COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: Another solid 8 hours - a shot or two near bed is definitely helping me sleep (albeit detrimental to EVERYthing else!)

Mood/Aggression: I just want EVERYthing to be ok! No more eating or not eating; no more inability to train as scheduled; no more needing something to make me sleep . . .

Energy: There. Work will be enough of a second cardio tonight as well.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: It HAS to be there, and so it is.

Metabolism: Ok.

Stress: Still unbelievably high.

Libido: High immediately post-training, LOL.

Endurance: Excellent.

Strength: Like yesterday, this session was NOT about strength, but I went heavier today for less reps.

Pump: VERY painful in my anterior delts (???)

Vascularity: Normal.

Quality of Training: HIIT was good, working both speed and speed endurance . . . Resistance session was another session of PAIN . . .

Recovery: My body should be doing better with the unusual (but welcome) sleep I have been getting.

Body Composition: Like I mentioned earlier, "I know that if I can get my nutrition and training back to how it used to be and as it should be, 4-5 weeks (6 weeks tops) is all I need to be where I want to be."

 

[nattydisaster]

I love those delt pumps that are so big they hurt haha

I say enjoy your weekend and then on Monday take nutrition and training to the next level!

I think I have a few unresolved injury issues with my delts and shoulder joints, which is why they get so painful sometimes.

Weekend is all about work, and Monday is definitely making sure EVERYthing is dialled in with NO room for excuses or justification of doing anything that is NOT going to help me achieve my goals!!!

COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: Sleep not so great - broken. Some dreams.

Mood/Aggression: Been pretty single-minded today. Mood lifted a little when learnt body composition.

Energy: Have actually had none pretty much all day - training was done at the very last, which isn't the best, but at least it was DONE.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Mind was on full alert, though, and spent a huge bulk of the day updating and making changes and additions to my website.

Metabolism: Good.

Libido: My BODY is ready to roll whenever . . .

Endurance: Fine.

Strength: Like the last two days, this session was NOT about strength, and I used the same weight/s as yesterday, but pushed out a few more reps.

Pump: Still painful in my anterior delts, but running through arms as well today.

Vascularity: Earlier today, there were blue ripples over my arms.

Quality of Training: HIIT was an effort - definitely feeling this in my legs . . . Resistance training was PAIN - albeit brief pain, which makes it better . . .

Recovery: My body ached all over like a huge bruise this morning, and moving was done gingerly most of the day. Definitely NOT inclined towards training on waking.

Body Composition: 118lb at 10.7% bodyfat. So, made surprising progress this week. I can see the fat loss in my upper body, but my lower body measurements have NOT changed from last week - which is odd, since my pants have been feeling LOOSER. At this weight and body composition, I am only 3-4 weeks away from my goal composition.

Other Effects: I notice that I get the sudden chills not long after my second dose of Alpha-T2 if I dose it on a VERY empty stomach. Interesting - considering I have been BURNING up the rest of the day!

Other Notes: From tomorrow, I am going to start dosing Alpha-T2 at 2 caps first thing and 2 caps 8 hours post-Dose 1 (changes reflected in post #1).

 

[Army Guy]

looking forward to see the new dosing Rosie, and glad to see you dropped about 1%ish throughout that crazy few weeks... Impressive young lady!!

 

[gwls]

Good work Rosie, things looking good all round, way to soldiering on :fing02:

 

[Rosie Chee]

That 1% was lost this last week! I only lost 0.2% each of the two weeks before that. So, something about this last week must have been ok. I need to lose that and then some each of the next 4 weeks!

Good work Rosie, things looking good all round, way to soldiering on :fing02:

Cheers, bud

Day 22: Day Off

TRAINING

Been looking forward to a day OFF for several days now!


COMMENTS

Stimulant Effects: None felt.

Metabolism: Definitely works better when having 4 caps of NeoVar Recomped first thing and last thing.

Body Composition and Look: Made my comments yesterday - "118lb at 10.7% bodyfat. So, made surprising progress this week. I can see the fat loss in my upper body, but my lower body measurements have NOT changed from last week - which is odd, since my pants have been feeling LOOSER. At this weight and body composition, I am only 3-4 weeks away from my goal composition."

Other Effects: Thirsty as always - but then again, it HAS been unbearably HOT. Continuing to burn up as well (so maybe that has something to do with the thirst, too).

Other Notes: Will be using 6 caps of FREE TEST tomorrow to finish up the bottle (changes reflected in post #1).

Great job Rosie. Glad things are working out for you this last week. Keep it up!!!!!

COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: So, my body has fallen into a pattern over the last week. I AM sleeping, yes, and regardless of what time I fall asleep, I am waking up ~1130, which is VERY frustrating (I don't like getting up so late!) But, at least I am sleeping . . . Right? . . . Woke with a huge pressure migraine and pain in my head, like I had a head cold or something . . .

