In about 2 weeks I plan on starting a run of some USP products. I wanted to have you guys take a look at my product line up and dosing and let me know if I am missing anything or going overboard on anything.

I am male, 26 years old.
Current weight: approx 153 lbs.
Current height: 5'8"
Current bf%: (according to LA Fitness yesterday) 9.4%

Here is a picture of me just so you can get a feel for where my body structure is. Please ignore the fact that this is a complete "myspace" shot. I never have anyone that can really take pics of me in my "muscle" poses.



Over the last year and a half, I have dropped from a lazy, non-muscular 235 lbs (32% bf), to a fairly lean, athletic 150 lbs. (9% bf). I train in MMA (recreationally) 2-3 days/wk. I get 3-4 days/wk of resistance training, and cardio 3-4 days/wk. Obviously some days I do both cardio and strength training.

My diet is very clean, approx 2200 calories, with a macro breakdown of approx 50/30/20 (p/c/f) with all complex carbs besides post-w/o meal and the occasional breakfast fruit. Protein comes from lean meats and whey shakes.

My goal for this stack is a lean-bulk. I have now gotten a good majority of the fat off that I wanted to lose, but I am ready to start putting some muscle on. I don't however want to go on a huge 3500 calorie bulking diet and gain a lot of fat back. It is summer time after all and I'm finally comfortable without a shirt.

STACK:

BULK 1-CARBOXY - 660mg caps - 2 caps before breakfast, 2 caps before lunch, 1 cap before bed.
VAT ATTACK - 725mg caps - 2 caps before breakfast, 2 caps before lunch, 1 cap before bed.
PRIME - 2 caps with each major meal.
RECREATE - 2 caps before breakfast, 1 cap before pre w/o meal
ANABOLIC PUMP - 1 cap 20 min before each major meal w/ ~65g carbs
PSLIN - 1 cap 15 min before morning meal OR 1 cap 15 min before pre w/o meal (meals containing ~65g carbs)
JACK3D - 2 scoops pre w/o

Multi-Vitamin - 1 cap w/ Am meal, 1 cap w/ afternoon meal
Salmon Oil - 1 cap w/ each major meal
Tonalin CLA - 1 cap w/ each major meal
Green Tea Extract - 2 caps w/ AM meal, 2 caps w/ afternoon meal
COq10 - 1 cap w/ Am meal, 1 cap w/ afternoon meal
Chromium Picolinate - between AM and afternoon meal

American Whey Protein
Optimum Nutrtion BCAA Powder
GNC Creatine Monohydrate Powder

These products are all something I already have, but I am not currently taking anything besides the Multi-vitamin, Salmon Oil, Whey Protein, BCAA's, Creatine Mono, and Jack3d.

how long do u plan to be bulking for?

I didn't necessarily have a time frame in mind. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on that as well. I just reached one goal, so now I'm moving on to the next. Ultimately I would like to be about 185 Lbs @ approx 7-8% bf.

I think your lower than 9% in that photo.. how did you measure. That's a nice lineup of supps you have there.

that pic was taken about a week or two ago so thats where i am now. LA fitness has a handheld device that said i was at 9.4% 3 or 4 days ago. im sure a caliper test would be much more accurate...

If you're using VAT, Recreate, and AP in a lean bulk with calories 500 over maintenance, you probably will put on very little fat.

ok great. that's what I was hoping to hear

Yah I have you between 7 and 8 in that photo. Don't know where the extra 1 or 2% could be hiding

Good to know. Thanks DW. I'm not well versed in spotting body compositions so I usually just have to take some undereducated LA Fitness "trainer"'s word for it...

So how are the program and supplement lineup going?

good job on the weight loss bro, from somebody who got up to 215 (and prob. 30% bf) a few years ago.

just a couple things that I would do in your situation: if you're not taking any of this stuff (esp. prime/powerfull/ap/slin) yet I would err on the higher calorie side with those as long as you're getting enough calorie burn with exercise. With the Prime, you'll get a constant recomp; with PF you will get a big constant pump and AP/slin do the same but somewhat different (my experience, at least but I also get a huge energy rush from 1-c/powerfull).

as for results of all that it would probably help to perhaps phase stuff in week by week if you haven't taken them yet. I started with Cissus, ReCreate & AP first, then moved on to PF and eventually to Prime & all the powders.

not sure if that helped at all...if it did I can add more but don't want to bore anyone. I'm sure if you can get dreamweaver and snags to input more info you won't be worse off.
