anavar questions

[amberyaknow]

hi every one thanks for having me for starters!

My boyfriend has been involved in body building for his own personal bennefit for about 2 years now. After seeing his amazing growth i decided i would try a cycle of somthing. Ive been doing 30-60 minutes of cardio 4-5 times a week some times twice a day (ill hit the gym in the morning and do some laps in the pool at night) i also lift weights after my cardio sessions. I eat lean, as to say i don't only have brown rice and white chicken breast i enjoy a steak and buffalo when ever im able to. My diet use to consist of burger king and pizza hut when i was going through school so this is a big healthy change for me hahaha! Now that you know a little about me here are my questions.. these aren't from lack of searching.. the internet doesnt give much info on this stuff..

im sure a lot of these ill have to ask my doctor about. Im still not that comfortable (though i should be) with talking to my doctor about this.

I just quit taking birth control because i was working my self to death taking suplements(multi, l carnitine, CLA, hydroxycut hardcore,amino 1000's) eating right and drinking 2-4 gallons of water a day and i was seeing absolutely no fat loss. My legs have really shaped up and i noticed a change in my arms and up around my ribs but my pudgie stomach was still there. It also made me extremely moody. I had been on it sence i was 13 (i am 23 now) and i was diagnosed with pre- cancer of the cervex and i read a report yesterday that said it may be associated with long term use of birthcontrol. I go through a state clinic in the family planning section so they would rather give you the pills then you become pregnant and i dont know that they think about any long term health issues with it. Ive notice my blood pressure goes to extreme levels when i was on it also.

i noticed that most of the people that use anavar are already in good shape. I would consider being 5'4" and about 155 pounds not in good shape. I am average if not below average by every day standards i wear a size 10. Im not trying to make excuses for my weight but i am on the curvy side. Im not trying to be a stick. I just want my waist back and tone up. Is this even possible for some one my size?

I have made drastic changes to my diet and life. I don't take in any salt and i eat lean protein. What is the best food plan for some one on anavar?


I also read that this is perscribed by doctors to people with waisting diseases. Im deffinately not waisting away hahaha so will this have an adverse effect if im already on the heavy side?

Thanks-
Amberyaknow

Welcome Amberyaknow! I do believe that you can do exactly what you want to accomplish. My Fiance is a competitor and she sounds like she was built just like you. She now has six pack abs and is getting ready to do another contest as we speak. You definitely do not have to go to this extreme but I am sure you can find a middle ground to achieve your goals. One of the first things I would suggest and I have heard her do it with numerous other women, Post a diet log and let us look at exactly what you eat for 4-5 days (be honest) and what you do in the gym and cardio schedule if any. I bet with a few changes you can easily get your waist where you want it. As for the anavar, what mg are you on and how long do you plan to do a cycle? I would suggest doing the above first. Not to be rude but I bet your diet is off and cardio is not correct. Get these fixed than add in the anavar and you can see major changes if training correctly. Believe me she and I have plenty of experience with anavar. The problem is so many people skip the food and training piece they never really reap the benefits of the supplements and steroids. Give you an idea, in five weeks she has gone from 22%BF to 15%BF. The more interesting part is during that she has gone from 137LBS to 143LBS. She has actually gained substantial lean muscle while dropping BF getting ready for a show! This is very difficult to say the least. Anyway, hope this helps!

yay im soo excited to post a reply i dont know where to start hahahaha

I havent started taking my anavar yet. I wanted to get pumped up and ready in the gym before i got started. If im going to do anything im going to do it right!!!!! sence i quit takeing my birth control ive noticed i sweat buckets and buckets more. my heart doesnt race and my pulse stays more controlled. here in the next couple of days i want to take pics and measurements to track my muscle gains and fat loss. Every one has been saying they notice a change in me but ive been chalking half of their reaction up to trying to make me feel better. When i hit the gym i hit it hard most machines help you calculate aproximate calorie burn and ive been working hard to get 350 calories in 30 minutes on the elipticle 2 1/2 miles running or 4 1/2 miles cycleing the other day was the first time ive EVER ran 30 without stopping it was about 2 1/2 miles. For some people that may not seem like much... but the second i was done i bust in to tears i was soooo proud of my self ive been a LONG time fat kid. I finally put my foot (and fork ) down. I reallllly enjoy exercise enough now to want to go to the gym two times a day before and after work. When i do start my anavar.. i think im going to be doing 5 mg's maybe twice a day..

here is my diet and exercise so far starting yesterday!

today! 6-20-07
supplements and 32oz water
scrambled eggs with onion on whole wheat toast

32 oz water 35 minutes of cardio (elipticle) and 15 minutes on abs and core (crunches, leg lifts, twist machine and that thing thats at a 45 degree angle that you bend over holding a weight that works your stomach and love handles)

snack 8 oz watermelon oranges and cantalope (i work for a fruit company lucky meee!!)24 oz water

not sure what im going to make for dinner.... probbably somthing chicken related (chicken with crushed pepper, onion and sesamee seeds) with rice and spinach..

tonight i also plan on doing about 20-30 minutes of cardio maybe swimming( i have a year pass to our local water park also so i might hit that up.. all of the slides have really steep high stairs so i get to climb about 8 flights of stairs before i go down a slide there is also a wave pool to wake board in) or the row machine if i go to the gym instead of the park and some back and tricepts (its back and tris day for my boyfriend) along with some more core.. im looking into joining some classes.. kick boxing or boot camp class.. somthing realllllly intense.. for a chunky girl i have a whole lotta endurance.

