Re: Love2liftkat's training log

that's awesome you were able to get in and get a recovery session done. if you can hit it consistently you will see a world of difference for sure.

I hope so! It has started to cause my left hip to hurt too. Want to get a handle on it all. Especially if I ever decide to have the surgery to repair the labrum, I want all muscular and alignment to be corrected.

I’m pretty sore/tender today but I was able to use the foam roller on my IT bands just a little lower than where she worked yesterday.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

That did cross my mind! Thanks



Sorry I’m doing a competition on another forum so I get behind keeping up everywhere. Haha

Training and nutrition were good this week had my son’s birthday party last weekend so I splurged a little...down another 2 lbs though and feeling leaner! Even had a gym friend that I haven’t seen in a while comment- saying I had lost a lot! That’s always encouraging!!

School did start back so I’m lifting from 5-5:45, driving home to get son on the bus about 6:10...back to the gym or dam to do cardio from 6:30-7. It’s challenging but it worked last week.

Also, I went to get a “massage” yesterday from a former PT. It was basically more ART /stripping. She worked the most on my hip area. (Psoas and IT band) She said I was locked up pretty tight. She showed me some ways to self release too!! She was surprised at how little she hurt me but I enjoy the “pain” if that makes sense. I think it’s when everything hurts all of the time you can feel things release better.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

cts is a huge pain to deal with. if it fires up again, grab you one of the cts braces from the drug store. that has been one of the only things i have found that helps out a bit.

where you at kat?

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Sorry for lack of updates...
Sunday I did have a weird bout where my right hand started hurting me right along the base of my palm and radiating up my hands. I couldn’t close my fist completely or hardly use my hand.

Guessing it was carpal tunnel?? I’ve had issues in the past but more short/sharp pains and minor numbness. I avoided any exercises that hurt too much on chest and did more machine work bc I could leave my hand open.

Middle of the night/early Tuesday morning I was sleeping on my stomach and moved my arm from above my head to beside me and hand towards my lower back...felt and ice cold feeling run up my forearm/arm. Nerve must’ve released. I could squeeze my hand again! Lol

Took Tuesday off to avoid having to pull so early. But hand feels pretty much fine now. It was a good week of workouts minus the switch up. I trained chest Monday, back Wednesday, shoulders Thursday, and then legs today.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

1- it's hilarious you are like me and will go with single legs not to have to move as many plates when you dont have to. lol i do it when the gym is packed or a couple of the other big guys are training.

2- legs quivering at the end, means a great leg day that most likely you will pay for over the next few day. so a success across the board on that one

Haha yes! I’m ok with moving a couple but when you get to moving 8-10 it’s a little ridiculous! [emoji23]

I was sore Friday but surprisingly not very much Saturday. Just tight/stiff.

Great leg day! Bet you werehungry after that?

Most definitely!! Lol

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Yeah I love the way I feel in the mornings! Started giving it my hubby too. He has a lot of anxiety/stress issues. Hopefully it will help him too!

give him the v root alongside of a few grams of gaba. the gaba will relax his brain and aid in anxiety as well as rest. it will make you flush a bit and make your chest feel a little tight from the flushing but your body gets used to it. those two are my favorite compounds for rest and recovery

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

yeah, if you are extra jazzed up it may take a bit more. best thing about it no matter what is you dont feel like butt or hung over when you get up the next day. wired up relaxed and ready to go. love the stuff

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Oh it definitely does. So far I’ve been taking 1200 mg each night. The first night was magical. Other two...ehh. May up the dose a little.
