ABOUT ME
Sex:MALE
Weight:198
Height:5'10
Body Type:Endomorph
BF%:Not positive on this,but I'd say atleast 18% maybe more.
Currently Cutting.
Short Term Goal:Lose as much fat as can before Summer while maintaining and maybe even gaining Muscle.
Training History: I'll be brief so I don't bore you guys.I started working out in my early teens,was in pretty good shape until around the age of 19.Had alot of problems and stuff happen and I let myself go.Balloned up to about 230 lbs.Was a lard a55.Decided I needed to lose weight,went about it wrong and starved myself causing me to become what is called "skinny fat".
I started getting serious about lifting and nutrition about a year ago.I was 180 lbs,I bulked from november 2006 until Febuary 2007.Gained about 20 lbs,not all of it was LBM.Now I am cutting.Been cutting since Febuary.I lost 5 pounds,but I somehow gained back 3 of it :think:.
My diet is pretty clean.Sometimes I will cheat and have a candybar or fast-food.My diet mostly consists of clean carb sources like Oats,Whole Wheat Bread,CousCous(North African dish),Whole Wheat Pita Bread,Whole Wheat English Muffins and Ezekiel Bread.Protein I get from Tuna,Chicken,Milk and Whey.Fats from Natural Peanut Butter,Olives/Olive Oil,PumpkinSeed Oil and Fish Oil.
My daily caloric maintenance requirement is 3000,so I will be eating 2500 a day.I'm going to try and aim lower on non-workout/Cardio days.
Carbs I will be trying to keep in the first half of my day and keep my later meals Proteins and fats.
My current routine is a split routine which I decided to try while browsing BB.com.The training aspect is where I lack knowledge and I admit is my greatest weakness.I started off doing full-body workouts and stayed with them for far too long.My workouts would consist of endless sets of Curls.very NEWBish.This routine is the first Split routine I will be attempting.It can be viewed here.

My current supplements are...
ON 100% Whey
Universal Animal Pak-1 Pak with pre.W.O meal.
Controlled Labs Purple Wraath-1 serving during W.O,1 post.
ProLab Creapure-5 grams post W.O with 20-25 grams Dextrose.
Fish Oil and Pumpkin Seed Oil caps taken with meals.
Muscle-Tech HydroxyCut taken for Stim effects,usually 4-6 a a day,depending on if I need the Caffeine or not.
Universal Uni-Liver tablets-taken @ various times throughout the day.
Bulk L-Leucine and L-Glutamine taken post W.O.
Bulk Cissus. 660 mgs. X 4 a day spread out.
ZMA and GABA before bed.
And of course,Designer Supplements N.O Limits will be taken pre workout.
My pre-workout supplementation will be 1 serving of D.S N.O Limits with 12-16 ounces of water.
During workout supplementation will be 1 serving Purple Wraath with 16-24 ounces of water.
Immediate post W.O supplementation will be 1 serving Purple Wraath,5 grams Creapure,20-25 grams Dextrose,3-5 grams free form Leucine and 5 grams Glutamine.
30 minutes later I will consume a shake with 1 scoop Whey and 2 cups ground Oats.This comes out to a pretty even ratio of 2 to 1 carbs and protein.
My past Nitric Oxide/Pump/Volumizing supplement use has consisted of bulk L-Arginine and CEE and other home made concoctions,Universal Shock Therapy/Storm,Gaspari SuperPump250,Controlled Labs Glycergrow,Cytosport FastTwitch and as mentioned before,various homebrewed mixes involving bulk AEE,Creatine,Taurine,GMS and Citrulline.
I will be using N.O Limits for the first time tommorow,I had planned to start today,but did not get a chance to workout.Hopefully tommorow I can get in a nice,productive workout and put N.O Limts to good use.
Thanks again to Big Pete and Designer Supplements for the chance to log N.O Limits for them.
