my supplements should be arriving in the next 2 days...
so im just gonna write the progress i have made so far, before i start taking the supplements so i can compare how much the supplements have helped me improve...
i can say that my legs have made the most progress out of all bodyparts, due to the lack in training them beforehand, squatting 154lb and my calves doing 300lb on calf raises....biceps are coming along, i'm currently curling 72lb....
my chest is taking me along time to improve, but still improving slowly, can bench 154lb which is good, shoulders are going great, finally broke the 100lb weight for the military press, triceps aren't going so good, i think i need a new workout
but overall, making alot of progress and hope to increase the weight in most exercises with the help of creatine and the weight gainer.

I would suggest taking any weight gainer very close to PWO. They tend to have a lot of sugar (and obviously calories), and this could be best utilized when your glycogen stores have been depleted from a workout. Otherwise those sugars are just gonna spike your insulin at a time when you are not prone to muscle growth and end up as fat.

27/7/05
started taking creatine today and also weight gainer
current weight 68.5kg (150.5lb)
will take creatine 4-5 times a days with 5g serving for the first 5 days,
then 2 times a days afterwards
i will be doing 7-8 week cycle
goal after this cycle would be to gain weight to about 73kg or anything higher
and also to increase the amount of weight i lift especially my bench press which seems to take a really long time for me.
my current bench is about 143lb, i would like to bench 155 or higher for 4 reps at the end of the 8 week cycle.. |

On creatine are you drinking a LOT more water? If not, that might be why you aren't feeling so great. It's recommended to drink at least 1-2 gallons a day on creatine.
