and a less than enthusiastic Rosie up early today...
Mental Alertness/Focus: Been there. Made some progress with assignments, which is good. I honestly can't wait to be done with this!
Energy: Ok. Walked into school today (and I'm glad I don't live in Dunedin or Wellington right now, with the strong winds, since it'd be a battle to be walking anywhere). Suddenly felt myself 'crash' ~ 1445...
Motivation: Back and in full force.
Mood/Aggression: Pretty flat. Just pretty fatigued, really...
Stress: Very high. Still.
Libido: Um, possibly?
Joints: Good.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: Getting better!
Quality of Training: Excellent (the resistance session, anyways...)
Pump and Vascularity: Good pump in the gym...Vascularity pretty good, too...
Muscle Hardness/Density: There.
Body Composition and Look: Looking a bit better in the latter half of today...
Overall Sense of Feeling: Ok. Fatigued. But better than I have been for the last few days...

Day 18
0750 - Rollers:
a. 7 min in 39x16 @ 75-80% HRmax
b. 13 min in 39x16 @ 80-85% HRmax
HR was able to get up without TOO much effort, which is a nice change. Body just ached all over...
0812 - Stretch 20 min.
1014 - Work: CityAbs 24 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2030-0632 (waking at 0315, 0330, and 0423), so ~10 hours sleep. All very deep and dark and full of disturbing dreams. I woke at all the usual times, but depsite my MIND wanting to get up for training, my body just wouldn't move...
Mental Alertness/Focus: I was there this morning at work. But after 1300 I have wanted to be doing nothing but losing myself in a book. Crashed at ~1430 when finished at school...
Energy: Not really had a lot. One of my clients commented that I looked 'flat', and 'not like you usually do'; which means that the fatigue is showing, despite my best attempts to hide it behind a smile...
Motivation: Excellent. For some reason I wanted to binge today. But I WASN'T hungry. And didn't know what I wanted. The Lean Extreme has been great for appetite suppression, and events over the last few days have made me lose my appetite, as it was. But, NO cheating for Rosie. Which, for Rosie, is an achievement at the moment...
Mood/Aggression: Pretty flat for most of the day. And then aggressive as hell ~1630-1730, with it lingering still...
Stress: Very, very high!!!
Libido: The hint that was there for the shortest of moments earlier this afternoon has definitely gone now...
Joints: Good.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: N/A.
Quality of Training: Good.
Pump and Vascularity: No pump...Vascularity best first thing in the morning or last thing at night these days...
Muscle Hardness/Density: Not as hard as I'm wanting...
Body Composition and Look: The grooves between the top four abs were very noticeable this morning. Looking like I'm leaning in lower body now, but looking softer in upper body for some reason...
Overall Sense of Feeling: Just tired. Resistance sessions definitely taking more out of me than what they used to. I just want to be back to 'normal'...

