Like ammonia? And yes only when you sweat. Try chlorphyll caps. Or any of those greens powders w/ chlorophyll in them.

Shadow -

could you talk to me a little bit about the differences in nolva and a-dex - in regards to contest prep usage for wimmins?

I understand that nolva shuts down estrogen receptors and a-dex keeps estrogen from forming, correct? Could you explain a little more about that, and also why you prefer one over the other?

I have only a basic understanding of both, so am trying to educate myself a little more.

thanks.

Sure....


Nolvadex - soaks up existing estrogen - like you stated.

Arimidex - reduces formation of new estrogen - like you stated.


It's simply a matter of preference......I like the A-dex as it stops new Estero.....this gives overall levels a chance to fall.

Nolva "could" be added in later if the Adex doesnt do the trick - but Im sure that it will do what we need....in fact we might reduce the Ldex to 1/4 dropper or 1/2 dropper but EOD.

Smelly huh??

Most likely protein turnover as your metabolism is really cranked.

Green urine??

Could be from high levels of B vitamins asparagus, broc.

I've always associated that smelly sweat with not drinking enough water. Eating a high protein diet will cause a lot of urea and, without lots of water to flush it away, it comes out in the sweat.

If your urine is coming out strongly coloured, this would also point to inadequate water consumption. As Shadow says, B Vits will give a yellow/green colour to your urine. Drinking a lot helps to dilute it.

Back - 4 SETS ON ALL 15 REPS

SEATED CABLE ROWS WITH ROPE - PULLING HIGH(BETWEEN CHEST AND CHIN)
4 x 15/50 - Yow! these make the traps burn!

MEDIUM GRIP PULLDOWNS TO THE FRONT
4 x 15/60

MODIFIED BENT REAR LATERALS
1 x 15/8lb dbs
3 x 15/10lb dbs - struggled with these a little, but 8lbs was too light.

WEIGHTED HYPERS

4 x 15/25lb plate. OW. these hurt, too. lolol

-------------------------

My chest is SORE. wow. My pecs hurt all over. It's the first time in months that it's hurt like this. TWO THUMBS UP!! My armpits are also sore.

Great job on that back workout - funny how just using a different grip/attachment can make all the difference in the world where the foucs falls.

Great job on chest as well.......TUT is approx the same as it has been (60ish seconds) per set....but you were more sore from this workout than the Giant Sets which also had roughly the same TUT(with really no rest between sets).

So.....I guess we see that the number of reps done with little/no rest has little effect upon being sore....it may contribute.....but I think the "high reps = latic acid = soreness" myth is finally going away

I've been getting my gallon a day in - all I do is pee (it seems, anyway). The green urine is probably from the spinach & brocolli I"ve been eating.

Jeff says that I've probably smelled bad all along and just now noticed. lolol How sweet.

so now your senses are magnified!

You are looking fantastic girl! Keep up the good work. Whens the next set of pictures????

 

[blut wump]

Maybe you need more. Some people seem not to settle until around the 2 gallon mark.

Your gallon is probably a puny American gallon, anyway, rather than the mighty Imperial gallon. Our gallons are 25% larger than yours.

I'm trying to take them every week - so probably this weekend. I'm going up to Prescott tomorrow. My son is in a spelling bee. He likes to take pictures, so I'll let him do it.


I miss him. . I'll be so happy when we either (1) get this new house built so I can get everyone in the same place or (b) buy the house next door for the same reason. He's staying with grandma until the school year is out. In the meantime, I'm trying to get organized down here so that there's enough living space for all of us (grandma, too.)

is it a bright green or a dark shade of yellow that starts to look green?

the bright yellow/greeen is just b-vitamns going to waste or your veggis, but if its darkish yellow/green might signal possible liver issues (17aa's?) or dehydration
