Re: Love2liftkat's training log

that v root should make you feel better when you wake up more so than the flex does. just have to play around to find the sweet spot on how much you need.

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.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

I have actually thought about that! Boss even gave me a ladies name. I just keep forgetting to schedule an appointment when I’m on that side of town. I’ve heard how much it can help!

Got the valerian root in today. Will take some tonight. I did take 5mg of flexeril before bed twice over the weekend and it seemed to relieve it a little.



Thank you! Not sure how I got it. They think it’s possibly how that hip is formed it just pinched the labrum...or from my research it could be from a long term issue with hips being out of alignment and muscular imbalance. I started having symptoms about 1 1/2 years ago but didn’t realize figure it out until about 10-12 months ago.

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

on the neck pain and tension head aches have you thought about or tried a combo of graston/iastm and or dry needling? that just popped into my mind this am. those things are awesome. and with the valarine i do right around 1500mg about 20 mins before bed. in deep prep mode i will do a combo of v root gaba and melatonin. the gaba will relax your mind and cns alongside of the v root. 2-3g to start with on the gaba because it makes you flush and i will work up to about 6g

Thanks for posting the vid of kneeling squats, I had no idea what these were!

I'm new around here, so maybe the regulars know already, but you mentioned your torn hip labrum and another injury; how did you get hurt, and how long ago?

Great log! Keep up the intense work!

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

Thank you! I’ll try that! I figured it was cns related. I have chronic neck pain as it is. Told it’s “fibromyalgia”...but this is definitely much worse! I’ve been using some essential oils for pain. It helps a little momentarily.

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
