I'm stuck at 220. Double plate bench is so close!!!

 

Well, after 6 months of first time weight lifting:

Bench 180 max
Squat 210 max
Deadlift 225 max




What are your guy's preferred morning, pre workout, post workout, and night supps? Also what vitamins are you taking and when? I wanna pick up some extra supps this weekend

 

Only been takin any kind of supps for 2 months, but this is my medicine cabinet

 

Nice, my buddy started taking No-xplode and he says it really makes you feel pumped up. Whats the opti-men?

 

Multi-vitamin.

 

1 scoop of NO Xplode, 1 scoop of creatine about 20 mins before workout, Amino Energy during, 1 scoop creatine with Whey afterwards, Casein before bed. Multi-vitamin morning, noon, night.

 

I've been doing a mix of strength and hi-rep workouts in the same session. I start off with a strength exercise and continue with lower weight.

Ex.

Shoulders

standing shoulder press 5x5 with 115lbs

superset: Front raise 4x12-15 25lbs
Lateral raise 4x12-15 20lbs
reverse fly 4x12-15 15lbs

and i'll continue with other miscellaneous shoulder workouts with low weight and high reps.

Any Pros and Cons you can think of?

 

Steroids are cheaper, and work better.

Morning supp - 1/3 lb burger, couple eggs, and multiple pieces of bacon.
Pre-workout - water, bubblegum
Post-workout - Protein and carbs
Night time - protein and carbs

Save your money from buying up a bunch of supplements. Unless you're competing and need every little inch of help you can get, then why worry? Invest in some protein powder and eat a lot of food. It will help you leaps and bounds over the crap you buy at a vitamin store. If you're having trouble gaining I would bet unlimited amounts of money that you could fix it with food.

 

But wouldnt you say that eating a lot + getting good quality supps improve your gains even more?

 

Eat a lot of QUALITY foods.

 

I eat pretty well. Grew up on a lot of organic foods and grains. Now i try to eat a lot of red meat, chicken, grains, fruits and vegetables. My hardest problem is eating enough per day.

 

problem solved.

 

Different pre workouts work differently for different people

But look into animal paks for vitamins...they're amazing

 

3 Jimmy johns gargantuans per day, problems solved!

 

I am gonna look into those when my mega man vita packs run out

 

I've been lifting weights for 13 years now and the only supplements I know to work are (creatine, pro hormones (1-AD, Havoc (epistane) etc), 6OXO, PES erase, and a good per workout drink). Only vitamin I really take it D,E, and CoQ10. I'm trying DAA right now I'll post up once I finish my 8 week run. Pretty much everything else can be derived from a healthy diet ( I haven't bought protein in years).

 

Oh I chalk for dl for sure.

 

i wish my cns was stronger, 1 deadlift session pretty much destroyed it. went to do squats today 315 felt like 405. end up doing 10x10 with 275s

 

I would assume your CNS is stronger enough, sounds like you don't treat it right.

If you're lifting so heavy, each day your CNS is fucked up, lower the weight and take more rest time dude.

 

Yeah im thinking of switching up my lifting from high weight low reps to low weight and hi reps for a couple of weeks. cus my strength gain stopped
