Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Thank you @guns01 that's very helpful! No worries with the birth control. Not on any. (Tubes are tied) I really appreciate your help! I need to find a dr that's open minded to listen to me! That's been the struggle. They basically rolled their eyes at me last time I went in and told them I thought my hormones were off.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Oh wow, that's horrible! I hope they all pull through with out any more trouble. Could you explain estro manipulation a little more to me? Mine stays in the higher ranges from what I can tell. I continually have trouble with symptoms of high estro.

since you already know you have high estro i would assume you have base line bloods to back it up. we know that for both men and women that above normal estro levels make it a pain to drop body fat and mess with a ton of other things in our body. your first choice would be to hit up the doc and see if they can or will work with you to bring it down into the normal range that you are good with. keeping in mind that a good doc will get you to a level that you feel good and see results in and not just the generic norm on the panel. that's the best doc to have the one that knows that each person is different and treats you for how you feel and not your numbers.

some otc supplements i use with my competitors that i have seen work pretty good in bringing estro down are:

black lion research exotherm cream (very good and effective)
black stone labs eradicate (havent tried with females but works very well for men)
iron mag labs e control 2.0 (another good one)

what we have done with these is. i will have my males run the product at suggested dose for 3-4 wks then have bloods done and adjust from there, for the ladies we normally go half the dose for 3wks and then have bloods done and go from there as well. we dont want to rock bottom a lady but go off of numbers and how they feel and obviously an enhanced lady is much different than a natty one. hopefully this can give you some ideas in a direction to head. also keep in mind and i know this is tmi but birth control also has an impact on estro as well. some ladies tend to forget this haha

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

some swear by it but again i am not a big fan of messing around with hormones or hormone manipulation in ladies. the only thing i actually am a fan of with ladies is a little bit of estrogen control. now i am going to say thins and it may be a complete coincidence or maybe not: i have 4 good friends 3 females and 1 male that took osta and another compound together and all 4 now have been diagnosed with cancer. 2 females with breast cancer 1 with ovarian and the male has prostate cancer. the scary thing is the females are all in the mid to late 20s and the male is in his mid 30s. one of the females was a client of mine for 2 years and i told her not to take it because i am not a big fan of sarms just yet and now she is having a double masectom(sp). that's enough for me not to be ready to suggest to people to use them. again it really could be complete coincidence but they all happened right around the same time and they were all taking the exact same products around the same time as well

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Looked one up! I will definitely be calling them tomorrow! It's supposed to help with fibromyalgia pain as well- which I was diagnosed with a few years ago! Thanks Guns!

that's great, most people dont listen to me haha. make sure you are super well hydrated before going and as well as after. trust me, you dont want to be dry when they go to doing work on you. keep us posted on your results and progress with this therapy

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

find a place that does graston technique work kat. some states only pt or chiros are allowed to do it and others massage therapists can. look around for a sports treatment joint and get it done. it is cheap but kind of painful but i am telling you right now it will change your life. i was blown up in 06 and have dealt with a jacked up lower back ever since. i had it done on a knee issue and it helped immediately, so the next time my back flared up i had it done. the first session it opened me up 2in and i squat and dead lift pain free. that is unless i do something stupid lol. this is and will be well worth adding in once or twice a month

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

This week is a scheduled deload so not really logging my workouts. Just more for getting the blood flowing as well as cardio, stretching and lots of foam rolling. Having some sciatic issues so hoping the rolling/stretching will work out any imbalances and knots.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

that's my favorite. nothing like being on the verge of throwing up or passing out. then the leg buckling as you try to hobble to your car. i have a car that has a manual shift and i have mistakenly a time or two in the past. that really sucks haha

I have definitely missed the feeling!!! It's one of those bittersweet feelings that only make sense to those who train hard! I am slowly understanding the different types of training.
