Any suggestions on reaching ...

[extreme4life]

Hey, I'm new to this forum and just wanted to see what kind of feedback I'd receive in here. My boyfriend has competed in bodybuilding shows and we've been trying to figure out what will work best for me. I work out 5 days a week (both weight training and cardio) doing cardio on the 6th day. I am pretty petite, 5 feet @ 100lbs. I diet 6 days a week, am taking the ECA stack and just starting on my second day of Anavar. I want to cut up by the summer and was just wondering if anyone has any additional information for me on achieving my goals.

Thanks

What type of diet are you following? You already seem to be fairly petite - what's your current bodyfat % and how low do you want to get?

I eat egg whites, cream of wheat and grapefruit juice (breakfast)
Usually have a piece of fruit 2 - 3 hours later
Grilled chicken breast, brown rice, and steams broccoli at lunch
then a shake about 2-3 hours later
A can of tuna and rice before gym, then another shake after gym

I haven't checked bf % in awhile but last time it was at about 17%...been dieting better since then though. I just want to show some cuts, particulairy in mid section and legs, and not sure what bf % I need to reach to get there.

My bf suggested the anavar but I'm not sure if its going to what I'm looking for.

at 5' 100lbs, what is there to cut up? You need to drop the cardio and eca and anavar and eat You would probably look better with a little more muscle, and you get muscle by eating and working out with weights and doing no cardio

Ok so I want to add more muscle, defined muscle, what more could I be adding to my diet? And how lften do you suggest I do cardio...I don't think none is the answer.

Just looking for some advice on what it will take for me to gain more lean muscle...

Just 1 thought to start - "my bf suggested the anavar but I'm not sure its going to do what I'm looking for" -- esp when dealing w/ controlled substances - research first, experiment later.

What is the anavar brand you are using & what doseage are you planning? Granted you can always just stop, but generally the rule of thumb is "Plan your cycle, cycle your plan."

As BG said, the best way to beef up is to eat & train. I don't know what sort of shake you use, but you might want to toss one of the shakes and replace it w/ some more real food. Another question is what is your fat source? You might want to throw in some lean steak every now & then and some flax oil, maybe mix it in w/ the cream of wheat or the shake.

Also how long have you been training & are you lifting w/ intensity?

In general I think you will find LOTS of information on some of the stickies at the top of this board and also spend some time doing a lot of research on var. Seach on "anavar" on the women's board. One catch, esp if taking AS suggestions from a guy, do your own research because what's good for him isn't necessarily good for you. Understand the possible impact it will have on your body. (e.g. bloat, zits, mood change/aggression, change in menstrual cycle, etc.) I'm not saying you will experience all of these, but they are all possble because AS response is all very individual for us gals.

Hope this helps.

As for adding muscle, add lots more protein in your diet. Drop the grapefruit juice (unless you are taking it in conjunction with the anavar, I guess). How many egg white with breakfast? It doesn't look like you are eating enough cals to gain any muscle.

At 100lbs, lotsa cardio is quite counterproductive, IMO. If you cannot do without cardio, do it 3 tiems a week for 20 minutes. Or something like that. Focus more on weight training. Always lift before cardio. Gaining muscle will burn more fat than doing cardio ever will.
