To Creatine or not to Creatine...

DISCLAIMER : A heuristical analysis comparing 2 very similar Arms Day session with the latter after a dose of creatine an hour before commencing. Lacking in any kind of big data and good sampling size. Reps and total weight moved increased on 30 Sep 2023 over 02 Sep 2023. A positive correlation to usage of creatine. However fatigue level accumulation of last few days before each of these cannot be objectively factored. Recovery from strain injuries leading to possibly better performance on 30 Sep cannot be quantified. No specific conclusions can be drawn at this point. 02 Sep - No creatine.  30 Sep - ~3.5gram of creatine 1 hour before workout. Workout session ~similar on both days (11:30am - 1:45pm). Fonts in red yesterday indicate working to FAILURE either in reps and or weight used (similar indication not available for 02 Sep log)   Tried to replicate 02 Sep routine yesterday but walking on the way to the gym was some Elbow Dips and followed by a set of pullups before star...

2023 Sep Training Reflections

Image
Report Card time again ... 3 Quarters of 2023 just lapsed. Just a quick glance basing on the overall and average numbers now.   PUSH, PULL, DIP-- the UpperBod Trinity PULLUP: Surprisingly, monthly pullup average has remained very consistent with a +/- of just around 7, despite my best efforts to reduce quantities this year due to various reasons. While numbers stay the same-- weighted pullups were also added since ~ May 2023. 2022 had more fluctuations in the months which ranged as wide as 483 at the start in Jul to 1091 in Dec when going ballistic after Covid to reach a total of 5000 before the year end. 2023 Jan-Sep has been more consistent in month to month figures and vary between 727 - 976... averaging ~830. "What! 12.5K pullups but less than 15.5K pushups?..." PUSHUPS: Overall, my pushups never seemed to be in a greater quantity as justified by the difficulty level, compared to pullups.  While there has always been a greater emphasis and my mind gravitating towards pul...
