BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com Well here is the long awaited new journal I've mentioned for the past few weeks. I know everyone has been looking forward to this!!!
Well let me start this off by reintroducing myself. Really haven't intro'ed myself yet so here we go... My name is Matt. I live in Cal. I'm 27 years old, I have a total of 5 kids (2 live in Phoenix with my P.O.S. Ex-wife, 2 Step Kids (wife's from her first marriage), and 1 between eachother and our last!! (We have that fixed ). The kids range in age of 8 years to 6 months. Oh yeah there are 3 girls and two boys. My step son has Cerebral Palsy and Ataxia. Me and my wife are in a HUGE custody battle with my ex which I don't think will ever end until my youngest daughter between me and my ex is 18. (Unforuntaly I have to count down the days 5,029 left.)My goal is to build as much muscle as possible and cut here within the next 6 to 9 months and gain little body fat as possible. I've been lifting/ working out seriously since October 2003 and before that was when I was in High School. I spent 3 years in the Army about 4 years ago. After I got out I really didn't care about my diet like I do now. When I started working out in Oct. I was weighing 230 lbs and probably about 30% Body fat on a 5'11.5" frame. Now I'm 195 and about 17 to 18% BF. Lowest I've been at is 185 and about 14% BF, until I went on a sugar eating binge for about 2 to 3 weeks (ended Saturday 4-18-04). I work Graveyard so my workout and sleep schedules kinda get screwed up as far as doing the same thing everytime everyday so disreguard Sunday's and Friday's diet. Supplements: Lambrada Qwik Vites (daily vitamin) Flaxseed Oil:3 to 4 tablespoons a day Omega 3,6,9 Spread throughout the day Glutamine 10 to 15 grams spread throughout the day Calcium: 1000mg 2 times a day Vitamin C: 1000mg 2 times a day Vitamin E: 400IU 2 times a day R-ALA: 100mg 3 times a day Swole V2: 2 scoops on workout day, 1 on Non Syntrax Nitrous: 2 scoops on W/O day, 1 on Non Black Star Labs Nitro Jet: 2 scoops immediatly after workout (this stuff tastes like crap!!) ZMA:3 before bed BCCA: throughout the day. Also I just started on Sunday 1ad/4ad. (1ad from ergopharm, 4ad from dermabolics (transdermal) ). Week One: 300mg 1ad, 400 mg 4ad (spread out through the day) Week Two: 400mg 1ad, 400mg 4ad (") Week Three: 500mg 1ad, 400mg 4ad (") Week Four: 600mg 1ad, 400mg 4ad (") For post cycle I'll be using 6OXO and Milk Thistle. (I'll post those later). Well Please feel free to chime in and give me some advice or to say hi. Thanks!! P.S. Forgot to add I workout in my garage and not in a gym I've attached a pic to show what I have to use. I've bought additional attachments for the lat portion of my machine. Weight Machine P.S.S. I'll be consuming 3800 calories per day. I'll post food whenever I can. Or you can click on my diet journal and its linked to Fitday.com. Last edited by I'm Trying : 04-19-2004 at 01:35 AM. |

Good luck with your new journal man.
Did I read that right? You're only going to be training on that universal machine? No freeweights, etc.? |

BEst of luck Matt!!! very well planned, Im impressed!
Good Luck! wow, 5 kids!! Id hate to do all their chirstmas and birthday shopping! one thing that I might suggest- cut back the flax oil.. get in your fish caps and opt for other fat sources. Hempseed oil has a much better ratio of 3-6 than flax, avocados and olive oil are great too. |

No I have free weights galore. I have fixed dumbells and adjustable dumbells. I really only use the machine for benching (the stands), squats, and the lat portion. So about 90% of my exercises are free weights. Thanks!! |

Nice squats!
For calves... there's a bunch of stuff you could do. Seated calf raises, calf presses on the leg press, different tempo's, or even really high volume. Dunno if youve been following MonStar's journal, but he's been trying a "CAT" method lately wherein you try to get 100 reps for an exercise within 4-6 sets with as short a rest interval as possible. Actually, i think Jen just did this for her calves. |

Workout for 4-23-04...
Back and Biceps... T-Bar Rows (Barbell in corner using row cable attachment. Got this from PreMier. First time doing these) 90x8 125x8 140x8 150x6 DB Row 40x8 50x8 55x8 60x8 Pull Downs to Front 90x8 100x8 110x5 120x5 Str8 Bar w/ Arm Blaster 75x8 85x8 90x6 Seated DB Curls 25x8 30x8 40x4 Hammer Curls 25x8 30x8 40x6 BB Wrist Curl 45x30 45x30 Reverse Wrist Curl 45x30 45x30 Pretty good workout. I need to do some studying on if it is bad to workout before bad or not. My problem is when I workout at 4pm (right when I wake up) my garage is hotter then hell. The only other time I can really pull this off is if I workout at 8am before I go to bed. We'll see what I come up with. Please feel free to critique!! Thanks!! |

Very nice! The long bar t-bar rows are killer, I love them
Just make sure to keep your back straight.There shouldnt be a problem working out before bed. It might even be more beneficial. Because when you sleep, your body releases GH and it might haev better uptake right after working out, but who knows? |