Mood/Aggression: Been pretty calm, with a few rants interspersed throughout.

Energy: Took a while to get some today, but once I got it, I GOT IT! I even mowed the lawns after training - that took 55 minutes.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Definitely there. Can't be anything but these days.

Metabolism: Fine.

Appetite: Don't really have one, and considering I feel nauseous and get a very sore and upset stomach after EVERYthing I eat, no matter what or in what quantity, I'm not surprised. Been having a LOT of BC+EAA!

Stress: High.

Libido: For some interesting reason, my BODY has been INcessant with an "I want it now!" effect.

Endurance: Definitely up to par.

Strength: Good.

Pump: Anterior delts, albeit not as painful as they have been in previous resistance sessions, which is good.

Vascularity: Good. Shoots up when I apply DermaTherm or LipoBURN post-shower.

Quality of Training: HIIT was good - feeling legs a little, though . . . Resistance session was fine. Found myself a little hypoglycaemic pre-training, which gave me the chills for a bit, but they passed and my lifting wasn't affected. Really pushing it, since I didn't really feel in the mood for training, honestly - but whether I'm in the mood for it or not is NOT an option . . . Started with my first day of posing practice as well. The way my body was feeling - especially my shoulders - this was an effort, even for 5 minutes. I'll gradually increase the period as time goes on, aiming for 5-10 minutes daily for now . . .

Recovery: When I woke this morning, I was shattered.

Body Composition and Look: Opposite to what usually happens when I lose fat, my body is losing the fat from my UPPER body first this time - I usually lose it from my legs and glutes first. Interesting. My legs are looking too heavy for my liking, especially with the additional lean mass there, and I'm NOT liking it!

Other Effects: Thirsty, all the time . . . On top of that, the last week I have been very HOT. My body temperature seems to have increased somewhat, and sometimes it is too MUCH for me, especially on top of the weather. Even at night, I overheat when I'm sleeping (contributing to morning migraines), despite the fan going . . .

Other Notes: I finished my bottle of Lipotrophin-PM yesterday (reflected in post #1), but will be using it again when I get more.

 

[Army Guy]

hey Rosie if you need more cardio...ummm my lawn needs mowing too

 

[Rosie Chee]

hey Rosie if you need more cardio...ummm my lawn needs mowing too

LOL . . . I get extra cardio from my night work, but I'm thinking even that may not be enough anymore . . . Anyways, going to follow the same training pattern that I did last week, since I made the most progress last week, and see what happens THIS week . . .

 

[Rosie Chee]

Day 24: Easy Day

TRAINING

Cardio 20 min.

Posing Practice 5 min.

Stretch 20 min.


COMMENTS

Mood/Aggression: Good mood . . .

Energy: There.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: There.

Metabolism: Fine.

Appetite: None.

Stress: High.

Libido: Let's work some of that magic, baby!

Endurance: Good.

Quality of Training: Following last week's lead and only doing cardio today . . . Posing practice definitely makes the muscles work, even in such a short time as 5 minutes! . . .

Recovery: Didn't sleep well at all, which, on top of being far too overheated and having an upset stomach, did not make me feel good at all.

Body Composition and Look: Although I am definitely more focused on body composition and getting my bodyfat levels down, I still need to lose 5-10lb to be at a 'safe' weight for competition.

Other Effects: Still thirsty as all hell . . . And burning up like crazy . . .

 

[nattydisaster]

You've still got time to lose 5-10 with your training and dedication...no worries!

COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: Broken sleep. Definitely far too overheated, even with the fan going, which didn't help. Woke red-eyed, with a dry throat, and thirsty as all hell . . .

Mood/Aggression: Fine, for the most part.

Energy: Stable.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: There's no room for error when it comes to study - or work . . .

Metabolism: Good.

Appetite: Not really hungry, but either today or tomorrow needs to be my high calorie/carbohydrate day, and not looking too forward to forcing the food down . . .

Stress: A little less in some areas, and higher in others.

Libido: What has been the deal lately?! My body is ready to go ALL the time. I mean, seriously!

Endurance: Great.

Strength: Went a little heavier with some exercises - did a few less reps with some, and really struggled with the ones where I kept the reps the same.

Pump: Not as much as usual, but enough.

Vascularity: Could always be better.

Quality of Training: HIIT was an effort. Running these days really takes a LOT out of me. I need to do LONGER HIIT, but breathing was starting to become difficult, and my right lateral knee was aching badly - so I made up for it and did post-weights cardio . . . Resistance session was ok. Felt a bit weaker today. Had to sit down often between my sets to catch my breath, and my chest/lungs had intermittent sharp pains that made me bend over to recover from. Used a bit longer recovery period than this session last week, but I definitely needed it . . .

