First and foremost, this is my first post. So I apologize if I come off noobish and if my post is too long. And secondly, please keep in mind that I am on somewhat of a budget so I was hoping to see if there were affordable substitutions.
(Did p90x in oct '11-nov '11. started 220 lbs and got down to 195 lbs. pigged out a little during december but tried to maintain a loose diet)(also note that i'm 5'4)
At the beginning of this year (195 lbs), I took OneADay ProEdge as my multivitamins. I would hit the gym 6 times a week where my cardio days would be Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays and weight lifting (light lifting) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I took the AMP Wheybolic 60 as my recovery drink and used C4 as my pre-wo. Then my wife had surgery in April (180 lbs) and I ended up slacking off since I stayed home to help her recover and help more with our children. I got back into the groove around June (190 lbs) and started to try to lose fat. My new supps was the GNC Sport Vitapak and Muscle Milk as my recovery. Exercises were the same. In August (180 lbs) I started attending MMA training classes on my cardio days but it was a good replacement because I noticed I sweated more at training. I switched up vitapaks from Sport to Ripped Vitapak for that extra "burnage". My recovery varied from either Muscle Milk, low fat chocolate milk or some of my friends Mikes Recovery Drink (which I think works ok). So far it has worked for me. I am currently at 159.2 lbs and somewhat lean. I take the Ripped on MMA days and the Endurance on weight days. Usually Muscle Milk/low fat choc milk as recovery. I'm not sure about my BF % and I was hoping to find an easy way to calculate it at home. Now after listening to my bore of a story, here's what I plan to do:
I'm fighting either sometime late next year or early 2014 at 155 lbs. So until then, I'd like to be bulking/strength training til I get to 160-165 lbs. Then 3 months before my fight I'll lean down to 155 lbs in hopes that my strength will stay intact. I had a look see at supps for bulking but I didn't go full on research. So I have a bit of an idea of supps. I'd love opinions and maybe some constructive criticism.
Standard multivitamin
ACG3 or 1 M.R. (PWO)
amplified mass xxx (in between meal snack/before bed shake)
flaxseed oil
wheybolic 60 or something with a protein blend or buy tubs of whey, soy and caseinate and mix(?) (recovery)
Now again, I am still new to supps and haven't done a TON of research, but I'd like to know if this is acceptable. Anything I might be missing or things I should change that should help?
