Thx for the input , and yes , Im really really happy about the job , Im starting next weed , probably tuesday or thursday , since I have an exam on wednesday.

For the creatine , well Ive been taking Thermolife CrE2 HCL ... I didnt do any loading zone , because this guy at the sport nutrition depot where I live told me I didnt have to with this stuff... Keep in mind , it isnt creatine monohydrate ... For me , its been working pretty well , I take a total of 8 pills a day , 2 times a day 4 pills . I take 4 in the morning and 4 30 minutes before my training. Its 4g total a day ... I know it isnt much , usually for creatine monohydrate its about 10g a day for a guy after the loading zone.

If you plan on using creatine monohydrate , I believe the usual loading zone is about 5-7 days and 15-20g a day (split this in 2 servings) . After that 5-7 days , you can go to a 5g a day like you said. But some people do not react to creatine monohydrate...

For me , CrE2 has been pretty affective up to now , well I think .Because , as I started my creatine cycle , I also ate much much more , so I dont know to what extend the effect of the creatine may be. Pretty much each training I go up either in weights or reps.

For example , last night I did my biceps , and here is the difference:

For my barbell Curl cable I did last night : 8x115 // 8x110 // 7x110
Compared to the time before : 9x110 // 7x110 // 7x105

On both times , those reps were the max I could pull out of my body ... And its been pretty much like this for every exercise since I started my creatine ...

Id recommend asking a few questions in the supplement section ... Especially to some other girls that might of done some creatine before , so they might be able to give you a better idea to whats better suited for a woman.

Good night all , Thx for stopping by kim.

Oki , today was a bit wack , yes wack . I woke up this morning , went to school , then came back home , ate , then went to the gym , came back home to eat then went off to my 2nd job. (I work at this pizza place as cook cuz Im paid under the table) And the boss likes me a lot , so its a fun place to work . Lol , I brought my own luch cuz I didnt want to eat some pizza (bad for my diet plan) and the boss said to me , tomorrow , dont bring food , Ill make you a pizza But I explained to him why I couldnt eat some pizza

Anyways , I still resepected my diet and my workout 2day ... Ouff , I rock dont I ?

Training :

Shoulders
Upright row :85x8 // 85x7 // 80x8 // 80x6
Shoulder press machine : 70x9 // 70x7 // 65x8

Eating plan of the day:
Meal1: Yes , the usual

Meal8: Before sleep shake with 1 cup of milk ... HmMmM

I pretty much respected what I usually do even though I was working and on the run all the day . And like I said , Im surprised by my self control , I usually love pizza and I didnt even take some when I can have some for free ! I have to keep that 2nd job , cuz I dont want to take out my stock in tahera corporation (diamond company ) I have about 2k in there and another 2k in another company . I was gonna sell a bit to pay off my visa (300$ on the damn thing) but now Im using this 2nd job to pay that off so I wont have to sell my stocks ! Yay , cuz I know for sure these companies will play off within a year or 2 , and when I say pay off , I mean pay off big

Supplement side note :
-I took my creatine before breakfast about 30 mins , as well as 10g of glutamine.
-I took another dose of creatine 30 mins before my workout as well as my 2nd dose of Glutamine
-Finaly , I took my last Glutamine dosage of 10g 30mins before my final meal .

Oki , Im super duper happy ! Here is the reason why .

17th august 2004
Weight : 194.7 pounds
Height : 5'11
Waist : 38.2 inches

Fat:
Tricep:18
Bicep:11
Back :19.2
Side : 26
Mollet(meat below the knee ) : 22.6

December 6 2004

Weight : 172.2 pounds
Height : 5'11
Waist : 33.5 inches

Fat:
Tricep:9
Bicep:6.8
Back :9.8
Side : 11.0
Mollet(meat below the knee ) : 13.0

The girl that gave me the test was so freaking impressed , lol . She was like , how the hell did you do it . I got my BMI but its on the test sheet which is back at the gym she just wrote those things cuz I asked her to , to bring back home. I think my BMI went from 28-29 to 22 now if I remember correctly. I gained a lot of musclle also , so looks like I lost probably like 30 pounds or so of fat ...

Im really happy with that , but now my next goal is 180 pounds ! My damn scale doesnt work properly , I need a new one.

Nice job on the results Pics???

BulkMeUp

Thats why i have 'trained' myself to train alone, and prefer it that way. No preassure to be at the gym at a certain time because someone will be waiting for me or wait for someone at the gym. I can exercise as i want, when i want and how i want.

Good luck with your training goals and gym job.

simbh

Jill : Thx and , no , no pictures yet ... Im waiting for my creatine cycle to be over , so it should be in about a week or so . For you 2nd question , I like em sweet and once in a while a bit wild

BulkMeUp: Thx man , ya I know its a pain to train with friends , its mostly for my chest that I love to have a spot , if its not chest , Ive manage to do it by myself. But heck , I have about 10 friends that train around the same time as I do , so that time I was just a bit bad lucky

Now , back to barbequeing at -10 celcius ... Woohoo , I hope the damn chicken is good though !

So you hunt your own poultry in the wild?!

j/k
I assume you do BB BP's. I always do DB BP's. works a lot better for me. Actually i have never really done BB BPs. If you hv a lot of friends who wo at the same time, then i guess it works for you. But try the DB BP's sometime . You will find they take a lot more out of you.

simbh

Ya , well , what I want to try is to do 2 weeks of bb bp and then 2 weeks of db bp ... Ill do the same with my incline db bp ... Thats way Ill be sure to work out the muscle in pretty much every way I can Only thing that I dont like about db for much chest is that I have to be very vigilant with my rightshoulder ... Cuz I dislocated it a while back , and its not as strong for some mouvements as it used to be.

Thx for the tip though.
