Any pics of your progress, or just raw weight + strength numbers? I just started CBL myself and I'm very optimistic. I've been one of those life long lifters with slow modest gains and found a plateau over the last 4/5 years where I haven't gained much strength. I've always had the training there but never a diet that really complements it, so I'm looking forward to program.

[Iceman1800]

Tomorrow is 7 weeks out from my contest, 6 hard training weeks then the contest week. I still do some training the week of the contest but nothing stupid. Stupid will be the next six weeks. I abandon common sense and train til I puke then add in HIIT. I need to get my endurance up since last year I finished dead last in the tire flip due to not being in shape. Not this year. I have a strict diet high in protein, all the supps I need (may add in ZMA if anyone wants to send me some) and I have something to prove to myself. Minimum is a 700# deadlift, 45 seconds on the 265#/hand farmers hold and breaking 50 seconds on the tire flip. Buckle up gents, its going to be a fun 6 weeks

[Iceman1800]

My current supplement list includes:
BSN Nitric2.0 and BSN Aromavex - very positive reviews so far.
Animal Pak multis- best multi out there IMO
I Force Joint Help- huge need for what I do
AllMax beta alanine great for endurance
EFX HMB
BetterBodySports C-Bolic
Universal protein powder
Lots and lots of H2O during the day

about a month. It works for me, I'm noticing much less joint pain after around the 2nd week or so

[Iceman1800]

I'm looking to add ZMA to my supp list. Any recommendations? Samples?
