the clen- I srarted at a 20mcg a day then to 40 up to 80 was on 80 for about 7 weeks now this week cycling down is my last week on it. all in the morning before my first workout. the t3 is evenly spread out through the day. My feet crampped a lot when I first started the clen so I got scared and stopped then I started slowly again with a different brand and I was fine.
You should taper down on the t3. Were you planning to be at 80 mcg and then stop it cold, and then start it up again? I think you don't need it.
Clen you do NOT need to taper down. Don't run clen w/o l-taurine - google it. Clen inhibits taurine in your body and produces cramping.
Typical clen cycle is 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off. If you want to run clen for more than 2 weeks at a time, running it w/ ketotifen will help you run it 3 weeks at a time, then 2 weeks off.
The competitions that I plan on entering are the bikini and figure. I want to start small with the one on venice at the end of May. I do not really care what I weigh I just want to be down to 10-12% bodyfat and be very defined. THis %- composition and amount of cabs and so on is pretty new to me. I am slowly learning all of it as I go. A lot to retain. I LOVE IT though. It is a challenge that will keep me interested. I am going to post picts from one month ago (mind you I was attempting to push my gut out and slunch over and shoulders brought forward) I entered two contests- online bodybuilding.com and beachbody.com they are a total body transfromation. I just want to get myself out there with the effort shown. They are 12 weeks transformations. I am taking pics today after the gym then will post them as well. I still have (this is my 4th week starting) 9 weeks for these contests.
I have a friend that has been in competitions for years she sees me and says I look great>>>> I dont agree. I am(I feel) so far out from being ready that I am stressing myself out. My upper body looks pretty good as you will see tonight. compared to a month ago. my lower body - well that is where I need the advice. I have been training since june of last year just slowly until 4 weeks ago.
Sassy- I am getting bigger on my upper body from the weights. I want to trim it down and define. I want bikini body- not body building body. But I have a lot of muscle in my upper body. Can you give suggestions on that?
My food I know I need to cut back on shakes and only do whole foods I try I need to sit down and write out my diet - you suggested a carb diet? when I eat carbs my body feels so bloated. and I feel tired NO ENEGY to work out just want to sleep!! is that normal?
Ther Insanity is extreram cardio- but full body training. I love it I see such resuts in definition and abs and so on- I feel like I had a full body training everyday.
One more big question- I NEVER really get sore. Is that normal? I get tight and tender to the touch but that is it. My upper body has hardly any strength my bf is working with me to up my weight - I look strong for the upper body but am not. My lower body on the other hand Gets sore to the point of barely walking and I am extreamly strong on lower body. I can out do him... LOL But need a lot of definition on the lower body body still.
I know I retain A LOt of water. I have anti-estrogen pills and water pills for closer to the show. but not yet.
Um... you want to do Bikini, you are concerned about your upper body getting muscular and you are running a stack of var, primo & gh? Um... yea. So... anavar & primo are steroids. They promote lean muscle mass. That's why you're developing lean muscle mass. I have no idea why you are running all of this stuff for a Bikini contest. Massive overkill.
As I mentioned, women are estrogen-dominant so the lower half tends to be where we hold a higher concentration of bodyfat. So it just simply takes longer to get to your goal than upper body does. Please don't look to load on more drugs to lose that. You have plenty of time to do this, and very honestly, you don't need any of the shit you are loading.
You DO NOT NEED ANTI-ESTROGEN PILLS FOR A BIKINI CONTEST.
I would suggest that anything that you are sensitive about w/ your body right now is because of your less than optimal diet.
To answer the questions on the cycles. I have been on the T3 since early december the Clen since the same. I am cycling off of them now and will start again in a few weeks. The primo tomorrow is my 4th week. the hg about 6 months now and the var about early november. I am learning my body and learning about all the supplements. I dont really know anything except for what I have read and what he tells me from a 205 lb man . So I am learning from trial an error.
Let me post some pics and then it might help.
I'm sure photos will help put some context to what you're doing but I think you're seriously overkilling for competition. I really don't like your diet because you are leaving no where to go to ease into a contest date & think you're doing massive overkill on cardio. You are doing everything extreme too far out and relying on all these drugs to force manipulations that can be done very simply w/ diet, training & cardio in the time that you have to do it.
Please do yourself a favor & get a complete physical & blood work when you're off all of this stuff.
