Over the past few months, I really haven't been making all too much progress. I thought it was because of this, that but in the end, it was actually pretty simple.
When I was all the calorie deficient diet, I wasn't making any gains at all. On the 3 months that I did the diet, I lost like 7 lbs. It got me closer to the level of body fat that I wanted to have but when working out, I was weaker. Lots of exercises required me to drop the weight and reps. I thought it was because of me getting off creatine. When I went back on the creatine, my reps came back but not the weight I was used to pushing. I thought that current creatine supp that I had was bunk. This wasn't the case though. Now that I've started eating again at least over maintenance calories again, it's coming back to me now. So lesson learned? Can't build muscle and lose fat at the same time. (you can....but you better have a immaculate diet.) Just wasted 3 months of working out.
Another note. I just learned that Allmax is a Canadian company. Therefore, I will be supporting this company by buying their products. One slight issue I have still though, is that online American stores still have their products for cheaper. What a load of bullshit! Now, I have purchased Allmax products in the past cuz shit was cheap compared to their counter-parts. Even though it is a Canadian company, prices are still messed up though. Caffeine pills, US store 3.99, CAN store 9.99. Creatine US 19.99, CAN 34.99. Nonetheless, I will do my part. I also picked up some Allmax IsoNatural as well, see how that taste when I open a tub up. Just to compare as I bought some Dymatize Elite Natural Whey as well.
On another note. I just opened up Dymatize Elite Recoup. I read/seen reviews on this stuff and lemonade seemed like a decent choice. Since I was kinda fiending for a lemonade flavour since the sample of RecoverPro. I went for it. Mixability is pretty much the same as all bcaa products I've tried in the past. Taste is bland, normally I've had to add more water than recommended to bcaa products since it's always so sweet, but with this, I may have to go with recommended specs. It gets worse, I don't what it is, but it doesn't smell right. Whenever I take a whiff of it, I dunno what to this, it doesn't smell bad, but it doesn't smell good either. Something it just off about it.
The issue with my shoulder. Seems to be going away, there's no more of the pinching pain on my left side. I still have to work on my rotator cup though, when I do some exercises especially lateral sides, it is really hurts. Other than that, things are looking up. Expect some really nice progress to be coming in the near future.
