increased weights
Everything is going great with respect to lifting, unfortunately I’ve been quite lax on the cardio, but have maintained due to intense weight training with supersets and a healthy diet. I’ve been really enjoying focusing on weight training, I really do love it. I have decided and purchased the BSN stack of NO Xplode and Cell mass for pre and post w/o, respectively. I have some more Superpump 250 that I want to use up. I think it works fine, but I really do not like the taste of it. In my opinion, BSN makes superior supplements. I also include Optimum Whey in my stack for protein servings throughout the day. It tastes very good, and it is very low carb, low fat, and also low priced.
I’ve been having a serving of whey as part of the pre-workout regimen as it was recommended in a magazine I read to increase your workout intensity and pumps. At first I was reluctant because I thought the dairy products mixed with the N.O. products would give me a stomach ache, but there was no discomfort.
This has been my routine for pre/post workout
- Pre-workout, mix 1 scoop of superpump with 1 full glass of water, 2 times. Then also mix and consume 2-4 ounces of milk, 8-10 ounces of water, and 1 scoop of whey (24g protein) . The superpump tastes really bad so it needs to be diluted quite a bit and it also has to sit in the water for about 5 minutes before it’s all the way dissolved otherwise it tastes like eating medicine.
- Drive over to the gym and do weight training, starting with cardio as a warm-up for 10-20 minutes.
- Do the following supersets, rotating each day between the 4 cycles.
- Shoulders/Abs
- Chest/Bi’s
- Legs/Abs
- Back/Tri’s
- I no longer do the abs everyday, I do them every other day but I to them weighted, instead of just my own body weight.
- Anyway, when I’m finished I bring my empty, dry shaker bottle with a scoop of CellMass in it and I add water to it and drink immediately post w/o
- Then I go home, I don’t rush, but i don’t dawdle either, and about thirty minutes after the creatine, I have a post w/o protein shake with 8 oz of milk and 1 1/2 to 2 scoops of whey to continue my recovery by converting my body back into an anabolic state.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been doing for my workouts and it seems to be working well, this week I have been moving up almost all my weights to make sure I’m not stuck at 1 place and I continue to see progress in strength which will equate to an awesome body! LOL
Keep Lifting!
