This past month, I've been focusing on increasing my strength and bulk and trying creatine because of everything I've been hearing about creatine. In terms of creatine supplement, this is what I did:
- Week 1 (loading phase): 20-25g of creatine of per day for 6 days
- Week 2-5 (maintenance phase): 5g of creatine per day, taken after workout mixed with protein shake. This is what I'm currently on right now, week 3 specifically.
- After this, I will be doing the recovery phase for a month during which I will not take any creatine.
For nutrition, I focused on increasing my protein intake and my calorie intake slightly.
For fitness, this is what my workout schedule looks like:
- Monday: High Weight Training- Triceps and Chest + 2 mile run
- Tuesday: High Weight Training - Legs
- Wednesday: High Weight Training - Biceps and Shoulders
- Thursday: Rest + Yoga
- Friday: High Weight Training - Core (Abs + Back)
- Saturday: 8-10 mile run
- Sunday: 1 hour long P90X stretch session
Having been doing this for 3 weeks, I am now about to start the Beachbody Insanity program for the second time. Here is a picture of me right now after 3 weeks of HARD work, creatine and right before the beginning of Insanity. SO PUMPED for Insanity! Will posting updates on a weekly basis, with pictures.
