Thanks for your insight Clare very helpful, my thoughts were the same as yours regarding being in the wrong state to digest food post workout however I build up a big appetite when I train for the most part therefore it is difficult to withstand eating as soon as I can.

I agree with what Clare has mentioned especially with the unwind post training

Another couple things you could look at is –

Are you having too much caffeine prior to your sessions?

And maybe trial using something a bit easier to digest pre workout other than oats something like cream of rice or just rice

Cream of Rice, Whey Isolate and berries is a perfect, fast and easy digesting pre or post workout meal.

Thanks for you response

I do have COR for my pre, with isolate, PB, honey, banana and tried it for post workout too with just isolate and berries. I’ve just got to the point where after gym it’s feels effort to eating anything and just feel like downing something now, I do have HBCD in my intra as well[/quote]
Hey Tom – I think Clare is meaning for you to do a shake with your cream of rice etc – if you pop it in a blender before you go and then put it into a shaker to take with you to the gym means you do have to eat anything 🙂

Hey Nathan – I’d get your bloods tested first to see what they are saying.

Is it that your nipples had started to get sensitive as to why you stopped your cycle after one week? Was this your first cycle? Did you have anything else as well as the test running?

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

Hey All

Hope you’ve had a nice Monday.

Today was leg day – a nice strong session in the gym, my knees are feeling much better after a couple weeks of them feeling shit so that’s positive

started a 6 weeks primo cycle today will come off mid way through prep and use it again at the last stint of this 22 week prep.

Body weight has moved nice – got s but stagnant mid week last week, but I got my period and that’s why, I don’t see my body weight climb around my cycle but I see it hold and then drop done after which has happened. I mean we know the periods won’t stay through prep, but happy that it retuned this offseason and that it was quite regular

What did you eat prior to training

Any carbs during.

Did you do anything different

No no carbs just had 1 meal stuck for time pre-made chicken and veg[/quote]
I would probably aim to keep come carbs pre training to help this not happen again – if you’re pressed for time a shake takes 2 seconds to make 🙂

Hope you’ve all had a good Sunday.

Was a rest day here

I mean it could be all these are definitely signs – I tend to find I get really sweaty when having a hypo (they don’t happen very often to me).

Most you can ride out with sitting and drinking some water.

Are you using any insulin at the moment? And are you in a diet phase right now?

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

[Meg]

Hope you’ve all had a nice start to the weekend,

Today is a non check in day so allows me to catch up on other admin work

Also gave both dogs a shower as they were smelly!

And had a great pull session, the last time I did this session I did it with Baxter and he gave me a few pointers with my set up and seat heights that have helped a whole lot.

Have a great evening everyone

Todays session was:

Standing Y raise
Atlantis shoulder press
DB incline press
Gym lecco flat press –
Tricep push downs
Prime later raises.

This is the shorter of my 2 push sessions, but 4 sets of the prime lateral using the resistance adaptions is a killer
