I am all out of Creatine Monohydrate and i am not planning on making another order until next month, so the next few weeks will be without it. I bought some Glucosamine Sulphate from H+B, hopefully it will help me get over my left wrist and elbow injuries.

Do you find the creatine makes much difference? I used to use it, but I haven't bought any for ages.
Hope tomorrow is a good session. You have to beat those other guys in the bench race!

I think its really hard to tell if any supplements make any difference to be honest, i am not going to buy any for a while and see if i can see any difference. Creatine is well recommended though by a hell of alot of people. The race has really given me that bit extra to be honest, enjoying it.

Today's training:

Deadlift 3 x 10,10,10 82.5kg/85kg

Shoulder press 3 x 8,7,6/8,5,6 47.5kg

Bined the upright row to give my elbow a rest.

Still on Bi Curls 3 x 40 10,8,6 machine sets due to left wrist still giving me trouble.

Deadlifted more than my bodyweight for the first time which i am happy with, i now find that my grip is working hard and i don't think that i will have too much more weight before i have to use straps. I actually lost a rep on the shoulder press today but i am not concerned at all because i had very little rest between set 1 and 2. Quiet enjoying the bicep curl machine.

Excellent .
Dunno about the straps - I am trying to avoid them. I don't think they helped that much anyway. I am working on my grip in other ways - farmer's walks and forearm stuff.

all the best

Fozy,

have you had your wrist and elbow injuries assessed?

the glucosamine sounds like a long shot to me

Don't use the straps mate, you have to train the weak link.
Do you use chalk?

Today's Training:

Squats 3 x 10,8,8 77.5kg/80kg

Bench press 3 x 5,5,5,5,5 77.5kg

Todays training was a nightmare, it started off well hitting 80kg and getting some good reps on the squat but my benching was really bad. I was thinking about going up to 78.5 and even considered jumping to 80 but good job i didn't because i could barely do 77.5. Felt really weak through out and my last set was only one full rep the rest was half reps. I got that fed up i sacked the rest of my training and just went straight back to work!

It was then going through my head, why was the session so poor. Was it that i am not on creatine anymore, was it even lack of my usual pre workout coffee! I was on a real downer after that session questioning whether i am ever going to progress on my bench. I think that my expectations were too high.

Maybe you might need to deload and ramp it back up.

You are training hard and that's for sure, but harder isn't always smarter.

Here is a scenario that happened to me. I hit a peak on chest exercises that I was focusing on. I stopped focusing on chest so much and focused on dead lifts. My deads went up 100lbs and my chest exercises that I was not focusing on went up, who knew.

You can deload on the bench or switch to db's and make some gains and go back to bar when you hit a platou on db's.
If you don't keep the body guessing you will stall!

Squats 3 x 10,8,8 80kg

Bench press 3 x 5,5,5, 77.5kg

Had a really rushed session today so i just had time to get 3 sets of bench press in. I did a stronger bench press set on my third set when a guy offered to spot for me, gave me more confidence to really drive up knowing that i won't get trapped. Will look to get spotters more often i think.

Def. true about the spotting! The guy who owns my gym is great - I usually get a spot on my last set and he makes me do a forced rep as well!