Day 19
0749 - HIIT Rollers:
a. 4 min in 39x16 @ 75-85% HRmax @ 112-114 rpm
b. 8 x 20 sec effort/10 sec easy in 39x16 (HR 90% HRmax, rpm N/A)
c. 2 min in 39x18 (HR dropped back to ~67% HRmax)
d. 50 min in 39x18 @ 65-75% HRmax @ 112-114 rpm
So, yes, did HIIT. Legs were screaming and in pain during efforts (as they have been the last couple of times I've done this session), and efforts were getting slower and slower. HR was interesting, but not as high as what it was on Wednesday. Because my legs were so much in pain, I decided to read in finishing the last 10 minutes of the session off (as well as going down in gears). Once I set the music to the pace I wanted, then it was attention on the book while my body moved on 'autopilot'. Got so lost in the book that when 30 minutes came I wanted to keep reading, and so kept on. In the end it became a 60-minute session, which is the LONGEST cardio session I have done in a VERY long time (since my cycling days). It was good, though. Reading took my mind off the sensitivity of my body (although after 40 minutes the seat was becoming uncomfortable, (cycling shorts are useless) and I had to keep adjusting my position so that it didn't hurt so sharply). HR dropped in the last minute, right back to 60% HRmax, which was also interesting...I should probably do MORE sessions of such duration and/or intensity, but unless I have a decent book to occupy me, then, shrug...
0852 - Stretch 24 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2200-0630 (waking at 0315, 0330, and 0423), so ~8.5 hours sleep. So, less than it has been, but still too much (and yesterday I didn't even do a RESISTANCE session). Woke well at 0315 and 0339, but body, again, wasn't wanting to be moving and I curled up more within the sheets...Maybe a Full-Body resistance session tonight, or only three resistance sessions this week (grrrr...)
Mental Alertness/Focus: All been doing today really has been reading (yes, for RELAXING...)
Energy: Been there. Slowly. Been reading for 5-6 hours today (great when a book/series captures me like that and I can't put it down)...But fatigued some...
Motivation: Seeing the results of good, clean diet is serious motivation.
Mood/Aggression: No aggression...Just smiles and a wicked glint in Rosie's eye...
Stress: High. But ignoring...
Libido: Yeah, um, been VERY there. All the naughty things I would like to be doing if I could...
Joints: No worries.
Endurance: So very there.
Strength: N/A.
Quality of Training: It was a longer session that usual, but it was worth it.
Pump and Vascularity: No pump...Vascularity has been good...
Muscle Hardness/Density: Legs and glutes.
Body Composition and Look: Breasts are fuller (and very sensitive and tender)...Midsection coming along, with abs becoming more defined...Along with hips...Yay...
Overall Sense of Feeling: Despite the hols coming to an end on Sunday and the last term starting, I'm pretty relieved, although stressed to the point of screaming (but only 5 more weeks to endure!)...Got brother's 18th birthday party tomorrow night; so that will be interesting...

Thanks, Nick. Depends what your definition of 'lean' is; I don't consider MYSELF lean unless I'm less than 9.5% BF, and I'm not quite there yet (yes, I know, critical AND harsh; get used to it!)

Day 20
0815 - 4.2km Run:
So, yes, decided on a run, since it was a nice, sunny, warm morning. First km was ok at 4.58 min (although, slower than 'acceptable', but still within the limits). Second km was slower at 4.83 min, third even slower at 5.17 min, and last km yet slower at 5.47 min. So, NOT cool. I enjoyed the run, despite the slowness. It just means that I shall just have to push my body just that much HARDER from now on (and start running regularly again, instead of using the rollers).
0920 - Full-Body (1 min recovery between sets; except SCR - 30 sec, and CG PU - 3 min):
1. Alt. BB L - forward (onto box) 2 x 20 SUPERSETTED WITH 2. Alt. DB L - backward 2 x 20
3. SCR 6 x 6
4. CG PU 2 x 10
5. BB BOR 2 x 6
6. P/U (feet on bench, hands on m/b) 2 x 10
7. Flat BB BP 2 x 6
8. DB LR 4 x 15 SUPERSETTED WITH 9. Inc. DB RR 4 x 12
10. Dips 2 x 15 SUPERSETTED WITH 11. DB ZC 2 x 15
12. Weighted Dips 2 x 10 SUPERSETTED WITH 13. Alt. DB HC 2 x 20
Since the run wasn't satisfactory, it was time to hammer the body in the gym...Started with a superset of Alt. BB L and Alt. DB L. 20 reps per exercise each set this time. Hamstrings were SCREAMING by the 12th rep of the second set of Alt. BB L (don't seem to feel them as much when doing DB L), but it was a GOOD pain that Rosie soldiered through...Next was SCR, which I have not done in a couple of weeks. At the fully loaded stack these were still no problem. But I will be sticking to 6 reps, since the heavy weight, low reps, low rest, seems to work the best for bringing out the definition in my calves...CG PU. 10 reps pumped out easily for 2 sets. Even with an extra 4kg (i.e. 8.8lb)...Next to BB BOR. 6 reps per set. Easy...P/U for Chest. 10 reps shakily done for 2 sets...Moving to Flat BB BP, where I did the heaviest weight that I have in a while, struggling...DB LR I used a lighter weight than normal for, since I wanted the higher reps; and even then sometimes it felt almost too easy. Delts and arms looking really good here, and seeing both brachial veins strong as anything...Inc. DB RR was a bit of a battle, even at the weight I used last week, with forearms screaming (and Rosie almost falling off the bench after some sets, she was that exhausted)...Finishing off with Arms and a couple of different high-rep supersets. First was Dips (b/w) and DB ZC. Arms screaming during the last 5 reps on DB ZC, especially since I used a heavier weight. For the last 2 sets of Dips, added a DB between my feet, to make for an extra 17.5kg (i.e. 38.5lb) of weight to b/w, and did 10 reps. Heavier weight for more reps for Alt. DB HC...Finished the session in a sweat and almost ready to collapse. But a VERY happy girl!...I'm finding that doing a couple of higher and then lower (or vice versa) sets for Back and Chest, and changing exercises, is giving me better results (and adding variation) to my resistance sessions, so...SMILE!
1035 - Stretch 22 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2100-0630 (waking at 0615), so ~9.5 hours sleep. Deep and dreaming. Surprisingly awake and spry on waking...
Mental Alertness/Focus: Yep, been there.
Energy: Apart from the run, it's been there in bucketloads!
Motivation: VERY there!
Mood/Aggression: No aggression (yes, even when I saw my MUM!) Just lots of happy Rosie today.
Stress: Put it aside for the day.
Libido: Yes, definitely had moments...
Joints: No worries.
Endurance: Excellent.
Strength: Improving!
Quality of Training: Actually, aside from the run, the resistance session was excellent. The Full-Body work is really doing something great for Rosie right now.
Pump and Vascularity: Wicked pump in the gym. And it lasted for quite a while afterwards, too...Vascularity was knots and blueness all day!
Muscle Hardness/Density: There.
Body Composition and Look: Still leaning, albeit slowly. But it's happening...
Overall Sense of Feeling: So, brother's 18th birthday. Party out at the beach, which was great. I miss being able to hear the ocean and run along the sand whenever I feel the fancy. Anyways, food was great, company was great, fire was great. A general good time and happy atmosphere. A nice time away from reality for a while. Saw my family, saw my boys, saw my best friends...And then the news towards the end of the day that the guy I've been 'helping' for competition placed second in his FIRST competition...I was in a 'happy' place...

