A new story from TicTacAstro!

 

 

couldn't change the title when I made the last topic because I couldn't think of one, so I decided to make another one.  I'm taking all the chapters from the other topic and posting them here. This also goes for ppl who haven't read any new chapters or for new members. Hope you'll like it.

Okay, starting:

 

1:Zircon Reborn

2:Zircon's powers activate!

Chapter One

 

It all starts off where Dr. Tenma, a robot engineer, starts awaking another robot. It’s been days since he’s been working on trying to awaken it, but so far, he’s still been trying to get the robot to awaken. The robot looked cold and pale, with its clothes stripped, and dark, gray hair. This was a robot found hidden in a deep, dark, trench, under the sea, and Tenma found it and tries to revive it back. *Come on,* Tenma says in his mind. *Awaken!* Even though he tries to revive it, it was hopeless. Tenma then slams his hands, shaped into fists, onto the robot capsule. “Something must be missing,” Tenma said, in a puzzled mood. “but what?” Later on, he notices that a hole was found on the middle of the robot’s forehead. Tenma finally realizes that the robot won’t wake up unless something was inserted into the hole on its forehead. Tenma looks everywhere around the robot to find the object, and then, all of a sudden, he heard a sound of some sort bounce and then rolled onto the floor and near his feet.

 

Tenma looked down and noticed a small, orange-colored, spherical-shaped jewel on the floor, and then picked it up. “This must be something that needs to be inserted into the hole on its forehead.” Tenma said. He inserts the jewel into the robot’s forehead, and then tries to awaken it again. This time, it worked, but something triggered the computer systems, and caused them to overload. Tenma was in shock. He suddenly realizes that this robot can’t be revived using energy. The computer and all of its systems overloaded and then exploded. Tenma’s latest projects, he had been also working on were destroyed, too. The robot capsule was destroyed, and the robot then awakened, its body was crackling with blue sparks all over its body, and started giving off powerful discharges of a chrome-like structure, all around the room. Tenma noticed all of the destruction the robot was causing, and said, “It seems that the jewel powers up the robot, not the energy I give it!” Pieces from the wall and ceiling are starting to fall, and they’re starting to cave in. Tenma couldn’t find an exit, until suddenly, the robot notices that Tenma was in danger. It flew over to him as quick as its can, picked him up, the robot then created a force field to prevent the pieces of wall and ceiling wouldn’t hit them, and found an exit to escape out of.

 

Dr. Tenma was glad that the robot saved him, but by the time the robot put Tenma safely on the ground, the robot was then hit by a piece of the ceiling from Tenma’s Lair, causing it to accidentally drop Tenma within two feet, onto the ground. The robot somehow gets weaker from all of the power it uses from the jewel if used too much. The robot then took a little glance, at Tenma, gave off a little smile, and started flying off into the woods, feeling tired. Tenma was amazed that the robot he found would create that much power. “Amazing,” Tenma said. “A robot that powerful could be useful.” He then realizes that if he uses the robot’s power, he could take over Metro City!

 

Chapter Two

 

The robot, Tenma activated, was flying, to walking, then to crawling in the woods, getting weaker and losing power by the minute. The robot then reached an unexpected road after crawling out from the woods. Even though it was just out of power, a car unexpectedly drove out of nowhere, and was heading towards the robot. The robot heard it was coming, and it was about to get hit, until suddenly, the robot used its power, once more, and fired a huge power surge of the chrome-like structure, right at the car. The driver tried to slow down, but it was too late. The chrome-like structure hit the car, and the car was blasted high in the sky. The robot was extremely tired from using its powers again, and needed to find somebody to help it. It started to fly again, weakly, and started to head towards the nearest city, Metro City. The robot was just about out of power, until it found Dr. O’shay’s house, and planted itself on the front lawn. The robot shut down, and some of the chrome-like structure, covered over some grass and flowers around its body.

