Starting back in January I was 200 pounds and off of a one month break from training. For the first month I used no supplements, just lifted and ate. On Feb. 12 I started taking Olympian Labs Fish Oil (6 g/day) Centrum Multi, EAS Phosphagen (5g/day) and Higher Power Glutamine (10 g/day). In between January and March 14 I put on 10 pounds. I realize many of you are thinking it is weird that I didn’t have a whey supplement going, but I was getting well over two hundred grams of protein from food alone anyway and I just wanted to see how training would be without it. They are supplements not requirements remember? I didn’t really feel I needed it.

On May 14 I decided to add ZMA back in so I started Primaforce ZMA. Continued everything until June 18th when I dropped Phosphagen and added T-bomb II. At this point I was 219 lbs and figured creatine had pretty much served its purpose fro a while. So I was off creatine type product for about three weeks. Then I started my new NO/creatine supp which was NAno Vapor. Bad ass stuff- great pumps and some awesome intensity. I also started taking whey again. I figured after a few months of ZMA and a few weeks of T-Bomb II it might be time to start taking more protein. Optimum Gold Standard is what I was using at the time. July 8th I started 6-OXO. I liked it. Hardend up quite a bit, which is what one should do with less estrogen. My strength also started going through the roof also. At this point I had put on another 5 pounds and was up to 224… 5 pounds in three weeks is not bad, especially when your waist gets smaller. On August 7 I added Novedex HT by Gaspari just for the hell of it. I was going to be quitting the T-Bomb soon (Aug 20.) and the 6-OXO at the end of August and I kinda wanted to make this little anabolic ride last longer, as well as test something else I was curious about. So the Novedex HT actually carried me for about a week longer By the end of August and the beginning of September I had reached a peak weight of 225 with a 32.5 inch waist.

In summary in the 8 months between Jan and the middle of August I put on 25 pounds. My waist remained the same size, I added .25″ to my arms, 1″ to my chest, 1″ to my shoulders, 1″ to my legs, .25″ to my calves, my forearms stayed about the same and my neck grew 1″. As far as strength goes I added 26 pounds to my push press (on top of my all time best) 175 pounds to my barbell row (on top of my all time best) 25 pounds to my barbell curl ( ditto) 108 pounds to my squat (super stoked there) and my dead lift and bench bests weren’t actually moved any forward but I was tied with my all time best in the dead and almost back there in the bench, which I was happy with. The bench is a pain in the ass lift for me. I have to really focus on it to get it somewhere and I ofen have to sacrifice something else to get it strong. But I do still want to break four hundred pounds one of these days…

By mid September when I got hurt I was maintaining at 223-225 and was just getting stronger and harder. I was eating a lot (greater than 5k- I have a fast metabolism trust me) and training with super intense workouts that lasted 45-55 minutes. I was back to only supplementing with Optimum Whey, Olympian Labs Fish Oil, Higher Power Glutamine and Prima ZMA.

During the two months I was injured I cut the supplements besides whey and a multi, but cut the whey way back. I was only training in a limited fashion, no need to throw supps away on that. I did manage to maintain a lot of mass in that time (215-218) but I have lost a lot off my chest and shoulders. Now I’m passed that though and am looking forward to continuing on to 240. Good training to all.
