Yep
Rockmelon is what I know cantaloupe as. Definitely like the taste - a HUGE improvement on the original flavour.
My review on the original formula and flavours can be found at http://anabolicminds.com/forum/lg-sciences/136082-rosies-review-bc.html. Note that the overall score for BC+EAA in general for me is higher than initially rated there, especially given the fact that it has been a lifesaver over the last few months - for a product to be one of my staples it has to be rated equal to or higher than 8/10 by me.

COMMENTS
Sleep - Time and Quality: Passed out quite early last night. Woke at the time I SHOULD be waking at.
Mood/Aggression: So many factors going into this today. Work is going to be interesting, considering I don't feel like being around people - you never know; it might put me in a decent mood . . .
Energy: Where the fcuk has it gone?!
Mental Focus and Clarity: Work . . . Study . . . Work . . . Study . . .
Stress: So very high.
Immune System: A few sniffles here and there - nothing that can't be fixed by a hefty dose of Vitamin C.
Libido: More than my body can handle, honestly.
Joints: Left wrist aching during resistance training.
Endurance: Fine.
Strength: Better some exercises and not so great on others.
Pump: Not as much as usual for an Arms' session.
Vascularity: Reasonable.
Quality of Training: I waited a little longer before starting training today, since I was feeling nauseous and like I was going to throw up (if I'd been running, I WOULD have; NOT cool) . . . Tummy ached throughout cardio, and into resistance training. I kept tasting varnish in my mouth and throat, the unpleasant smell filling my nose. Drinking water throughout my session didn't help either . . . Didn't even want to do Post-Weights Cardio, and forcing myself through the 20 minutes . . .
Recovery: I feel ODD.

Might be some time for some Echinacea, at least it works well for me, no cold for 5 years and counting. (knock on wood)
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
I used to use it, but not now. I don't usually get sick (and if i get a cold, it's generally in the middle of summer after training hard without a break), but the last three years have seen me sick more in that short period than in my entire life!
I just have to watch myself, because I'm starting to feel like I did in March just before my body said "Enough!" and forced me to take a break - so very NOT cool!

The body always warns you when it needs something. I always try to follow my intuition on doing the right thing . a week break will not hurt at the very least its a week off to live, and it might in fact do some real good.
DreamWeaver

I don't mind planned time off, I earn it and I enjoy it. This is one way that I have become less compulsive. Sometimes we just have to take it easy on ourselves.
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
I know, John; unfortunately I've found that out on multiple occasions - pretty much I just keep going until recurrent bouts of Fatigue occur. I had a "week off" the week after the competition, and then a much easier week only just a week ago - any more than a few days off and everything will turn to sh*t and I am just NOT willing to let it happen anymore.
I had my "planned time off", but as I said to John, I have learnt that my body does NOT do well with COMPLETE time off and certainly not more than 2-3 days with NOTHING (so cardio has to be done every other day at the very least). The entirety of my training, etc. during this log has been "easy" and so very not like me and I don't like it. I am a VERY compulsive person (AND very stubborn, LOL) - makes my eating habits a contradiction of everything I am - and not sure becoming "less" compulsive is possible.
DreamWeaver

Come to think of it, I do cardio during my time off as I don't really consider that training lol maybe I am worse than I thought ...:think:
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
Well, a "Week Off" for me means no RESISTANCE training, LOL. If I had a week off EVERYTHING - which is very rare unless it is FORCED - then I would consider that a "break from" or "time OFF" training

Being and Endo I just can't afford not to do cardio at least. I have a Eliptical in my living room so it's not that time consuming, I can just wake up early every morning and to a fasted session and the rest of the day is mine.
MrKleen73
Legend
I just did a week off and it was horrible. Now I am struggling to re-enter my early morning training with any enthusiasm. I am going the route of Active recovery from now on. Maybe a week of body weight only stuff, or a week of a kettle bell or some other conditioning type program that is low on weight but still has resistance. I still ended up doing a GPP workout on my week off though. I had to do something....
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
I used to think I was an Endo, and if I let my bodyfat get too high, then an ISAK anthropometry test will bring me out as an Endo-Meso, but I am actually a Meso-Endo, since I can gain muscle mass or lose bodyfat when I want to fairly easily if I set things up right for it.
Because of my history of high levels of cardio, my Maintenance training requires at least 5-6 days of it, and 20 minutes a day is NOTHING compared to the hours I used to spend on my bike when I was cycling, so it's some compromise.
I have my bike downstairs, as well as a skipping rope, and we have a Gazelle, if I want to do cardio indoors. I would rather run outside, though.
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
I used to do a week of active recovery after every 16 weeks when I was cycling - just do a light and easy 30-minute ride when desired (which ended up being at least 3-4 days of that week).
In my "week off" a few weeks ago, I did a couple of brief resistance sessions - I really do notice the difference when I am not lifting weights, on both my mood and body.
Right now, I am struggling to do anything - it's taking me a few hours after waking before I even start training, when I used to do it 60-60 minutes post-waking (and need to be like this again) :sigh:
DreamWeaver
Legend
Yah I'm actually an endo/meso...
I would also rather do outside cardio, right now I am using power walking almost exclusively with the eliptical to fill in as a backup. I have a 60K a week minumum and if I fall short I use the Eliptical to make up for it.

