Day 8
Today was leg day. I really despise leg days. I just want to note something right quick: Sunday, February 6th, I worked out legs. The last set I did was with 285. We are in May, and I'm still working out with 285, but it changes next week. I hit my target reps for 315. I just moved up to 315 today, and I already hit my target rep of ten, so I'll be doing 325 next week. I just wanted to point that out. I couldn't move up in weight in months, and I managed to do that in a week. That's a really good sign in the right direction. Also, those DB lunges are no joke. I killed my legs today.
Here's another thing: I gained two pounds! I've been doing a bulk diet going on two years. I ate sausages, scrambled eggs, fried catfish, chicken tenders, steaks, loaded baked potatoes, chicken wings, bread, rice, beans & cornbread, ice-cream, nuts, etc. I was in a calorie surplus and gained good. Matter of fact, one week before I started my diet and cycle, I took a break from the gym and ate whatever I wanted because I knew what I was about to get myself into. I weighed myself just like I did last week without anything on, in my bladder, and in my colon. I was thinking I lost weight this week because I've been eating clean and hitting it hard in the gym. I stepped on the scale, and I actually gained weight. It made my morning. Also, I got this off a medically accredited website:
"When you stop supplementing with creatine, your muscles will not hold as much water, making you lose weight, sometimes up to 5 to 7 pounds, in the first several days to a week after stopping creatine."
So, yea, this absolutely made my day!
Tomorrow is chest. I'm not going to do pushups. Instead, I'm going to do the Chest Press machine.
*No negative side effects
*Increased strength
*Increased bodyweight
