Arc @arc I gained about 4 pounds so I guess a lot of that is muscle. I also started doing creatine yesterday so hopefully in a couple weeks I will be able to keep up with exercises better. I feel like I'm making a lot of progress! What's your plan like?

Branden @solid_snake95 Yes, I highly recommend creatine after lifting a couple of months at least. For my routine I do 10 mg of creatine every day along with 180 g to 200 g of protein daily. 130 g of carbs but still need to work more on fiber. I also take L carnitine and some ashwaganda in the morning right as soon as I wake up. Five days of lifting consistently a week followed by 30 minutes of cardio each session on incline. I got a journal too to keep track of all the weight I do so I can progress every week in someway every time. Keep going Arc! Super proud of you

Arc @arc damn that's pretty intense! I'm gonna work my way up to that 30 minutes of cardio. Right now it's just going to be 3 days a week of heavy training at the gym because I'm just so busy after work. at 200g protein a day you must be getting ripped. I think I hit about 100 grams a day with a protien shake and whatever else I eat. I like pasta and bread too much to hit super high on protein goals haha

Branden @solid_snake95 Well, it takes a while to work your way up to be accustomed to it without messing your body up badly. Took me almost 2 years to get to this point of consistency. And you can definitely still have pasta and bread. It’s a myth in my opinion about carbs being bad for you. In fact, they are your best friend when it comes to lifting. It gives you the necessary energy to lift more than before, and think of it as a temporary energy boost or power up in a video game.
