So, I've decided to keep a journal of my bb passion. Now is a good time for me to write here, as I am beginning a journey I've never been on before. I'll start this journal with my stats......as of now.

41 years young
130 pounds (although the mirror tells me a lot more than a scale does)
5 Feet, 4 inches tall

I'll take accurate measurements and current pics tomorrow and post them up here. (you can check out the pics I've posted thus far in my album)

I've been bb seriously for only a year, although I did a lot of it when I was young. (in my early 20s) We're at the gym three days a week, doing splits.............. Monday is arm and chest day. Weds is backs and shoulders and Friday is leg day.

Currently:

Bench press 100 lbs
Leg press 360 lbs
squat 180 lbs
Lat pull 130 lbs

The reason I am writing this journal is 'cause my gear is here, and I'm ready to roll. This is my first cycle and I'm very excited. I'm not expecting too much, but I know I'll see some results. I've been re-vamping my diet, as I want to gain muscle mass and lose some 'fat'. Not so much cut, but see a bit more of my gains. The plan is to start my cycle next week............... so here goes.

I encourage you to write here, with advice, support and just to say 'hi'. I'll try to keep things updated as best as I can. This has been a great forum, and I feel comfortable writing about my journey.

See ya soon,
Gettinthere
 
Hi there! i find that a log keeps me on track. it makes you feel acountable. good luck!
 
get a good spotter, someone who you can depend on and know they will be there with you, i find it nice to have someone who is there to help push me, there are times when my mind tells me no but then i literally hear that voice behind me saying "dont think just fucking do it" for me it helps me break through the mental barrier of the lift. If you ever second guess yourself or have doubt in your mind, you have already failed, so i would recommend you find a good dependable spotter. also if your body is screaming at you for a break then by all means get some rest. thats some of my advice.

I totally agree Z499! My partner is my spotter and he's my 'diving force' in my moments of weakness. I couldn't do as much as I do without him! I also feel safe, so I can challenge myself to do more. I do the same for him. Great way to work, don't you think? ;)
 
In regards to my diet........ I'm finding it hard to shop for low sugar (almost 0) and low carbs but high protien. I've come up with a few great meals, but I'm sure to get sick of them quickly. This morning I came up with a breakfast that I'm sure I'm gonna eat a lot of. A variation of scrambled eggs but add salsa, peppers, meat, cheese and sour cream. It fits the bill. ;)

Hey doc, I checked out your 'log for getting in shape'. I like the idea........... although it may be a bit clumsy to carry a notepad and paper around the gym. I'll give it at try, for sure. The more ways to motivate, the better.
I also liked your pics...........the before and after. Can you post more current ones? Its fantastic to get into shape........... it just makes me feel so much better about everything. Thanks for your comments, and I hope to hear more from you in the future! Smiles, Gettinthere. ;)

It's slow going right now and I've only lost a few pounds since my last pic, not much visible change (at least not that you could see in a picture... I've noticed some small changes), so I won't be uploading another pic, until there is something to see. ;P

If you know your routine, you could fill in everything but the numbers ahead of time, then just jot down that down after each set. Bingo-bango!
 
Well, I haven't noticed too much for sides yet............. a bit of sensitivity 'there'. ;)
As well, and I know this sounds kinda wierd, and maybe not related at all but.............. since I had my kids (a long time ago), my hair falls out quit a bit. I understand this is normal. But since I've started the var, my hair is Not falling out like it was. Strange.........
I've noticed some growth in my calves, and this is the first week. They have grown a half inch already. I'll keep you updated........... ;)
 
What compound(s) and dosages are you using? It'd probably be a good reference for other people if they wanted to try something similar.

I am taking 20mg of Oxandrolone (anavar) ed. I started a week ago. 10mg in the am and 10mg at night. For the girls that are interested in gains, know that I am taking a min of 150gr of protien ed. Careful diet and lots of water!!!! The videos are from before my first cycle. I had a great leg workout today and got such a pump............. I've never experienced that before and I know its just gonna get better!

Nice. Glad its working out so well for you. Even on the hair front... weird, but can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
 
So, like many of us here on IM, I work full time during the week. As a bb, I have to watch what I eat to maximize my gains. Wasted money and time on gear if I'm not eating right. I do my cooking for the week on either Sat. or Sun 'cause I take my own food to work. I hate to eat out, and don't want to spend my hard earned money on junk......... So, as i was cooking today, I thought I would take the time to calculate the protien value, carb values and calorie values of the said meals.
I made two full meals, each with 8 servings. (my hubby is a bb too and he eats the same way)

First, No Crust Quiche (and for the record, real men eat quiche if they want a megga protien boost) This recipie is great as it can be eaten both hot and cold. Easy to pack for lunches.
10 eggs (xtra large)
500ml cottage cheese (or you can use ricotta)
250ml sour cream
250ml feta
1 cup milk
1 onion minced
1 cup meat (I use chicken)
3 brocolli flowerettes
Cheese to top it.......... ementall, gouda, mozza or cheddar...... whatever you like.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Total Calories:2501 Per slice: 312.6
Total Carbs:58gr Per slice: 7gr
Total Protien:243gr Per slice: 30.5gr

The second recipe is even better! Low carb, high protien Lasagna.
400gr ground chicken
1/2 cup mixed green, red and yellow peppers
2 jars spag. sauce (check the label for low carb)
Rice lasagna noodles (I find them in the health food isle of my shopping centre)
500ml cottage cheese
500ml mozza (this is a lot! you don't have to use this much, as it adds to the calorie count big time!)
250ml sour cream
3 eggs
750ml cottage cheese (yes, I've written this twice)
soften onion and peppers (and whatever else you want to add) in olive oil. brown your chicken. Add the sauce and the first part of the cottage cheese and sour cream. simmer.
beat eggs and add the second part of the cottage cheese.
Layer the sauce (lots of sauce makes the noodles work better) and noodles, egg/cottage cheese mix/sauce/noodles........ you get the idea.
top with mozza
Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour covered in foil. Take the foil off and continue to bake for another 15min.
Let stand at least 10 min.
Calorie value:3686 each piece: 460 (remember that I used 500gr of mozza = 1333 cal. on its own)
Carb value: 49gr each piece: 6gr
Protien value: 430gr each piece: 53.75gr (Wow!)

these don't take all that long to prepare and they both work well in the microwave. Great for late night snacks, easy lunches or fast dinners............... enjoy!
