DIET:
BULKING, BABY!!!!!!!! :woohoo:
God it feels good to be off my perpetual cut!!
:food: :food: :food:
Eating is one of my favorite things in the world to do, and I don't skimp on food. I am very meticulous with my diet, and I'm not the type to get tempted into eating crap. Monday through Friday my diet does not stray at all. Weekends my timing is usually a little off and I might miss a meal, but I will usually just combine more food into my other meals to make up for it. Sometimes I have a cheat meal once a week, sometimes I don't. Cheat meals for me are sushi, bbq, burgers, things like that; they are generally still very high in protein.
According to Fitday, my workout day caloric intake is >5,752, and non-workout days is 4,791. LOL. I didn't realize it was that high, but I was losing weight at 3,700kcal, so what the heck.
43/30/27 P/C/F
Some people might say I am over-eating, and some people might say I am taking in too much protein (540g), but I'm sticking with what I've been doing cuz it works for me.
Additionally, I drink at least 2 gallons of water every day, probably closer to 3. I rarely drink anything that isn't water.
I will also be abstaining from alcohol completely while running this cycle.
Meals are as follows:
Meal 1:
1 cup oatmeal, ground flax seed, 1 scoop ON, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, 1 cup egg whites, 2 whole eggs, cheddar cheese
Meal 2:
BIG chicken breast, spinach, almonds, 1 apple
Meal 3:
Tuna sandwich with salsa & mustard, & ground flax seed on 15-grain, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop ON
Meal 4:
BIG chicken breast, spinach, 1 tomato, 100g whole grain pasta
Pre-workout meal:
1 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop ON
Post-workout meal:
1 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop ON, 1 banana
Meal 5:
BIG chicken breast, spinach, 1 tomato, 100g whole grain pasta
Meal 6:
3/4 lb. 93% lean ground beef, spinach, cheddar cheese
Yes, I love oatmeal & protein. LOL.
I take 4 Anabolic Pumps on workout days, 3 on non. AP before meals 1, 3, & my pre- and post-workout meals. Non-workout days I take my 3rd AP before meal 5.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAINING:
(Preliminary. Still polishing this up.)
I will be utilizing a new routine while on this cycle, consisting of 4 parts (labeled A1, B1, A2 & B2 below).
'A' workouts will consist of Legs, Shoulders, & Arms.
'B' Workouts will consist of Back, Chest, Calves, & Traps
I will hit the gym 3 days a week (M, W, F), so I will be working each body part twice in any given 4 or 5-day period.
Weeks 1 & 2 will consist of 12-15-rep sets.
Weeks 3 & 4 will consist of 8-10 rep sets. (Heavier)
Weeks 5 & 6 will consist of 4-6 rep sets. (Heavier)
I hope to break some PR's by Week 6.

ANABOLIC EDGE by PALO ALTO LABS
Let's face it. Your body hates extra muscle. While muscle is required for function, mobility, strength, and protection, it takes an awful amount of time and energy to build and maintain real muscle mass. In order to boost muscle mass, the body requires more protein and sleep and it has to strengthen the joints, ligaments and tendons, it also takes 100 calories each day to maintain one pound of muscle. Compare that to the body's favorite tissue: fat, the most dense source of stored energy and a reserve fuel tank for the body in time of crisis. The body loves fat; it's easy to store, easy to maintain, and one pound of fat is 3500 extra calories for a rainy day.
Your body's main goal is to maintain homeostasis (stability) throughout the day. When the body is stressed or influenced by external stimuli, it immediately releases hormones to counter the stressor or stimuli and bounce back to its optimal state of stability. But it's impossible to pack on muscle without swaying the balance away from the norm and into the Anabolic zone. In order to keep growing in size and strength, its imperative that you maintain the Anabolic zone, but all it takes is a bad day in the gym or a hiccup in your diet to swing your body out of the Anabolic zone and into catabolism, the state in which your body will actually break-down and consume your valued muscle tissue for energy.
Illegal steroids are so successful thanks to their ability to lock you into the Anabolic zone, leaving you with clothes-tearing gains and a massive surge in strength. But for those who don't want to risk the side effects and legal concerns of steroids, what does it take to lock into the Anabolic zone? You need an ANABOLIC EDGE.
Q. What is Anabolic Edge?
Anabolic Edge is the world's first athletic performance enhancing product designed to promote extreme muscle growth while greatly enhancing your body's muscle endurance. Anabolic Edge can be used alone for extreme muscle building effects or used as part of your post pro-testosterone cycle support. Users of Anabolic Edge can expect to experience impressive gains in overall athletic endurance and anabolic activity resulting in dense, lean muscle growth.
Q. What Does Anabolic Edge do?
• Designed to rapidly increase ATP and Oxygen utilization
• Increases Aerobic & Anaerobic Endurance
• Enhances your body's ability for Aerobic & Anaerobic Recovery
• Modulates estrogenic receptors while controlling Aromatase
• Boosts Natural Testosterone Levels
Q. What sets Anabolic Edge apart from all the other natural anabolics?
Anabolic Edge works with your body to create the ultimate environment for maximum anabolic activity, enhanced energy and performance (without the use of stimulants), and increased oxygen utilization to help fuel your muscle and growth. Anabolic Edge's anti-aromatase properties help to ensure that your testosterone production is utilized to the fullest extent without losing excess testosterone to estrogen conversion. The only way to pack on lean, dense muscle is to alter your body's state of homeostasis towards a constant state of anabolism, thus allowing your muscles to consistently grow in size and strength rather than being broken down as a source of energy for the body.
