    Please see the section on Clen: http://forums.rxmuscle.com/showthrea...omen-amp-Drugs

    2 weeks at low dose is mostly a waste for the effort and any "results" will most likely come out in the wash, particularly for the stress it adds to your body (i.e. cortisol -> fat retention). You're welcome to do it, but if you're going to bother, I'd run a longer cycle. Clen is one of those things that IMO only works if you're already running a tight diet and it will support that. If you're not running an ultra tight diet, IMO its not worth the stress it adds w/ the tension headaches & shakes. Also if you do run it, be sure to supplement w/ L-Taurine to help w/ cramping.

    Hi tube socks your doing great! I don't recommend using the clen. There are other options and you have not been on anavar long enough to see what you can do on your own. I recommend using the HIIT method or sprints in the park. I shed fat in my second month using anavar
    first month 10mil 1.5 month 12 mil 2 months 15 milligram . sprints 3 x per week I found gave me better leanness than clen. I continued to lose weight even a few weeks after using clen and got down to dangerous low weight. This is not a drug I recommend taking unless your competing and must get leaner than you normally would .

    Ok. I will hold off on the clen. Do you guys have any suggestions seeing my diet on ways to tighten it up or even completely change it. I'm always open to a better diet. One more thing (this might be too much info) but I can't tell you the last time I went to the bathroom....deuce. I've been taking a fiber supplement too. What can I change about that? Maybe I'm eating too much protein....150-200g and too little fat which varies from 50-150g depending on lowfat days...

    Here's a short article/Q&A that discusses the need for fiber in a keto-style diet:
    http://www.space.com/19195-night-sky...-webcasts.html

    You might find some places in your diet to add more vegetables, and maybe look at a different fiber supplement. One easy way I've been getting more Vit C in my diet is putting my whole eggs + egg whites in the blender w/ 1-2 cups of fresh spinach. I would be careful w/ broccoli / kale / cauliflower as those I would include digestive enzymes w/ to help break down more efficiently. Another alternative for more vegetables in a keto diet is using a Greens powder. You can get decent ones at most health food stores or Whole Foods.

    I read that too much fiber can actually have a reverse effect and block things up. I have been eating 2 cups of baby spinach everyday with my lunch and dinner, sometimes asparagus or green beans with dinner. Also taking a fiber supplement everyday for the recommended dose. I read that I should start taking a probiotic, add green tea regularly, and also maybe add some ground flax seed to my shakes. I will try this out. Otherwise, arms and legs are shaping up nicely, just feel really bloated in my stomache and need to get that back down. Gym today to work lagging body parts and then an outdoor run. I will try some sprints after my run today.

    Thought I'd post some pics. The first is me in Feb 2014. The second is me today. Believe it or not in the Feb pic I still went to the gym 5 times a week and worked out similar to what I do now. My diet was way off though. Low protein and high carbs plus I went out drinking a bit. Now diet is so much better and I cut out alcohol.IMG_20140202_144324_321-20140502-212756148_1.jpgIMAG0056_1.jpg

    I changed my workout around yesterday. I'm going to follow a workout I found on the bodybuilding.com website. The split is as follows;
    Mon. Chest/abs
    Tues. Arms
    Wed. Legs/abs
    Thurs. Shoulders
    Fri. Back/abs
    Sat. Circuit light weight
    The workout has me doing 4-5 sets of an excercise using the pyramid scheme. I start with a lighter weight at 15 reps and end with a heavier weight at 8-10 reps. Before I was lifting mostly heavier with 3 sets at 6-10 reps. I've done two of the workouts so far and can feel the difference switching up the workout. Diet has been good. Weight is at 138. I've been doing longer cardio since the weather isnicer and I can go outside and run. I dislike cardio very much, but I do it... Lifting weights is where the fun is!

    The change up in my workout has kicked my butt this week. I've def been feeling the workouts. Today I did a circuit 3 times through with no rest in between sets. 1st time I've done a circuit. It tires you out and is a good way to get your heart rate up. Strength gains are constantly going up. Feels great to be able to do a set of tricep push downs using more weight than the guy next to me doing them I can't wait til the var cycle is over to do a good cut and see all the changes. My boyfriend grabbed my side yesterday and told me my side had muscles on top of muscles. Lol. Things are really starting to feel rock hard.

    Yesterday was chest day. My chest is really sore today. I realized yesterday that I have added 35 lbs to my bench press in the last 5 weeks. That is not my one rep bench either, but to my regular sets. I started a different diet this week. I was doing the keto, but started to have trouble just getting out of bed. I was feeling drained. I am eating carbs, higher carbs toward the start of the week and tapering the carbs down toward the end of the week. I also changed my cardio up. I started doing 4 minutes of tabata cardio followed by 20-25 minutes of steady pace cardio. The tabata is tough. 4 minutes doesn't sound like much, but if you really give it your all it will really kick your butt.

    Tabatas are fucking brutal, I feel your pain!

    Keto definitely needs sufficient carb ups. I've really enjoyed my long running keto diets, but IMO it takes a toll on muscle over long term. It has its place in the arsenal of diet phases, but generally carb rotations have been my go-to. I would suggest maybe fine-tuning your carb intake to when you use the carbs. I don't know your current split, but I would put them on your heavy/ major lift days and lighter on accessory / cardio / rest days.
