Gains!

FINALLY!! Busted out a work-out tonight and had some gains! Whether is was to reps or weight, there were some gains. I am currently 3 weeks into creatine cycle though, so that may explain some of the gains.

One thing I believe that has halted some of my gains is my lack of sleep. Even though I allow my to have 8 hours of sleep, I really only get maybe 4-5 hours. The rest of the time is me laying in bed trying to get back to sleep. It sucks, and I've been having to rely on caffeine to keep me up during the day.

Currently on a modified schedule. Only hitting back/bicep & tri/chest/shoulders. Legs, I've cut out for now just due to a lot of standing around and snowboarding pretty much every weekend.

Bulking has pretty much been a failure so far. I've actually gone down to 135-136lbs, which is almost 20lbs from the starting weight...Honestly just have trouble eating the extra calories. If I do get the calories, it's normally not the best foods like candy, chips, cookies, brownies or some chocolate. My healthy snack, the bernnie's bars, I haven't touched in a long while just because the last batch i made, I used dextrose instead of sugar, and it taste awful. Also when I finish eating it, it makes me feel kinda sick. I'm gonna blame it on all the carbs. So I've decided that I'm gonna make some protein brownies instead.

Aside from all that, nothing new to report. I still will be writing up those reviews, I've tried more of the supp samples I've received. A while back as well, I received the body fat caliper thing, but the thing is so damn confusing to use, looking up how to use it, there are a bunch of formulas that people use to calculate body fat percentage...and honestly just don't know which one to use.

Rant:

Canadian supplement companies have to step up their game. Seriously, I want to keep Canadian dollars within Canada, but you are making it hard for me to do it. Recent order off of an american site $222.45 (CAD) shipped with duties paid, etc. Everything I've purchased, exact same items, now from a popular canadian site, $295.77 (I've subtracted 15% as they usually have their promos...). Now another site canadian site $295.83 (5% discount applied). Difference? $73...Sorry bros, I'd rather support our neighbours.
