Thank you!!! I hope you are able to start running soon as well.
Its great for both mind and body.
I had surgery in September so very little activity in September and October.
Then I started back.....but due to several trips and being away almost the entire
month of December...still not on track. I stayed in several hotels without a gym
or adequate gym anyway, thats what I get for prefering boutique hotels!!
Then on top of that add going out to eat 2-3 times a day for 4-5 weeks when
travelling...and the holidays...and the fact that I lose muscle easily and voila!!
My goals are to consistently eat/workout as I have for many years and get back on track.
Hoping to add lean muscle mass...I should probably do some measurements but I usually go by the way I look and feel.
Thanks for your well wishes and same to you!*IIFYM*

That is a **** ton of sets 0.o I would really try and cut some of that down, there is no need for that many. It will lead to an over kill!
Looking at your AVI if that is up to date, id say you have a really nice body and for what you are trying to do wont be hard at all! But if you over train your self you will be working 2x times harder and see less.十

Thank you!
The reason for all those sets is this:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/layne-...l-revelia.html
I have been winging it for awhile when it comes to workout routines and trying to follow the one I found at that link, its a power/hypertrophy split routine, so I dont have to do all those sets everyday luckily!
What's up with the Con-Cret? You are the 2nd person I've seen, I'd like to hear about the benefits of their creatine. I never saw the benefits of creatine when I've tried to use it before....Last edited by ZandP; 01-15-2011 at 12:11 PM.

Con-Cret is a no loading / no bloating Creatine and it works great! While on it I broke many of PR's and had some amazing strength. I took never trusted Creatine and to be blunt most I dont. If you are looking to try one out then there are 2 I can say I trust. CGP (its a powder and only one small scoop) and Con-Cret (I did the pills for my log, the powder is a bit nasty from what I am told) both are really great and worth the money.
Con-Cret however is a bit on the higher price side. And CGP can be found a bit cheaper, I just bought a 80 servings container of it for 40 bucks!
Con-Cret was given to me as I was picked for a Log from ProMera Health. I will probably use it again in the future but will be doing some price watching when the time comes.
As for workouts if you are doing say Chest and Bi, try something like this.
Flat Bench: 3-4 set
Incline Bench: 3 set
Fly's: 3 set
Alt Curls: 3 set
Lying Cable Curls: 2-3
ALL heavy sets!
This way you are still getting a solid workout in and not overtraining your body. Your Bi's and Tri's are very small muscle groups and are worked out a number of time during other workouts. There is no need to do a massive amount of sets and reps for them as you are targeting it them more then enough and you dont ever know it =)
Focus on big heavy compound lifts. Bench, Shoulder Press, Dead Lift, Squats. Stuff like that! These are all great lifts that will really beat the heck out of your body and leave you feeling beat (in a good way) the next day!
While that dude is no joke and clearly knows how to train there is a big difference when it comes to someone who has trained for years and years vs someone who does this on the side for fun or just getting started. Work on Forms and motions before you get caught up in a advanced program.十

Thank you for the encouraging comments!
Though I haven't been consistent since late Sept for the past 3 months...surgery can't be helped, and dining out is part of what makes travelling fun! I've been lifting for 8-10 years and have held onto most of my muscle so I am optimistic.
Though I have been consistent with working out throughout the years...not exactly consistent with diet...I eat 75% healthy and 25% not...go out for ice cream with the kids, drink wine several times a week, dine out quite a bit (never ever fast food though, occasional pizza is the only fast food we eat), eat the things I bake etc...trying to stick to my macros better and see where that takes me lol.*IIFYM*

I'm ordering some Con-Cret pills today and trying them out. It seems the amount of weight I lift doesn't go up as much as I would like anyway. Lifting weights here for 6-8 years consistently, and longer randomly, yet I see lots of women who lift heavier than me who aren't as fit as I am. My husband says its because they are bigger/weigh more, even if they're not as fit, but I would like to see my weights increase regardless. Part of it is i dont lift with a spotter either. Hopefully it will help!

Your log is going well.
Sorry to hear about your injury but I understand where youre coming from.
I break things down to a few things. Push/Pull/Legs/Cardio
After constant exercise, one of those things tend to go.
So I switch to another one and give it a break for a few weeks.
Eventually it heals and I start light again.
(ie. I do flat bench constantly, breaking down muscle and hitting records.
then my shoulder/elbow or wrist starts to tweak, so I let that simmer on the back burner,
and move to my cardio phase, again breaking down barriers)
That depends entirely on where you shop
There is also a difference between the two.
Con-Cret is pure Creatine Hydrochloride
CGP is creatine-glycerol-phosphate
now Ive never tried CGP and thus have no opinion
but I am taking an ethyl ester form of Creatine Hydrochloride
and I can honestly say, its producing less results[][][][]===FREE AGENT===[][][][]

Thank you!
Thinking I should add some glucosomine as well as Concret or maybe other joint support instead of just feeding them to my bff (and maybe I will even wrap mine in peanut butter like I do hers)
After time off from lifting I went straight into lifting heavy 5 days a week which was a big mistake as I learned today. Flat bench is how I was injured this morning. Maybe will lift 3 days for a bit then go back into 5 days.
Edit: How do you paste pics into these posts!!
