Re: Love2liftkat's training log

i got the idea from a top end strength and conditioning doc's article i read. so the theory is that it both primes activates and warms up the glutes and hips allowing them and everything else to fire more properly. the trade off as you figured out is we are worn out and killed when we roll into the rest of our training haha.

looked like a great session though

Most definitely!! It was a great session! The lunges actually didn’t bother my hip like usual! I could feel difference in how everything was firing and warmed up!! Glad you shared the suggestion!

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Warmed up a few mins on the treadmill but used deadlifts as my “cardio” haha The girl I train with doesn’t lift heavy so I have to squeeze in and heavier work I can here and there. Today’s workout was excellent! Left feeling exhausted like it was a leg day! Too bad I can’t take a nap! 🤣

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

if you cant go heavier on the hip thrust kat add in some iso holds at the top and or mid point for 10-30sec each set. takes them to a whole other level. i dont use resistance at all most of the time myself

No doubt! The 5 secs I held it were tough already! Haha

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Sorry I got behind posting. I have been logging though. Update below...Clen dose is up to 80 mcg (40 2x’s a day) Only thing I can’t seem to grasp is my muscles feel very tired(maybe from the slight shaking?) My neck and shoulders are the worst. I have had bad headaches pretty much since I started it. They are tension headaches like I have struggled with in the past. Nothing phases them. Open to any ideas or suggestions on minimizing these effects. Lol

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

with the clen you can add in taurine at 3-5g per day for starters. making sure your electorlytes are on point also which doesnt seem to be an issue because you arent cramping up. the addition of the tension head aches could be coming from the extreme cns stimulation you get from clen. other than dehydrating me and causing head aches it never aggervated my tension head aches at all. maybe some valarine root at night to make your muscles relax and it could carry over to the next day. that would def be worth a go
