<FONT COLOR="blue">No real need for the creatine, and you could lower your protein intake a little.</FONT c>
Also I was thinking of reducing my calories this week and do some intense cardio's probably 5 days of it followed by some ab work...
<FONT COLOR="blue">If you're taking a week off, why do cardio? When I take a week off I stay away from the gym.</FONT c>
I'm thinking that I can use this week to burn some excess body fat.
<FONT COLOR="blue">Hmmm...not sure you can lose much fat in one week. Losing fat should be a plan that takes around 12 weeks, not one week.</FONT c>
Is my thinking all screwed up?
<FONT COLOR="blue">Not really.
