I'm new to the AM family and looking to get lean! I started lifting two years ago but have become more consistent and serious about it in the last year. My goal is to drop body fat and become as lean as I can, maintain that lean-ness while also building a strong, healthy body. Ballet is my profession so I am wary about how much size I gain.
Over the last year I have also gotten my diet fairly in check. I have found that low carb, high protein works the best and I've seen a significant improvement. It's hard staying away from the salty, crunchy snacks!
SUPPLEMENTS:
Alphamine - 1 yr ago; the beginning of a leaner body. I felt more cut and the caffeine got me goin. Stopped using it because I noticed my BO had gone fishy. It wasn't until recently I learned that was due to the choline.
AnaBeta: summer 2013;
Alpha T-2 - Aug 2013; after losing a bit of fat I found it helped me maintain my physique and I enjoyed the thermogenic quality.
ThermoCore - March 2014; picked this up at the Arnold Classic. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it.
I'm on my last leg of Norcodrene which has been my favorite supp so far. The appetite suppressant has been my saving grace.
DIET:
13-1500 cals
Protein - 1 g per lb of body weight
Fat - 40-50 g
Carbs - less than 100 g, 150 g on reload days
TRAINING:
Lap swimming 2x wk 20-30 laps
Shoulders, bi's, tri's 1x wk
Back, legs, abs 1x wk
Elliptical HIIT 2x wk 15-25 mins, 1 min on:30 sec rest
I've begun to incorporate suicides on my interval days, as well.
Anything helps!!
