Once again.. God has provided… I don’t know the exact path i’m supposed to take, but hopefully i’ll see it when it comes time!

Training is good… Low Carb all the time. <30g. FOR THE RECORD: YOU CAN GAIN MUSCLE WITHOUT CARBS!!! And if you’re like me.. thats a great approach to take! Keeps the fat at bay!
My body has finally switched over to using fat for fuel again, and I feel great! This time I wasn’t so crabby. lol

April is coming quick! I’ll keep you all updated…

My first post
I have to be completely honest… I’m anti-supplement now. Well, I shouldn’t say that. I’m anti-Designer Supplement now! Good ol’ Creatine, Glutamine, and BCAA’s are all good in my book! Ok, ok… I’ll admit I LOVE SuperPump 250 though!
Why am I against all these Designer Supplements though?! Honestly, its because of the Supplement Section! lol I’m SOOOO sick of reading all these supplement "stacks" that these 140lb kids are going on. I’m not bashing these kids for being 140lbs though. They’re working their butts off, and we ALL start somewhere. Just, the mentality is all wrong though. Everyone is convinced that without these high dollar supplements, we can’t attain our physique goals! And there’s not much evidence to prove that these supplements are great anyways. Everytime someone does post a before and after shot, its nothing miraculous, or exciting most of the time. To me, it seems like a placebo effect. These kids get on this supplement, and bust their @$$es harder than they usually do, and eat better… The result? They gained 10lbs of muscle. Take away the supplement, but training and eating remain the same.. What could they gain? …. 10lbs of muscle!
I get asked everyday in the gym what I’m on. My response: Creatine, Superpump250, EGGS, EGGS, and more EGGS! For the $50-$60 dollars that it would cost to buy one of these "miracles in a bottle," I can buy a whole lot of meat, potatoes, and eggs!

Everytime I read, "But I do eat a ton!" I just laugh.. Seriously, keep a food log for just ONE week and you’ll see how little you actually eat. Also, you DON’T have to become a big fat fatty to put on muscle. You just need to eat ENOUGH to build muscle. There is no calculation to do that. Just monitor your food, eat clean, and lift like your life depended on it!

Anyways, I guess the point of this rant, is that there needs to be a change… The hard work mentality needs to make a comeback! A little hard work never hurt anybody. Lifting is the easy part. EATING BIG, while eating GOOD, is the hard part!

No supplement is going to make up for your shortcomings in your diet and training… Maybe for a little while, but not in the long run.
