Hello Everyone,
My name is Stephen Gamma. I'm a former Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Kansas City Royals baseball organization and have been competing in the sport of Bodybuilding since the Fall of 2010. I am currently 5.5 weeks away from my third competition, the INBF Northeast. After which I will look to continue to add quality size in preparation for the NPC Rochester Bodybuilding and Fitness competition in April 2013 which is a National Qualifier.
My ultimate goal in the sport of bodybuilding is to become an IFBB Professional athlete.
As I'm sure all of you know and live each and everyday, it is not easy to stick to a consistent training and eating schedule. And like we all can attest to, nutrition is the key component to any successful training program. I am currently working for Servpro of Western Dutchess County New York, a Fire and Water Clean up and Restoration company, estimating job protocol and payments with insurance companies. I am also planning a wedding which will take place May 25th of this year. ANDDD to top it all off, my fiance and I have been doing rennovations on a home we purchased for the past 6 months. For me as a competitive bodybuilder and someone who makes the sport his life (priority wise right up there with my fiance...shhh don't tell her , haha) being proactive and planning my meals the night before is critical to any success in the gym. This is where smart and scientific supplementation comes in.
I am eagerly awaiting my first shipment of Juggernaut and will also be ordering some Infinite Lab BCAA and Infinite Mass. I will be posting each and everyday, including photo updates of my contest prep, sample eating diaries, training diaries, and more.
If anyone has a questions pertaining to supplementation, trainnig etc. please shoot me a message and I will help you reach your personal health and fitness goals anyway I can.
I wish everyone the best of luck in your endeavors!
Steve

Thank you very much for the support. Once I get the products, I will also make reviews and do some blogs on the products as well if that is ok. I was also thinking of doing some training videos featuring some of the products if that works with the Infinite Labs Team?
Also, are there Infinite Labs apparel available for purchase like hats and shirts?

Thanks to everyone for the welcoming and encouraging posts. I just received my first tub of Juggernaut today and will be kicking it off full force tomorrow morning with Chest/Shoulders/Triceps. Great way to push me into the final 5 weeks of my bb contest prep. Day 1 Juggernaut Challenge pic, feedback and more coming in tomorrow!

Hey great to hear you want to compete! I did basic google searches as well as using bb.com search engine. It all depends on what organization you want to compete with. As far as weight classes, it also depends on the organization, the type of show (local, regional, national, etc.) and division (1st time competitor, Novice, Open, Teen, etc.)
Best of luck. Any questions feel free!!Stephen Gamma