Recovery: Good.

Body Composition and Look: The definition and vascularity is starting to come out in my obliques and serratus anterior - although I still look a little soft and not lean enough (which I'm not) yet . . . Noticed during posing practice that my upper back/lats are a little wider than they were as well . . .

Other Effects: Just constantly thirsty - I'm drinking a litre every hour I'm awake! - and feeling like I'm sitting in a fire!

 

[Jbrooks]

Lots of sweat, huh (as long as it's wet and clean I don't mind) I'm going to be using DermaTherm (when it arrives) as my cortisol control, as it works better than the reformulated Lean Xtreme for me. Low stim is no longer an option for me, and I find myself needing more and more just to be functional! Thanks

HI Rosie

Dermatherm doesnt contain 7-keto anylonger. What in it works as Cortisol control ?

Cheers for your time in answering

I have the ORIGINAL DermaTherm, not DermaTherm Target (they are called two separate things, and if I was using the latter, I would have mentioned that). Personally, the DermaTherm works for me, but the DermaTherm target not so much. I wish they hadn't stopped making the original DermaTherm - I love it! . . . On another note, I didn't say that I was using the DermaTherm for cortisol control - FREE TEST contains cortisol controlling properties in it as well . . .

ahh ok I must have misread this part "I'm going to be using DermaTherm (when it arrives) as my cortisol control, " because it said when it arrives I took that as it was the new version as the old isnt available. Guess I miss read it also you were using it for cort control

sorry but thats for clearing it up

Ah, nope, just that I started the DermaTherm 3 days after starting Alpha-T2 . . . Actually, my apologies to you, as I did mention re primary cortisol control in one of my earlier posts in reference to DermaTherm versus Lean Xtreme - but yes, it wasn't the only product that was working in that area . . .

Sure is - even though Maintenance training is taking a lot more out of me than it used to . . . I SHOULD be in single digits body composition by the end of the week . . . Well, he has to put up with me practicing my posing in front of him sometimes (and yes, Sean, I KNOW I need to get a LOT leaner to have a shot), because that's about all he CAN do . . .

Well I think it's great that at least you both share in the dream, the support and encouragement together! You're very lucky, I think a lot of us have great partners BUT I think my better half thinks. I'm nuts and occasionally nods off when I talk about it too much, ok maybe an exaggeration but I definitely bore her

I think it's soo cool that you both "get it", even if one you is doing all the hard work and one is having to spectate but big up to Sean for pushing you to be your absolute best and support u in getting there...

Yes, well I wouldn't be with him if we didn't; I could NEVER be with anyone whose lifestyle was not similar - if not the same - as mine. And we wouldn't even be together if it wasn't for Applied Nutriceuticals, either! But I'm more obsessed than he is, and he tunes me out sometimes too, LOL

Sean has just had two knee reconstruction surgeries, so he can't do much right now. If he could, then I know he would be doing more. But right now, we're just trying to get by as best we can under the circumstances.

Oooh just came across this one and got all caught up!

COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: Could NOT sleep. Ended up watching a movie to pass the time, curled up with the wheatie because my stomach was so upset. Passed out between 0600-0700, waking several times and passing out again, getting up at ~1300. NOT cool . . .

Mood/Aggression: Ok.

Energy: Didn't have ANY thing morning. Been ok since work. Really having to work at it, though.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Since been up - on the ball.

Metabolism: Ok.

Appetite: Forcing down the food today (and yesterday). Not able to finish what I would normally scarf down in a few minutes, everything still upsetting my stomach and making it pain beyond pain immediately post-eating and lasting several HOURS (or more!) . . .

Stress: Picking up again . . .

Endurance: Fine.

Strength: Same as last week - and the session is not about strength, either (NONE of them are really, for the next 5.5 weeks).

Pump: Painful.

Vascularity: Veins through torso more noticeable now.

Quality of Training: Resistance training was PAINFUL, and my heart was beating so fast, it felt like it might burst out of my chest! Making sure I really pushed it though, even when my body was SCREAMING "NO!" . . .

Recovery: I woke feeling like sh*t, and I still feel like sh*t . . .

true but the dinner could be a light chicken breast with broccoli and the movie could be some chic flick that makes us guys want to vomit... I am all for Sean taking one on the chin for the rest of us to have you get all the entertainment you need!

I think I've done all the food I can handle for this week. And I prefer action/adventure/fantasy movies - a chick flick would only be an option if I was too tired to care what I was watching, LOL.

I have a push mower and a pair of shears - a machete would have been nice :veryhappy: - with my name on them over the weekend. No rest for those of us that need rest :sigh:

Someones getting lean!

 

[Rosie Chee]

Not too long back I started getting the big hose type ones on the side of my calves as well as the more spidery ones on shins and back of calves, and it kind of grosses me out. I don't mind them elsewhere, but somehow on the calves I don't like.

