Default Rippetoe Journal

I thought I'd try out the Rippetoe routine and see what kind of gains I could get. I started lifting again and have been consistent for the last 6 months. I took a two week break and I just started again. Goals are to gain some strength while keeping my weight the same. Last time with creatine mono I gained a lot of weight. I went from 155 pds. to 175 pds. I'm gonna try a CEE and do light cardio twice a week.

Stats:
5'11"
165 pds.

Supplements:
Whey protein
CEE
Multi-Vitamin

So far so good. I just recieved my CEE in the mail so hopefully I'll make some bigger gains in the near future. I thought I'd start light until I start the creatine again. Plus, my legs were really sore last week. They feel normal again this week; sore but not painfully so. I think I started too light on some exercises and too heavy on others.
