Switchin’ it up!

So I know I haven’t been very involved with bodyspace for awhile now but just thought I’d drop a line of what’s been going on here in good ole’ MI…I’ve started as of a couple of weeks ago uped my caloric intake to about 3400 and added about 50g more of carbs and about 20g of fat….I also have been keeping my reps around 6-10 instead of 10-12..I’ve started school but I’ve made some great gains. I’ve put on about 8lbs and have kept my abs and mincreased my squat and bench by about 5lbs..Not much but every bit helps! Hoping to put on about 10 more lbs then cut the fat before spring break in Mexico…Well that’s it take it easy guys, Mark

New Routine!

Just thought I would share my thoughts on a new routine I began laid out by Nick Paniagua. Most of you know him as XNick EdgeX. I have had trouble with plateauing in the past and thought if anyone could get me past this into the next level it would be him judging by his pictures and progress. The routine is very intense. Three days a week I do weight training and the other two days I do cardio. Today I started the routine with chest, back and abs. There were about 12 different exercises at a gruleing pace. Not to mention the 5 minutes of high intensity cardio to start off with! I was so exhausted after chest and abs I had to go home for about a half an hour to refuel before returning to finish off with back. This routine is by NO MEANS TO INTENSE just something I was not used to doing. From the first day I can already see that I will be pushed by Nick to achieve a body that I could only have hoped for. I sincerely recomend that if you wish to take your fitness to the next level contact Nick to create a routine and diet plan for you!

My own Journey….

I have now competed in my first ever bodybuilding competition. After 2 months of extensive dieting and training I have achieved what I never thought possible. As a kid I was always picked on for being the scrawny kid who couldn’t play contact sports. Now I believe I have come full circle.

The Holliday Season!!!

Wow! I don’t know what every one else thinks, but I can’t believe Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is on the way. Plenty of good food to eat, hopefully myself and everyone else looking to put on some mass will do just that! Well I’m out Happy Hollidays!!!

In the past 2 weeks I decided to take my Storm reguarly and began drinking 1 gallon or more of water a day. I’ve put on about 3 lbs and have seen growth in my pecs especially. My lifts have all gone up after going down a few months back. Hopefully success will continue.

Right on Track!

I’m begining to see results. Just look at my pic! I still need to work especially on my chest and most importantly my legs, but it’s along journey right? I’m hopping to compete in some power lifting contests this summer and if all goes well with my legs doing my first show sometime next year, peace

Time to get serious!

I have started changing my diet no more junk like chips and candy. I eat at least a serving of each food gruop for every meal. My training has been steped up from a program of high weight, reps btw. 2-5 for 2 sets to 8-12 reps, moderate-heavy weight for 4 sets.I train 5-6 times a week for about 1 and 15 min.