For some reason, I only get hoses in my forearms - and when I am lean and pumped as in my arms and deltoids. Most of the time my veins are just very visible . . . I have come to crave them, LOL :shocked1:

COMMENTS

Mood/Aggression: I'm fairly calm. Could be called a good mood, I guess . . .

Energy: Took some time to get there, but I got there.

Stimulant Effects: None.

Mental Focus and Clarity: There all day.

Metabolism: Pretty good.

Appetite: I have noticed that if I dose Alpha-T2 and Shred Matrix together (pm), if I eat, I can only eat HALF as much as what I would normally be able to shovel down, and definitely not be able to shovel what I can eat down fast at all . . . But, given the way my tummy is after everything I eat, today it's going to be peanut butter/oils (I get in at least 60g of good fats daily) and BC+EAA (I'm using 50-60g a day of this) . . .

Stress: I am trying not to let it bother me until next week - then it can start knocking again, but right now, I can't be bothered.

Endurance: Good.

Strength: Fine - not about strength though.

Pump: Hard and fast and not as painful as they have been lately.

Vascularity: Stronger.

Quality of Training: HIIT was good - feeling it in my hips (tight) . . . Resistance session was short and intense and definitely effective . . . My arms are still smarting a bit from resistance training and posing practice . . .

Body Composition and Look: Got told that the "V" in my hips is starting to pop . . .

Other Effects: Still thirsty as . . . And burning up . . .

Other Notes: Got some more NeoVar Recomped and Lipotrophin-PM yesterday (changes reflected in post #1), so back to using them from then . . . . "It's a fine line between determination and obsession." - Jasper, Unnatural History: The Warrior's Heart. A fitting quote from an episode with a fitting title. Definitely true, though. I'm more OBSESSION than determination . . .

Energy: Not enough for me to want to do post-weights cardio.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Going to be studying for most of the rest of the day.

Endurance: Ok.

Strength: The session was not about strength.

Pump: Painful, especially by the last exercise.

Vascularity: Some.

Quality of Training: Fine. Quite painful. Feeling fatigued and sweating lots from pre-weights cardio . . .

Body Composition and Look: 113.6 lb at 10.2% bodyfat - that's a loss of 0.1% bodyfat per day. The fat loss is noticeable in my upper body, but lower body is still huge and I am seriously HATING the extra mass in my legs - with some fat in places I have never had it before there . . . My arms are almost as lean as they will probably go and yet they look puny and I am searching for the under-contraction definition when relaxed - guess I am going to have to wait until I am leaner . . .

Damn, Rosie. I missed a few days and had to catch up. Looks like things are back to "norm". Great to see you doing better.

Thanks, John Yeah, I think it was finding a training schedule that let me train intense again, withOUT exhausting me for days after every session, so I am compromising with my body and having an easy or rest day every second or third day.

Day 29: On Target!

TRAINING

None - scheduled day off for this week. Doesn't mean I didn't get SOME exercise in though - I did two hours of intense yardwork this afternoon in the heat (would be nice if the gold returned to my skin, LOL).

Posing Practice 5 min.

Stimulant Effects: None experienced.

Metabolism: Has been good - especially considering some of the high calorie/carbohydrate meals I have been forcing down!

Body Composition and Look: 113.6 lb at 10.2% bodyfat. Have been losing bodyfat at a rate of 0.1% per day. Definitely on track re target body composition - I will definitely be as lean as possible, and only 5lb more to lose before I am in the 'safe' weight zone for competition. Not too happy with the changes in my body this time around re fat loss, though - I have lost my natural hourglass shape and are starting to look more like a pear :grumpy: (NOT cool)!

Other Effects: Constantly thirsty and feeling like I am on FIRE! :32:

Other Notes: Today my bottle of Bio-Mend ran out (changes reflected in post #1) until I get a new one . . . I also finished my first bottle of Alpha-T2 (have two more to use) . . . And have decided to adjust my training schedule to fit the pattern I have been using the last two weeks (changes reflected in post #1), since it has worked out rather well (and for me, training is primarily what determines my rate of fat loss) onder: . . .

COMMENTS

Mood/Aggression: Could swing either way today.

Energy: There - and it HAS to be!

Stimulant Effects: Still none.

Mental Focus and Clarity: After work tonight, it's more study time.

Metabolism: I've been forcing down two meals a day now, and my body is dealing with them ok.

Stress: High.

Endurance: I have.

Strength: Better than this session last week.

Pump: Left deltoid was painful today - more the lateral delt, and it was interesting.

Quality of Training: HIIT was ok . . . Resistance session was painful . . . Didn't want to do Post-Weights Cardio, but I know that it makes a DIFFERENCE with my fat loss, so I did it anyway . . . Posing practice was also painful . . .
