    Today:

    Legs


    No need to post the sets. Same as usual except I change the order of hitting calve before Hams on the Ham raise.

    Hit the hams very light b/c of the recent injury. The good news is that I feel fine. It's still a tight deep inside when trying to do Standing Ham stretches.

    I'll post a short news report later of a woman who was told to cover up at planet fitness for being "too fit. " No joke.

    The noisy one is Arnold in the 1970s.

    Please give me some credit for being able to work that out for myself from watching the video and reading the title.

    Why do you use creatine? What does it do for you?

    Why?

    B/c it works: more strength, more reps.

    Water retension means you "look bigger" but you ARE bigger b/c of the water.

    In the 90s when I was younger I had no problems with Creatine. When I started it again 5 years ago I got very bloated and had gastro-intestinal problems.

    So, I'm taking the risk again.

    But...I will only take a 1/2 teaspoon per day in the morning in warm water (for better absorbtion) and a 1/2 teaspoon should be just under 3 grams.

    If it does not work, OK, I'm done with Creatine. But I'll give it a go again.

    I tried it briefly about 25 years ago. I didn't feel it gave me any positive benefits so I stopped. All I got was muscle cramp from it, perhaps because of excess water. I sometimes get the same if I drink an electrolyte drink before running.

    Yes, you have to increase your water intake while on Creatine.

    For me it helped, but I think my goals may have been different than yours. I wanted (and still want) to increase strength to a degree to complete more reps (and to a lesser extent more weight when I change my routine to go higher weight and less reps.

    There have been numerous valid studies conducted and it effective and safe (for most folks).

    As noted, I had bloated problems last time I tried it.

    I took 1/2 a teaspoon about an hour ago in warm water. That's about 3.5 grams, maybe 4.

    I'll hit the gym in about 45 min to an hour.

    I'll how it works this go around.

    Today: Chest & Triceps


    Chest:

    Barbell incline press X 5 for 55 reps - will increase weight and reps next week

    DB bench press X 2 for 20 reps


    Triceps:

    Total reps: 167



    Exercises:

    Cable bar pushdown

    Y-rope overhead pull

    Angle iron push down

    Cable kickback

    Standing one-arm cable handle push down

    Y-rope cable push down

    cable bar push down to finish




    Pre & Post meals, basically the same.


    Creatine cycle started:


    I had 1/2 teaspoon of Creatine Monohydrate and 1 1/2 hours or so before the workout. No bloating. Felt good.

    Therefore, I had another 1/2 teaspoon after my post workout meal.

    An even teaspoon is 3 grams each, for a total of six grams.

    Today I started Creatine again. I don't not believe in the "loading phase" and studies says it doesn't help and it's marketing BS in order for you to use more product.

    When you take creatine make sure to ad it to warm water and stir it thoroughly until it dissolves and you can can't see it.

    Undissolved Creating does NOT get absorbed by your body.


    *I do not do many exercises or reps for chest b/c (as I think I noted) I am getting a sagging chest downward and to the sides. Genetics, and body comp. I don't do flies much anymore because it looks go when you have shirt on but awful without a shirt on. Gravity.

    Today: Shoulders.


    A little variation is exercises and weight variation on one exercise:


    1. Sitting and standing DB Lat Raises = 72 reps.

    Started with 15 lbs X 2, 25 lbs. X 2 15, lbs. X 1, 20 lbs X 2

    *changing the weight up.


    2. Standing 3/4 cable Upright Row X 5.

    *these are not standing up straight cable Upright Rows but standing further back from the weight stack/cable, starting at about the knees and pulling up and back.

    3. Standing straight upright cable rows X 2

    4. barbell Shrugs about 60 reps and DB shrugs to a total 212 reps for combined BB/DB total.

    5. Plate Raise - full motion - all the way up and down. This also hits your lower traps.


    Not done: no farmer's walk, and no rear delt exercises today.

    I did squats, sit ups, press ups, crunches, dumbell curls, shoulder raises, tricep thingies and lat pulls.

    Watch your back, Arnold. I'm a-comin'.

    How did you manage that? I'd be really surprised if it was true.

    OK, I had some minute carbs from about 3-4 string beans and a little cabbage, less than a 10th of a cup. So yes, I did have some carbs.

    I should have clarified.

    I also stopped Creatine as my 2 doses bloated slowly over time.

    I've dropped 2 kilos (of water weight)

    I now know I cannot take ANY creatine!


    My body cannot handle it.

    I'll kill it, pump, and also reduce my pre and post workout carb input. My body just can't handle it.

    So, basically, your 'retort' amounts to: 'I know you are you said you are...'.

    That's shit even by your usual incredibly shit standards.

    Yeah we both know that's about as far from the reality as it's possible to get.

    Wow. What a photo, what a hunk. It is such good exercise looking at that image. It has really enlarged and firmed up my groin muscles. Thanks Gramps.

    Today: Shoulders.


    No need to a detailed split report.

    Same as before, but I added 1 new exercise and did not do, Farmer's Carry today (my grip was shot by the time I was finished with BB and DB shrugs.

    The new exercise I added was:

    Cable-shrug-pull back-turn for Traps.


    You stand 3 feet form the cable which is on the ground with a clasp. One arm movement at a time.

    You shrug, but straight up and down, but at a 3/4 angle. Keep your arm as straight as possible. When you shrug it as far as you can, keep your arm as straigt as possible and turn you trap/shoulder/body back around more.

    You will feel this hitting your traps.

    Today:

    Chest & Triceps.


    Mostly the same routine.

    Reps for Triceps in total = 132

    After my post workout meal (got hungry for rice and had 1 1/2 cups....ah too much.....I waited 60 minutes and went on a medium paced walk for 44 minutes. I didn't check the heart beat more than 5 seconds, but knew I was over 120 HBP.
