Reply With QuoteIf your deloading for 2 weeks why not stick to the same exercises and then start a new program after those 2 weeks. Maybe keep all the major lifts the same like squat, deadlift, bench and military press so you can keep measuring your strength progress and change up the other exercises a bit, such as Good mornings replacing hamstring curls, CG bench or Dips replacing the tricep exercises and Chins instead of Lat pull downs!!!! Just a thought!

Im about to finish up a 8 week creatine cycle, doing an upper/lower split, every other day. Almost every excise is compound and I have made nice strength increases since day one.
My plan is to do 2 weeks no creatine and a 50% weight week then start back up again, same routine and everything. How sound is this?
I'm 25m 6'2 165 building muscle is my goal.
Currently taking
-whey protein shakes first thing when waking and post workout and whenever(EAS)
-BCAA's after breakfast and after lunch (ON caps)
-multivitamin 2 per meal (orange triad)
-fish oil with breakfast and dinner
-creatine hour before workout and mixed with protein shake post-workout. (cheap supplements)
Training routine
- exrx.net/Workouts/Workout2UL.html
Workout A: Upper Body
Chest (General) BB bench

Chest (Upper) BB incline bench

That was my plan: 2 weeks off creatine with the second week 50% power.
Good idea for swapping out exercises.
Anything I could add to my supplements?

8 weeks on creatine is not long enough IMO. Keep with creatine for another 8 weeks, do 16 weeks on creatine and 2 off if you want.

Why go off creatine?
Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.
Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.

I thought you were supposed to. So it keeps working and your body doesn't get used to it?
how about the training program?

You don't have to cycle off creatine. The routine looks ok.

It's like filling a cup with water -- the cup will never get 'used to' the water. You can always top it off.

That makes sense. now i guess i'll just have a deload week 10, then keep doing what im doing. Everything is working well. Gaining a solid pound about every 2 weeks, and putting up more weight almost every workout for at least one exercise. I guess
I'm guess im good on supplementation, just keeping what I have now in stock. Maybe getting some casein or something for overnight.
Been looking into pro hormones, but I don' think I'm at that level yet.