 

This morning, Zoran was wide awake, and headed outside to check on the flowers she planted, until she screamed. Astro and Dr. O’shay heard her scream, and headed outside to see what her problem was. All three of them spotted a robot body on the front lawn. They were surprisingly amazed. “What is it?” Zoran asked. “Looks like a robot to me,” Astro said. Dr. O’shay took a closer look at the robot. “Amazing,” he said, looking at the robot’s surroundings. “I believe this robot created its surroundings when it shut down.” “And it covered the flowers I just planted yesterday,” Zoran said, acting a little frustrated. Astro picked up the robot and handed it to Dr. O’shay. “You might want to take this robot to the Ministry of Science,” he said. “just to see if you can revive it.” “I’ll try the best I can,” Doctor said. “other than that, Astro, you be on your way to school. If you want, you can tell your friends about this.” “Yes, sir,” Astro said. Astro runs inside the house and starts to get dressed. “Zoran,” Doctor says to her. “I need you to do one big favor for me.” “I’m listening,” Zoran said. “I need to show Inspector Tawashi photos of the robot’s surroundings. Since I might be late for work, I don’t have time to take pictures of them. Can you take a few shots of the robot’s crash site, and then send them to him?” Zoran thinks for a little bit. “How?” she asked. “I don’t know where he lives.” “Get your pet bird, Houdini, to help you,” Doctor said. “he’ll find him and give the pictures to him without you giving them to him.” “Okay!” Zoran says happily, and then ran inside the house to get a camera. Doctor put the robot in his car, and drove towards the Ministry.

 

Zoran grabbed the camera from the kitchen drawer, and headed back outside. Astro also headed outside and spotted Zoran taking a few shots of the robot’s crash site. “I hope the robot’s all right,” Astro said. “Yeah, he or she is going to pay for ruining my flowers!” Zoran said, still frustrated. “Forget about the flowers, Zoran,” Astro said. “You can plant in new ones, later. Speaking of which, I have to go to school and tell my friends about what happened here this morning.” “Bye, Astro,” Zoran said. Astro flew away using his jets. After Zoran took the pictures of the robot’s crash site, she then noticed Houdini, her pet bird, fly down from the sky and landed on her arm. “Why, hello, Houdini,” Zoran said surprised. Houdini squawked. “Listen, I need you to run a little errand for me. Could you give these pictures I took to Inspector Tawashi?” Zoran showed the pictures to Houdini. “I’ll give you some bird seed once you’ve come back.” Houdini chirped happily, grabbed the pictures from Zoran’s hand, and then flew off. “Good luck, Houdini!” she said, and then thinks about the robot. “I hope that robot’s okay, though.”

3:Doctor revives Zircon

4:Zircon's story begins

 

Chapter Three

 

At the Ministry of Science, Dr. O’shay did some research on the shut down robot. He then notices a jewel on its head. “Interesting,” he said. “maybe this robot is powered by that jewel.” Doctor cleaned off the dirt from the robot’s body, and gave it a little charge of energy. After the energy was given to the robot, the robot’s arm starts moving, then, its whole body moved. Doctor was amazed that the robot was moving completely. The robot then moved its upper part of its body forward. The robot’s gray hair turned into bright, rainbow-colored hair. Dr. O’shay took a glance at the robot, until it finally opened its eyes. “Where am I?” the robot asked. “You’re in the Ministry of Science,” Doctor said. “You were revived here.” The robot looks around the Ministry in the area it was just awakened. “Was I born here?” it asked. “Well, actually,” Doctor tries to think up an answer to answer the robot’s question. “You weren’t really born here. I just revived you.” “Oh,” the robot said, a little puzzled. “By the way,” Doctor said. “Do you have a name?” The robot looks at Dr. O’shay. “Yes, my name is Zircon.” Doctor smiles at Zircon. “That’s a nice name for a robot,” he said. “Do you know when you were created?” “I can’t remember,” Zircon said. “I can even remember who created me.” Dr. O’shay crosses his arms, and then puts a hand on Zircon’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Zircon,” Doctor said. “Until you can remember who created you, why don’t you stay at my house for now?” Zircon smiles and says, “Oh, thank you! That’d be great!” “By the way, you can call me Dr. O’shay, or Doctor, if you like,” Doctor said. “Okay!” Zircon said happily.

 

Doctor suddenly acts surprised and then says, “Oh! I almost forgot! Now that you’re awake, I can tell Astro and Zoran about you!” “Who are Astro and Zoran?” Zircon asked. “They’re robots you will be meeting at my house,” Doctor said as he looks at his watch. “Astro should be home at any time now. He was at school for a few hours.” “School?” Zircon asked. “I don’t think I remember going to school before. Could you someday enroll me there?” “Of course, Zircon!” Doctor said surprised. “Until then, let’s just head home so you can meet Astro and Zoran!”

