9.27.07 - Weight 188 - Shoulders/Forearms/Abs

Shoulders day. Argh, I love working my shoulders but I always feel numb all over my body when I'm done. Its crazy, when I do Bi's and Tri's my arms hurt and feel weak but when I do shoulders my whole body feels weak.....lets pray that means its working somehow! haha

My weight jumped a little over the last couple weeks, however about 2 weeks ago I started taking Muscletech's Cell Tech Hardcore. Its a creatine supplement. It did everything it promised, I was recovering faster, my muscles appeared bigger, I was lifting more weight, all in all it was OK, a little expensive but it works. I stopped using it this week. I have to frequently remind myself that my primary objective is to loose the rest of the weight. I would love to get to 10%-9% body fat, then I'll start bulking up on the weights. I gained some water weight that has slowly been fading away over the last few days. My goal is to get back down to 180 by Thanksgiving, while at the same time bulking up on some muscle.
