Weight: 180lbs (AM on empty stomach)
Height: 5"4
Age: 20
Goal in mind: Have a productive off-season.
Competition history: N/A
Plans to compete: Local UKBFF qualifier in September 2015 for the UKBFF British Finals (Nationals) in October 2015, Juniors U23 Class, Non-tested show
Reasons for extended off-season: Decided to use the next 3 years to grow and build a solid foundation as the Juniors standard is very high with most of the guys being at the end of the age limit (U23). In October 2015 I will be 23, so I am eligible to compete as the Juniors category is for ages 23 and under.
Type of training: HIT (Low volume, heavy weight with controlled form)
Cardio: None
Reasons for seeking help:
-Would value a second opinion from someone experience to ensure I am on the right track to make progress
-Progress has been stagnant for a few months
-Confusion on what alterations to make to Diet/Supplementation to start making progress again
-Lack of experience, confidence
-Bodyweight has remained the same for 2 years
-Have wasted a lot of time and money listening to the wrong people

Meal 6: 5oz Tuna, 2.5oz White Basmati Rice 1 cup Green Beans

Hi XMANMIKE, sorry for the delay, for this goal in mind @ " *muscular 175lbs.** following a power building program to add **strength as well** your numbers will have to be adjusted a little for now and then * Readjusted as time goes on( to see how your body responds) so it can be customized to your specific needs, try this; bring your carbs down to 300,( use at least 60 to 70 grams of carbs before and after training ), do not eat any *carbs before going to bed, bring up your *protein to around 275 grams and lower your fats(eat good fats only), add cardio, 30 minutes 5 days a week with a low impact cardio instead, make sure that your weight training regiment is designed for power/strength/lean mass goal....
here is a stack that i recommend and use when im training for lean bulk mass/strength goals;
**this stack is specifically designed with the proper ingredient to enhance your goal*
JUGGERNAUT= pre-workout solution to increase the intensity & power of your workout until the very end
CARNO CRE= contains high doses of Carnosyn brand beta alanine as well as Creatine MagnaPower to maximize power output, fight fatigue and promote the generation of lean mass.*
CYCO REM GF=maximizes IGF-1 conversion for a faster recovery and complete body rejuvenation.increased metabolic processes, reduced cortisol levels.
INFINITE MASS PROTEIN= to trigger massive gains in size and strength, infinite mass gives you the proper amount of carb/protein/fat ratio
CYCLO TREN= promote anabolic effects by increasing luteinizing hormone release and testosterone utilization,
talk to you soon, be safe, train safe

Hi, most of your regiment is good, here are some tips that will help, as you know training/dieting/nutrition go hand in hand with the specific goal in mind, consistency with proper food/macro and a Constancy on different types of training to stimulate muscle fibers is the only way to succeeding, use products that have high quality raw material in it, i am not familiar with the once your using, i only recommend what works for me,what i have others on what other pro's use,(most athletes, especially pro's don't always use their sponsors products, they will say they use it but they need results so don't get fooled by big name companies, do your research), keep your fat intake low, use omaga-3 for fats,** use fast acting carbs after training for the glycemic index effect and use a slow burning carb meal before training to ensure the duration of energy to get you trough your work outs, do not eat carbs before bed, stay with in around 20 pounds from competitive weight this way it will make it easier and healthier to reach your contest shape, get plenty of rest so the muscle can recover adequately, use proper form, control the movements, make that ind and muscle connection, quality is better the quantity, starting out early will have great benefits especially with trial and error, i think your on the right track for making progress, keep perfecting your food/nutrients/training, practice posing when you, your body will change a little from year to year, focus on what works best for your body and constant progress to make gains, when dieting for a show you will have to train, eat, sleep accordingly, cardio, training, macro, nutrition will need to work hand in hand in order to get best results, until then, train hard, train safe, train for success....im here when you need me.....
here is a perfect example on how us pro's only use what wee need to succeed, it as nothing to do with our sponsors, its progress....LEE has been a big fan of infinite labs product line, he is now a team infinite athlete...
here is a stack that has worked great for every one that used it;
**this stack is specifically designed with the proper ingredient to enhance your goal*

Thanks Zack, i had to take some time off from the gym do to sandy the storm, so im going to use this opportunity to let my body rest for a few weeks before i start my lean mass bulk/strength phase any way, cant wait to start again, the beauty of when i take off, i have to force my self to stay away from the gym, this makes me crave training every day and so to keep my mind occupied i do lots of research on the latest health/muscle gaining, plan new training strategy to stimulate muscle fibers, ......THE TRICK IS TO " NEVER GIVE UP, TRAIN AS IF YOUR JUST STARTING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN MY MIND, IM ONLY 25, IF THE MIND BELIEVES IT CAN, THE BODY WILL FOLLOW.....I TRAIN TO LIVE, I LIVE TO TRAIN....
here i am at 52 with "hot" fitness champion Angelica

