Great read Leesh, good to see you found it within you to keep going. Your progress pic shows the results of your determination.. good stuff!

In regards to the statement about creatine...

It's apparent effects are very closely tied in to how much muscle mass you're currently carrying. Keeping in mind that creatine doesn't affect subcutaneous water. So, the more muscle you already have, the more pronounced the effect of supplemented creatine will be. Water gain (muscle cell saturation) isn't always an effect of creatine use.. I'm a non-responder in that regard. However the relative strength increases seen with it are awesome. It's quite an 'individual' supplement.. It will definitely help you to reach your goals if you're comfortable using it.

And it won't take away the 6 pack either

Fantastic work, keep it up!

How did the seated rows feel with the shoulders?

How did the seated rows feel with the shoulders?

They felt fine, just did 3 sets until I work them back in properly. 40kg felt heavy, I think I used to do 50kg lol

Sweet ! some rows are better than no rows

Didn't lock out the 110 deadlift; hopefully next week. I know I can do it. I'm happy anyway as I weigh 55kg at the moment, so double bodyweight dl come at me!

47.5 bench and 110 deadlift are equal PBs following an infraspinatus tear a couple of months ago that rendered Leesh unable to sleep let alone move her arm in certain positions without excruciating pain. This forced Leesh to rehabilitate the mobility in her shoulder and start from scratch again, with basically all exercise whilst the tissue healed. Her technique is consequently much better now, particularly on bench press, and most importantly, pain free.

Congratulations on getting back there and on your way to smashing these old PBs with some new ones. Exciting times ahead.

Thanks Birds and thanks for all your help.. Might be kicking your arse on deads soon

Squats are improving! Now to solve world hunger..

Squats are improving! Now to solve world hunger..

Yes but at the expense of technique... I have this issue with my right knee bending in as I'm coming up from the squat, was particularly bad tonight.. The 60's were shocking

[Dajae]

I remember reading an article about people with similar issues.. Can't remember the solution though your toes point outwards when you squat, don't they?