Easy...P/U for Chest. 10 reps shakily done for 2 sets...Moving to Flat BB BP, where I did the heaviest weight that I have in a while, struggling...DB LR I used a lighter weight than normal for, since I wanted the higher reps; and even then sometimes it felt almost too easy. Delts and arms looking really good here, and seeing both brachial veins strong as anything...Inc. DB RR was a bit of a battle, even at the weight I used last week, with forearms screaming (and Rosie almost falling off the bench after some sets, she was that exhausted)...Finishing off with Arms and a couple of different high-rep supersets. First was Dips (b/w) and DB ZC. Arms screaming during the last 5 reps on DB ZC, especially since I used a heavier weight. For the last 2 sets of Dips, added a DB between my feet, to make for an extra 17.5kg (i.e. 38.5lb) of weight to b/w, and did 10 reps. Heavier weight for more reps for Alt. DB HC...Finished the session in a sweat and almost ready to collapse. But a VERY happy girl!...I'm finding that doing a couple of higher and then lower (or vice versa) sets for Back and Chest, and changing exercises, is giving me better results (and adding variation) to my resistance sessions, so...SMILE!
1035 - Stretch 22 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2100-0630 (waking at 0615), so ~9.5 hours sleep. Deep and dreaming. Surprisingly awake and spry on waking...
Mental Alertness/Focus: Yep, been there.
Energy: Apart from the run, it's been there in bucketloads!
Motivation: VERY there!
Mood/Aggression: No aggression (yes, even when I saw my MUM!) Just lots of happy Rosie today.
Stress: Put it aside for the day.
Libido: Yes, definitely had moments...
Joints: No worries.
Endurance: Excellent.
Strength: Improving!
Quality of Training: Actually, aside from the run, the resistance session was excellent. The Full-Body work is really doing something great for Rosie right now.
Pump and Vascularity: Wicked pump in the gym. And it lasted for quite a while afterwards, too...Vascularity was knots and blueness all day!
Muscle Hardness/Density: There.
Body Composition and Look: Still leaning, albeit slowly. But it's happening...
Overall Sense of Feeling: So, brother's 18th birthday. Party out at the beach, which was great. I miss being able to hear the ocean and run along the sand whenever I feel the fancy. Anyways, food was great, company was great, fire was great. A general good time and happy atmosphere. A nice time away from reality for a while. Saw my family, saw my boys, saw my best friends...And then the news towards the end of the day that the guy I've been 'helping' for competition placed second in his FIRST competition...I was in a 'happy' place...

