Careful with HCL supplementation, I did it for a while but got scared off by what I’ve read from smarter people than me. Your body’s HCL is tightly regulated, it will stop producing as much when you take it exogenously, and you’ll be back at square one with digestion problems, with the added bonus that your body forgot how to make it on its own.

Generally HCL is better for older (age 40 people) who are actually HCL deficient. Have you tried everything else? Quality (expensive) probiotics, various enzymes, removing dairy/gluten? I would exhaust all options before resorting to HCL.

I’ve almost completely eliminated gluten from my diet and it’s helped a ton. Not the easiest thing to do but it is possible.

YEAH, I was one paleo for at least a year.

I was on low carb paleo and the fats bugged me I think. I was on low fat moderate carb paleo (IE sometimes sweet poatoes, yay!) and I lost all my sex drive/my hair started to fall out/I was a zombie.
I was on high-ish carb, medium fat paleo and I still felt like shit.
I was on eat fewer meals/give your body eating breaks to help with digestion paleo and I still farted all day long.
I haven’t been able to eat dairy without crapping my pants/getting 100 pimples since I was like 18 so dairy is a no go. AND DAMN YOU DAIRY DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AMAZING YOUR CHEESE TASTES, AHHHHHHUhg!

I did some eliminate shit to see what bugs you type dealio, and I came to the conclusion that everything bugs me.
I mean that, too. Dairy, nightshades, carbs, fat, broccoli…FAWK. I don’t know. I have tried at least 5 different kinds of enzymes and none of them did anything and they ended up costing me a lot of money.
Even simple shit like circicumin or however you spell it, papya extract, yadda yadda.
All day I’m fartin’/not digestin/all mornin’ I’m crappin’/not digestin’.
Yesterday was like the first day ever I didn’t feel like a nasty pile of crap, Lol. I JUST WANT A FART FREE WEEK.

ALso, not yelling/upset with you at all. Just kinda irritated that I have all these issues. Actually, for a really long time I thought it was normal to be so farty/toilet-y. I just reecently realized HEY! Life doesn’t have to be like this?!? I dunno.

Maybe it’s my anxiety. I know if I get some sudden panic attack I have to go crap.

UMM YA.
^^I hope my post doesn’t take away from the sexiness of my log HAHAH

I have a nice bum.

765

You’re a disgusting little thing.

766

What are you doing for bench this cycle?

767

you ever tried a prebiotic? Usually they come in powder, well mine did anyway and after youve done a cycle of probiotics you take this shit to feed the digestive enzymes that your body creates, makes it more effective or whatever.

768

Spockie!!!
I didn’t know you had a log over here. Just spent 20 minutes or so getting caught up. Keep killing it girl <— see what I did there.

I know nothing of HCL other than Poliquin seems to be a fan. But I did get some digestive enzymes from the local supp store and they DO make a difference. Take 20-30 minutes before eating.

And you do have a nice bum.

769

K going to attempt this multi-quote thing, don’t laugh if I fuck it up completely…

I am just running smolov JR again even though you’re not supposed to. I just like it when my SQ and BP are on matching cycles. They go so well together…

Hmm, never heard of this. Shouldn’t it be called a post biotic, wakka wakka.
Should I be taking Glutamine or whatever even though it’s in my protien powder?

AWW YAY! I am so happy that you found my log again !

K friends, I was a bad little girl today… I started my smolov intense cycle early because I was anxious, and I make spurr of the moment decisions when my brain is in that state.
Ah well, worked out well. Had a great workout today!

Squats
95 x 5
135 x 3
150 x 4
170 x 3 sets of 4
170 x 5

All good. I was worried with all my light squattin’ I’d forget how to semi heavy squat. NOPE. Weight was in heels, and I found a spot on the wall to look up at like this learning how to squat video told me to do.

I don’t know exactly what a V handle grip is, but maybe that’s the attachment I used today on the lat pull down thingie.

It was a wide one. SO like, wide maybe v handle grip pull down
I did this thing that I think that new log starter strong person did where he worked up to a 12 rep max so I did 5 x 12 and my max was the pin set at 90, mmkay.

um straight bar bi curls SS with hammer curls
10/10
10/10
10/10
10

Sometimes some wide grip, sometimes some normal grip for that there straight bar thing… Uh, ya…

face pulls 4 x 15 stupid guy who does curls then dances between sets was near me so my heart rate was wayyy up unnessessarly for this.
I don’t know how to spell unnessessarly
unnesesairly
unessesairly
unesesarly FUCK

OH uh rest pause wide grip lat pull down x 4 sets

yeah, think that’s all. Felt very productive. Good day.

