Plain title, couldn't think of anything clever.
Anyways:

Firstly, big thanks to Supermaz and Formutech for letting me log this. I've seen the product around a lot and I'm excited to give it a shot. Here's all the customary first post info:
[b][color=purple]My Background:[/color][/b]
I haven't been lifting too long, and if we're talking about lifting intelligently then even shorter. (If we start when I stopped using bro splits and everything probably around a year). In high school I was disgustingly skinny, my arms were almost literally concave. It got to the point where I refused to go swiming with friends and whenever I tried to start lifting I saw people look at me struggling under such little weight and quit out of embarrassment. Eventually I just said screw it, and refused to acknowledge other people in the gym and just focused on my workout. Then I read the key to putting on weight is nutrition. So when I got to college I ate healthy, but I ate all the time because I was so sick of being skinny. I took in waay too many calories, and went to the other side of the spectrum and put on a bit of weight..too much weight. Since then I've learned a ton about workout routines, nutrition, and supplementation. I've made a lot of progress since high school and freshman year in college, but have a long road ahead of me before I'm satisfied.
[color=blue][b]Stats and Goals:[/b][/color]
Weight is around 156 and I'm continuing my clean bulk (so I'll only be eating 10-15% over maintenance). Looking to add some more quality lean mass before cutting. Also will be doing a good amount of cardio to try to get my cardiovascular system healthy.
[color=red][b]Workout Routine:[/b][/color]
I'll be doing 5/3/1 Boring But Big. With this I'm hoping to increase strength a bit with the 5/3/1 sets and get bigger as well with the BBB sets. For the assistance work, I'll most likely do the three month challenge stuff. This adds some light bi, tri, and lateral delt isolations at the end of upper body workouts. I'll also be doing chins every workout.
For my cardio, I'm taking a sports conditioning class which will be an hour every monday. Apart from that, I'll be following Wendler's North of Vag cardio routine. Before every workout, 500 reps of jumping rope as follows:
100 normal, two legged
50 on only left leg
50 on only right leg
100 alternating legs
100 high knees
100 normal, two legged
The goal is to also do hill sprints on lower body days and punching bag conditioning on upper body days.
[color=green][b]Other Supplements:[/b][/color]
Scivation Whey
Trutein
Universal Atomic 7
Promera Sports Gluta-Tren
Fish Oil / CLA
And there we have it. Looking forward to this run of BBB and seeing how I like Volatile!