 

Chapter Four

 

By the time Dr. O’shay and Zircon got home, and then entered the door, Zoran was drawing in a coloring book, and Astro was reading the newspaper. Both Astro and Zoran looked up and said, “Hi, Doctor!” “Hello, you two,” Doctor said. “There’s someone I want you two to meet. It’s the robot that we found and then revived.” Astro and Zoran looked around until Zircon popped out behind Doctor’s back. “Astro, Zoran, this is Zircon,” Doctor said. Zircon shyly said, “Hello,” to Astro and Zoran. “So,” Astro said. “It was a girl robot we found.” “Yes,” Doctor said. “Zircon hasn’t been in Metro City before, so tomorrow, we’ll show her around.” “Okay!” said both Astro and Zoran. “But,” Astro said a little confused. Doctor was stunned and then turned his head towards Astro. “What’s the matter?” he said. “I don’t understand how Zircon got on our front lawn,” Astro said. Zircon’s mouth partly opened. “Hmm, that’s what I’m also trying to figure out,” Doctor said, and turns is head towards Zircon. “Zircon, how did you end up on our front lawn?” Zircon sighed walked over to the couch to sit down. “Well,” she began. “I hardly remember anything, but I can tell you what I know.” Astro, Zoran, and Dr. O’shay also sat down either on the couch or chair.

 

Zircon begins telling her story. “I don’t remember who my creator is, but he or she conducted an experiment showing what it would be like if a robot mostly run on jewel power. That same person started to create me. Even though that person was trying to create me, he or she couldn’t find a jewel powerful enough to awake me. He or she tried jewels from diamonds to rubies, but still, none of them worked. I f that person wanted to awake me so much, he or she started looking everywhere around the world.” “I see,” Doctor said. “Do you know any places your creator looked?” “I would say the areas from North to South America,” Zircon said. “Do you know any exact areas where your creator looked?” Astro asked. “I don’t think so,” she said. “Continue!” Zoran said impatiently. “It’s starting to get exciting!” “Patients, Zoran,” Astro said to Zoran. “Give it time, and Zircon will continue.”

 

“He or she looked everywhere and has been traveling for years trying to find something that could awake me, until he or she found a small, mysterious jewel. That person then searched for this typical jewel in a certain book of jewels or gems. It was known to be called, an Adrenaline Jewel: a jewel that people say it gives off mysterious sources of energy.” “Wow!” Zoran said. “I never heard of a jewel like that before,” Astro said, confused. “That’s because this jewel is now extinct,” Zircon said to Astro. “I’m the only robot who has this jewel, now.” “When did this jewel exist?” Doctor asked.” “If I can remember, I’d say about two million years ago,” Zircon said. “Wow! That’s a lot of years!” Zoran said surprised. “That jewel existed that long?” Astro asked. “I believe so,” Zircon said. “The jewel was discovered right after one volcano erupted, and it somehow created the jewel from the mix of lava, and the structure on the side of the volcano.” “Go on,” Doctor said. “When he or she had the jewel, he or she took it back to the lab, and then inserted the jewel into my forehead. He or she then noticed that I wasn’t waking up. So, he or she had another idea in mind, by giving me some energy. By accident, he or she gave me too much energy, and the jewel started to give off a shocking force fields and sparks, all around me.” Astro and Zoran gasped. “How could that person do such a thing to you like that?” Zoran asked. “Probably because he or she has been working so hard trying to awake me, he or she was probably going to give up on me,” Zircon said. Suddenly, Astro, Zoran, and Dr. O’shay all gasped.

Chapter Five:Tenma was introduced in Zircon's story

 

“That’s insane!” said Astro, acting frustrated. “That person should be arrested for doing something like that to you!” yelled Zoran. “Don’t go over the top, you guys,” Zircon said. “It’s alright, besides, I’m still here, aren’t I?” Astro crosses his arms and sighs. “I guess,” he said. *I don’t understand,* Doctor thought. *Why would a creator do something like that to a robot he or she who wants to awake?* Zircon continues. “When I was going out of control, he or she was told, from other assistants, that this robot was too dangerous, and he or she had to give up on awaking me. In the end, I was shut down, and then was tossed into the ocean.” Astro got up from the couch, halfway raised up his arms and said, “Why would someone do that to you?!?” Zoran, Doctor and Zircon gasped at Astro. “Because from what my creator did, the jewel got in control, and started sparking and blasting huge ounces of energy, and the other scientists thought it was a malfunction,” Zircon said. Astro put his down his arms, and tilted his head down. *Why would that person do this?* Astro thought. *Zircon was the only project her creator had in mind of doing, and he or she had no choice but to give up?* Zircon started to remember something and visualized it: A close picture of Dr. Tenma’s face!

