Pick me, pick me
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Height: 6'0
Weight: 220
Bodytype: Mesomorph
Training experience (as much detail as possible.. TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF ! ! WHY should we choose you ! !): I'm a proud Army Officer, currently serving in Iraq and working out like a champion. The highlight of my day is to walk in to the gym and put all the stress from working long, monotonous days out of my mind and focus on improving myself both physically and mentally. I'm a perfectionist... I would rather do a lift with less weight and proper form than heavy with sloppy form. The guys that throw 315 on the squat rack and perform the exercise with a three inch range of motion and a large grunt at the end give me all the motivation I need to do something right. I grew up as an athlete, starting sports at six years of age and continuing on throughout college as a wrestler. I trained with weights consistently from high school through college, working hard to better myself as an athlete. After college, I had a minor setback when I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and hospitalized for a week. At the time, the Dr. put me on Prednisone, which I took for about 7-8 weeks. I was unaware and uninformed of the side effects of the drug and gained about 25 lbs with a significant increase in bodyfat and loss in muscle mass. I became depressed and had severe issues with the way I looked in the mirror. Since then, I've made it my goal to change my life for the postive. In the last 7+ months, I've lost 25 lbs while gaining strength the entire time. I feel great and I'm back on track, training as hard as I ever did in college (with exception to the demanding wrestling practices
) I want to continue this journey to improve myself both physically and emotionally and be in the best shape that I can possibly be in.
Current Training Schedule / Protocol (as much detail as possible): I'm currently doing a High Frequency Program, but planned to switch to HST within the next two weeks. Currently, I'm conducting a full body workout, 5 days a week (3 days on, 1 off, 2 days on, 1 off). I typically do one exercise per bodypart in some rep scheme of 24 reps. When I switch to the HST program, I will be doing the workout prescribed on bb.com. 15 reps for two weeks, 10 reps for two weeks, 5 reps for 2-4 weeks with increasing weight each workout. Here are the prescribed lifts:
Squat
SLDL
Incline Bench
Weighted Dips
Chins/Pullups
Rows
Shrugs
Shoulder Press
Lateral Raise
Rear Delt
DB Curls
Tri Extensions
Calf Raise
ABS
Cardio Schedule/Protocol (as much detail as possible): 4-5 times per week. HIIT conducted a minimum of two times, so if I work out only 4 times I will drop the moderate intensity workout instead of the HIIT.
2 x HIIT for 20-30 min; I like to change between the elliptical, outside running and treadmill
2-3x Moderate intensity for 30-45 min; again I alternate between the three options above.
Current supplements (exact brand/product name):
ON 100% Whey Chocolate Mint (10 AM, 4 PM-PreWO, 530-PostWO)

CL PurpleWraath - 15 min PreWO
Primaforce CEE - PostWO
ON Fish Oil - 2 caps 3xdaily w/meals
NOW Adam - after dinner - I'll be switching to Animal Pak after this to see what I like better. Heard good things about both, but I like the deep sleep I seem to get with Adam.

NOW Max CLA - 3 times a day before meals
Naturemade Triple Flex (glucosamine, chondritin & MSM) - 2 pills a day
Current Diet and macros (as much detail as possible): This isn't set in stone because I can only pick from whatever the Army offers on a daily basis over here. This is a typical day though:
Meal 1: Boiled egg whites w/1-2 yolks or protein shake w/oatmail
Meal 2: Chicken breast with broccoli or some shrimp/chicken and veggie stir fry
Meal 3: Chicken breast or turkey or tuna
Meal 4: Pre wo shake (currently protein only)
Meal 5: Post wo shake w/either oats or a banana
Meal 6: shrimp/chicken and veggie stir fry or baked fish and vegetables
Meal 7: Pre-bed shake (was muscle milk, now it's casein)
Macros: Trying to maintain 40-50% protein and 20-30% of both carbs and fats. Again, this is more dependent on what is offered in the dining facility.
Current Daily water intake: 1.5-2.5 gallons/day
Short Term Goal: Decrease bodyfat 3-5% while maintaining strength
Long Term Goal: Stay physically and emotionally healthy
ANY and ALL Prescription / Non-Prescription / Recreational drugs: N/A
Supplement history (as much detail as possible): All of the above mentioned supplements. I have never taken any ProHormones or Steroids.

That's all I can think of, but I may have tried a few other things here and there.

Current / Progress Photos: I don't have any recent ones on my work computer, but I'm going to post what I have from about a month and a half ago. My camera broke, so now I have to borrow one to take more. I will ensure I take adequate pictures if selected though.
Can you post "before" and "after" photos (yes or no): Yes
Disclaimer: I have read the terms above completely. I agree to them 100%. I do have a medical condition (Crohn's Disease), but I have been ok'ed to take creatine in the past and have taken it successfully w/o any negative side effects. I will be able to start my log / review the week of 15 JUN, 2006
