The old ECA stack I think 100% as well as Clen. Yes exactly "imaginary lat"....was actually gonna say that. It was that totally. That much pump in the bis caused tendon pain for me when I'd try to straighten my arm all the way.

ok...for some reason, even despite my EC stack, i was REALLY lethargic in the gym today! and tired! it was leg day too 
i had a rough time getting thru that workout! ugh. i think i did ok, tho...took me longer than usual, but i went really heavy.
another thing i noticed...the bottoms of my feet are really hurting when i lift! almost like i get a little pump under there...strange, eh? never happened before. just thought id mention it. i have really flat feet, no arches at all.

day 27: good morning everyone! weight was up a bit this morning, 135.6. hmm.
update: today actually turned out kind of sucking. im in a shit mood, very annoyed and i cant seem to snap out of it. everyone and everything is pissing me off. also, im bloated, hungry, and lethargic.
i know i shouldnt be so negative, and its mind over matter, im trying to reach a goal, blah blah, but ya know what? today im not having any fucking fun. i hate cardio, i hate dieting, i hate being tired and im sick of never getting to see my husband, except when were going to sleep.
yes, i know i asked for this and im not a vicitim, but sometimes it feels good, if only briefly, to piss and moan.

day 28: well, im feeling better today 
today is the last day of my cycle...i decided not to continue the epi for an additional 2 weeks. today i woke up with 2 pimples (i NEVER get pimples normally) and i feel like im holding a bit of water too. weight was 134.2 this morning.
i liked this supplement. would i do it again? yes. i have quite a bit left, so perhaps down the road ill run another cycle during my looooooong sloooooow cleeeeeeaaaan bulk that i have planned for after this next comp.
i would also be interested in trying anavar, it would be interesting to see how it compares to epi. dont know where to get it tho, perhaps that will come in time.
i will say one thing tho: my voice is slightly lower. i doubt anyone has noticed at all, but scott and i can tell that its just a tad lower. to be honest, this doesnt bother me. its such a teeny difference, its not like a whole octave lower or anything.
ill keep you guys updated on how things go in the few days after my cycle is done...im anxious to see if my appetite takes a little dive...i hope it does! epi makes me hungry as shit. like i need an increase in appetite, i already have a bigg'un!
happy friday everyone...

wow, thanks ladies!!! glad i could inspire/inform
early morning cardio...ya. i actually surprise myself with these am sessions. but the thought of working all day, then lifing, THEN having to do an hour plus of cardio helps get my ass out of bed in the moring, hehe. i am NOT a morning person, and a HEAVY sleeper, so every morning is a struggle...poor scott has to endure many snooze buttons.

137.6 this morning! sheesh. where did that come from? seems like kind of alot...
actually, i think i know where. im not having a refeed today (dont feel like i earned one) but i did decide to have a tiny treat yesterday - some 85% dark chocolate and a one glass of red wine. it REALLY hit the spot. i guess i could be holding a bit of water due to my "treat".
going to have my body fat tested this morning...kinda scared. never did it right before the show, and i wish i would have. i still think im fairly lean...i was thinking back to january 1st when i decided to compete...i was 141 lbs. size 4 or 6 pants. now, i weigh almost the same, but my body looks COMPLETELY different!(size 2 pants) its really cool...i definately did some recomping.
in other news...im feeling confused about the upcoming show. i dont know if i want to do it anymore. i feel like im rushing things, and that im not going to be in that much better shape than the first one i did...sometimes i think, why dont i bulk slowly for like, 6 or 7 months, and then cut for say, 4 or 5? seems like contest prep is best done slowly like that. and then ill be in KILLER shape, and could do a bigger show even...
DAAAH i just dont know. i feel like this whole thing is just a big gray area, and its stressing me out (hello, cortisol secretion!) the first show i felt like i had a plan, and i was going to execute said plan and do the show come hell or high water. now i feel like...well, my little "bulk" diet may have been less than honorable (not too bad, but probably one or two more cheat meals than i should have had) and i have 10 weeks to cut, but i dont know if ill really be able to get SHREDDED by then...blah, blah. oh and one more thing...im REALLY tired of how massive my effing appetite is. what the hell? its constant gnawing, and now even the ephedrine isnt really taking the edge off. fml.
eh, i dont know, now im just sort of rambling. anyhoo...off to cardio
