My Workout Philosophy View My Full Workout Philosophy

All I do is lift heavy and push to my limits everyday and repeat.

I always have liked lifting heavy so now depending on what I am trying to acheive I will pre exsust the body part with isolation moventments  and hegh reps and finish my workout with Heavy compund movements like Barbel Rows, Squats, Bench Press or Dead Lifts depending on what body part day it is. Or I do the same thing in reverse order.

My Supplement Philosophy View My Full Supplement Philosophy

These are the supplements I take because they work!!!

Dymatize Nutrition-

ISO 100-Anytime protein with low calories and basically no carbs and fat

Fusion 7 - It a time released protein so you get fast, medium and slow digesting protein. Also you get seven types of protein so no matter what your goals you are getting every type of amino acid you will need

Casein - It’s a must for anyone it feed your body while you’re sleeping because its sow digesting and keeps you from going catabolic

Elite Mass - It’s my favorite mass gainer because it comes in small scoops not like some mass gainer which you have to use shovels to get one serving. Plus it has 600 cal and 77grams of carbs so you won’t get fat while you’re bulking you will just put on lean mass with the 55grams of protein and digestive enzymes it has so you can digest this tasty shake and feed your muscles. This is one of the few mass gainers with EFAA to you can keep you growth hormones in balance if you’re not getting enough while you are bulking.

BCAA Complex 5050 - this is a must for during your workout so while your lifting your muscles don’t break down too much. It’s cheap and all you need to add to it is your favorite MIO

XPand 2X - In my opinion this is the best pre work I had. It gives me a great pump. With just the right amount of energy and focus without the crash.

Super Ammino 6000 - I take this with my Xpand 2X it gives me some extra BCAA's and Glutamine so I can start my workout at my best and make sure I wont go canabolic durning my workout.

DymaBurn - I take this when I need to cut some weight and get lean. This fat burner makes me more focused and aware than just hot and jittery like other fat burners.

Creatine - This is great because it help with all explosive movements I use creatine all the way till the last week of my prep

Super Multi - this is a cheap easy dissolvable Multi

 

My Motivation Philosophy View My Full Motivation Philosophy

I strive to be the best me possible and help people from what I have learned on my journey

I stay motivated by staying competitive. I try to compete in as many competitions as I can every year. My two goals are to Get my IFBB pro card and show as many people as I can how to get the physique they desire.

  • Be very proud of that champ. Surprised because your name is kinda well-known to hear it's your first national show but third in the super heavy weight class is an outstanding first show. Those other massive thighs must have been trembling when you walked on stage ha. You deserve the glory mate, good action.

    Jun 16, 2013 | |
  • well I have seen other competitors, and I think you deserved first place anyway, keep up the great work (Y)
