Welcome! Glad you're here! Thank you! It was the furthest we've ever gone and truthfully only the second one we've ever really taken other than a weekend trip! We are trying to make it a point to force vacations at least once a year because time is precious and disappears quickly!! You should take one- even if it's a day trip or a stay-cation!

We took a trip up north, a day trip. It was really nice. But I could use the beach... [emoji22]

It's doable, just too much going on right now :)
Re: Love2liftkat's training log
Man, I was pumped and excited to get back into the gym Monday! My pull day went well on Monday but my push day today was frustrating. I am having a lot of trouble with my joints. I had mentioned this in another thread a couple of weeks ago. My hands, feet, and knees are mostly where I'm feeling the discomfort. My knees hurt to the point of making it very difficult to do any leg work. I wrapped my knees this morning as I was warming up on squats. They felt ok until I got to 135. [emoji35] Very frustrated, I tried a couple of other exercises with no luck. Went on to bench/shoulder work. That part went well! Finished up with ab work and cardio. I rode the bike for cardio hoping that would give my legs some work without bothering my knees.

great to see you back kat. couple of suggestions for you: 1-controlled labs orange triad. it's cheap and it works miracles. 2-check your fat intake accurately. if your healthy fat intake is too low it could be drying out your joints a bit and causing them to get angry at you 3- screaming hot toast cream and or artic balm on your joints. you may smell like an old person but it will keep the area warm and the blood flowing. 4- you may need some additional time off. those are the thoughts and suggestions that pop into my head for you

Sorry you're having joint pain. I know it, I get it too sometimes; mostly when I'm dehydrated and lacking healthy fats in the diet (omegas, etc).
Don't let it get you down. Looks like you had a good vacay, get afterrr it!

Thanks guys! It is possible I let my fats get down too low. They have been in the 40's or under most days. I have been taking multi's and fish oils. I take the medivin packs. I am also taking transform forged joint repair supplement. I was able to squat 3 sets of 135x5 last Friday. Nothing spectacular but it felt good to finally put a plate back on there. Things are going well this week. Just playing it smart with my joints. Finally got some knee sleeve to see if that will help keep them warm and more comfortable. Hands/wrist felt good enough for some push press' and bench this morning!
Re: Love2liftkat's training log
Forgot to add I've been sticking to cycling for my cardio. I attempted to jog Tuesday but it killed my knees so I stopped that. Just trying to keep adjusting and pushing forward without letting it effect me.

I got bad knees too. Did crossfit for awhile and OLY lifting but my body couldn't hang. Back to the good old bodybuilding (it's where I belong anyhow).
I really like the stairs for cardio but I gotta start running again... :/

i know your forged stuff is from your guys companies and it probably is a really good supp but i will tell you this: i have tried almost every joint support supp under the sun and nothing has worked as well for me as the orange triad has. i can tell a huge difference when i switch to another company or even if i miss a dose. give it a try if you can, it makes all the difference in the world for everyone i have known to use it
Re: Love2liftkat's training log
I've tried orange triad back in the day.. Guns isn't BS'ing ya, guy is telling it like it is
