I add a large container of tang into it for the suger and flavor.

Sounds like a good idea!

You like the results you get from that?

Fade, I have tried all that....nothing has worked like celltech though!

Posted by: Fade

Kuso let me start it again and I'll let you know. I've always stayed dehydrated (not on purpose) but I'm doing good with the water now. Maybe that's why I've never really noticed good result from creatine.

TP I'll give celltech a try.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Fade, some people, and I am one of them don't have ANY effects from creatine....but celltech has worked for me.

Kuso, that's about a buck a serving if you double up for 10g of creatine....not bad, but I'll stick with celltech for now!

You know, if W8 and DP saw all this talk about sugar they may have a heart attack!

When taking creatine ... do you find you get bigger or stronger or both? I find that I notice strenght increases, but no noticable difference in size (which is probably because I'm not eating enough)

Posted by: Twin Peak

Again, I notice little from taking creatine. When I take celltech I notice that my gains (strength and size) come quicker than they would otherwise. I can also "feel" the diiference, much the way many people report that doing with any creatine.

However, most of the time I have used it have been after a layoff so that it helps me get back quickly. For example that picture that Miss Ledix posted for me in this journal was after only 2 months of lifting after a 1 year layoff....and you can see that a I have most of my size back.

This should be interesting since I am near all time highs in strength and size and I am looking to pass that!. I am shooting for a 450 bench, a 350 military press, a 225 curl, a 500 squat and deadlift...by the end of February.

NT -- don't forget that usually strength gains come first and then size follows.

Posted by: Fade

I can already squat the 500.

Oh yeah....than why are we doing the workout with the same damn weights.....big whup, you get it in less sets....maybe you are training like a sissy boy!!!!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Well, that's a good thing, right?

I usually feel soreness the same day of a morning workout on the mornings I do legs. So that tells me that you had one great workout yesterday!

Posted by: Twin Peak

And my chest is killing me today! Usually for me it takes between 36-48 hours.....ouch! But yes, its a good thing!

Did back today and continued the 100 reps:

170 Pound Lat pulldowns:

22
15
15
13
10
10
8
7

Man that really hurt!

Then to finish off I did Barbell Rows (gotta get some freeweights in):

185 x 10
185 x 10
225 x 5

Then 100 reps of shrugs with 225:
30
25
25
20

Next time I'll up the weight.

Oh well, I won't be around much today, hope you all have a great day.

(Now maybe he'll try 315 for 100 reps....

)

Posted by: butterfly

Yeah, he needs to be lifting heavy to be ready for Nov!!!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Agreed! Don't let him wuss out when those squats get heavy!

Posted by: butterfly

I try to tell him that they don't count unless his ass hits the floor

Posted by: Twin Peak

My guess is that he will need better incentive....(hey man, I am trying...)

Posted by: Twin Peak

Also, no more talking about Fade's ass in my journal!

Posted by: butterfly

butt, butt... it's such a nice, firm yet squeezable ass!!!

Posted by: Twin Peak

not in my journal it isn't!

Posted by: butterfly

hehehe

Posted by: Stacey

Hey why does fade have to be ready for NOVEMBER?? whats in Nov? Is he doing that competition here in houston B?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Hey P! how are ya! What are you doing in here?

Ok. I am dying. CHest hurts, shoulders hurt, lats hurt, everything hurts (even my joints but we'll ignore that....)

Anyway this is good....I was complaining I haven't been sore in a while, must've needed to shake things up!

Did legs today....I'll post that in the leg journal, lata!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Why am I so hungry lately?

For the past week or so I have been starving, especially in the mornings.

For example, after my workout today I had:
7:00 50g whey
8:00 Protein bar (30g protein, 30g glycerine)
9:00 3/4 cup oats, 30g whey, 1 tsp pb

its now 12 and I am famished! Time to get some chicken and salad!

Posted by: Stacey

Can I not be in here sweetie? Just wanted to tell you HI!
I wonder why your sooo hungry today? wierd!!
Have a great lunch!

Posted by: Twin Peak

You may always visit!

Having lunch now....its a pot porrie (sp?) of stuff from a salad bar including calamri, chicken, tuna, spinach and salad....YUM!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Today will be my official last day in this thread (how do you go about cloing a thread anyway?) since I will be out of the office tomorrow and officially starting the bulking journal after the LONG weekend.