Thanks Joe, glad to see that you are taking all this in stride. As always you are a source of inspiration for all of us on here. It has been a little over three weeks since I posted my stats and progress photos. I have increased my cardio to 5 days a week at 45min in the AM before I eat. I still train 5 days a week with rep range around 12. My micro's are Carbs:130 Protein:190 Fats76, Just checked my B/F 13.94. I have my first contest on May 18 2013, and wondering if I need to change anything or keep on the path that I am on. I was thinking that I needed to get the B/F down some more before I try to start bulking up. Stay Safe and hopefully we are done with these crazy storms, Stay Strong!

Hi kconnell, i like to get most of my information from science journals, some magazines do carry some latest health/nutritional facts, and i might check out some of the pro's photos on their latest conditioning, but other then that i have no use for them.

Hi Zack, try not to go up and down, instead train/eat/sleep with the appropriate training/dieting/nutritional intake geared for building lean mass, bulking up then going back down with the amount of time that you have will only create more work when trying to get ripped, my suggestion is to, increase the carbs up to 150( use most of them for "pre and post workout"), increase protein up a Little more( for now about 30 grams), lower you fats a little more, *train with more compound movements, * reps between 6 to 10(*squeezing and proper form with some spots), *be consistent with different/styles/Technique ( check out some of my training videos for sample/inspirations) of training routines that are designed to stimulate for power and mass combined with the nutritional/food intake to gain lean muscle mass, by the time January comes around, then switch over to training/dieting for contest prep mode, you will see that your skin will be tighter and you will be herder/leaner by show time, stretching the skin for bulking and cutting at that short of time period will cause the skin to take longer to tighten up, if you want,every month send me photos of your self so that we can stay on top of the progress and change/twink things so that you can be on target all the way up to the show,.....
train safe, train to grow
** FYI Zack,starting in a few weeks i will be starting the same training and adding this stack to go with the same goal you have in mind....check it out
JUGGERNAUT= pre-workout solution to increase the intensity & power of your workout until the very end
CARNO CRE= contains high doses of Carnosyn brand beta alanine as well as Creatine MagnaPower to maximize power output, fight fatigue and promote the generation of lean mass.*
CYCO REM GF=maximizes IGF-1 conversion for a faster recovery and complete body rejuvenation.increased metabolic processes, reduced cortisol levels.

Man you read my mind, I was gonna ask for your recommendation on a mass attack stack but you were on top of that one. Thank you and I will send you updated photo's each month to track my progress and make any adjustments, good luck with your own personal mass gains and let rock 2013. Stay Strong!

Hey Joe,
I'm currently 21 years of age, about 1.73m in height, and 64-66kg. Had DEXA scans done 2 months ago saying I had 12.6% BF levels and my resting metabolic rate is 1763 kcal/day.
Goals - At the moment I think I'm trying to drop my body fat levels to the single digits, want to see more of the lean muscle.
Currently having 6 meals a day.
Breakdown of Diet Plan:
1. Meal One – 6:10AM (Post Work Out)
2 Scoops of Trutein
1 Nordic Naturals Fish Oil
1 Life Extension Two-Per-Day
2. Meal Two – 7AM
100 grams of Brown Rice (Long Grain)
200 grams of Chicken Breast
200 grams of Broccoli
3. Meal Three – 10AM
100 grams of Brown Rice (Long Grain)
200 grams of Hoki Fillets
200 grams of Broccoli
4. Meal 4 – 1PM
200 grams of Kangaroo Fillets
300 grams of Broccoli
5. Meal 5 – 4PM
200 grams of Hoki Fillet
300 grams of Broccoli
6. Meal 6 – 7:30PM
2 Scoops of Trutein
1 Nordic Naturals Fish Oil
1 Life Extension Two-Per-Day
Other Supplements:
1. 1 Scoop of iForce Hemavol & 1 Scoop of iForce Maximize Intense V2 (Pre Work Out)
2. 5 grams of Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (Meal One)
Just under 1,900 calories and the ratio is 60/27/13 (Protein/carbs/fat)
I've attached the most current front photo and my training routine.
However I on top of what is written on my training routine I also do 50 mins on the treadmill at incline of 10 and speed 6, 6 days a week (occasionally might do it on my full rest day depending on mood).
Regarding my weight training, I try to do increase the weights with each set, and then when I reach max, I drop the weights again.
Would you have any advice on what aspects of my training/diet I could improve?
Thanks in advanced!
Regards,
GeorgeLast edited by ExaltedIce; 11-13-2012 at 11:45 AM.
