What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
Following a diet plan outlined by my nutritionist...variety of clean foods...roughly 1800 calories per day.
- Updated Dec 24, 2009 1:31pm

Do you sometimes use energy enhancing supplements?
Yes
Which supplements do you take? When do you take them?
Caffeine, first thing when I wake up for an energy boost and for my metabolism. I also take another dose before my PM workout for that extra surge of energy during the end of the day.
- Updated Oct 4, 2009 5:56pm

What supplements do you take immediately before your workout? Why?
5g of Creatine and 2000mg of L-Arginine (on an empty stomach).

Creatine helps restore energy to the muscles during workouts and L-Arginine dialates the blood vessels for an increased pump.

After endless hours of observation and and countless modifications to my diet and training...