Mood/Aggression: Some excitement, but generally too exhausted to be anything much.
Energy: Exhausted.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Work and study today - got to find it somewhere.
Stress: High.
Endurance: Fine.
Quality of Training: HIIT was the SLOWEST I have done in a LONG time - my body just didn't want to be moving (at least I didn't feel like throwing up - like yesterday). Because of how I feel and knowing that forcing a resistance session, no matter how short or light, will just make me feel even worse for tomorrow, I am improvising and just doing a cardio session today and will do today's resistance session tomorrow.
Recovery: Not doing so well this week. Hope I am back to being right tomorrow!

Rosie Chee

Thanks, Chris. I just have a hard time accepting my figure if I am not as lean as I want to be, and anything less than that makes me "fat" in my book - guess that just means I have to do something about it!

Yah you have some self image issues there Rosie :think: You a fox! Look at things in terms of you're potential. Some very simple adjustments will have you on top.
Rosie Chee

Everyone has self-image issues, LOL - I'm no different to everyone else in that regard. I grew up as a tomboy, was "just another one of the guys" - someone even went as far as calling me "too butch", never really cared about my looks, and so I still have a difficult time seeing myself as anything else. As a woman I am seriously lacking, seeing on scrutiny only the flaws in my figure :think:

True but to varying degrees, for me I am quite pleased with my efforts once the dust clears, even though I know I can do better.. we can always do better or we would not bother trying. Maybe you'll be the same and appreciate yourself and this effort.
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
We'll see. The honest truth is that only when I'm as lean as I want to be, maintaining a comfortable level of leanness, and have conquered my demons, do I think I will ever be satisfied with and able to accept myself.

Sleep - Time and Quality: ~4 hours, very broken and restless.
Mood/Aggression: Fluctuating constantly.
Energy: Not a lot, despite all the stims I am throwing down.
Mental Focus and Clarity: This is about all I have today.
Stress: High.
Joints: Left elbow clicking quite a bit during resistance training - feeling how dry some of my joints are getting.
Endurance: Ok.
Strength: Still feeling quite weak - this week has NOT been good overall.
Pump: There.
Vascularity: Where was this vascularity a few weeks ago?!
Quality of Training: Zoned out during pre-weights cardio . . . Pushed through with resistance training, even though I didn't feel like doing it at all . . . Didn't do post-weights cardio because my stomch got so sore, I had to go and curl up to try and help the pain . . .
Recovery: No muscular soreness like I had yesterday.
Body Composition and Look: After seeing the competition images yesterday made me realize just how LONG a way I have to go until I will be satisfied with my body.
Other Notes: I've had a perpetually sore stomach since Sunday afternoon - so bad that at times I can barely stand up, and it's contributing to my growing irritability . . . Overall so far, the last week has been probably the worst of the last few weeks, with my body being pretty UNresponsive to almost anything I WANT it to do. What the fcuk is going on?! . . .

Just be careful, you can only push yourself so far and when you cross that line you may end up injuring yourself then how much training will you be doing. That's how I keep myself from doing too much, I learned my lesson 2 years of shoulder rehab and still not all the way back!!
Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
I know. I like to see how far I can go and flirt pretty close to that line. I've only collapsed in the gym twice, LOL, and pre-competition when I felt close to it, I took a few deep breaths and sometimes went and was sick instead. Don't really want more time off, since my body's already forced that once this year, and later last year as well - I've had a lot of forced time off since mid-2008 from my body giving out, which is not cool at all!

I think most of us are in the same boat. We are sculpting our bodies like works of art. So our idea of fat means abs are not defined any more. No one I know would consider me close to fat but I see myself as fat not fat but fatter than I prefer. It is just different and is all completely relative to the goal. To not have abs and what not is unfinished for us. It is like a if a sculpture decided to not finish a statue to us.

