I must admit that I know nothing about competition dieting. That being said I used to get wicked bad headaches when I went to bed hungry and had a heavy training routine. I would eat a small meal of just protein before bed and it did the trick. I've always used valerian root for insomnia. Some...

It's going man. I don't have a problem sticking to the diet unless I'm out and about and allow myself to get too hungry. Then... all bets are off. My appetite isn't in sync with my training schedule yet either. Some days, I don't think I'm eating nearly enough to accomplish my goals. I think...

Man am I glad the holidays are over. It's kinda hard to stick to a routine with all the get-to-gethers and fried food that's so popular here in the south. I WILL NOT SUBMIT!

Alright... I'm going to order the need2slin next week. I'll take pictures every week so that we can all see what the progress looks like. I'm not gonna post em until I start seeing some results, though. Hang in there with me guys! I love how supportive everyone is! Does anybody have a discount...

Nailed it at the gym today! I even threw in some flyes cause I didn't feel like quittin! I'm so hungry right now, though. Feel like I could eat a whole cow. I'll stick to a small portion of it... (sigh)

Yeah... It's not my quads or my butt that's sore. It's those tee-niny muscles right behind my quads.

My hubby is my partner! I was only squatting 125lbs. Some of the problem lies with my feet. I have a high arch and a high instep. Because of this, I can't do squats with my feet straight ahead. When I try, my knees draw together and buckle. I really think that my problem today was that I went in...

No effing intensity in the gym today. Which really sort of sucked considering it was leg day. I lost my piece of paper with my 1rm on it, so I had to start by going back and doing it all again. My first squat hit the muscles of my outer thigh, right above the knees so hard that I was afraid to...

Still a chick last time I checked. Are my supps still weak? My overall goal is to weigh 120 with about 12% bf. I just don't know how realistic that is. I'm a curvy girl and I've had 4 kids. I had already had my kids when I first began working out and I got to 135 with about 15.5% bf. I was only...

Thanks for the support everyone! I am curious about a product called need2slin. Anyone ever used this? Can I take it on a low carb diet?

Sounds freakin delicious. Myofusion is what my husband uses. He says it's not clumpy like some other powders. This is the end of my first week back in the gym and my biggest concern is that I might not be including enough workout for my smaller muscle groups. Also, I could eat 2 double quarter...

As per advice, I'm beginning this log for educational purposes. Any fresh ideas are always welcome. Workout looks like: Day 1- 10 min warm-up Squat 5x5 using increasing % of 1rm each week. Power Clean same as aquat Split squat 3 sets 6 reps each leg Hanging leg raise 3 sets as many as possible...

Man I appreciate the advice. My husband is the one who suggested the chemical assist and I know from personal experience that he has no business telling a woman how to train or diet. I weigh 180 and my bf is pushing 34%. I've started eating super clean again and I'm lifting. Instead of all out...

New here so, hi everyone! I'm looking for some girl to girl advice on my first cycle. I have about 10 thousand questions that I can't seem to find answers for no matter how heavily I wear google out. First off, I'm 30, 5'3", and much too ashamed of myself to post my weight and BF%. I used to...
