Training Log: Enty 119
Finally feeling creatine effects in all manner of physical
activity. Have broken past all platueaus on all lifts. Feel
really strong. I think I will make creatine a regular part of my
workout, if not at least cycle it during times of plateaus.

Will still be implementing bodyweight training on off days. Got
this out of Muscle and Fitness. It's not the best powerlifting
program in regards to getting high numbers on primary lifts, but it
should give me strength in general, which is my whole purpose to
lifting.
Contemplating a style shift next semester. Still want to
strike. Kyokushin is appealing when mixed with boxing, but the
main problem is getting to train.
I'm really glad to hear that you've broken past old pateaus and that you are feeling really strong!!! I'm so proud of you! It sounds like you will have a good new work out once you get back from field training and are starting school again. Hopefully, your schedule will allow for your desired training time. I wish you the best of luck with that. Keep up your hard work. I can't wait to hear how the new program will work for you. Take care. I love you! ~aloha~
ReplyDeleteWhere'd you get your MMA Gloves to? There are a couple of places that sell them here, but there's been an alarming theft rate increase concerning said gloves. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI dunno if the stores are the same in Canada or not. I got mine from Big5 sporting goods. It's not an official MMA glove, but a harbinger "bag glove" that I modified.
ReplyDeleteI have the same Muscle and Fitness, let us know about your gains. Was a good article.