Thanks a bunch!!! ill let you know tomorrow what i ended up doing with my self.

Amber, doing good! Keep posting. I can already see a few things I would reccomend but for know I would just keep doing what your doing. Have you had a physical recently or any outstanding medical conditions? Are you taking a protein supplement? I think you want to loose wieght but not to the extreme that the second you quit doing what you are doing you gain it all back. So take this slow and use it to make permanent changes to your lifestyle and health. Ask boyfriend about helping you came up with some sort of work out routine for entire body that you can commit to doing every week. This is definitely dependent on what goals you have but no matter what they are some sort of full body weekly workout will definitely benefit you.

[amberyaknow]

I had a physical about 3 months ago. up until i moved to the mountains i got pnemonia once a year from the humidity of living in alabama. I am probbably in the best shape of my life. The only thing i have wrong with me is Pre-cancer of the cervex and im getting that removed on the first of next month. (it sounds like a scarry thing but lots and lots of women have it and its not bad unless you leave it be for a long time.) I eat muscle milk bars for protein when i dont have time to make something to eat. Shakes about 90% of the time just make me gag and throw up... I have no idea why but ive tried every flavor of every kind and theres just somthing about the texture or flavor i dont know.. they dont stay down too long..
Sence i met my boyfriend my eating and life style changed I know i wont go back to the way things were because i have no room for error. We dont even allow our selves to be around bad food We very rarely eat out and i cant remember the last time i had somthing just purely fattening and delicous hahaha.
He has really helped me with my work out routine but his mostly consists of certain things for certain days back and tris, chest and bicepts, legs, back and abs. He might do 40 minutes of cardio a week!!! only heavy lifting I tried to jump in his days and do no cardo like him and it was just sad.. I Love cardio now so i try to do my running and what not and then the last 20 minutes or so ill go do quick sets and burn outs of what ever he did while i was doing my cardio (he has two partners so they take a while to get through one exercise i get my cardio done before they are half way through) thats why im thinkibng abouit joining a few classes. They dont mix their stuff up and im a firm believer in the bennifit of muscle confusion.

ohh yesterday i ran for 30 minutes and ate a huuuuge turkey leg and walked up about 60 flights of stairs.

[amberyaknow]

ohk... friday...

Toast and macademia nuts with my supplements
watermelon and a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat with mustard
Snap peas and carrots
chicken cheese quesadilla

i wasnt able to get to the gym. My neice had a continuation ceremony shes a middle schooler now yay! i did some swimming at her party but nothing you can really call aerobic

today has been even worse!

i forgot my pills and couldnt get to the gym this morning because i over slept! i guess its good to have skip days every so often..

and because i had to race to work i havent really eaten any thing.
i cant wait to get home grr...


so what am i doing wrong so far?

[Stormbringer]

Hey Amber, I am not ignoring you just need to see your log for another couple of days and I am being very basic with this suff. Do not want to hit you with major changes and complicate the hell out of this because the most important thing is for you to stay motivated and keep trying to do what you are doing. The hardest part of any of this for most people is getting to the gym! I tell people this all the time. Years ago I would even make myself go when I was sick even if I just stood in there and did nothing for 15 minutes! Dont like to break routine. This is a little extreme but I have never been accused of anything else Anyway, definitely check out the log Levidity posted and you both should keep track of each other and motivate each other. One thing I will say about your most recent post, you can not, not eat. This does not work. In fact I will get some ideas to you but I did not think you were taking in enough calories as it was, and now you are skipping meals. Not good for your health girl. You have got to come up with some healthy snacks and buy some RTD's to keep at home or work. Find out in your town where they sell them so if you are busy doing whatever you can drive to there and buy one. This is better than skipping meals but still not as good as a real brown bag lunch that you have prepared. As I told you my girlfriend is a pretty serious competitor at national level and she is 8 weeks away from her next show. She had to go out of town yesterday for three days and basically took all of her meals for the next three days with her in a cooler. This is really extreme but you have to really make some lifestyle changes and look at the dedication that gets put in to this. And, I assume since you are using anavar, you would not be doing this if you are not serious about reaching your goals. So hang in there and keep posting. What happened to getting a work out routine posted?

[amberyaknow]

hey!! thanks man...
sorry ive been slacking.. i get online when i am at work and lately we have been reallly busy! I had my final surgery (i was diagnosed with precancer of the cervex) and in about eh... 2 weeks im going to start my cycle i want to make sure im all healed and ready to really bust some ass. Right now im reallly tender and achie.

when i get another second ill post my work outs and my measurements... i want to get all of that squared away before i get started.

One shitty thing about my work is that i dont get any real lunch breaks.. i have to work around our customers.. im trying to find another job because this isnt working for me.

when i dont eat it isnt on purpose.. i tried that whole starve your self thing and it didnt work for me hahaha when i dont get a chance to eat its cause my boss is breatheing down my neck!!! this person needs that, that person needs this forget about little amber...

[Stormbringer]

Amber, hope you feel better and all is well with your surgery. Take your time getting better and plan out how you want to do this while you are taking time off healing. Then when you start feeling better, you can get everything ready to go and do this with no excuses. That sucks about your job. Do not let them walk on you. I will keep checking back for posts and to see when you are feeling better.
