I can’t tell you all how happy and excited I am to be nearing the end of a 3-month workout that really, really WORKED!  In the last 2.5 months I have gained more size and strength that I ever thought possible.  Thanks to heavy lifting (5 reps) and heavy eating (3400 calories/day) none of my clothes fit right and friends ask if I am dabbling in steroids.  I had been working out for 20 years and though I have shown steady progress I have not experienced these types of gains (in my fourties, no less!) ever.

At the beginning of March I will re-test my strength and see i I did, indeed, increase my major lifts by 25%.  But if anyone is curious on how I did it, check out my workout logs for the program.  As for diet, just focussed on getting my 1g-1.5g per pound of bodyweight per day.  The carbs and fat took care of themselves as I could eat almost anything I wanted to make up for the rest of the calories.  Supplements were: creatine, Tribulus Terrestris (crap, but I paid for it so I took it), BCAAs, whey protein, beta-alanine, mulitivitamin, fish oil capsules (more for health than mass gains).
