Introduction...

pu12en12g · 09-19-2005, 06:07 AM

Hey guys.. I'm the new Controlled Labs rep on the forum, and it occured to me that it might be rude to just start posting without introducing myself

Summary / About me:

I started seriously lifting around 3 years ago and my dream was to be 200+ lbs and fairly lean without AAS / PH / PS. I recently hit 250lbs without AAS / PS / PH and I was surprised how well my joints and Mt. Bike held up to the weight. With the exception of energy levels and neck/shoulder pain, I feel and look the best I ever have. I also recently had a checkup with my doc, and I've decided my next goal is 260lbs @ 12-14% before cutting / maintaining / enhancing, with a long-term goal of around 240lbs @ 8% or less BF.

Age: 27

Sex: Male

Height: 6ft

Weight: 248-250

Bodytype: Ecto

Progress Photos: http://technologyorgasm.com/upload/130-243.jpg

Measurements:

Neck: 16.5
Chest: 45.5
Bi unflexed: 17
Bi flexed: 17.75
Forearms: 13.75
Waist: 35.5
Quads: 26.5
Calves: 17.5

Prohormone/Steroid use:

None. I did a few clean cycles of 6-OXO, which overwhelmingly is NOT considered a PH/PS/Steroid. The cycles were cut short due to unpleasant side effects around week 2-3.

Training experience:

I was 6ft, 130lbs at age 19 when I joined the military. By age 24, not only was I a weak, out-of-shape 175lbs, but my body felt like shit, and my joints hurt. So in the last 3 years I went from a out-of-shape 175lbs to a leaner 243lbs.

I've tried 5x5 training and liked it
I've tried MAX-OT and liked it
I've attempted Conjugated Periodization and didn't enjoy it

I made a HUGE mistake last year when I did a cutting phase from 225lbs to 205lbs, but I have since bulked back up, and broke through a 220-225lb plateau.

Injuries:

Left neck / shoulder / trap pain possibly related to 2003 (?) when I flipped a 4-wheeler.
Recently got hit by a car... and felt sorry for the car... (I was VERY lucky to go up and over instead of under.. like my bike)

Training Schedule/Protocol:

5 days a week, with a 4 x 8-12 rep range. Workouts usually last around 1 to 1.5 hours. Usually 1RM monthly... but haven't 1RM lately due to injury.

Sun: Legs
Mon: Off
Tue: Chest / Back
Wed: Legs
Thu: Off
Fri: Chest
Sat: Back

Note: This is simply a "basic" outline that I follow.

Cardio Schedule/Protocol:

I'm bulking, so around 3 days a week, low/medium intensity 30-60mins unless otherwise noted.

Current supplements:

Bulk WPC Protein powder
Multivitamin
Controlled Labs - White Blood
Controlled Labs - Green Bulge
Omega Sports - Powerjolt / Powerjolt V2

Eggs

Prescription/Recreational drugs: None at this time.

Supplement history:

I respond fairly well to creatine, and in the past I have tried MAN Clout, Omega - Thunder, NOS Ether, Swole V2, BSL Kre-alkalyn and many other creatine products.

I respond very well to Cell Volumizers, and in the past I have used NOS XXX, Extreme NOS Precursor, L-Arginine powder, L-Arginine Pyroglutamate Powder, L-Citrulline Powder, Ergopharm Stamino2, Carnosine, Glycerine, Ribose, Taurine, Twinlab Male Fuel, Syntrax Nitrous

I respond fairly well to stimulants/thermogenics, and in the past I have used Ready4War, Diesel Fuel Reloaded, Powertrain, ECY Stack, Tyrosine, Green Tea Extract, Nicotine 1mg Gum, Caffeine, EPH 833, EPH 1000, Ripped Fuel, Y-HCL on it's own.