 

She gasped, and the others noticed her. “What’s wrong, Zircon?” Doctor asked. “I just remembered something,” Zircon said. Astro sat back down and asked, “What is it?” “I just had a vision showing someone’s face, but I can’t state the name,” Zircon said, a little confused. “Can you describe it to us?” asked Zoran. “Well, I believe this person had dark, black hair, a little bit close to spike hair in the front, and the same, but smaller, on his chin.” Doctor, Astro, and Zoran looked at each other, thinking, and then they all yelled, “TENMA!”

[Guest Monday Night Jericho]

Ok, I'm back - sorry about the delay.

 

-- I don't mind the talking as long as it's minimal or after a workout is done. Or of course if you're talking to a nice lady. Yeah, you definitely don't want too much talking though.

 

I'm mainly refering to people who talk as they lift the weight. I don't understand how they can do it and get a proper workout.

 

I think the only time ever that I really let talking interfere with my workout was when I was talking to my highschool crush a couple of days and even that it wasn't really interference. Tough girl. She was there for over 2 hours and it was 36 or 37 degrees, humid as anything and there was no airconditioning in the gym. Not reccomended by the way as that's a pretty dangerous thing to do.

 

2 hours is FAR too long imo.

 

-- My wrists hurt a tiny bit and it's because of the way I was holding shears for awhile last year. The movement just caught up to me. About a year ago I had a lot of pain in my wrist from a few falls I had on some ice where I broke my fall with my wrists. I would try to bend it backwards but "couldn't" because it was in considerable pain. Than one day I was working in the woods and I asked someone who was training in Akido to show me some stuff. Well he took my injured wrist (I wasn't expecting that) and completely bent it backwards. It hurt like anything but you know what? It actually made it feel better and today I have no signs of that injury at all.

That reminds me dumbells can also be better for your wrists than a barbell.

 

Whoa, bending your wrist backwards like that certainly sounds risky. Glad it worked out, though. My wrist is coming along fine, but I'm still having trouble with it.

 

Training history and what I've learnt from it -- I think I started training when I was 13 years old or so. Back than I had no idea at all on what I was doing. My routine consisted of pushups, chinups and situps. I'd purposely watch TV and everytime 3 commercials came on I'd do 30 pushups. Often I'd do 300 or 400 of them which was tough. Same deal with situps. Chinups I would do 7 or 8 sets (or 6o to 70 combined chins) That worked to a point but I got stuck at about 32 pushups for a set I think. My chinups never got by a certain point either. Situps were hard on the back but they did develop my abs and I loved seeing my body transform. I was real skinny at the time and I don't think I've ever had visible abs like that again because my body fat percentage is higher now.

 

You certainly sound very dedicated. I hope you don't mind me asking this, but what kind of diet do you maintain? Do you do the 6 small meals a day thing opposed to 3 large ones?

 

After that I bought my own weight bench, started doing research and began training like Franco Colombu and Arnold. Tons of sets. I now got on to the idea of taking a day or two rest inbetween workouts and it worked some but only to a point. Progress was very slow and sometimes even went backwards which was frustrating. I remember it taking 3 or 4 months just to increase the bench from 100lbs for 9 reps or so to 105lbs for 9 reps.

 

At the end of highschool I started to hear about Dorian Yates method of training. That was like 3 intense sets to failure per bodypart or something. Than when I was talking in class a buddy showed me the ways of the very brief but intense training methods and how they were superior than the typical Arnold like routines. Well, I tried it and it worked. The gains were much quicker than I ever experienced before which made me pretty happy. However they too stopped after awhile but at least I was stronger now. A difficult part of this was just training your mind to think "Less is more"

 

I definitely agree with the "Less is more" philosophy. Although 3 sets per bodypart doesn't sound like that much at all (also would that be fitting every body-part into one workout?). How many sets did Arnold do?

