Is it the Creatine, or the longer rets?

[dougz]

I don't really care, as it's working whatever it is..

But for a long time now, I've finished a WO, and have just been WRECKED..

I'd do my last set of chin ups or hanging chair raises and stagger home to make my PWO shake with trembling hands, and hope I get it down before I get too nauseous and end up on the couch for an hour, which also happened once in a while..

Now, up to this point I'd been resting maybe 30 seconds between sets (lifting heavy, 5 reps, 3 sets)..

But lately, after reading NROL and Maximum Strength, I started taking 90 to 120 seconds between sets..

It feels like forever compared to what I did before, of course!

And not only do I have more juice to finish each working set, but I notice I'm not so exhausted after the wo..

I can even do 10 min. or so of cardio after, and take my time making my shake..

All good news..

WAS it a CNS thing?

OR..

I also started taking Creatine again..

Could that be what's helped?

Combo of both?

Heavier weights, more rest needed.

No way dude. Totally the creatine.

That shit gets you swole.

But how does it effect endurance, or blood sugar (or whatever was giving me the shakes)?

maybe you're not eating pre workout

Nope, was always eating pre WO..

Well, I WASN'T when I first started, but I fixed that, and still had the same issue..

Gym sessions run about an hour..
