Hello!
First off, I want to thank CTDeuce and whole crew of Millennium Sport Technologies for selecting me to log their pump product Nitroceps Elite. I also received quite a few samples from them. Click to resize.
A few words about me and my training
I tell you few words about my training history... I've trained regularly since 2008. My training was always "powerbuilding" kind of training... Bodybuilding with as big weights as possible. I turned to the "dark side" last autumn and I soon realized that I gain strength easier than muscle mass. I participated in one powerlifting meet in last December... Did only deadlifts there because of minor injuries. I pulled 480lbs @ 175lbs and soon after that I started to work with a powerlifting coach.
My training template is supposed to be like this:
1. Squat + bench press + accessory work
2. Rest or HIIT cardio
3. Deadlift + bench press + accessory work
4. Rest or HIIT cardio
5. Squat + bench press + accessory work
6. Bodybuilding for upper back, biceps, delts and calves
7. Rest or HIIT cardio
Weights will be moderate but volume and frequency are quite high.
However, I have had some problems with both biceps tendons last few weeks so I'll have to modify it a little. Right now this means that I'll do bench press only once per week until my arms heal. I'll probably also not do any direct work to my biceps on "bodybuilding" day - and very little work to upper back too. Hopefully I get better soon, because I have two meets coming - first in March and second in April.
Diet
My diet is not set in stone, but I have few things that I'll eat every day. On training days my diet is pretty close to this:
1. 250 grams of quark, 900 grams of yoghurt, 10 grams of peanuts
2. Intra workout drink (2dl of maltodextrin and 9 grams of BCAA's)
3. Post workout shake (1,25dl of whey protein and 1,25dl of maltodextrin)
4. 100 grams of whole grain rice, 200 grams of chicken/beef/salmon, 4dl of milk, 10 grams of peanuts
5. 4 slices of dark, bread, 3 boiled eggs, butter, ham, vegetables, 4dl of milk, 10 grams of peanuts
6. 100 grams of whole grain rice, 200 grams of chicken/beef/salmon, 4dl of milk, 10 grams of peanuts
7. 250 grams of quark, 900 grams of yoghurt, 10 grams of peanuts
Many of you may think that this is excessive amount of food but no, it's not too much for me. I don't put on weight easily.
Goals
I'll complete in 181lbs weight class so my goal is to lean bulk.. Gaining few pounds of lean body mass and ****loads of strength during the process would be great. However, what I'm hoping for Nitroceps Elite is huge pumps. My training is NOT pumping but I friggin' love pumps! I want to feel blood flowing to my muscles. If I'll get something else (strength gains, endurance, improved sexual performance) out of Nitroceps, that's of course good thing.
Other supplements that I'm using
Like I said earlier, I use performance enhancing drugs. Right now I'm on TRT dose (200mg/week) of test only but I'll add something to the mix closer to my meet. On my application I said that I'll be using Blackstone Labs' Epi Smash but I will probably go with some other product from BSL.
My daily supplement protocol includes fish oil and vitamin C... On training days I also take BCAA's, whey protein and maltodextrin. Nothing too fancy.
Pics and vids
These pics were taken January 12th. Haven't changed much since then (surprise, 11 days is not much) so these are the "before" pics.. The tricep pose was taken November 30th... My chicken legs were not visible in those two new pics so I had to use this old one. Click to resize.
I'll also take few training vids every now and then and upload them here.
