I think I'll take 2.6 grams pre workout and 2.6 grams post workout since it will be in 650 mg caps. Thanks, redspy.

I don't know. this what Dale and a handful of others keep saying. I'll start the CEE today and see how I respond. I do well with creatine mono compared to most. In the last few days of loading creatine I have only put on 1 lbs, which is disappointing. I'm now at 168 lbs. Usually, creatine helps me hold 4 lbs. of water and gives my muscles a real full look.

Today, I do legs/bis/forarms:

5 x 4-7; 195 lbs. Squats
5 x 4-7; 215 lbs. Leg Extensions
5 x 4-7; 150 lbs. Leg Curls
5 x 4-7; 270 lbs. Calf Raises (no Donkey Machine)
5 x 4-7; 65 lbs. Preacher Curls
5 x 4-7; 65 lbs. Standing Curls
5 x 4-7; 85 lbs. Forearm Curls

The last five weeks, I have been more tired throughout the day, and I think I know why. I have been taking 2 mg of finasteride in the morning. Yesterday, I took it before bed and got the best sleep I've had in a while. So, I'll take it at night from now on...

Good read, looking forward to the pics. So are you running creatine Post-cycle?


If sense were common, everyone would have it.

I'd like to run creatine post cycle, I was also considering running clen post cycle. I can't run them both because I get cramps so bad that when I yawn, my neck muscles tighten up bad or when I move my toes, those little muscles in my feet tighten. No fun at all. So, I've thought about either leaving the clen for later or running the clen for weeks 3 and 4 of pct to keep fat down while cals are high and cardio is low to non existent.

Ok. For Luke, I will raise the preacher curls to 75 lbs. I'll be happy to get 7 reps on my first set. I didn't really plan for this journal to be about my routine as much as the "cycle" aspects. We certainly all have week spots and strengths. I have many week spots because of recent injuries and surgery. Before I fucked up my leg, I could leg press 580 lbs for full ROM (knees to chest), and only weighed 155 lbs. Now, I can't do leg press at all because of my bad tendon. I can still deadlift about 360 lbs., though. I know this isn't impressive, but I don't look like I could lift shit. Hold on, I'll take a pic and post it. I'm not pumped and holding water so have mercy on me...

Remember that the Sust makes you retain water already so I would't expect the creatine to add it's usual water weight.

Good point, but it helped me gain 18 lbs in 18 days with the dbol

Ok, I just added two photos that I am not well pleased with. Next ones I take will be post workout. This is just poor posing. My point was that I am stronger than I appear when it comes to some exercises. I have a long way to go to reach my goals, though...

Only the few that know I am on cycle. I was a bit bigger a few months ago before my shoulder surgery. I lost about 15 lbs after the surgery, so I'm just getting back to where I was before in terms of size, and I am just passing where I was before in terms of strength.
