My first fitness blog
Ok guys starting the 1st of September of the year I will be starting my first Bodybuilding blog. In this blog I plan on doing 12 weeks of hardcore training with a clean bulking diet. During this blog I will be eating clean all week and be enjoying each Saturday as my cheat day. For my first 2 weeks I will post daily meals including supplement and water intake. I will also be weighing my self each week every Saturday. This will be an in depth blog no BS no secrets in which I plan on adding 6-8Lbs of pure muscle in 12 weeks.
I will be posting a picture of me here on the 31st of August and posting pictures once every 2 weeks to show the significant gains and improvements I am making during the whole clean bulking cycle.
Supplements I will be taking during my first 3 weeks:
-Six Star — No Fury — 1 scoop/ED
-Equate Flax oils — 1g per cap 3 caps/ED
- Equate multivitamins — 1/ED
- Equate vitamin C caps — 1g/ED
- Optimum Tribulus 625 — 3/ED
- Jameson vitamin B12 250mcg — 2/ED
- Optimum ZMA — 3/ed

Only days away from starting my new program in which I have some bad news starting out. On Thursday night after finishing my back workout and moving into a bicep workout I did something careless.I accidentally squat my pinkie finger. "How did he do This”? I was getting ready to start doing some reverse e-z bar curls with 2 x 25lbs plates on the bar, and taking it off the preacher bench the gym owner called out to me. As I looked up I had ended up slipping forward an squatting my pinkie finger between the bar and the bar that is attached to the preacher bench. This will not stop me from training as I cannot lift with this had for at least a week as recommended by the doc. So I will train legs twice this week hardcore on the hams an quads, then right into our new program as mentioned above.
Stay tuned…

Ok guys here we go. Today is the beginning of a 12 weeks Hardcore training Body blog transformation. I will be adding some Niacin with my training program starting at 250mgs ED for 4 weeks.
How is the whole finger squatting coming along?
I am hoping that by the end of the week now I will be able to get full use of my left had as for now and exercises that require holding of the barbel or dumbbell will be done but with lighter than usual weights. During the beginning of my workout I will have pictures taken of a front relax and rear relaxed pose. For those who have been visiting my blog thank you.

My new addition to my Supplement list is Six Star Nitric Oxide Overdrive. I am taking 3 in the morning and 3 pre workout never noticed any differ today just finished my container of No Fury today which is an excellent pre workout drink. I’m sorry guys but I was unable to get a chest workout video last night as I was the only person at the gym working out so I keep my weight down to 225 for Max sets.
Last nights workout was horrible as I had started at 8:45pm and only got half a workout in as I grew tired as hell not being to such a late night workout.

What an exciting Week-end, as Jay Cutler made Bodybuilding history.as last year Jay lost his Mr.O title and come back again this year to win it back. Now today is a new week in my Clean bulk. I will weigh myself tomorrow and prov progress pics and a new video. I have 4 weeks left to my Chest program in which this second half of the program I will prioritize my upper chest, with mostly incline pressing exercises. I am also going supplement shopping to see what I can add to my new list as I only have a couple days left of my Six Star Nitric Oxide Overdrive.
I’m looking to get something to aide with packing on a little size during my, next 4-5 weeks, If anyone has any suggestions please let me know what works for you.