Day 21
So today was this week's Day Off, despite the protest of Rosie's mind...
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~0010-1002 (waking at 0615, 0630, and 0723), so ~9.5 hours sleep (since was semi-awake for a little at 0723). Sleep full of dreams, not as disturbing as they have been. All very deep. Not refreshing, though, since woke feeling like I'd been run over with a steamroller...
Mental Alertness/Focus: Not there, today. So I've told myself that study shall start for PROPER tomorrow, and until my last exam is over, there shall be no more excuses or procrastination...
Energy: Fatigued pretty much all day. I WAS going to go to the gym for a Full-Body session and make sure I got in at LEAST three sessions this week, and had had all my pre-gym supplements, etc., but I was just too knacked...
Motivation: To get everything done proper, and to get to Rosie's 'happy' place and STAY there, hell YEAH!
Mood/Aggression: Not a lot of anything today...
Stress: Ignoring, still. It shall descend upon me tomorrow, no doubt...
Libido: Um, not really. Been too ****ed...
Joints: All fine.
Endurance: N/A.
Strength: N/A.
Quality of Training: N/A.
Pump and Vascularity: No pump...Vascularity awesome, though...
Muscle Hardness/Density: There.
Body Composition and Look: Bit soft after all that food yesterday (yes, I know; but I wasn't as bad as I would usually have been!)
Overall Sense of Feeling: This week has been pretty shite overall, not starting well, and then just...But anyways, diet has been better, improved even from last week, so that's SOMEthing...Everything will be better next week, though. And get back into training, starting with a HIIT run tomorrow morning at 0430...

You guys are too nice sometimes. You need to be more critical
I'm critical of people who stuff their face with crappy food all day, sit on their fat arse's then resort to bullsh1t cosmetic procedures like stomach staples or liposuction.
(Steps down from soapbox)
Just don't lose your femininity Rosie - then I may have stern words with you.

Me, feminine? :toofunny: If you knew me growing up, I was a tomboy as much as I could ever be. As for what I am now, I'll be what suits ME, and if you guys can't handle, then LEARN TO! :whip: (Besides, we all have different definitions of 'femininity', as we all do on males and relationships, etc.)

Back in the day I used to run around naked at parties sporting a tuck-between - never considered snipping it off though...
That's fine if you wish to look like a boy - I hear trans-gender is all the rage in Europe.
Be Good!

I'm just joshing with you Rosie - and personally I like a girl with muscles - it can look extremely feminine - just as long as she keeps a little curve.
Keep up the good work!

Day 22
0819 - 5.5km Run:
Um, so not HIIT. And not at 0430. Like I wanted. Ah well, you roll with the punches...So, yes, a run, though, still. Already hot and warm and sunny, with just the smallest of breezes to cool the skin, and the scent of jasmine heady and fragrant in the air. Started out at a steady pace. First km was 4.44 min, with the second slowing right back to 5 min/km. However, unlike previous runs, the pace didn't slow again, staying at 5 min/km for the rest of the run. I FELT like I was slowing, and at every 'checkpoint'/split when I checked my stopwatch, I tried to push my body harder, get the legs moving faster, ANYthing to try and get back to that 4 min/km pace I used to do quite COMFORTABLY. But, no. By the time I'd done 4km I was sooooo ready to start walking, but I didn't (never again!) Coming into the 'home straight' both lower legs just inferior to the patella were starting to hurt from the impact, and I could feel every step that I took. By the time I got back to my front door I was ready to just collapse in a quivering heap. But very, very glad that I'd done something HARD (at least), to make up for the fact that today's resistance session will be done tomorrow (grrrrr...)
0855 - Stretch 25 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2200-0702 (waking at 0259, 0315, 0325, 0423, and 0630), so ~9 hours sleep. It took me AGES to get to sleep; I was tossing and turning, and my head would NOT turn OFF (stressing starting about exams, etc.) When I DID fall asleep the dreams were pretty intense and interesting. I SHOULD have got up at 0330, but once again my body was not responding to my head telling it to get up, or even to the shoving and tugging that it was getting...
Mental Alertness/Focus: Been there. I will get started on some study sometime this afternoon/evening...
Energy: If trying to get up this morning, and then my run was anything to go by, not a lot, aye...
Motivation:: Once again, Laura Harris: I want (and I WILL) be as lean as THAT!!!
Mood/Aggression: No aggression...Interesting mood. Inquisitive today...
Stress: High and piling up the mountains...
Libido: Um, yes, to combat the stress...
Joints: All good.
Endurance: There, albeit not very fast...
Strength: N/A.
Quality of Training: Shite :frustrate :frustrate :frustrate
Pump and Vascularity: No pump...Vascularity 'normal'...
Muscle Hardness/Density: IGF-2 is doing its job.
Body Composition and Look: Chest (and hips) actually look the leanest part of me at the moment. Breasts are quite full though, which is a weird combination...
Overall Sense of Feeling: Still a bit of appetite suppression going on, which is ok (until the Rosie starts eating later at night and then overrides it)...Start of the last term today (finally, 5 more weeks; I'll be soooo glad when Finals are OVER and I can 'relax')...And when they're over I shall spend a few hours lying out in the sun 'topping' up the golden, before the summer descends...Determined that while the study is good, so shall be the training and diet, and everything shall fall into place together...