 

Anyway, I stayed with the intense but short training for quite a long time. Years actually except for the time I was out for a year with a very bad arm injury. I was spinning my wheels going nowhere just maintaining my muscle really. I didn't really know what else I could do.

 

Now you have to remember I'm not an easy gainer. I don't recover well and am more of an ectomorph so I gotta be careful on how I train.

 

So I had to accomodate once again and really this is something I'd wish I'd done earlier. Instead of taking my sets to failure I changed things up and started fooling around with the routines from the "Brawn" book.

 

I tried a couple of different with good and not so good success. My arms seemed to be more receptive than my other bodyparts which I found kind of wierd. Anyway after quite a bit of time I found something that's working for me. Basically I took a weight that I could do 12 reps with. Than I'd add just a tiny, tiny bit of weight and go back down to 8 reps. Next week I'd hit 9, than 10, than 11 and than if everything goes right 12 reps. Repeat once again with just a tiny bit of extra weight. Of course I make sure to warm up throughly with the weights themselves.

 

I may give that method a shot actually, when my wrist heals that is.

 

Do you ever use any machines in your routines or do you stick entirely to free weights?

 

What do you use to work your biceps (eg pull-ups, dumbells, bar, etc)?

 

I hit a roadblock here too but have been taking Phoshagen HP Creatine and it seems to be helping me get over hills. I've never had any success with creatine in the past but here in this routine it's giving that extra push I need.

 

Are there any health risks connected with Creatine or other supplements (I'm not very knowlegdeable on them)?

 

I usually train 3 to 4 times a week. SOmetimes it depens on how tired I am from work.

 

I myself don't weight train anymore than that either (3 is usually my maximum, anything more than that and my muscles just can't heal fast enough).

 

Another question: what do you use for motivation?

 

 

Thank you for sharing your advice with me

[Guest wildpegasus]

I'm mainly refering to people who talk as they lift the weight. I don't understand how they can do it and get a proper workout.

 

 

I don't see how one can do that either. I don't know if it's because I'm concentrating on what I'm doing but I don't notice that too much. Maybe I don't notice it as much because besides for that one time I've never been guilty of initiating a conversation while someone is doing a workset. It's the polite, sensical thing to do. A quick hello or how are you doing between sets is what I say.

 

 

2 hours is FAR too long imo

 

It is though I used to do it all the time. She was doing cardio along with the weights too though. I'm surprised she didn't faint that week.

 

 

Whoa, bending your wrist backwards like that certainly sounds risky. Glad it worked out, though. My wrist is coming along fine, but I'm still having trouble with it.

 

Most of my injuries have actually come from work or other things. Though sometimes I have injured myself training. One my nagging injuries which I think is going to be forever was from wrestling on the hard ground with some friends. I didn't even feel it to afterwards.

 

 

You certainly sound very dedicated. I hope you don't mind me asking this, but what kind of diet do you maintain? Do you do the 6 small meals a day thing opposed to 3 large ones?

 

My diet is not up to par and really it should be. There is no denying how important it is. I'm a vegetarian so I tend to gouge milk and stuff like that. I always eat multiple times a day and just naturally hate eating 3 times a day. But even as a youngster I did that probably due to my high metabolism which I think has slowed down some now.

 

 

I definitely agree with the "Less is more" philosophy. Although 3 sets per bodypart doesn't sound like that much at all (also would that be fitting every body-part into one workout?). How many sets did Arnold do?

 

If I wanted to, I can maintain my muscle (actually, I'm thinking I might lose some now if I were to try to do that) if need be by just doing 1 hard intense set per bodypart (after warmups though which I suppose can be considered as additional sets) every 2 weeks. That doesn't work for me though in gaining muscle, just something I discovered I could do over time. I have heard of hardgainers who have gained by training every 2 weeks though. Mentzer would train after warmups 1 superset (leg extensions followed by squats, pullovers followed by chins, flies followed by presses) every week I think. Ideally I'd love to train more than I do currently but what I do right now is great for letting your joints and tendons recover. Plus along with my work which can be physically draining.

 

 

 

One thing I never tried was those long periodisation plans.

 

If I remember correctly Arnold would train 16 to 20 sets per bodypart diving those up into 3 or 4 different exercises. I forget how long he'd take in between sets and the next workout.

 

As long as you're going forward or not regressing than you must be doing something right.

