No creatine,I will probably get some next time I order some more whey.No biggie I will probably get used to the deficiet I just need some time to adjust.

Any tweaks to the diet that might work?

Great reading your journals (this one and the 5x5)! How do you like the HST routine compared to the 5x5? Any preferences or likes/dislikes? I know you're cutting in this one and the last one you were bulking. Also this question might be premature since you haven't finished it yet.

Have you tried sipping gatorade durring your workouts for energy?

Hmm good idea,I happen to have half a container of the powder which I used in my pwo shake before I got dextrose.Might give it a shot next workout.

...but as soon as I start lifting my energy just plummets.

Hmm...I think some guy mentioned something about this back on page 2.

Just letting people know that I probably wont be updating this journal much as there isnt much to report and my posts are not very exciting. The weight is still coming off fast, im sitting at around 190-191 and hope to get to 185 in three weeks. Workouts have been off a bit lately as I have been a bit sick lately and thus feel shit.I am however still lifting as heavy as I can with the compound lifts,but it has been more of a do as I feel type thing. I have been also using this time to work on some of lifting form. In 3 weeks I will begin bulking and will start a new journal.

I sometimes have a banana 15 mins before I workout, which seems to help whilst cutting.

Don't you think 190/191 to 185 in three weeks is a fairly sharp drop? And once you're down to 185, you'll probably want to stay there for a few weeks so your body gets used to that level of bodyfat, so when you start bulking, you don't just bounce back to where you started. That's what I was thinking for myself anyway - basically not bulk to much to start with.

I do not think it is that much of a drop,I have been losing about 2lb a week with no drama.I actually do not plan to bulk for 3-4weeks after I reach my goal weight,but rather ease back in maintainence eating slowly then slowly bulk.
