Anyways, in light of my ankle feeling weak again I have reset both squats and deadlifts about 30 lbs lighter and have decided to start doing the ankle workout at least once a day instead of twice a week. Sorry that I post about my ankle all the time here but I like to get my ideas out here so that if I'm doing something stupid or counter-productive one of you guys can tell me so. | ||

Not sure when I'm gonna have time to read it but I'm really interested to learn some of the anatomy behind the lifts.

Even their supplement advice is solid. Will watch some more. Afaik natural maximum for muscle synthesis is like half a pound per week. With roids a pound a week. | ||

This means that about 2-3 hours pass between making the shake and drinking it. Is this bad? i don't think it matters much imo. it might have some effect on the breakdown if you drink it the day after but 2-3 hours doesn't change it much. If you are really worried about it you could bring the creatine and a spoon with you and then add it after the workout. | ||

Q: Does creatine degrade after being in water for a while? I always thought that you only had like 5-10 minutes to drink it before it breaks its bond…and become creatinine. A: Oh heavens no, monohydrate is stable for a few weeks. Obviously no scientific source but I would imagine he's done his research. | ||

Yeah they sound like they know what theyr'e talking about for the most part, i think they're underestimating beginner gains and overstating how hard it is to put on mass. I'm AT LEAST 30 pounds more muscle than i was at this time 3 years ago. And i haven't even added weight in the last 1.5 years, mostly recomposition. | ||

)I started at 64kg and am now 82kg, in about 2 1/2 years, but i was a twig before. What i just don't like is when people say "i put on 20 pounds pure muscle in the first two months!", it just screws with the heads of other beginners. | ||

I find it extremely hard to get a good feeling of what should be going on and what should not be happening in the bench press. It ain't hard right now, but still afraid of stalling in the future if technique eludes me further. Squat 6 sets actually, but the first set felt strange and I decided to do an extra to get the form right. 5 sets of 80kg squats felt heavy, because it's was my SL PR. I feel confident in continuing the program. Barbell rows felt okay and I mainly focus on getting the correct upper arch and then just pulling. Lot less technical than the PC. So far so good. Don't really understand the entire concept of fitocracy, but it's a nice way to log your own performance. I read a book named "The Game" the other day and it Tom Cruise saying that the only person he ever competed with was himself. An important lesson to learn in the gym I'd say. You can stand in the gym all day hating yourself for being fattier, weaker or uglier than the next guy. In the end you gotta remember this is you fighting for your own glory. Now I am gonna ditch the fuckaroundiditis that has been plaguing my lifting. | ||
