Let me preface this by saying that I am doing as much research on all of these facets of training as fast and as much as I can so please be patient if I ask a question you think is newbish or if I get something wrong.
Here is my story …
All my life I have been an ectomorph, the skinny guy. My entire family is ectomorphic. Got married 7 years ago, 4 years into the marriage my wife decides to become a vegetarian. Two months later no meat allowed in the house. I am a good cook, my wife is not. Now imagine a bad cook trying to cook with all organic ingredients and no meat and you will picture the chick pea meatloaf that was half green half yellow. So for the last 2.5 years I would just come home and say “Well, I ate late at work I don’t need dinner�, cause the food made me literally puke.
Nov 2004
Wife wants to separate for no apparent reason other than she is a schizoid (like the 5th time she has said that). I look in the mirror and bam it hits me, I look like ****. I jump on scale 5’11� 129lbs, skin and bones. We don’t separate until Jan 05’ because of the holidays and in the mean time I torture her with bringing burgers and pizza home every night and pigging out.

I am the skinny fat guy. I am 142 pounds (this is the most I have ever weighed), the weight I gained is all in my gut and I have developed little bitch tits. I am depressed, suffering from panic attacks and my BP is 140/95 consistently and my PR is 95-105/BPM.
Feb 2005
I get a wild hair up my ass and hire a trainer at a new local studio gym. I am 5’11, 142 lbs., BF 14.4% and literally every muscle I have is in atrophy from years of neglect. He puts me on a mass building program with no diet other than eat as many calories and take in 150g of protein a day. We work mostly one set of warm-up, 4 sets of 4 – 6 reps as heavy as I can go and one burnout set. He mixes and joggles with supersets and strip sets to keep my body shocked and guessing. He is working me 3 – 4 days a week, one muscle group per workout. Oh, and very little cardio just 10 min pre/post walking.
May 2005
Two weeks away from 12 weeks and they fire my trainer. They replace him with a good trainer just different ideology, less structured, more enthusiasm. Work with him two weeks and now I am on a two week hiatus to let my connective tissue catch up with me since I developed a tweak in my hand , one of my big toes and my left tricep.
June 2005
One week left of my break, here are my stats.
Age: 35
Height: 5’11�
Weight: 167
BF: 13.3%
BP: 110/78 -85
PR: 79 – 90
Still got the gut and little bitch tits.
The only supps I took were Cell-Tek and protein powders.
When I go back in 7 days I want to hit it hard, intensity and dedication is not my problem. I think proper nutrition and lack of knowledge about supps, mass building and general physiology are. Hence, I turn to you guys. Is this the information age or disinformation age? I get advice from everyone, it’s all different. I read articles and posting all over the net and they are just as confusing. I am trying to learn as much as possible on my own. This field of nutrition and BB in general is very daunting and very large.
I have received from one of the trainers some M1T and I know I can get my hands on SD. However, I do not think I have reached my natural peak even though the last couple of weeks I was stalling out on size/strength gains. That could have been from the trainer switch, the psychological effect of the switch or my body telling me it is time to rest. I don’t think I know enough about AAS, nutrition, sides or PCT to be taking such potentially dangerous steroids, so I wont. I’ll keep them racked up on the shelf until I know I have peaked and there is no way of pushing past it without them (if that is even a scenario that could exist).
Do I want to be a bodybuilder? No, I want to be healthy, strong and big. I want admiration and I want to pass on my experiences to people like myself.
Is that narcissistic? Yeah, so …..?
Here are my goals for the next 12 weeks …
I want to get up to about 185 pounds of good lean muscle but most importantly I want size.
I want to reduce my BP to 120/80 or less.
I want to reduce my pulse rate to below 80.
This is what I need …
Good sound advice!!!!! And to get rid of this freaking tire and the bitch tits.
What is a good base set up supplements for me to take to help me maximize these next 12 weeks? Ranging from reducing fat storage to helping in mass building, lowering cholesterol and BP.
I will probably follow with many questions, as few as possible, but there will be questions.
Thank you
P.S. Pecs and Legs in general are really hard for me to get size gains in. I gained 80 pounds in bench and 150 in squats in 12 weeks. I am currently benching 195 and squatting 285, both one rep max’s.
