Replaced db presses with military since at the end of my workout I have so much trouble getting my lift off on my dumbbells which is also effecting the weight i can put up. When we go to the 4 day split i will incorporate the db presses again.

Weekly Stats 24.5 Weeks Out
**New Contest Date Confirmed July 10th, 2010

Last Week: 170 lbs
Weekly weigh in: 171 lbs
Weight: +1 lbs gain

The only thing I've done differently is incorporate creatine post workout. I started at 10g every day for 3 days (started last week) then went to 5g every day post workout. I even added the one HIIT session which i didn't do the week before when i lost the 1.25 pounds. Could my 1 lbs gain be from the creatine? I would hate to have to lower calories this early out.