 

 

 

 

Are there any health risks connected with Creatine or other supplements (I'm not very knowlegdeable on them)?

 

They haven't found anything really wrong with creatine yet. The only possible thing they can think of right now is there's a possibility it could have some effect on the kidneys over a long period of time. Maybe another good reason for cycling creatine? People haven't been on creatine for years and years yet.

 

Protein some people belive is hard on the kidneys though I'm skeptical of this kind of thinking.

 

Some of those testesterone producing supplements they got out know do have side effects similar to steroids and they are something I wouldn't take. They step over the line for me.

 

I have taken the herb Tribulus before though which I believe is pretty safe overall although of course I never took it for an extended period of time since I was paranoid about testesterone levels and all that. It didn't do anything for me but really my main curiosity was if it would increase sexual function since it was reported to do so. I think it may have a little bit. It did worsen my headache.

 

 

I may give that method a shot actually, when my wrist heals that is.

 

What kind of trainee are you? What I mean is do you think of yourself as an easygainer, average or a true hardgainer? What's your bonestructure and bodytype like?

 

I would say to try that routine once you start getting to more of a standstill/sticking point. It's not something I'd tell somebody to do right off the bat. You should also be set for some growth right off the starting gate anyway if you haven't been lifting for a bit.

 

This is the gist of it.

 

Warm up with the weights. I always start light and progress up to the point where I feel I'm adequately warmed up to prevent injury from my main sets.

 

I'm now also a believer of stretching.

 

Stick with the hardcore manly exercises if possible like squats and chins. Technique of course is of upmost importance.

 

The general rule from memory is to take a weight (or maybe even a little less weight) you can normally do 12 reps with. Do a couple sets with said weight for 8 reps. (I have found 1 set works for me, right now I'm kind of scared to jink it with 2). Next week do 9, than 10, than 11 and than 12. Add just a little weight to the bar but make sure not to get too greedy. Go back down to 8 again. Than back up to 9, 10, 11, and than 12. Repeat again with once again a little bit more weight. If you feel you're not recovering strongly enough you can cut back down to 1 set (though this won't work if you get too greedy adding weight to the bar) at the end if you feel you're having too much trouble completing the second set. And/or add a day or even two of rest once you get into your last week or two when you're trying to get you're 11th and 12th reps.

 

I suppose you probably know that once you've had muscle once and than lose it from not training that the 2nd time you start training you gain that muscle back easier than the effort it took to get it in the first place. For me, I can always get up to a high percentage of what I was at before but the last little bit of muclse I had before I stopped is harder to get back.

 

 

 

Another question: what do you use for motivation?

 

I think it's something that's always been inside me. Even before I really realised how skinny I was I wanted to have big muscles like He-Man or Hercules.

 

Maybe part of it is because I grew up on a farm and saw how much easier stuff was to do if one was to become stronger.

 

I'd be lying if I said girls weren't a motivation. I am absolutely horrible around girls being insecure/shy and all so if I can be in shape that's one positive I got on my side.

 

I get a high off of the training especially if I'm doing well with it. Of course one can never truly know since we can't relocate in another person's body but I seem to get more of a high off of it than others do from exercising.

 

Entertainment wise I do find myself gravitating towards stuff I find motivational. That's a big reason why I like wrestling. I always found wrestling when at its best to be very inspiring. With the music I like songs that move me. Ditto with great pieces of television, video games or movies. Certain people motivate me too just by being who they are.

[Guest wildpegasus]

What do you use to work your biceps (eg pull-ups, dumbells, bar, etc)?

 

 

I used to cheat too much on those barbell curls when I was younger.

 

Incline dumbell curls were always my favourite bicep exercise. I would hold them like you would normally hold something by your side and then when I curled them up rotate my wrists so they'd face upwards. You can't cheat on those bad boys!

 

Chinups are how I mostly hit biceps. Truth be known I think I can get my biceps a little stronger by concentrating on them with incline dumbell curls but right now all my energy is into getting my lats stronger. I've always been a fan of having your palms face towards you while doing chinups. People say doing it the other way hits your back better but since the biceps are the muscle that's supposed to fail before your back why would you want to limit your bicep power in a back exercise? I've always been a mark for the longer range of motion you get when you chin with the palms facing towards you as well. If I put my palms the other way I feel I'm not working hard enough.

It should be noted that some people have trouble digesting creatine.
