Who Am I?
- Age: 29
- Sex: M
- Height: 5'9"
- Weight: 237
- Body type: classic Mesomorph
- Est. BF% : 11% based on 3 point skin fold - i know i don't look it in my washed out pics and my soft powerlifting appearance from my low rep training...but the skin fold doesn't appear to be lying as you can still see my abs from the side shot and the front even so. But yes i agree i don't look it.
Training experience (as much detail as possible.. TELL US ABOUT WHY we should choose you!!):
I'm a powerlifter. I trained inconsistently in the 90s going through high school and while completing my undergraduate degree. Began training seriously in 2001, and started powerlifting in 2002. I am a very dedicated lifter..almost to the point of being obsessive. I trained 4 days a week right up to my wedding this summer. I have built a basement powerlifting gym where i train a few guys, but have a hell of a time finding anyone that will train with the level of intensity and detirmination I need. My current bests were achieved about 2 years ago when i was still entering competitions regularly. 578bench, 672squat, 650 deadlift. I had only been squating for 6 months at that time. I have since done an easy 605 bench in the gym and done 700x3 on the squat, and pulled 725x3 form mid shin. All these were done last summer when i was 260@18%+. I'm definelty weaker after my cut.
Current Training Schedule / Protocol (as much detail as possible):
I follow a modified Westside program.
Monday - dynamic effort deadlift or box sqauting followed by assistance work on traps, side delts, and bi's. possible lowerback work as well.
Tuesday - Maximum effort training on bench followed by triceps and shoulders
Wed-off
Thursday- Maximum effort training on squats followed by hamstring and lowerback
Friday - Dynamic effort bench followed by Lats, rear delts, and bi's if there is time.
Cardio Schedule/Protocol (as much detail as possible):
No Cardio - i know I'll take flak on that one but my aggressive training seems to maintain good cardio vascular health. BP is 110 over 55 and resting heart rate is less than 50bpm.
Current supplements (exact brand/product name):
Fish oil - Kirkland
CLA - Bulk Nutrition
Sesamin - Scivation
EsterC - Natrol
Performance Multi - Kirkland
Super Milk Thistle - Enzymatic Therapy
NAC - Now
pght - Universal kits
Current Nutrition and Macros (as much detail as possible):
30/50/20 protein/carbs/fats. my maintenance calories is around 3800 during mild training and goes up to around 4500 calories when training aggressivly. I get a minimum of 300-375grams of protein and adjust my carbs based on my training levels. Mostly whole grain, whole foods, and minimal to any processed food. I use all organic products whenever possible. This is pretty easy as I use an organic deliver service that drops everything off once a week. However i do go out to eat once every week or so and may indulge in a burger and fries at a decent restuarant.
Current Daily water intake:
1 to 1.5 gallons
Short Term Goal:
Get my composition to 250lbs at 10%bf to maximize my muscle mass in the 242lb class (dropping 8lbs water for weigh ins and reconstituting) remember powerlifting not BBing.
Long Term Goal:
All in the 242lb class
Squat 900+
Bench 700+
Deadlift 800+
ANY and ALL Prescription / Non-Prescription / Recreational drugs (for the last 60 days)
couple beers about a month ago.
Supplement history (as much detail as possible):
Now that is a question. I think the best i can do is catagories and some companies that i've tried pretty much their whole line.
I've taken numerous types of: creatine's, NO prodcuts, PH products (been 1 year since last use and 1.5 since meythlated compunds), and natural Test Boosters such as Activate and Diesel Test.
Companies i've taken many of their product offerings: ALRI, Get Diesel, Designer Supps, USP, Anabolic Extreme, Thermolife, Gaspari.
I'm sorry that is the best i can do, i've tried so many supps I can't remember
Other product reviews / logs you have done (with links):
I've only done one, but it was a detailed 18 week log.

I've been thinking of doing another log so the timing is perfect.
Do you have ANY injuries presently that limit your training (explain)none
