Ello folks! My name is Justin and I like long walks on the beach, green gummy bears and watching my 2 year old son shadowbox while I attempt to pay attention to MMA.
---Mission Statement---
Almost this time last year, I had some blood work done, and I decided I needed to make a change. My goal is to gain my health, prevent medications and a complete recomp. I started my journey New Year's as a promise to my wife, my son and most importantly myself. I started at almost 280lbs, the heaviest I've ever been. After messing around with calories and different intakes, I finally found my sweet spot. Since the mid-April, I've lost 35lbs.
---The Path---
Due to my living circumstances, I workout at home. For my resistance training, I follow P90X with PowerBlocks, I'm doing the Couch 2 5k program with my wife, and I also do other various things such as ride on the stationary bike. My training history is not very extensive, but the past couple weeks has been the first time I've ever used dumbbells. Throughout High School Football training, we used machines and lots of barbells. So least to say, if you need me to lift up the back end of a garden tractor, I can do it. BUT! if you need a jar of pickles open...you're going to starve! So, just ignore the current lack of weight that I'm using, I'm getting there! I also find it VERY important to have tip-top form, than to lift heavy amounts of weight. So If I'm having trouble with movement and not getting good, clean reps, I'm not scared to drop the weight to make sure I have the best form that's possible.
Within this log, I will share my workouts, Infinite Labs supplementation and also rate these supplements when I use them.

Every League of Extraordinary Gentlemen needs their Mr. Hyde...
John: I noticed you've been taking part of your daily dosage of vitamins just before bed. I'd love to hear your experience of doing so. I've always spread out my vitamin intake by taking it 3 times a day, but never just before bed. Do you get an added benefit of doing so while the body is at rest?♦Controlled Labs Sponsored Log (White Blood 2)

8/15/11

---Evening Run---
2 weeks ago, my 1 mile time was 14 minutes and 45 seconds (sloooooooow) Lastnight, it was 13minutes and 26 seconds. This is an improvement of 1 minute and 19 seconds over a span of 2 weeks!
---Supplementation--- (the ratings will be evaluated on a daily basis)
2 Scoops of Crimson (Face) Punch Juggernaut before my training. 5:45 A.M
Energy - 10/10. The night before, I only had 4 hours of sleep, so I woke up not a happy camper and dragging butt. However, Juggernaut provided me with a smooth, and great energy. It didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. It slowly came on and stayed there for the entire morning.
Focus - 9/10. The focus is there. I love the focus that Juggernaut gives. It helps create an animal like intensity.
Pumps - 9/10. To be fair to Juggernaut, I'm flabby so it's hard to see any pump I get, haha! With that being said, I can actually see, and feel the pump when I use Juggernaut. It's an awesome feeling.
Endurance - 11/10. I did a lot of reps in my morning workout, but I wanted to keep going! The endurance that Juggernaut provides me is just amazing. I felt like I could have done the routine again.
Taste - 8/10. Taste is subjective and I really enjoy the taste of Crimson Punch. It reminds me a lot of a childs vitamin, and that's not a bad thing for myself!
1 Phenyl Core - 1:15 P.M.
I love Phenyl Core. It's a great product, especially when on a recomp like I'm doing.
Energy - 9/10. Needless to say, I was pretty tired at this time, the lack of sleep really caught up to me. It helped hold me over for the rest of the day and I was able to get my mile in at 9:30 P.M. Not jittery and a smooth transition like I experienced with Juggernaut
Appetite and Cravings control - 10/10. This is amazing. It does it's job and does it excellent. I don't find myself craving crap food and I'm able to stay focused and eat good, healthy foods. I ABSOLUTELY love this fat burner.
---Other Supplements---
Orange Triad multivitamin - 2x3. I take 2 with breakfast, lunch and dinner
OxiMega Fish Oil - 2x2 with breakfast and dinner
Nature's Made Flaxseed Oil gelcaps - 2x2 with lunch and before bed
Lemonade Flavored Whey Protein - 1 shake made of 2 scoops after training
Cinnemon Bun Flavored Protein - 2 shakes made of 1.5 scoops. between breakfast and lunch and before bed.Last edited by J_Dieter; 08-16-2011 at 01:49 PM.

