Hawt n Sexy Ladies cycle log

New member
Hello all,

I'm going to go ahead and kick this off. I've decided to run a 10 week cycle of var 10 mg a day split up morning and afternoon. Last week taper. It will be my first cycle ever so it is the only thing I will be running.

I will post before pics tomorrow as well as starting weight. I have cycled off creatine. So it will just be me and the var, well besides my preworkout gluta and multi.

I might add too that this cycle's main goal is fat loss/ muscle preservation. I do not expect to gain any muscle but will be pleased if the vodoo does happen. If all goes well I will run it again for a bulk cycle.

Predominately using this log post training, nutrition, and mood. Welcome to all who will join along. :) Anything you wanna know just ask.

Re: Ladies cycle log

Well hell boomie welcome to the Logs section.
GOOD FOR YOU!!:garza:
I speak for the rest of my bros in here we are all looking forward to watching you and helping where we can.
You have some bitchin strong legs on you and I would imagine shapely too.
HOWEVER you really really need to stop the insanity of doing leg extensions. If you dont have crap knees, you will have if you keep doing them. Believe researchers are seeing more and more just how destructive this excersize is to knee joints.
I am glad to see that you are doing Front Squats. That is gonna do way more for you then the leg extensions ever will and the front squats are even theraputic to knees.
I really hope for your sake you dispose of the leg extensions.
Good luck and keep posting!
 
^Theyre destructive as you make them.. Keep the weight light. Limit your ROM and you will be fine.
 
yep, extensions.. never go to 90 degree and you'll be fine... but i'd recommend a 6 week of heavy weight with low rep, then switch to high rep lighter weight.. you won't put on size but the definition difference is worth the pain..
 
Good to know. I have heard that about leg extensions. I haven't found anything (and won't) that will replicate that exercise. I keep them light (below 160). Switch it up if I see any strain.

I lifted at a new gym today the high pin was too high and the low pin was too low. I ended up hurting my elbow getting the 135 to lift off from that low position. Knew I shouldn't have pushed it and felt it immediately. I kept the rest of the session light and ss some cardio to keep the heartrate up.

Ok looking dam sweet sista.
How critical do you want me to be? seriously....
One thing that I would recommend for your goals is that you change your sets and reps.
I think that you will be happier with the results of 4x10-12 pretty much across the board. Where your at right now is in the strength zone for most peeps. This means that in the current rep range you will continue to get stronger but you will also (speaking generally) look smooth. In the set and rep zone of 4x10-12 you will be able to maintain strength and bring in more definition. Of course you will have to adjust weight for this rep range.
Nice job on good clear pics too.

As critical as you want to be. I'm a big girl. :) I'll listen to everything you have to say. Sometimes I'll follow, sometimes I won't but still appreciate every bit of advice.

I usually train compounds higher weight lower rep. (Ego factor and I don't like losing strength while cutting) isolations 8 rep range, I can up to 10-12.

If I'm builking all sets will be 3-5 rep range high weight.
 
Ok, you look very good ,except your calves are not up to par with the rest of you.

For calves I really like doing standing single leg calve raises holding a dbl in the hand on the side your working.
Do these with a min of 2 seconds up and the same going down. A good stretch at the bottom and a dam hard flex at the top of each rep. These will make you hurt. I do em off of a raised step.

Also for you sistas, wear your high heels every chance you get. Makes a huge diff in the way your calves look. Marilyn Monroe said high heels are a girls best frnd.

Thanks this I will do. When I first started training I never worked calves years of dance had them over developed and I was stupid then. Now I'm frantically trying to catch up.
It's hard to get them proportioned to the legs and az. Working on it thank you.
 
Dam nice legs and az tho suga!:evil::verygood:

Yep heat and firm massage are your best best suga. When you do your squats try to drop your chin just a little bit and that may help.
 
There is a ladies section where she is likely to get more help from experienced women and less from horny guys. You pervs can still ogle her there. :-)

So I think my body is screaming deload or I'm having a p*ssy day. I should of done that before cycle stupid! Gonna tough through. Next week will be lower weight high reps because I have a race coming up that I can't be sore for. My elbow flared up again when I was pulling a block at work :/. The trap is doing much better but I just felt like my joints shoulders elbows wrists are all achey. The 225 was extremely heavy today I was pulling lopsided favoring the right the first two tries and my socks kept slipping so I had to put my shoes on fuking up my game. So annoyed but fixable.