Well, I am still pretty sore although my chest is ALMOST back to normal, back is much better too but my shoulders (both the muscle and joints) still hurt. Also I just feel overall achey (tendons and ligaments -- sux getting old). Thankfully today was an off day! Legs, which I trained yesterday, feel fine. For somereason though this new workout is a killer when doing it, I don't get sore.

Maybe I need to do 200 reps? (YEAH RIGHT!)

You know how I have bee so hungry lately? Not so today. Instead I feel full and bloated and all I have had is a Smoothie Kind shake. The last week I have normally had three meals by now! Its most likely just that I didn't workout though and my metabolism is a bit sluggish (had a beer and 2 glasses of merlot last night with dinner -- at a Brazilian restaurant -- hey, at least I had the mariscada).

Later....

Posted by: Twin Peak

No, I'd lie it cloed please!

Ever the wise-ass!

Kus, can you please CLOSE this thread tomorrow, while I am away? But question, if you do is it still accessable? Archived? How does that work? I ask b/c it has my cutting program in here which I still get questions about and I don't want to retype every time!

Posted by: kuso

LOL....

If it`s closed, then thats all that happenes to it.....you can still access it etc, just cannot add any more posts to it...or bump it, though of course you can still link to it.

Still want it closed tomorrow?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yeah, please. But can you link it in my bulking journal? On only ask cuz I'm a spaz with this stuff! Hey, while your at it could you also link my pics in there since they are essentially my "before" pics? I know I am asking a lot but, YOU DA MAN! Thanks Kus!

ONLY because you know when to kiss ass

Posted by: Stacey

Hi TP!

Hope your having a greeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat day!

Posted by: kuso

Jeez....just ignore me eh Princess?

Morning

Posted by: Miss LeDix

I am LOL right now...at all the requests that TP is asking kuso. As the mod, the only thing that kuso is doing that you cannot do yourself in close the thread. As far as the links, you can do that yourself. In theory anyway.

Miss P, haven`t you noticed by his whimpy workouts that he`s basically just a lazy bastard

j/k

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yup its pure laziness! Sis, I know that IN THEORY I can do those things, isn't that obvious from my request? Also, in actuality I could probably do it as well, its just that it would take me like 3 hours and besides, I couldn't do that nice collagy-thingy that Kuso did!

But thanks for pointing out what a moron I am!

Posted by: kuso

Posted by: Twin Peak

Glad you are enjoying this kus...

and besides ....SIS....with all the time I spend giving free around here AREN'T I allowed to ask for a little assistance one and a while ....geez!

(Kus, do you think she is taking me seriously now and wondering if I am really upset?)

Posted by: Stacey

OOOPS! Sorry Kuso!! HI BABE!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

I never called you a moron. I just thought it was funny that you were asking kuso to do all these things for you.

I'm glad it all got taken care of. Now,when is this thread going to get closed??

Posted by: Twin Peak

Tomorrow.

Posted by: butterfly

KUSO!!!!

You forgot to close this thread!!!

Posted by: Twin Peak

TOMORROW!

Posted by: butterfly

TOMORROW????

Are you sure???

Posted by: Twin Peak

It is my thread....

Posted by: butterfly

You're such a bully...

Posted by: kuso

Well......it`s tomorrow here now......I`ll close it up in an hour or so unless I hear otherwise

Posted by: Twin Peak

Wait....

Posted by: kuso

for what?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Okay, last post in here!

Did arms this morning. I was planning on doing the 100 rep thing I have been doing all week with barbell curls and french presses (skullcrusher, nosebreakers...)

BUT MY BIS were killing me. Actually it was really my left bi, and actually after I warmed up I was able to localize it to my left brachialis. No idea why it hurt but I couldn't do straigh bar curls. I was still able to get a good pump from dumbbells and cambered bar.

I was able to do 100 reps with french presses:

65 pounds (I know...light) by:

25
25
20
15
15

Then I did reverse pressdowns. Now I get to rest for 3 days and then the serious weights start!

I am out today so everyone have a great holiday weekend!

Posted by: Twin Peak

OKay, close please!

Posted by: kuso

Done
