Nothing like a good rest day after killing in in the gym the past few days!!

Thanks Red! It is nice!

Thanks, everyone! Awww Kat! I decided to rest today also. I am soooo exhausted!!!! I took some ZMA last night to sleep but ended up waking up all night long. I miss my sleeping pills!! Just kidding! Those were the hardest thing to kick! :/

Aww get you some sleep! I did that a couple of nights too! No fun!

A Pop Tart will make you sleep like a baby !!

How long do you ladies plan on running the ECA for?

I plan on running it for 5-8 weeks. I think my body is starting to get use to it. My breathing isn't shallow anymore.

I'll be running it 5 days on and 2 days off with Benadryl on the off days to clear the receptors. Will continue that as long as needed or plans change. Hehe

Nice looking squats Kat.

Lovin the squat face. lol

 

[keithgeiling]

Couldn't help but watch the guy bust out quarter reps on pull up machine behind you on first squat vid. Lol

 

[packers6211]

I agree very good numbers on squats! I can't do squats at all unless on a hack squat machine. But I love those close bench presses to Kat!! I know what you mean on the shoes. I got some brooks adrenaline. And although they are comfortable for walking their not that durable for running. Plus I mess up and got the wrong wide version. I normally have to use 4e. Shoes make the world of difference in running world.

 

[Rocket3015]

Great looking squat and very impressive numbers, It is funny how we get our butt's kick in a workout, and the next day we go back for more ??

 

[BigRed1974]

Great work Kat!!
I would be laying around all day in pain if I tried to keep with you

Lol thank you...that's my "COME ON...you can do this" face! Funny thing was the 155 felt better than the 135!

Rofl! I didn't even notice until you guys pointed it out! Sadly his "trainer" was standing right beside him!

Thank you! The close bench is the oddest thing--I can be repping out and then BAM all of a sudden I'm stuck at the bottom or halfway up and can't finish. Should get a spotter so I can go heavier without fear of failing alone. I agree about the shoes and never would've thought it mattered until I started running more!

Thank you! Ues, we have an odd addiction to self torture...wouldn't want it any other way though! Lol

Lol No you wouldn't Red! You'd be running laps!

hahaha!! I was gonna say the same thing!!! Good lookin skwatz Kat!!!

Great session, Kat! You look smexxxxy with that bigo booty! You make me want to video my workouts. haha, maybe......

 

[Rocket3015]

I'm going to be that guy, but this information is incorrect. Diphenhydramine (benadryl) does not upregulate or improve beta-2 receptor function. You will need ketotifen for this purpose or a subsequent break.

Note: even though the stimulant effects might fade, the fat burning does not and remains constant.

I have not read the entire log yet, but I also recommend adding theanine to the EC stack to decrease jitters and make it a more pleasant experience.

The effects of L-theanine, caffeine and their combination on cognition and mood.
Haskell CF1, Kennedy DO, Milne AL, Wesnes KA, Scholey AB.

L-Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea. Despite the common consumption of L-theanine, predominantly in combination with caffeine in the form of tea, only one study to date has examined the cognitive effects of this substance alone, and none have examined its effects when combined with caffeine. The present randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, balanced crossover study investigated the acute cognitive and mood effects of L-theanine (250 mg), and caffeine (150 mg), in isolation and in combination. Salivary caffeine levels were co-monitored. L-Theanine increased 'headache' ratings and decreased correct serial seven subtractions. Caffeine led to faster digit vigilance reaction time, improved Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) accuracy and attenuated increases in self-reported 'mental fatigue'. In addition to improving RVIP accuracy and 'mental fatigue' ratings, the combination also led to faster simple reaction time, faster numeric working memory reaction time and improved sentence verification accuracy. 'Headache' and 'tired' ratings were reduced and 'alert' ratings increased. There was also a significant positive caffeine x L-theanine interaction on delayed word recognition reaction time. These results suggest that beverages containing L-theanine and caffeine may have a different pharmacological profile to those containing caffeine alone.
