Hey all, I’m 6’2", 223lbs, and been training in a serious manner for bodybuilding for since November of 2009. I’ve done several bulk and cuts since then and after this bulk period I feel I finally have something to offer above and beyond the average as far as the shape of my body. Before training for bodybuilding I lifted weights for high school football and wrestling for 4 years before taking a 2 1/2 year break in college. I am beginning a workout and nutrition log of my first serious cut where I will take before and after pictures and record every meal and workout for 3 months if you care to see how I train and eat. Each month I will post some progress pics of my cut. Let me know what you think
There has always been a considerable amount of mystery and misconception concerning a diet that promotes muscle definition. If you want to achieve saran wrap skin, basically all carbohydrates must be removed from the menu. My diet will consist entirely of meat, poultry, fish and eggs. The only other food products allowed will be butter and heavy cream. Any carbohydrate will come from the small amount in all of these sources that is inescapable as well as a high carbohydrate meal every four or five days. Sometimes this meal will be on the third day since I do physical labor at the moment to pay off my student loans. This can be quite taxing and depletes my glycogen reserves faster then the previous cuts where I was able to maintain for four or five days sans physical labor. My posting of my workout and nutrition log will be at the end of every two days.
So I can abbreviate the supplements I plan on using in the nutrition log I will post them here. If you have any questions about why they are chosen I would be happy to answer but for the sake of everyone reading this I’m not doing a biography of every single one
OTHER SUPPLEMENTS:
My job is physical labor as a merchandiser for Pepsi Co. and as a result receive copious amounts of free Sugar Free Rockstars and Sugar Free Amps. I drink one of either of these at the beginning of my shift at 6am and whenever I feel tired or fatigued on the job. While technically considered supplements, I am not going to monitor or record this. Do the same if you feel it has that big of an impact. 160 mg of caffeine per can along with 2000mg taurine (Rockstar) or 150mg taurine and 200mg L-Carnitine (AMP) and a myriad of things that could be considered small dose supplements