Alrighty then it is done... It's easier to set up than moving the safety bars on the power rack. Plus the bar on the smith is smaller so it's easier for me to grip. Woes of having tiny hands. I also don't want to be the tool that uses a rack for shrugs and no one usually is on the smith.
I thought that is how you are supposed to train back?! :mix:

148.0 this morning up 3 lbs and holding. since 2 days in, guess it's water retention that's going to stay.
 
"I thought that is how you are supposed to train back?!"
I wanna train back with you suga!

On the smith shrugs...well ok. But pay attention and see if that may some of your prob with the pinched nerve and trap issue. If you decide that it is then move off the smith to the bbl in the power rack with wrist straps.
 
Your log has inspired my fiancé to get outta the ladies only section of the gym and into th big boy arena thank you! Awesome work!

Oh I know when I pinched it, when I bailed on box squats I had to good morning the bar back down on the rails with 225 on. That's what I call a roll out. I got up to do my regular sets of squats, put the bar on and felt it immediately.

All pretty nice excpt that leg extension crap....those gonna wreck your knees suga...
 
Nice log!

A couple things for you to ponder with var. It's always tough to judge progress when running var for a first cycle and for cutting. Us girls are different and you should gain weight with var. In 10 weeks, I'd be very surprised if you weren't up 10 lbs. The other thing I'd watch is that var will increase your strength but when running a cut and with low calories (I'm not sure of your stats but they seemed low to me) I'd really watch how heavy you are going. You are already struggling with some pulls, tweaks and joint pain and it's deceiving at times when on cycle but you can overdo it and end up hurt. Listen to your body.

Just a few things I thought I'd share with you. I've learned some of those lessons the hard way. Keep working hard! :)
 
Nice post Cali, gr8 info as always!

Boomers you have a dam dam sexy set o wheels there gurl! Very enticing!
The only exception is that you should wear your high heels more. Will help your calves a lot.

Nice log!

A couple things for you to ponder with var. It's always tough to judge progress when running var for a first cycle and for cutting. Us girls are different and you should gain weight with var. In 10 weeks, I'd be very surprised if you weren't up 10 lbs. The other thing I'd watch is that var will increase your strength but when running a cut and with low calories (I'm not sure of your stats but they seemed low to me) I'd really watch how heavy you are going. You are already struggling with some pulls, tweaks and joint pain and it's deceiving at times when on cycle but you can overdo it and end up hurt. Listen to your body.

Just a few things I thought I'd share with you. I've learned some of those lessons the hard way. Keep working hard! :)

Good advice thanks. Do you think women gain weight while on cycle because they are not eating at a deficit. (you personally have any experience.) I did alot of research and prodding peoples minds before I started and almost every single person told me to eat at a surplus. No wonder women are gaining 10+ lbs. Kind of why I wanted to eat at a deficit and see what happens...

I am going to raise cals up though sheer off ravenous hunger alone.

My first cycle of var was 12 weeks at 10 mgs and I ate at maintenance or 100 cals over and gained 17 lbs, keeping probably 12-14 lbs post cycle. I was trying to gain some muscle though. I've used it in show prep, as well, but don't know if I would use it again for a cut. That comes more with trial and error and knowing my own body. Maybe a low dose like 5 mgs for a cut but honestly, I found if my diet wasn't spot on, my weight almost always went up.

Any steroid is a male hormone and the fundamental science behind it is that they are used to increase muscle mass, thus the weight gain (some water retention as well). That's why they would say eat at a surplus...that's usually the reason for using aas...building muscle. Changes in bf% come from eating at a deficit and through an increase in lean muscle mass. So for me, I gained weight but kept my diet pretty clean so my bf% still went down.

Guys will tell you (no offense to the guys here cause they're great) they use var for cutting but women respond differently and even though a lot of women would use var for cutting for a show prep, for example, many use it more for bulking, maximizing the effects of the drug. You sort of weigh out your risks and tolerance to sides and then decide when you want to use it, for the most benefit.

I think you'll see good results. You have a solid base to build from. Hope that makes a bit of sense! I get rambling on...lol :)

It does all make sense. I'm gonna run it again assuming tolerance is good this full eight weeks for a bulking cycle. I just wanted to see what it would do for me on a cut. I'm upping cals slightly next week after my race for the reamainder of the cycle although not at maintenance at a slight deficit.