Good on you, Dieter! It's awesome to see your epic workout on here, brah. I already subscribed to this thread and everything. Keep it up! And Cinnamon Bun flavored protein? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Tell me more! Brand? Everything! I'm getting hungry now.
I also see that you and John both take Controlled Labs' Orange Triad multi. I used to take that. I went from Animal Pak --> Orange Triad --> ON's Opti for Men
Orange Triad was great, and since Kane is sponsored by CC, I figured that stuff gave Asians +10 to their strength. Haha. I've since moved on to OptiMen due to only needing 3 pills a day as opposed to 6.Last edited by Kelgogi; 08-16-2011 at 10:25 AM. Reason: Addendum

So in on this.....SUBBED!! Two of my favorite JUGGERNAUTS on one thread.
Would this happen to be Muscle Milk Cinnamon Bun?? That stuff is awesome! Problem is it doesn't last very long in my house - it's kind of like drinking the milk that is leftover from a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.Certified Personal Trainer

Kelgogi Yeah, I really like spreading it out, 3 triads in the morning, 3 at night. I feel it keeps the timing of those all important vitamins and minerals flowing day and night. Also, the Cyclo-REM GF is so valuable to me. It really gives me a deep sleep for awesome recovery!
Nice work partner! You are really bringing that mile time down! Everyone watch out for this guy---he is on a mission!

On the subject of nutrition
I used to do the typical BB type diets eating 6-7 times a day for years.
Honestly, these type of diets leave me miserable, so about a year or so ago I looked into other methods like intermittent fasting and similar approaches and found for me this is a much better approach.
Now, I almost always eat 4 times a day--usually the same thing everyday too, and have a cheat meal anywhere from once a week to 12 days or so----I can almost tell when it is time.
Typical menu for me:
Breakfast:
3 egg whites/2 whole eggs scrambled with 1 piece of fat free cheese.
1 piece of wheat toast/ with peanut butter.
Huge coffee
Meal 2:
1 can of tuna
cheddar rice cakes
Meal 3:
10 oz. of baked cod with either cocktail sauce or ketchup.
Meal 4:
Baked chicken salad, French dressing, Croutons, sometimes baked french fries.
Works out to be around 2200-2400 calories. I can add a bit to gain and eliminate a bit to cut more.Workout Log:

As far as my nutrition goes, it's currently all over the place, haha! I've recently had blood work done and learned that I have a high cholesterol so I'm figuring out what's working best for myself, and the same goes with meal timing. I've tried the "eat 5-6 times a day" thing also, and I really don't like it that much. Growing up before I ran into all of this weight gain, I was a morning snacker.
I was never huge on breakfast or a big lunch. I find what works best for me is to actually completely replace my breakfast with a whey, or protein blend shake. This has been working out well for me and I feel as if it's also helped me improve my mood and such. This is also easier for me since I train fasted early in the A.M. The big key for me has been to find WHAT WORKS FOR ME, and not what has been written on a web article or a magazine.
For the past couple of weeks, I've been using more of a 50/30/20 protein/carb/fat ratio aiming for 2250 calories per day. Many days I fall under my caloric goal, but I don't feel hungry and my energy levels are up.
Like John, I aim for a cheat meal every 7-12 days if my nutrition is spot on. If I have one day where it's off a lot, I don't treat myself.
A typical day for myself is:
Breakfast - 2 scoops of a whey or blended protein
Between breakfast and lunch - I'll usually throw in a MuscleGel
Lunch - 3-5oz's of a protein (trying hard to avoid red meats), a slice of whole grain bread, and a bunch of veggies, perhaps a salad with my protein. Depending on how my daily macros are looking, I may also throw in a Lemonade whey shake (nomnomnom!) to help make up some of my protein
Between Lunch and dinner - I will have a snack usually consisting of some salt free almonds and a few slices of chicken breast or turkey breast lunch meat.
Dinner - 3-5oz's or a protein, a good ol carb (been loving these sweet potato fries, baked of course) and lots of veggies as well. I usually go for the veggies and protein first, and whatever room I have left, I top it off with my carbs.
Before Bed - Either a serving of some cottage cheese, a shake or a FiberOne bar, depending on how I feel my digestion is going.
I'm loving dinner being my largest meal of the day. It really cuts down on me wanting to chow down on food all night and before bed.
As far as water intake goes, I get at least 1 gallon a day. I have a 2.2 Liter container that I fill up with some flavored BCAA's and sip on throughout the day, and drink plain water whenever I grab something to eat or take a vitamin. This lets me stretch those BCAA's for the whole day.--- Blankety Blank Blank ---

That's because you eat MassPort cake and Infinite Force Pizza!
Being that it takes me a long while to post my workouts, review and on all of the "I Am Juggernaut" logs, I probably won't be posting much about nutrition. If I find that weight loss is slowing down, or my energy is dropping, I may start, but so far so good!--- Blankety Blank Blank ---
