I think it is time for a B workout!

I've been doing it for about 8 weeks and now when I go to the gym or workout at home Im like piece of cake and it is no struggle for me anymore and I dont even feel like im getting any benefit from it anymore. (Looks like I am losing muscle) So I need a new workout would anyone be interested in directing me towards one?

Do different exercises for each group. Bottom line for each exercise you do know there are at least 2-3 others that do the same thing. right now I am doing decsending sets(I start off with a high weight and lower the weight on each set, but add reps as I go down in weight). Try that .:cool: -------------- LIFT HEAVY! BECOME STRONG, LIKE BULL!

For the past few weeks working out has gotten worse and worse for me each time. No motivation I guess and my bench and other exercises has went down in weight as well. All this happened after I went off of creatine. This wouldnt be the cause of it and it is probably just a placebo effect happening?

One classic sign of Overtraining is what you just described....if you have been traing hard for 3 or more months take 3-7 + days off....:angry:I mean off no lifting and just light cardio if any:angry::cool:...will do you a world of good! -------------- LIFT HEAVY!
