Update

On October 31 I started a 12 week bulking cycle. I am switching up my workout every 4 weeks. The main focus is back, chest, and shoulders.

My long term goal is to get to 230lbs at less than 10% body fat. As of today, I weight 213.1lbs and am at 13.7%body fat. My goal for this cycle is to get to 240lbs and 13.0%body fat. I am going to keep an update journal to track my progress and my thoughts on the supplements I am taking.

Here are the supplements I am currently taking to reach my goals.

For a pre-workout I am taking "M5 Extreme" in the fruit punch flavor by Cellucor. I picked this preworkout because it has a creatine in it and I had never used it before.

I am taking Cell Drive by John Scott Nitro both intra-workout and immediately post workout. I was deciding between that and Size-on by Gaspari Nutrition for my intra-workout shake; I want to replace the calories I am burning so that I can put on more weight. Cell Drive is a post workout, but is a similar product to Size-On, so to save money I decided to try using it during my workout.

Immediately post-workout I have a shake that includes both 1 serving of Cell Drive and 1 scoop of Nectar Isolate Strawberry-Kiwi. I chose to do this because isolate is the fastest digesting type of protein.

30-45 Minutes post workout I am taking chocolate "Size" by JSNitro, a 1000 calorie mass gainer.

At night and for extra meals and calories during the day I am taking Elite Gourmet, a blended protein.

2-4 weeks from now I am going to start a pro-hormone. I am currently debating which one to try. I am waiting so that I can break through any plateaus I reach in my first 4 week cycle instead of experiencing bigger gains more quickly.

I will review each of these supplements in more detail as I use them. I will update on a my lift totals on a regular basis so record them, but I will only do body fat percentage once per week.

240 here I come... watch me.
