Re: Ironwill's workout log
So you succumbed to the lure of Creatine again eh
Re: Ironwill's workout log
........didn't really notice a big difference taking it, but wife had bought me another container when I was taking it before, so I gave it a rest, now I'll work way through this one, and see how it goes.
Re: Ironwill's workout log
It will go in, digest, have some biological effect, then probably be pretty unmemorable in it's impact . However as your wife bought it, you've not taken any financial risk, so it might be win - win in a few weeks. Worst case scenario, win - so-so .
Re: Ironwill's workout log
She was worried initially about the supposed Test boosting qualities, that it might make me grouchy, but it didn't seem to effect me that way...... So she bought me more. Not really into buying alot of supplements, as I'm looking to be fit, and want to try to get the majority of nutrition through proper eating habits. Something I can maintain long-term, and not have to drain the bank to do it. I'm not aiming for the stage, and theres no financial return, just hopefully good health, and looking good.
Re: Ironwill's workout log
That would be so funny, if Creatine tubs came with the wording, "warning, this product may make you grouchy" .
Though I think such an effect is highly unlikely.

Re: Ironwill's workout log
Slowly, but certainly! Plan is to get up to about 85-87kg before I start cutting. Last attempt at cutting was so slow, I lost patience and went back to eating well again. Besides, I had only gained 8kg so I think I can keep going a bit more. What about you?ironwill wrote:Hey thanks. How are things going in the bulking World?Fygle wrote:Welcome back champ!
Re: Ironwill's workout log
I maxed out around 196 (89kg) then trimmed to 180 for the Summer. Lost some size, and strength as expected, but looked good for beach/boating weather, once I finally got the tan happening. Now its lift, eat, grow. Going to keep the diet pretty clean, call it a "clean bulk". Will likely get up into the 190's again before next Summer, maybe 200+, but seems doubtful. Looking forward to lifting some heavier weight......Fygle wrote:Slowly, but certainly! Plan is to get up to about 85-87kg before I start cutting.
