Training Log: Entry 126

Stepped on a real scale today.  Weighed in at 194.  Reason to believe
1: My scale at home is not accurate
2: I am retaining water from creatine.

Possibly a combination of these factors.

I realized I was not taking enough creatine during my first cycle with
it.  My scoop was not a teaspoon.  At most, it was half of
one.  Lets see if things will be different now.

First day of lifting in a month.  Was amazed with how much
strength I still had.  Was deadlift day.  Things are going
smooth.  Will post my routine after a full week.

Official weigh in at 183.5 with slacks on.  Not too bad. 
Bought weight gainer and creatine monohydrate today.  First time
using a weight gainer.  Hopefully good results.  Made sure to
buy one low in sugar.

Have had this training log for over a year now.  Hit the
anniversary during Field Training.  It's been a fun ride, and so
many things have changed in just one year.  I'll be starting my
new routine and focus in a few days when I get back to school.

Back from field training.  Lost a bit of weight.  Some of it
muscle.  Will do official weigh in tomorrow.  Cardio is high,
strength is low, endurance is lower.  Not enough proper PT. 
Diet was horrible, yet more clean than I was used to.  Will be
starting a bulk when I get back to school.  Contemplating using
weight gainer.

Maxed out on bench tonight.  Still at 300, but did it without a
spotter with an injured shoulder.  Leads me to believe I could do
more.

Went running in 95 degree heat.  I'm ready for FT.  Conditioned.

And since I've brought it up, will depart on the 27th, and be gone for 4 weeks.

Been eating like crap as of recently to put on weight before FT. 
I'll get there fat, but I'm probably going to lose a lot.  After I
get back, gonna bulk again.

Subluxed my shoulder last night.  It's been damaged from work.  Rested and iced it.

Sparred with my bro.  I think I need to use less power in my
shots.  I was making him stagger a lot.  He's still a novice,
need to let him learn.

Pulled a muscle around my shin today jogging.  Cut my run short.  Must remember to stretch properly.

Calfs are looking small.  New program will fix that.

Maxed out on chin-ups the other day post back workout.  Managed 20.  Old number was 12-15.  Laddering works.

Sparred my bro for a hard 6 rounds.  Need to remember that he
needs to learn.  He's hitting hard enough now that I find myself
trying to "win" rather than teach.  Still, showed him some holes
in his guard, and got him to counter punch.

Trying out a new boxing stance.  Seems to work pretty well. 
Instead of "peek a boo", I fight from a more traditional stance with my
lead hand forward.  I'm starting to think I can sacrafice some
defense for offensive speed.

Found out my scale has  been off for the past month or so.  I'm not 183, I'm 187.5 with pants.

Push up workout was a little screwy tonight.  Did them shortly
after sparring.  Gassed out early on, so made up for it in later
sets

Set 1: 100
Set 2: 70
Set 3: 50
Set 4: 40
Set 5: 30
Set 6: 25+10 knee

Total Push-ups:  315+10 knee

Came to the realization while resting for my last set that I could push
beyond failure by dropping to knee push-ups after failing at
traditional push-ups.  Must remember to utilize this in the future.

Got a Playstation 2 eyetoy today after wowing a crowd at comic con
doing Eyetoy boxing.  Fun cardio.  Helps me keep relaxed when
shadowboxing as well.
