So today I called my doctor about a referral to a physical therapist about my back and my right forearm. I should hear back tomorrow about what I need to do. I am glad to finally see what I need to do to take care of all this. It's been so frustrating trying to make progress and have to take 3 steps back every time I try to take 1 step forward.

Until I know exactly what I need to do based on what my doctor or PT recommends, I figured it's best that I try to work as hard I can until I know what my prognosis is. So, I started back on creatine today. It's amazing how much more hungry I get when I start taking it again. I plan to take at least 20g of creatine for the next week, maybe even more. It really helps with workout stamina. I felt quite energized today during my workout.

Today I trained quads and did a lot of ball squats. I did 30 ball squats with 75lbs dumbbells. I tried to do lunges afterward, but I felt my legs were so tight that it almost felt like I was tearing my quad muscle while I did the lunges. So, I backed off and did cardio. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a more thorough workout in.

I weighed 212lbs this morning. I hope to see this number jump up again especially now that I am back on the creatine. Here is my log for today:
