You may want to try taking a amino acid supp about halfway through your workout. Before I started doing this I would always run out of gas towards the end of my w/o, sometimes even having a low blood sugar event requiring a high amount of fast carbs to recover from it. I would find myself ending my w/o early. Now I take a pre w/o before getting to the gym and take the amino acids after about half an hr. I find I have way more energy to the point where I ad lifts to my w/o. And no more low blood sugar episodes.Blood pressure has been borderline for years, especially now that they changed the ranges that define the levels of 'tension. The pessimist in me believes they did so more people would be classified as hypertensive and thus be put on lifelong medication. Love that recurring revenue.
Anyway. No GH.
Carbs around 200g a day. I could try decreasing those. I was actually up around 250-275g carbs a day and didn't seem to have any worse of an issue but redistributed macro's a few months ago to try and restart some fat loss, which seemed to help. Definitely didn't hurt. I am prone to running into fuel issues during workouts if I do not get enough carbs, though.
Potassium should be alright. I take a 99mg tablet three times a day with meals. However, I just looked at the DV for that, and even 300mg is pathetic. My diet is locked down, but that means I also eat a lot of the same stuff on repeat, so I could have a deficiency. I don't track micro's. I'll double Potassium as a quick and easy experiment. Maybe a potassium chloride enema?
I did order some Dandelion Root, too, though.
When I was in the hospital for my by-pass, I had low potassium to the point they would not let me go home until it was in range. While I was in ICU they would give me a lemony drink that was very easy to drink. However, when I got put in a reg. room, they gave me an orange drink that burned like napalm! I couldn't get past a couple of sips. So they decided to drip solution through one of my ports that burned so bad I had them take it off within minutes. The lemony drink was available only to peeps in ICU. There pharmacy SUCKED!!!! Finally I told them they could either give me the lemony drink or I'd be staying for awhile. They gave in. They discharged me with a new BP med., Losartin, it has potassium in it or raises potassium somehow. It must be a good med. cause my potassium levels have been fine since and my BP also. Considering how bad potassium burns, you may want to double think an enema. Unless your into that kinda shit! Sorry so long but hopefully helpful?