MrKleen73

I do feel better physically, emotionally and mentally when I have lower body fat. Not shredded but lean for competition, but like 7%. My joints feel good, agility is improved and and my confidence is higher. Unfortunately I am still plagued by the desire to be bigger muscularly but that is beginning to not be so much of an issue. I am so close to my ideal with size I just need to get and keep myself at my ideal body fat and work on symmetry.
You are so hardcore regarding not taking off and pushing through. Your dedication even when not feeling well is impressive.
DreamWeaver
Legend
Yah you could still do that and deload, it's just less weight during your resistance training and not pushing that hard.

I'm FAR from overtraining, Chris - I'm NOT even at MAINTENANCE training levels, so training is not the issue.
I had a stomach ulcer earlier this year - thought that maybe it was a recurrence of this issue, even though it has not been an issue for a couple of months. Could also be another issue that I was waiting in line for re tests for a positive or negative diagnosis when I left New Zealand.
Sore stomachs so bad that all you want to do is curl up into the smallest ball possible, and then pass out from the pain in doing so, are definitely no fun :damnit:

Maintenance training is not overdoing it. I used to take 1-4 week breaks or no training or cardio , yes you read that right. Now a days I am thinking of just doing deloads on my off work . and maybe some cardio.

Rosie Chee
The Female Terminator
Well, MY Maintenance training would be "overdoing" it for most people, but everything is relative to the individual.
Health and bodybuilding are two very different things, yes, and one who bodybuilds is not always healthy, and a healthy individual does not have to be a bodybuilder. I'm NOT healthy by any means, but personally, MY [physiological] health IS directly correlated to my training, John, and as I mentioned earlier in this log, my training has been what has pretty much kept me ALIVE.

Oh I know your intensity has been lower and this is a different issue. I am paying attention.

Doctors for the most part really don't know sh*t. For example, my doctor put me on a sh*tty prescription med for my knee that was supposed to help with pain and swelling...um yeah that prescription (Nabumetone) was absolute garbage. I told my doctor straight out...do not write anymore prescriptions for me...its not needed. I'll stick to using good old Aleve because it works and its cheap and not to mention...I never have to deal with side effects from it. Even the stomach issues sometimes involved with Naproxen can be easily countered by having a meal prior to dosing and also drinking the tablets down with milk...also, using probiotic yogurt like activia is also a good trick
.Now as you can see...Rosie and I are a perfect match...she is just as stubborn and intense as me, especially when it comes to dealing with doctors...lol.

Sleep - Time and Quality: Since I got home from my night work on Thursday, the pain in my stomach has meant the foetal position and passing in and out of sleep until ~1000 this morning.
Energy: I have no energy - the pain is draining any I might have away - and anything I DO do is forced.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Don't really want to concentrate on anything, even though I MUST.
Stress: HIGH!
Joints: Dry, clicking continuing.
Endurance: Fine.
Strength: Less about strength than it was in just getting a session DONE.
Pump: None.
Vascularity: None.
Quality of Training: HIIT was ok . . . Resistance training was ok. Didn't feel like I did anything, because most of my focus - despite trying not to - was on the pain in my stomach . . .
Recovery: Only place that hurts is something I can't fix with rest and recovery.
Other Notes: Stomach pain is a little duller today - at least I can get up and walk around without wanting to scream or just sit right back down and curl up into a tight, little ball. Because I've passed out and forgotten to dose Triazole pre-bed those nights, I have a couple of extra days left on it, and will be finishing on Tuesday instead of tomorrow . . . I also used the last of my current bottle of Lipotrophin-PM yesterday (changes reflected in post #1) . . .

Sleep - Time and Quality: Since I got home from my night work on Thursday, the pain in my stomach has meant the foetal position and passing in and out of sleep until ~1000 this morning.
Energy: I have no energy - the pain is draining any I might have away - and anything I DO do is forced.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Don't really want to concentrate on anything, even though I MUST.
Stress: HIGH!
Joints: Dry, clicking continuing.
Endurance: Fine.
Strength: Less about strength than it was in just getting a session DONE.
Pump: None.
Vascularity: None.
Quality of Training: HIIT was ok . . . Resistance training was ok. Didn't feel like I did anything, because most of my focus - despite trying not to - was on the pain in my stomach . . .
Recovery: Only place that hurts is something I can't fix with rest and recovery.
Other Notes: Stomach pain is a little duller today - at least I can get up and walk around without wanting to scream or just sit right back down and curl up into a tight, little ball. Because I've passed out and forgotten to dose Triazole pre-bed those nights, I have a couple of extra days left on it, and will be finishing on Tuesday instead of tomorrow . . . I also used the last of my current bottle of Lipotrophin-PM yesterday (changes reflected in post #1) . . .
