BSN Stack for females - Tuesday, August 15, 2006 6:13 AM ( #1 )
Hi all,

I'm new to the board, but have enjoyed reading what a lot of you have to say.

My question is:  Can a girl take the BSN stack without ill effects? 

Here's my deal.  I'm almost 30, 5'5", and 171 pounds.  I know that is not an ideal weight.  I am athletic however and work out 6-days a week, weights and cardio.

My basic week is this:
Monday - Chest and Back - flat bench, incline, decline, db flyes - lat pulldowns, 1-arm db pulls, seated row
Tuesday - Bi's and Tri's - db curls, db hammer curls, isolated curls - pushdowns, kickbacks, and the one where you push the db above you head using both arms (I have no idea what it's called)
Wednesday - Legs - hack squats, leg press, extensions, curls, and calves
Thursday - Shoulders - db presses, db front raises, db side raises, and the one where you use the preacher curl bar with your hands in the middle and lift straight up (again, I have no idea what that's called too)
Friday - Back and Chest - just a reverse of Monday's routine
Saturday - Legs - reverse of Wednesdays routine

I do at least 30 minutes of cariod each time, mixing it up with bike and elliptical and doig intervals as well.  Most days I get 45-60 minutes in of cardio.

I feel like I am fairly strong - my flat bench max is 145 and I can rep at 135.  I can decline around 150.  My db curls are 30lb weights, tricep kickbacks are up to 20 and that overhead thing is 40-45. 

I primarily use pyramid lifting with reps of 12, 10, 8, 6, and 12 for each exercise.  I have had significant increases in my strength in the last six months, but see no difference in my body.

My deal is that I have been the same weight since February, not fluctuating more than one or two pounds.  I don't know my body fat %.  Even inches seem to be the same as they were six months ago.  

I want to get stronger but also lean out/tone at the same time.  Is that a little counterintuitive?  Do I need to pick one over the other?

I am in the Army and a lot of guys I am staioned with do the BSN stack and have had great results.  Does anyone know what will happen if I try this for two months?  They guys, one a personal trainer with a Master's in exercise physiology, say that it won't have any ill affects.  Anyone out there know any females that have tried it?

Sorry this post got a bit lenghty! 

Thanks for your time and advice,
LB

first you need to make sure you take a multi-vitamin everyday.  And it is just as safe for you as any other man.  There has never been any ill effects on any person usign BSN, that i have heard of.  It is safe.

I have personally used the bsn stack with great results. I also used to rep for Mass Nutrition and there is no problem with a woman taking it (just leave out the Axis-HT, duh) but nitrix, no-explode and cellmass are great products.
 
Those are some nice lifts and I hope to see more of you on the boards.
