Marc Lobliner's Contest Prep Thread (new pics added 6-3-08)

I love using a 5 day split. Yours is setup a little different from mine but it is still really good. Nice work Marc.

Just wait until you guys try Primal N2O or Vaso-Xplode, unreal pump, energy, and increase in performance. Plus it just makes you will all-around good (a little mood booster).

[Scivation]

Speaking of vasoXplode, my new experiment was spawned by my hero and mentor, Jim Stoppani, PhD and Science Editor for Muscle & Fitness and FLEX magazines. He is HUGE on ALCAR intake and has been researching Carnitine intake and insulin. It turns out that Carnitine intake into the muscle is dependent on insulin, something Chuck has been saying for a long time. His recommendation is the following:

Pre and Post Workout

3 grams Alcalean
600mg Pure ALA
Fast Carbs (weight and bodytype dependent)
20-40g Substance WPI
2 scoops Xtend


I have modified this to fit Scivation's diet theories to stay lean and gain mass. Here is what I will do:

Pre Workout

1 serving vasoXplode
20g Substance WPI
4 scoops Xtend


Post Workout

3 grams Alcalean
600mg Pure ALA
20g Substance WPI
4 scoops Xtend

This gives me a whopping dose of ALCAR and the BCAA and whey will cause a nice, accute insulin response rather than a biphasic response as elicited by fast carbs. I feel that this will help enhance the uptake of the Carnitine and help me stay leaner than if I were to have carbs.

My schedule will be full of travel and ROUGH, but here is my diet. I will be living on SLUDGE! I will call this the "SLUDGE DIET".

Meal 1: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend
PREWORKOUT: 4 scoops Xtend, 1 scoop Substance WPI, 1 serving vasoXplode
POST WORKOUT: 4 scoops Xtend, 1 scoop Substance WPI, 600mg Alcalean, 600mg Pure ALA
Meal 2: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 3: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, Green Beans, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 4: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 5: 4oz Chicken, 2 whole eggs, Green Beans, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 6: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend

The peanut butter can be substituted for Enova Oil or Almonds for equal fat amounts.

I will update daily. My weight this morning is post-gluttony, so it was 196 of mostly water. Here is my pic from last Thursday:



I will update this very often with pics. Time to rock!

Looking lean and full, Marc. Quality stuff.

I'm very interested with how this goes, I'm a big fan of Alcar myself. Deffo looking forward to seeing what results from this.

[Scivation]

Today went well. I did chest with Katie at the gym and got a very sick pump--I loved it! We also hit some shoulders and some triceps and did tons of volume--that's just how we roll! I also performed 45 minutes of LI Cardio upon waking. My diet went as planned with Lowfat Turkey Sausage and Green Beans as my dinner.

So far, so good.

[Scivation]

Oh yeah, I am also using Dialene 4 Pre Cardio in the AM and mid afternoon.

[alan aragon]

Thanks man. I was wondering where you've been!

I handed out tons of samples at the Arnold, so it is fair game.

[BeReal23]

[young_squatter]

Your looking awesome marc, I like your setup on what your doing now. You must be going through protein powder like its going out of style.

thanks! and wow, good stuff man!

[Scivation]

My weight is stabilizing and the ALCAR experiment seems to be going well. My pumps have been consistently INSANE with vasoXplode and I am also eating only 1-2 solid food meals per day--the rest comes from Sludge.

I have never been this consistently vascular, and the good news is that we are constantly producing vasoXplode so I am having small sips throughout the day just for QC purposes!

[ChokeOnStrength]

Sounding like everything is going amazing Marc, great work, and im excited about the new products, I cannot wait to try them, also cannot wait to sign up for my 2nd month in about 2 weeks.

[Scivation]

Marc,

When my wife makes dinner or if I go out to a business function, I get my carbs.

This is a lifestyle plan and I do not follow it to the T 100% of the time.

Mass Book: Who knows

*slowly walks over to calender and erases while wiping away a tear*

Vaso is out so I'm happy now

[MCWTRAINER]

Marc Lobliner?s Road to Success Installment 10
Bigger and Better

The Arnold Classic was one heck of a time! We did not have our own booth, but passed out Dialene 4 samples at the expo. Derek Charlebois, Layne Norton and I were on hand to speak to our customers and the best part is we even got to train together! When business was done, training began. So while other companies went out after the show and got drunk, all we had is our Purple Drank?.Xtend!


