my gym days are starting to suck

[HappyScrappy]

I'm officially confused now.
I'm on anywhere from 40-100mg of anavar, depending on how many times I remember to take my happy pills.
over the past 3 weeks, all of my lifts (other than legs) have been going down in weight - yet I'm getting bigger.
my diet is better, I'm on drugs, and I'm losing strength.

I don't get it.

the only thing I can thnk is that I've been on ripped fuel during that tie and not sleeping well at all, so I suppose that would be the only weak link, not enough proper sleep.
I have gbl on the way and hopefully that will be the answer.

any other ideas? (certianly not "too much sex" )

not enough sleep has alot to do with it... what about your carbs? how are they?

 

[HappyScrappy]

above 200g a day

 

[Gilbyag]

ok... how many, what type & how much time between your carbs before you lift. (did that make sense )

 

[HappyScrappy]

the carbs are spread throghout the day.
I have oatmeal and milk in the morning.
I have a protein shake amde with water at 11.
I have my tuna mush at 1 (1 can of tuna, 1 cup mixed veggies, 1/2-1 cup of borwn rice, 1 tbs flax seed oil).
then I work out at 2:30
then I get back around 4:30 (don't workout 2 hours, just takes awhile to get there and get ready and shit)
then have a protein shake.
then at 7 have the tuna mush again.
then at 9 have aprotein shake with milk and flax seed oil.

it works out roughly 40/30/30

Ok, then Im lost too, your carbs have time to kick in before your workout... hmmmmm

I was think maybe you werent get'n enough carbs before you lifted. but the veggies and rice should be there from the time you eat at 1 till 2:30... sounds like your thought process is right on then, thinking its the lack of sleep.

sorry I couldnt help.

 

[HappyScrappy]

no prob - thanks for giving it a shot. and it is good to know my thinking had something reasonable there.

I went through alot of sleeping pills whEn I tried anavaR

DAMmIT< my shift key is stuck again> this mesSAge loOks LIKE A RAnsom NOTe

heehee. ransom note.
yeah, I've tried taking tylenol pm and it did absolutely nothing and it in itself is hard enough on the liver, so I didn't take any more since it wasn't working.
then I took malatonin and it didn't help at all with falling asleep, but then when I did sleep, it made me sleep much longer - which isn't at all what I need b/c I can already sleep 14 hours or so no problem.
I had a bunch of xanax, but I didn't want an addiction and they weren't really for me anyway. although I found out later that they help GH levels...
so now I'm hoping the gbl works. I'm skeptical of it though b/c it makes you wake up in less time and you feel more rested, but it isn't necessarily b/c you really are, it is b/c it prevents dopamine from being used, but it still gets produced and then builds up, then once the g is out of your system then the dopamine hits and it wakes you up. you feel great, but it isn't the rest... so hopefully the 5 hours that you get is fitful sleep compared to whatever it is I get now.

I suppose I'll be finding out in a few weeks.
