  • Fish Oil
  • Flax Seed Oil
  • Potassium
  • Whey Protein
  • Creatine
  • Calcium
  • L-Glutamine
  • Higher Power Chromium Picolinate
  • Controlled Labs Orange Triad
  • ECA Stack (When My Health Improves)

I used the ECA stack for the last 2 months a few years ago and it was effective.  I am aware of the health risks, but I monitor my blood pressure, pulse, and pH levels almost daily when I use it.

My goal is to be 200lbs with 175-180lbs lean mass by 12/31/2007, which would put me at 10-12.5% bodyfat.  I need to start eating healthier and being more active.  As a programmer/systems admin I do not get out as much as I used to and it is very difficult to eat healthy in my currently living situation.  I will be back on my own in a month or so and back into my old routine of 5 small meals a day, supplements, and going to the gym at 5am.

I’m sure some think the 5am is a bit much, but while I work better through the night, I feel better doing things the other way around, early to rise, early to bed.  I will try hard to keep this blog updated and any encouragement or update requests would help me to keep on a schedule so I don’t disappoint my readers.
