In an attempt to give the over 40 perspective on supplement usage, I will start to review all of the different supplements I have taken over the last year and how they have worked.

Enjoy!

Bulk or Cut how do you know when to do each. Its hard for me at least, cause I feel like I need to add weight in order to add some muscle mass, but I still have areas (like my waist) where I would like to cut.

I started using NO Shotgun to see if I could get my intensity up a little. Seems to be good stuff. Tastes like rotten fermented apples, but if you can plug your nose and chug the stuff it gives great pumps and a high energy workout. It seems to work better after eating a few hours before hand.

I had been having some stomach problems so I decided to switch things aroud. I went back to the old standby (ON 100% Whey) I had been using Cytosport complete whey because it tastse a heck of a lot better. The stomach problems started while I was testing Designer Supplements NO Limits product. I can’t pinpoint the problem with that supp, but since I changed to NO Shotgun, Xtend and Myozene and ON Whey I have not had any stomach problems.

I have really tried to intensify my workouts. I really want to add more mass so I am really busting my buns trying. My diet still sucks. Having to work and having kids really makes it hard.

Here is my latest split. Let me know what you think.

Saturday - Shoulders & Triceps
Smith Machine overhead presses
Alternating side laterals
Alternating front lateral
Bent over laterals
Closed grip bench press
Overhead extensions
Triceps dumbbell throwbacks
Rope pull downs

Sunday - Back and Traps
Lat pull downs
Hammer Strength machine - Rows
Hammer Strength Machine - Overhead
Bent over rows
Dumbbell shrugs
Hanley shrugs

Monday - off

Tuesday - Legs & Forearms
Squats
Incline squats
Leg Presses
Lying extensions
Seated curls
Calf presses
Seated calf raises
Forearm curls

Wednesday - Chest & Biceps
Chest Press
Incline Flys
Hammer Strength - Iso Laterals
Cable Presses
Barbell curls
Concentration curls (With supination)
Hammer Curls
High cable curls

Thursday & Friday - off 

I normally do abs on Leg and back day since it is a faster workout. Not much cardio right now since I am really trying to add mass instead of cut, plus the intensity of my workouts and the Redline in the NO Shotgun really helps you burn.

I’d like to hear what you think about the splits.

Thanks.

What do you think?

Did a great leg workout today. One change I made was not to take my Hyper Shock before my workout instead I took two lipo 6.  I still don’t think the hyper shock is doing anything for me.

Seated Leg Extentions
Seated Leg Curls
Seated Leg Presses
Seated Calf Presses
Ab Crunch
Squat..Squat.. Squat.
I normally try to do cardio too right after my workout. Rode the bike for 20 minutes at 100rpms. Normally I try to run but I couldn’t after a hard workout today.

Did upper body today. Was not too excited even though I used the Myogenics Hyper Shock. You can feel the NOs power through your muscles as you work out, but I’m not getting that burst I thought I would get.

Dumbell Presses
Militray Press
Reverse Military Press
Front Flys
Rear Delts
Deltoid Presses
Tricep Pulldowns
Lat Pulldowns
Preacher Curls
Shoulder Shrugs
Forearm curls

Recently got an online personal trainer and am looking forward to working with him on my nutrition and training program. I am more concerned about the nutrition because its so confusing. What’s a good carb, bad carb, High Glycemic Index blah blah blah… You could go crazy figuring all this stuff out.

Tomorrow is lower body and abs. Hope to get some better energy. I have to say, I feel more pumped taking 2 lipo 6 right before my workout than using the Hyper Shock. I am a little disappointed with it. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
