Dock's thread got me thinking of starting this one. This is only for serious body builders, not for your 3 times a week people, yet feel free to join if you're not going to derail the thread.

As detailed in another thread, I believe a protein isolate is necessary. I take a shake as soon as I open my eyes in the morning to start my metabolism; then one at 10:30 in lie of my morning car which I am currently off of. And of course, one 20 minutes after my (intense) work out. I have currently began taking one about an hour or 30 minutes prior to give my muscles something to work with. This helps me not only with working out and building muscle but with weight loss as it keeps my metabolism activated.



Morning
I take a multivitamin (animal pak). I also take an acai/goji berry extract and Omega 3 supplement.

Lunch
Tuna Sandwich, fat free ranch instead of mayo on whole wheat bread.


Pre-Work out
I am hooked on NO2 (I wont get into a discussion of brands here). I only recommend it if you feel it. I first tried No Xplode when a buddy said it had no effect for him. I took it, went to the gym, and curled up to a 55 pound dumbbell. What I felt is unexplainable. We have been trying to figure out why it worked for me but not my friend, and best as i can figure he wasnt doing heavy weights at the time. This will have to by cycled. I also take testoterone, which you don't need unless you're around my age. It also has to be cycled. If nothign more, it keeps my voice deep and prevents man ****s.

Intra Workout
I have tried many things to take during a work out and dislike them all so for. I just drink water, nonstop due to the way I prespire.

Post Work Out
I immediately take a creatine monodrate shake (I prefer Cell Tech). I wait 20 minutes and take a quick- absorbing protein. Then I start dinner and have my post work out meal.

Bed time
I take Casein protein which is a slow-digesting protein. You can skip the cost by simply eating a half cup of non fat cottage cheese; i'll stick with my casien. I also like to take some metamucil to ensure i have enough fiber to balance out my high- protein diet.

I never was so disciplined about eating except to eat 3 balanced meals when I
was into bodybuilding.I drank Gatorade when I worked out and sometimes a
Wieder drink you mixed with water.I took protien on and off and vitamins sometimes.
It took me 3 years to get my arms from 15 1/2" to 18" and I was 34 when I started.
I benched 385 for one rep when I was 50 years old.
I have had 3 surgeries for hernias incurred from the weights and do no heavy stuff
anymore.It was a blast though in the old black iron gyms,the cameraderie and the
trash talking we did to each other was priceless.I wouldn't change a thing.

Yeah I try to be safe, but there is always the chance of an injury or wearing out a disk or a rotator cuff.

A note about my pre workout routine. I got home completely exhausted with my feet aching. I forced down some Cytonox, a NO2 mix and my testoterone. I told myself that if after 15 minutes, I didnt feel like going, I would make it a rest day.

But I found myself in the gym pushing my biceps harder than normal. Did some preacher drop sets with the help of a good friend who pushed me to the limit today.

That's what this does for me: gives me the energy not only to go to they gym, but to work hard and finish strong. I like it so much I have 3 brands in house.

Cell tech seems to help me keep my pump longer.
