Played a short game of tennis with Mike. Decent cardio, good for footwork.
Diet has been horrible since work started.
Fitness is through the damn roof. I blame it on the creatine,
however the question is if it's the actual creatine that is causing it,
the fact that creatine leads me to drink more water so that I'm finally
properly hydrated, psychological effects of knowing I'm "on creatine",
finally being conscious of the fact that I have to push myself as hard
as possible to get results, or a combination of all factors.
WOW!!!! You never ever cease to amaze me!!! Your cardio and fitness level appear to be through the roof, and the pushup numbers are really phenomenal. I think your success is due to combination of many psychological and physiological factos. Whatever it is that has gotten you this far is truly remarkable. I am so proud of you. You really inspire me to push myself harder with my own work out routine and to further enhance my own cardio lever. Keep up all your hard work!!! Take care. ~aloha~
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, sounds like creatine worked for you. Strangely enough, for your cardio. How's your lifting as a result of it?
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily strange for the cardio. Cardio is one of the many areas that benefits from it.I haven't noticed anything great in my lifts. It's really just been push-ups and cardio.
ReplyDeleteI mean it's strange because I've always heard from people at school how great it is for lifting, and never anything about cardio
ReplyDeleteYeah, the difference is most people use it on a bodybuilding routine, where the rest period is so short between sets that the benefit of creatine would be really noticable. With powerlifting, since there's so much rest between sets, it's hard to tell.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm on a powerlifting routine with little to no cardio, I should probably go without it, it sounds like
ReplyDeleteMeh, you do a bit of cardio from what I've seen.I say by a small amount and try a cycle, just to see if it works for you. I got mine for like $10 at Vitamen World. 'sides, aren't you also doing endurance stuff? This stuff seems to kick ass for it.
ReplyDeletehey..i was just wondering if u do any type of training to harden ur knuckles. cause i need to get mine harder.
ReplyDeletepeace
Heh, glad you enjoyed playing tennis. We'll definitely get together and play again. I still think you could become a good player if you worked on it, but i'm only going to half heartedly try to get you to enjoy the sport as much as myself . It might be a combination of things as to whether its psychological or not. The brain can do some interesting things when it thinks one thing yet it is experiencing another. Kinda like when taking asprin, sometimes it feels like its just knowing that i took it that makes headaches go away.
ReplyDeleteI try to cut back, but you're right, some of my hobbies are cardio without me even realizing it. What a drag.
ReplyDeleteI am doing endurance training, too. Hadn't thought of that. I didn't think you could get the stuff for $10, either. I guess I assumed they're all like the $40 of Cell-Tech that GNC has (it's a tiny case, too)
Yeah, I got a better price at vitamen world than GNC.Mighta been $15, but either way it was something I wasn't gonna lose sleep on.Knuckle hardening: I hit the heavybag bareknuckle. Otherwise, nope.Mike: If nothing else, I'm always game for more cardio, hehe.