So on a cut did you run anything? I could see why women wouldn't run this for cutting or prep. Definition in my abdomen has changed so I can tell there is some water retention there. I'm still relatively in the beginning of the cycle so I'm not making any opinions yet.

I appreciate you speaking to me candidly, I find alot of women to be really hoity toity about talking aas usage per my experience. It seems no one is ready until they're already using. Just curious... I like to build my arsenal of women personal experiences because I'll take that over research anyday. Research says I shouldn't have been able to build the muscle I have at a calorie deficit natty. It was wrong.

With a back like you got, you need to go higher on those rows. 90 some sets, 110 some sets. Same reps. Your back reminds me of my back, so if I can go above 90 on rows so can you.

Do you do pullups w body weight? Im the only female Ive seen so far do pull ups at my gym. I think most females are scared to pull their own body wieght, but its good for biceps and core. If your doing deadlifts pullups should be nothing for you. I dont even deadlift.​

Yup, thats exactly what I told her caligirl. Right on the money. I gained about ten pounds my first var cycle. Ran it for 9 weeks. I was and am on a higher dose than boomie though. But the first thing I told her was to expect muscle gains which will increase body weight. Though she can still loose bf with a strong cardio routine-which i see she has.

I do those with no 'english' or swaying break down in form momentum etc... This week is a 'deload' I do go heavier on back work if you scroll back but I'm running a Tough Mudder (13 miles with obstacles) this weekend and didn't want to be muscle fatigued. 225 dl 135 bb rows but pendlay style I can't seem to get my form down on bent over.

Pullups aw pullups I can do chin ups but a wide grip pullup I can only do those when the bar is skinnier like the top of the power rack but I don't wanna be a dweeb and steal the power rack for pullups. Those are a hard motion for me. Deadlifts are nothing like pullups.

EDIT I guess I was extremely tired last night. You did go back and look you were talking about db rows. Yes that is as far as I can get grip wise they are easy for me. Do you strap up for your rows 90s? 110? That's frickin beast.

glad you gals are here! Do either of you run a jounal?

You might try mixing in rack pulls with your deads. When you alt week to week it really seems to bring up dead numbers fast. But you really have to pile the weight on with the Rack pulls and dont be afraid to use straps.

I have run a few in the past. I've been thinking about starting a new one but need to get my head out of my ass long enough to have some consistency! LOL

I know what you mean about actually getting info on usage. Women are funny creatures!! I found a couple women here who really helped me when I was first starting out. I'll write ya more later today with regards to the other questions....sneaking on at work. ;)

Just finished with rack pulls four weeks ago :) I'm alternating sumo and conventional for the next 8 weeks. I used the straps when I racked pulled and still use them when I deadlift heavy but trying to stay away. (powerlifting)

Nah, I dont need to strap. I use the wide bars to get more concentration on my back though. Also leaning all the way back while rowing intensifies concentration and makes the handles easier to grip.

hmm I guess I am confused about your setup. You use wide bars? Are we talking about DB rows here I didn't know they had different sized handles. Leaning back :confused:

I set up for db rows (single arm) One hand on bench one hand grabbing db non working knee on bench working foot on ground bend over grab the db and row. Back is parallel to the ground.

Also start using gelatin. You get the plain gelatin powder in the jello or canning isle at your grocer. I mix it in my shake. You should notice a diff in a couple of days. Let me know.

Dam gurl, very nice work outs there. Weights looking good!
 
Ok so I finished my cycle awhile back Nov14 (8 weeks) . So just an update. All in all it went pretty well. I wouldn't say I gained too much fat if any. Now I am sitting at 147.

I did get some pretty bad acne on my back shoulders face that has cleared now. That was really the only 'side'

photo_zps854cc618-1_zpscb67dd7e.jpg


Just a photo i took at the gym the other day quads are noticeably bigger. I am going to cut for summer and drop to 135 hopefully thinking of using some clen do not know yet.
 
Hey Boomie, Holy Quads!! Looks like you made some nice gains :). How long did you run the var for, and did you stay at the 10mg for the whole cycle?

Looking fantastic and I LOVE those pants :)
 
Dang gurl!
Super sexy quads and delts!!!
All that hard work paying off big time for you.
Thanks for the pic as we all enjoy it.:qt::supercool
