(Longtime lurker, so please excuse what is probably a very long and rambling first post. I've got a lot of questions!)
(Also, if this should be in the "diet/fat-loss" forum, please feel free to move it!)
Joined a gym back in February and I guess I've kinda got "the bug" since I've actually stuck with it this long and have come to really enjoy it.
At 5'10" and 285, I'm going for aesthetic/health reasons...not looking to get competitive or anything. My friend and I go lift every other day, and I TRY to get in about 30-45 minutes of cardio on as many "off" days as I can.
Weight Schedule:
Day 1: Legs
Day 2: Off/(Cardio?)
Day 3: Arms and Abs
Day 4: Off/(Cardio?)
Day 5: Back and Shoulders
Day 6: Off/(Cardio?)
Day 7: Chest and Abs
Day 1: Off/(Cardio?)
Repeat (Does that make sense? LOL)
(Also do about 15-20 min. of treadmill before lifting to get the blood flowing.)
There's definite differences in the mirror, and I've been getting compliments from my friends and family. (About 2 years ago, I was probably pushin' 325-330 and was a shapeless tub of goo!).
I feel a LOT better than I have in a long time. But I've still got a LOT of fat hanging around.
I've been researching supplements for a while now and have tried a few here and there, and think I've nailed down a pretty good "stack" to help me along my journey.
Problem is, due to my work schedule, I don't get to the gym until around 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. during the week, so I'm not sure how/when to use the supplements.
Here's the stack I'm wanting to start the first full week of November:
CL Red Acid Gen2
MAN Vaporize (Sorry, CL guys. Didn't think about Sesaglow until after my Prosource order had shipped!)
CL Blue-Up Stim Free (Used this on and off and really like it.)
Cytodyne ZMassPM (Using this already. Love the sleep.)
Creatine (Always.)
Whey Protein (Always.)
Multi-Vitamin (Always.)
(Using "store brands" on the last 3, but I think I made some good choices.)
I'm open to any and all suggestions on any changes in the workout plan and
how to spread out the supplements (or eliminate anything I don't need.)
Also, I know my diet SUUUUUUCKS, so if anyone knows of any diet plans (or websites where I can research some), I DEFINITELY want to get that NAILED DOWN as well. I know all the work and cash on supps will be for naught without doing that.
Thanks in advance. I'm looking to be a good pupil. I'm 32, and I know getting in shape is only gonna get harder the older I get!
