Okay..... I start today the Monday workout. It's time for a change anyway. I'm about as old school as it gets.

If I don't post tomorrow you know it killed me. Remember me fondly.......

I did my Wed and Friday workouts. They left me good and tired, but I think they'll do even more once I figure out the proper weights. Plus, having such a different routine makes me look forward to working out.

Also, as an update, I weighed in a 207 lbs and 7.2% bf on Wed. On Friday, same scale, same time of day, I weighed 211 lbs. My body mystifies me sometimes.

Weight doesn't surprise me.

I gained close to 5 pounds my first weeks and then 1.5-2 pounds/week after that.

But we're talking 4 lbs in 48 hours after only 1 workout. Yes, I increased my diet and started drinking my shakes again. Yes, I started drinking more water (not much though). But I'm not on D-Bol or anything like that to cause a huge increase in water retention. I was week 2 of my Clomid therapy last week so maybe my natural test is picking back up. Maybe I just shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm starting the Creatine again. I've been off for a few months.
Yea or Nay?

Fro, that's alot of weight! I was planning on cutting in April.
But I'm going to start today....I would really be interested in our progress. Let's keep up.

Okay, I did the Monday workout last night and oh baby was it good.
Just the kick in the ass I needed. My shoulders and hams are already sore......
I am so damn hungry! We'll see how Wednesday fairs....

Thanks Corn for the help......

DO the creatine, nbut don't load it.

Do 10 grams per day spread over two servings.

GLad to hear the program is working well for you.

I take off for vacation for a week and miss a great discussion!I've been doing a full body routine for the past 8 weeks and have been getting great results from it.Bill Starr still advocates full body routines for strength and development in his writing for Ironman.If anyone is interested in full body routines that work well, that is one place to look.His programs are all simple yet effective and given that he was once an olympic and power lifter, not to mention a strength and conditioning coach, says alot.Since going back to the full body routines, my strength has shot up fairly quickly.One thing I've noticed that makes them more effective, is to employ the heavy-light-medium system.This has helped prevent me from burning out when training the muscle groups three times per week.