The first night, Derek and I hit chest and triceps and took 1 serving of Scivation vasoXplode preworkout. The pumps were UNREAL. We even took pics ? it was insane! The next night, we did back and then Layne and I hit some legs on Saturday night. We were all blown away by what vasoXplode provided ? insane pumps, bulging veins and incredible energy.


My training split has changed again out of boredom mostly. I tend to switch things up often. Here is my workout. I usually do high volume, low reps and LOTS of sets. To be honest, I have increased training due to how much I love it now.

Monday: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Tuesday: Back, Traps
Wednesday: Legs, Calves
Thursday: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Friday: Back, Traps
Saturday: Legs, Calves
Sunday: OFF



Cardio Has Left the Building

It gets done, but only 3-4 times per week at night. My traveling has been kicking my glutes. Thus, since the weather is nice, I have been walking my dogs when not traveling after putting Kami to bed. Here is my new schedule when not on the road, although I have been gone every week this month.


4am: Wake Up
4-5: Emails
5:15 ? 6:30: Gym
7am until 6pm: Office
6pm: Kami time
7pm: Dog walk
Then I do what needs done in the house and work for 2-3 more hours.


The Diet

I am leaner than I was last installment! I have been experimenting with a plan that Derek and I talked about and it has been working well. It involves a little supplement magic. My new experiment was spawned by my hero and mentor, Jim Stoppani, PhD, Science Editor for Muscle & Fitness and FLEX magazines. He is HUGE on ALCAR intake and has been researching Carnitine intake and insulin. It turns out that Carnitine intake into the muscle is dependent on insulin, something Chuck has been saying for a long time. His recommendation is the following:

Pre and Post Workout

3 grams Alcalean
600mg Pure ALA
Fast Carbs (weight and bodytype dependent)
20-40g Substance WPI
2 scoops Xtend


I have modified this to fit Scivation's diet theories to stay lean and gain mass. Here is what I will do:

Pre Workout

1 serving vasoXplode
20g Substance WPI
4 scoops Xtend


Post Workout

3 grams Alcalean
600mg Pure ALA
20g Substance WPI
4 scoops Xtend

This gives me a whopping dose of ALCAR and the BCAA and whey will cause a nice, acute insulin response rather than a biphasic response as elicited by fast carbs. I feel that this will help enhance the uptake of the Carnitine and help me stay leaner than if I were to have carbs.

In addition to that, my diet has remained pretty constant with a nice cheat meal on the weekend and the rest of my meals comprised of veggies, protein and fats. Kind of like below?.

Meal 1 2 scoop SUBSTANCE Protein Powder + 10g Glutamine
2 tbsp peanut butter
MADE INTO SLUDGE!

42g protein, 15g fat, 0g carbs


Meal 2 2 scoop SUBSTANCE Protein Powder + 10g Glutamine
2 tbsp peanut butter
MADE INTO SLUDGE!

6.5 oz PEELED ruby red grapefruit ? splenda packets can be used to sweeten if desired 44g protein, 15g fat, 15g carbs


Meal 3 6 oz Chicken or halibut or Sirloin fillet or Tuna (albacore packed/canned in water) or LEAN turkey breast
Broccoli
2 tbsp peanut butter or 18 almonds
42g protein, 15g fat, 5g carbs


Meal 4 2 scoop SUBSTANCE Protein Powder + 10g Glutamine
2 tbsp peanut butter
MADE INTO SLUDGE!

42g protein, 15g fat, 0g carbs


Meal 5 2 scoop SUBSTANCE Protein Powder + 10g Glutamine
2 tbsp peanut butter or 18 almonds

MADE INTO SLUDGE!
44g protein, 15g fat, 0g carbs


Meal 6 2 whole DHA, Organic eggs
4 oz Chicken or halibut/tilapia or Sirloin fillet
Broccoli
42g protein, 10g fat, 10g carbs


As you can see, I am NOT measuring vegetables. This is because if I do not cheat on my diet, I really need extra veggies to get my calories and fiber up. Since I am not stressing over getting veggies every meal, it would be really hard to overindulge on green beans only two to three times per day.


When the next update comes, I will be bigger and leaner.
