Contest Prep... Clen, Var, Xenadrine RFA-1

[superqt4u2nv]

Aries if you worried about energy pick up some OTC fat burners. If you do carb cycling at all or have any very low carb days you WILL need them trust me from experience. With trainers I understand the hesitation to post your diet cause some is giving you there advice and that is what you are following. Very smart to drop the clen seriously from experience and ECA stack does more IMO and none of the sides the clen gives you. It sucks that your sick I got sick near the end of my first contest prep. Best adivce is drink a shit load of water and vitamin C in Canada we have this supplement called Cold FX pretty sure it is not in the US but basically you take if you feel something coming on and it kills it.

Best wishes in the New Year and good luck with your first contest.

Thanks sooo much for the feedback. I am feeling like shit one minute and then 2 minutes later I feel normal...Ive never been sick like that before. Its almost like I am like a step into a sickness ...weird
Im downing the Vitamin C and Im on my 2nd liter of water. Hopefully my body will beat this . I guess when it comes down to it, Id rather get sick RIGHT NOW and miss some gym time than 2 or 3 weeks out from the contest. I just finished bulking. I wanted to add that my stats have stayed somewhat the same and now im just what my workout partner calls it "maintaining". I do however get mad every now and then, well actually almost every day, that my jeans dont fit and that my biceps dont fit in my cute little shirts anymore. LOL
I guess thats what bulking does, but I cant wait to just cut up and see all this work I've put in.

I'm sick too... hate to actually admit it though, makes me feel defeated.
Emergency-C is making me feel better. I have been downing 4 packets a day, also green tea, the real stuff, Sen-Cha.
I went to the gym 3 days ago and it made it worse. now it's in my chest too. feels like my lungs and throat were attacked by a belt sander.

I guess i feel better knowing that Im not alone in this. Its like eating me away that I cant go to the gym. Hopefully skipping today will make me stronger for tomorrow. I better be able to go tomorrow....Its just so weird that its like an on-and-off sickness. And this whole no apetite thing really sucks. My throat feels better....I just woke up from a 2 hour nap and I feel like a new individual.

Sorry to hear that Aries- however, 'tis the season ....

Yes definitely take the time off if that is what your body is asking of you. Recovery is the forgotten part of training... If you don't allow appropriate recovery in your schedule, due to training, health or whatever, your body will simply MAKE you take the time.

Amen to that I tried to work through my flu well not only did I almost start crying cause I had the shittiest leg work out of my life but the two days to follow me pushing myself to go to the gym were spent in bed sleeping in between going to the bathroom

Fat-ASS

Damn...just woke up and I feel worse than yesterday. I wanna go work out sooo bad but it aint gonna happen. I got my boyfriend sick too and now he's bitching about the same thing. I cant wait to get better.....

I was gonna just say, being a girl and all, that I got so depressed yesterday b/c my boyfriend's mom(along w/ my mom a few weeks ago) asked me why "I gained so much weight".....I wanted to die!!!! I know I know, I just finished bulking but its still hard to accept that my freaking body got a lot bigger.....like I said..I went from 130lbs 29%bf to 148lbs and 21%bf......I gained weight and I was supposed to, but now being sick and not being able to work out and hearing the words "why did you get fatter?" kinda killed me.....I cried like a bitch....anyone know where I'm coming from>????

Don't give it too much energy. Think of it as a phase in your overall program. You have to allow for shit to happen. No one can stay tip top 24/7 365 a year.
Muscle has memory, your rest will probably end up benefiting you more than you think, especially if you have not rested in the past few months. It's good to take at least a week off, after every 12 weeks of training.
Tell the Mom's you have been enjoying the holidays, and all the wonderful food they have been making!!! It's your winter coat... skinny is out, j/k!
Use the down time for other things, (time is a blessing and a luxury).
Dont worry you'll bounce back stronger.

I just cant wait to start the cutting diet and training...so for my show in April they can come and see all my hard work ....

Anyone got any good new years resolutions??? I've decided to work on my self esteem and trying to love my self a little bit more...kinda take it easy and not be so hard on my self. I got major body image issues....
