Age: 25

Sex: Male

Height: 5'8

Weight: 180

Bodytype: Mesomorph

Goal: Continue to enjoy bodybuilding and gain more experience in competing in Natural Shows

Training experience (as much detail as possible.. TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF ! ! ):
I do remember a specific moment, where the “light-bulb” went off and I knew I was doing what I loved to do. It was about 3 months into my bodybuilding career. I was lifting 4 days a week and ending my workouts with a 20-minute cardio session. That particular day, I was on the flat bench doing one arm Tricep Kickbacks. I rolled up my sleeve because it kept getting in the way and there I found something that I had never seen before- a defined muscle! Then and there, I knew I had found a passion.
Now, five years later I am hitting the gym as hard as ever. My diet has come a long way as well. I have learned when and what to eat in order to achieve the results I want. My training is constantly improving as well. I have a fantastic partner and we push ourselves to the limit every single time we work out. I recently competed in my first show and I won the Short Class in the 2005 PRO/AM Natural NBI Bodybuilding Show held in Tarrytown, NY on October 1, 2005. At the end of December I’ll be starting my preparations for another NBI show to be held on March 11, 2005.


Current Training Schedule / Protocol (as much detail as possible): My workouts are incredibly consistent. The first step in succeeding in anything is committing yourself 100% to a goal. My initial goal was just to get myself in shape and lose some excess weight. Once that happened, my goal changed. I then shifted my focus towards gaining muscle. I always have my sights set on a new goal, that is what helps me stay committed. Now my goal is to compete in as many shows as possible. Setting small goals and being able to accomplish them is a very satisfying thing.
The workout plan that has worked best for me is my current training regimen. This is my off-season or bulking training schedule. During the off-season I keep cardio to a minimum (often two times a week) and only work my abs twice a week.
I am currently working in a split where i hit chest twice a week, back once, thighs once, arms once on a seperate day, shoulders once, calves twice, forearms twice and abs 3x a week.

Cardio Schedule/Protocol (as much detail as possible): 4 times a week, 20 minutes a day, first thing in the morning

Current supplements: Gultamine, BCAA, Optimum Whey Protein Powder, Substance WPI Protein Powder, Liver Pills, Amino 2222, Dextrose, Creatine Ethal Ester, Animal Pak

Current Diet and macros (as much detail as possible): High protein, moderate healthy fats and progressivly lower carbs. Currently I am taking in 240g Protein, 50g Fats, 150g Carbs.

Current Daily water intake: 2 gallons per day, nothing less

ANY and ALL Prescription / Non-Prescription / Recreational drugs: no alcohol, pre-contest, no drugs

Supplement history (as much detail as possible): Protein Powders, Amino Acids, 1-AD, Creatine, Gluatmine

I just got some of that "Xplode-Reload" at the discount table at Vitamin Shoppe (not at GNC) for 50% off! I usually scan the the discount table first since I am a family man with a mortgage and car payments.Though I have payed full price for other supplements in the past, I am on a very tight budget now.Gaspari Superpump & Size On were the best, as for pump and density. The Superpump and BSN No-Xplode both give an intense mind rush. MHP Trac with NO didn't compare and the Phosphagen Elite gives a flush that makes me itch, though the Beta-analine gives me some extra boost during the burn.So I compare everything to the results of the Gaspari products, because I wish I could afford them.I took my first serving of Thermolife Xplode-Reload on Friday June 9 on my off day.Saturday morning I took a serving first thing. Then after a while I had one scoop protein powder. After that I took another serving on Xplode-Reload, worked out, and then had a third.I took a serving again on Sunday and then this morning. It's 11:30pm and I still have dense biceps.
I do not have any medical conditions
I do not have any "pending reviews" from any other supplement company.Age: 33

Height: 6'
Weight: 190
Bodytype: Hard-Gainer, high metabolism, thin wth soccer legs, blood type O-
Goal: Mass: bigger chest, shoulders, and back; Burn fat: for a Six-Pack

I started weight training in Junior High and a little in High School until I dropped out. School wasn't for me. I got a job at Kinko's and played in a rock band every weekend. My weight training was forgotten until I ended up working at a GNC in my late 20's. I was so bored I read all the reference books about nutrition and bodybuilding. And when I read Bill Phillip's "Body for Life" I was moved. It reminded me of my High School dreams and idolizing Conan and Rambo.I started training with the new ammunition of knowledge and structure of Bill Phillip's book.I trained for about 4 or 5 months but gave it up when I kept getting really sick with colds.I thought I was taking enough Vitamins and stuff, but I kept getting colds. I was doing the "German Volume Training from Bill Phillip's "Supplement Review" book, and I must have over-trained. I now I realize I wasn't getting enough Glutamine. Now I'm back after getting married, with two beautiful children ages 7mo. and 3yrs. and it's more challenging now to find time to workout. I work 12hr. shifts and end up weight training before bed or before dawn, but I get it done.
Current Training Schedule / Protocol (as much detail as possible):
I have created my own version of X-reps (because I cannot afford their book, I read everything I can online) though with shorter rests for more pump.I work upper body every 5 days. And lower body now and then because I am on my feet and walking 12hrs every two days at my job.Basically I do 3 sets compound and 3 sets isolation for each muscle group:
Example: Chest
Incline Bench Dumbbell Press
50lbs x2 12reps rest 1min
60lbs x2 10reps + partials drop set
40lbs x2 8 partial reps + hold rest 2min
Incline Bench Flye
20lbs x2 7+3pulse reps rest 1min
25lbs x2 4+4pulse reps drop set
15lbs x2 3+3pulse reps rest 2min
Then on to shoulders; back; triceps; biceps; forearms; traps; abs.
(sometimes I will double up on a chosen muscle group and do 12 total sets for that group.)

Other product reviews / logs you have done (with links):
One post a while ago about Superpump:
I am not new to weight training, but just starting again after a few years off (age 33) So I fall into a beginner status and I am making good gains over the past few months (thanks to Bill Phillips).<br>I would not take any ephedrine at all while using any Nitric Oxide/AKG product.<br>I used to use way too much ephedra/ephedrine. I tried to quit a couple times until I finally stopped when I started using AKG and noticed a big difference without it.<br>Now I just use a lot of caffine to get through my 12hour work-shift. <br>I just finished a tub of BSN NOxplode and now I just got some Superpump250 to tryout.<br>I have gotten a little bigger since stacking the NOxplode with Leukic and eating like hell for 2 weeks and then dieting for a week and repeating.<br>If you are using Superpump250 I would not stack with fat burners.<br>I would use it to bulk up and eat eat eat, fat too! Work out heavy (check out X-reps) and then back off after 2-3weeks.<br>Then take the ephedrine and stack with Leukic, HMB, MuscleArmor, or some kind of muscle sparing product while you diet and cut for 1-2 weeks.<br>This is how I trained in the past and lost a lot of fat and beer-belly.<br>I hope this is helpful.<br><br>T13
