DukeB-120th is on a distinguished road
Default Duke's Situation (Friend of Rakshas)

Greetings;

I'm almost 18 years old, have been lifting seriously for more than one year.
I'm 5'11", currently 140lbs.

I got started with football conditioning. I was lifting regularly as well as doing plenty of agility drills and running, the usual stuff. I was taking Cytosport Cytogainer. By the time two-a-days rolled around, in August I gained 10 pounds and weighed 140.

Then the regular season started, and I maintained bulk pretty well even without the Cytogainer. Around playoffs in november, That's when my legs started shrinking. I dropped down to below 135. We didnt lift for about three weeks, but upon resuming, I got swole again.

Ever since then I have been lifting dedicatedly, but I'm still confused as to why my ankles, calves, knees, hamstrings, wrists, elbows, and hands are all continuting to get lankier.

I workout five days a week.
Lower body workout covers - Squats, deadlifts, leg presses; machines for adductors, abductors, hamstrings and quads
Upper body includes - bench presses, dumbell presses, flys, cleans, jerks, military, dumbell curl burnouts, cable lat pulldowns, overhead triceps extensions, bar dips, pull-ups.

And other stuff that I decide to get creative with.

Sometimes I get swole up real big after a workout, other times I dont swell up at all and feel like Im back at square zero.

1) I'm curious if anyone has anything to say about what my body is doing and what I'm doing to my body
2) What do you guys have to say about Cytogainer with creatine? I havent taken it since hell week because of my mom
3) Rakshas and I are about to start lifting together, and our routine is up in hte air. I dont like working out in sundays and I would prefer that the workout for each day doesn't shift.

Please Advise!
Duke
