I hope so,
I went for a blood test this morning and my Rheumatologist just called me to say some of the results came back (SO FAST), why, cause my CK (creatine) levels were the highest he's ever seen.
He asked if I worked out and I told him I did but only on Monday. He wants me to not work out and then redo the test.
It's one of the markers in lupus but he's never seen it so high!
I know CK levels are high in weight lifters.
Anyone have a elevated CK level normally from lifting?

No, when the CK is elevated it means major inflammation somewhere in the muscles.
It does become elevated if one is nearing a heart attack, takes lipid meds, does a lot of exercise and it's also a marker for kidney failure in lupus. I have lupus and lyme disease so my doc is worried.

So I hit the gym twice this week. Both pretty decent work outs, but still can't lift very heavy
today
squats 85 lbs 4 x 10
db chest press 25 dbs 3 x 10
flies 20lb db's 3 x 10
tri pull downs 50 lbs 3 x 10
super set the tris with skull crushers 25 lbs 3 x 10
back row 75 lbs 3 x 10
hamstring curls 30 2 x 10 then 40 lbs 2 x 10 then 50 lb 1 set 8
That's it.
Best part is I feel hunger after I work out and I have the worst appetite ever.
Came home had meatloaf and marinated peppers.
Will eat a chicken breast and hummas in about 2 hrs.
If anyone can give me a good butt routine to get my butt tight, that would be awesome. I have one i used to do, but never made me have booty. I have a flat butt

Far as your booty is concerned, I've found doing squats, leg press, walking lunges, sumo squats & hip ab/adductors work amazing.
I once had office as*, f*ckin' hated it, now its one of my best ass ets. hehe
thanks
Yeah, I need to get back to doing squats more often.
I need buns of steel ;-)
Have a treadmill?
You can do walking lunges with or without weights on the treadmill.
Or go on the highest incline and take very long deep strides with bent knees not as low as a lunge but close (you'll know when you feel it in your legs) and keep your butt cheeks squeezed together through the long strides. It's the closest thing to speed skating I have found that you can do indoors.
And it won't wreck you if you're not feeling your greatest or if you use it as a warm up you won't be spent to do other things.
