Hi all,
Just a few quick questions about a CL stack I’d like to run. Any advice and input is appreciated. While I understand that the majority of supplementation is the ‘icing on the cake’ and substantially less important that proper diet, training and recovery, I feel that seeing as I put so much effort into all of these areas it’s in my best interest to get the most I can from supplementation.
I ran the WF/GM/PW stack a while back and enjoyed it, especially the quality of the products, although a few things didn’t quite suit me – I much prefer stim-free options as I’m extremely stim-resistant, due I think to my long-term coffee drinking habit.
What I am after from a stack is endurance, energy and some kind of pump – for the later I was quite happy with my Cytosport Fast Twitch (caf-free) but the effects were not every long lasting.
My proposed stack, and I’ve ordered it, so I sure as hell hope it’s appropriate, is White Blood/Blue Gene/Purple Wraath (also using Kre-Alk, multi, fish oil and protein). I’ve found PW amazing as far as endurance goes, anything beyond 8 or so reps in a set (and later sets themselves) really seem to benefit from taking it intra. Typically I use two scoops across about a litre of water. I plan to take the other two pre-workout, at least an hour for the Blue Gene. I’m getting a protein shake + muesli about 1-1/5 hours prior to the workout, so hopefully this should fulfil the insulin requirement for Blue Gene – or do you recommend a small source of carbs closer to my gym-visit?
My workouts are pretty stable and I’m still managing some form of linear progression, which is nice. Due to a back injury dead-lifting I’m finding a few things difficult – I’ve gone from squatting 330 back to barely 135 , but I’m rehabbing the area extensively and it’s coming along well. Otherwise it’s all extensions and good mornings for the lower back, which seems to be improving – slowly but surely. At the moment across the week it’s pretty much: Chest/Back/Rest/Shoulders/Full Body/Legs/Rest, combining 5x5 and 3x10 across mostly compound movements.
Some stats.
Age: 26
Weight: 218 (Was at 310, cut to 200, put on 18 pounds since Jan 1 – nothing to waistline, though)
So how does that sound?
