I’m taking a step back to reevaluate my training and my goals. I started off at 130 lbs and gained over 10 lbs of muscle in about 2 months. At that time I was working out once a day at least 5 days a week. I was taking creatine, protein and weight gainer supplements. A few weeks ago I started to scale it back to about 3-4 days a week. I’ve used up nearly all of my supplements. Right now I can’t afford to buy all the supplements I need. Unlike some people around here, I don’t have alot of money lying around to spend on $50 and $60 supplements that only last a week or two.  I don’t have a large appetite so I cannot nearly eat enough to get what I need.  So right now I’ve gotta do everything I can just to maintain my current weight. I’m guessing I can do this if I still work out 3-4 days a week and eat as much as I can, and can afford to.  I considered taking on a second job, but then when would I have time to train? I’m not gonna bust my ass in the gym day in and day out for nothing….so, for now, at least until I can get all my ducks in a row, I’m gonna scale back my training a bit…and try not to be too negative about things that don’t always go the way I want them to  

I had an awesome chest workout today. I did 3 sets of  flat bench press, 2 sets of decline + 3 sets of incline dumbell presses. I finished that off with a few sets of cable flyes. I went up in weight with everything. I load the bar with the same weight I struggled with last week - and it ain’t shit this week!  I love that. Usually after a workout lkie that I’m exausted, but not today. So at the last minute I decided to work my traps. I grabbed a pair of 105lb dumbells to do 2 sets of shrugs, then splashed around in the pool before going home. Overall a good day - great workout.