Day 23
1200 - HIIT Rollers:
a. 2 min in 39x18 @ 40% HRmax @ 105 rpm
b. 2 min in 39x16 @ 75% HRmax @ 105 rpm
c. 16 x 20 sec effort/10 sec easy in 39x16 (HR 85-90% HRmax, rpm N/A)
d. 10 min in 39x16 @ 75% HRmax @ 105 rpm
VERY hot by the time it came to training today (mostly due to the VERY late rising)...Started out in an easier gear, since my legs have been protesting the way I've been starting lately. HR was waaaay toooo low, so went up to 'usual' gear after 2 min. After 8 efforts I decided to KEEP GOING, since I was feeling pretty GOOD, and I feel that the last few days has been pretty bad, training-wise (especially since I did only TWO resistance sessions last week). So I soldiered on, ending up doing DOUBLE the efforts that I would usually do in a ROLLERS' HIIT session. And I felt pretty good afterwards, too. Built up a pretty, slick, golden sweat. LOVED EVERY MINUTE, too!
1222 - Stretch 20 min.
1700 - Work: CityAbs 18 min.
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~ 2200-1037 (waking at 0315, 0330, 0423, 0630, 0700, and 0823), so ~12.5 hours sleep. That's the most I've done at once in a loooong time (actually I CAN'T remember the last time (if ever) that I've slept THAT much; not even after an all-nighter would I usually sleep that much in 'catching up' on my sleep!). My body just wouldn't move this morning, even though my HEAD knew that I NEEDED to be getting up! Dreaming was unbelievable. Sleep was deep and very broken (as you can see). Woke with a very sore belly (like I was all the time a few weeks ago). I want to be getting UP at 0315!!!
Mental Alertness/Focus: Been there, some. Especially when helping you with your math, babe (I'd much rather be doing THAT than MY assignments at the moment!)
Energy: Been fatigued for most of the day (except for when on the rollers), much like yesterday...
Motivation: YES!!!
Mood/Aggression: Moments of aggression. Moments of strange, crazed laughter. Moments of flatness...
Stress: Getting higher and higher and my head is tucking it away in the corner, doing the procrastination the best it can do...
Libido: Moments when release would have been quite welcome...
Joints: No worries.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: N/A.
Quality of Training: EXCELLENT!
Pump and Vascularity: Pump, yes...Vascularity hell yes...
Muscle Hardness/Density: Legs and glutes.
Body Composition and Look: I've looked better. But I'm getting back there (and will be BETTER!)
Overall Sense of Feeling: Ok, I guess...

CHRIST! That's how I'm feeling! Each workout I've been feeling flatter and flatter. And the active length of duration for stims don't last as long either. Your workouts seem EXTREMELY intense and a program like the one you execute can only be performed for short periods, unless you aren't human

Maybe you have something else going on then, that you're attributing to something else? I know I thought it was just stress and ages without a break, for ages, until I got to the point where I couldn't get out of bed in the morning and started feeling like passing out in every training session...Perhaps. But my body responds well to training like that. So until I collapse, I'll keep at it. Another 6-8 weeks of this training regime at least, anyways...
