Ok guys, im in a point of this training where im doubting myself, or the efforts of the myself applied to the training, and doubting what the training has offered my physique in 7 weeks
the basic information
from day one of this program 7 weeks ago, untill now i have been purchasing alot of the " ATLAS 1500 protein shakes " which basically is 6 scoops before training, 6 scoops after training and 6 scoops before going to bed, wich acumulates to 3300 calories on training days only, and i consume 2300 being a total of proper food
non training days consume around 2100 maybe 3200 with 6 scoops of atlas superweight gainer before going to bed.
other factors of information i had to include, every single night even on training days i find myself being up untill the next day usually between 4-7am BUT when i fall asleep, i do sleep for the full 6-10 hours each day.
started creatine on week 3 or 5 i cant remember, i think 5, stopped after 2 weeks, wich was the proper recommended time by pro athletes i spoke to so my organism doesnt get too used to its effects because it stops working on our bodies after some time.
Week 0: 143.2 pounds
week 1: 149.4 pounds
week 2: 148.5 pounds
week 3: 151.0 pounds
week 4: 150.6 pounds
week 5: 153.2 pounds
week 6: 151.6 pounds
after being off the creatine, and maybe the sleep issue, i have been robbed of my stregnth in certain excercises. These excercises are as follows with the weight reduction.
week 6
Shoulder press - monday successfully completed 22kg db, 5/5/5
shoulder press - friday increased weight to 24 then switched to 22 because i couldnt do it so its 5 with 24 then /4/3 with 22
week 7
Shoulder press - monday went back to 22, barely done 4/3/3
Bicep curls i went up to 22 KG 5X3 full completion, went to 24, didnt have enough strength on the next training day, went back to 22, struggled to complete 5x3 on that.
week 6
BENCH PRESS - friday 65KG (never before attempted) successfully completed 5/5/5
week 7
BENCH PRESS - monday 65kg, struggled 1st set only completed 2, so i dropped to 60kg and finished doing the rest with 5/5
But the main excercises are going up as usual.
i notice from the statistics, i havent really been growing much, even though this is the first proper cycle im performing, does the sleep really affect performance and growth EVEN THOUGH the organism still gets the required calories and 8 hour or more sleep regardless what time you go to sleep etc etc
last bit of information, since i been training thats all i been doing, i havent been going out at night, i havent been spending my energy going out at all, all i do these past months is staying at home eat sleep play video games, and go gym and back home again.
im starting to think maybe my genetic make up may have the better of me, i duno.