Life news :

My scrap book is almost finished, Lol. I can’t wait to show my kid. I need to buy more stickers though so I can stick the word happy and shit around some of the pictures and what not. HAHA

Digestion news:

FUCK I am so retarded. I have known for so long dairy does nasty nasty things to me. UHH HELLO? WHEY/CASIEN PROTIEN POWDER??? You fuck wit, maybe that’s why i spend all morning in the crapper?
I dunno.
Going to buy new stuff today.

BYE

771

Expect to spend an arm and a leg for something other the whey/Casien

772

Hate you

Thiiiiiiiiiisss much

773

Ah i dont know what glutamine does, wouldnt waste money on unnecessary things.

Another thing i forgot to mention is apple cyder vinigar (ACV). Dont buy the supermarket brand, try finding 100% organic, unfiltered preferably. It basically does a similar thing to preboitic as it feeds your digestive enzymes and also helps your body get alkaline. Lemons do the same thing. Having an alkaline body is epic. You feel a million times and disease/infection cant live in an alkaline state - probably the greatest benefit. If you have an unbalanced pH then there is no way your going to be digesting food properly. ACV has been used for thousands of years.

Personally id try ACV 3x a day (just pour some in water) and a squeezed lemon in some water before spending extra money on other stuff.

PS im not a doctor or nutritionist or anything, im just going off info that ive gotten from a nutritionist/naturotherapst and personal experince. I cannot spell either.

774

You my dear are wound very tight :stuck_out_tongue: lol but in a good way. Nice work! I would be scared of dancing dude to!

that leg raise static hold thinger whatevers 2 x 15

K cool. I am enjoying my accessory lately. I totally forgot I could get strong and work at setting Pr’s for that shit too. I have been looking at my accessory only from a recovery stand point as of late, time to KILL IT>…

Some guy came up to me and was all like “I was watching you and I noticed, wow, you’ve really gotten big”. As he starts pointing to various locations on his arms indicating that my arms are big.
I said
“Uhh, thanks? I don’t know if that’s a compliment or an insult”

He said
“well, isn’t that what you’re trying to do?”
I was all
“Um, I just care about getting stronger, I am not trying to be a fat ass.”

Then he walked away.
Awkward.
Ya so end story.

Life news:
Um
my bus driver friend commented on one of my facebook status’. Does that count as news? LOl.

Digestion news:
I know diary is out, and now I am thinking any type of nut/nut butter is not my friend. I WILL SOLVE THIS!!
GIving my nut butter to my mother even though it pains me. So delicious…
But not worth it.
Tomorrow I am going to see if eggs bother me. Stay tuned!

PEACE

776

K today’s workout was hard because I got 30 minutes less sleep than normal and I felt totally exhausted, ha-ha. Seriously, I woke up at 5:22am instead of 5:52 and it threw me for a loop. My core also felt tired so maybe I should only do ab work 3 times a week, hmmMmM?

Squats
125 x 3
140 x 3
160 x 4
180 x 3
180 x 3
180 x 3
170 x 5
170 x 5

With placing the bar a little higher I am having a hard time getting to stay perfectly in place. Any tips on this?

Good mornings
85 x 4 sets of 8

leg extensions drop set x 5 sets

facepulls 2 x 25

Okay in more exciting news I AM GOING TO SIGN UP FOR A MEET, WOOT!

Redirecting... <— that one to be exact.

It’s pretty far away so I feel like I have plenty of time to read over rules/get my shit sorted.

The only thing I am really anxious about is squatting, I dunno. If the bar moves slightly, will I get red lighted? Knee sleeves, not allowed? If my form is off, but I lift the weight, do I get red lighted? What if I can’t find a spot on the wall to look at when i go down into the hole? Will I die?
Flat footed benching, must I do that now?

SO MANY QUESTIONS, but I like having a direction.
I think I want a 600 total. I don’t care which weight class, and I don’t care which lifts are what to get me to that 600, but it seems like a stress-free, deecent goal.

UMM YA! K cool.

777

I don’t know why, but Canada always seems like a cool place to be

778

A meet?
Well, isn’t this going to be exciting!

Are you getting a snazzy singlet or just plain black?
My vote is for something a little funkadelic.

OMG! I am wayyy to busy stressing about my squat to think about this yet, LOL!

Can I design something that says “I heart chuck V” on it somewheres? OR would that disqualify me? haha
