Hi everyone! I am excited I decided to join a fitness forum. I have friends I hit the gym with to get advice from but I'd love a more broad range of opinions so here I am. Oh and of course because I love to work out.

STATS: 130lbs ~5'4 ~I think when I checked I was 21% BF.
- Your goals: what are you trying to accomplish? Do you have a date in mind?
My goal is to drop my BF to roughly 15% I want to have toned muscle.

- Your current training & cardio schedule: What’s your routine and how often you train?
MWF -legs, abs and cardio/zumba. TTH-upper body, cardio. Sat and Sun- cardio or the sauna. I am at the gym 4-7 days a week.

- Your current meal plan: including how many meals, portions, what you eat and when you eat.

I eat 6 meals a day.
BFST-protein shake, oatmeal or egg whites cooked.
Snacks-almonds, fruit, egg whites, raw veggies.
LUNCH- protein bar or a salad with chicken breast.
DINNER-salad with chicken breast or cooked chicken breast with veggies.

I am in the middle of sort of revising my diet. I have a bad problem with eating sweets and I am trying my hardest to cut them out, that and bad carbs.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My name is Amanda, I'm 22 years old. This past December I had to have surgery to remove a tumor from my left ovary and it resulted in a full ovary removal. Recovery was tough, but I used the time to take care of my body and decided that this was my second chance. Down almost 30 lbs.

By reddragon does that mean deca and test c? Some heavy juice there! Are you having other sides? I'm curious. There's mixed information about not having periods and health issues but it seems like the last I read, it wasn't as serious as we think. Having your body fat down to 10% is not very healthy though, unless you are planning on competing. The combination of steroids, low bf could potentially cause you issues down the road with hormones, perimenopause etc etc....

 

[WarGirl]

Yes that would be the one I know its heavy juice thats way i only do a half cc every second week and the results are amazing I started with a light acne but have that under control with pantothenic acid ( B5 ) and then not having my period other than that no other side effects

Thanks for the info

Hi!

I'm new to the forum. I'm 5'4, 175 lbs.BF is probably in the mid to upper 20's
.I carry a firm build but a high bf. I am currently doinga 16 weeks plan, to prepare to go to DLB camp in Februay. I build muscle easily, but cannot torch fat easy.
I currently lift 5 days a week..and this week have cardio at 4 45min a sesion. before is was mainly lifting (last 3 mon) with limite cardio.
I have competed in Figure several times, and in 2014 I am going to venture to Physique. So have changed up my routines, and cut back on cardio. Diet seems to be the hardest for me.

I am also starting a cycle of Igf lr3 and thinking of cycling in clen.

Hi All!!!!

Like I said I am new to this. They are all oral liquids, and I would like feedback on the dosing I should be taking (in cc's). I am looking to get lean and shredded!

My diet consists of 6 meals a day
1-egg white omelet (1/2 cup egg whites) w/ 1 cup veggies in it
2-small can or fillet of tuna with 2 cups veggies
3-9 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
4-1.5 scoops protein mixed in water
5-9 oz chicken breast, 2 cups romaine lettuce, 1 tomato,balsamic
