ANDRO\'S Journey of CAN and WILL
 

I decided to start posting on this website after talking with Gabe at the gym the other day. Gabe(Venom) is one of the nicest, most intelligent guys i've ever been around. I post over at bb.com but i'll start posting over here as well. A little background on myself, I will graduate this May with a BS in Exercise Science from Southeast Missouri State University. I am currently interning in Dr. Huey's lab at the University of Illinois where i'm studying muscle. Next year I will be a GA at Southeast Missouri State where I will be pursuing my MS in Nutrition, Exercise Science. The plan is to come back up here in 2 years to pursue my PhD under Dr. Huey. I've competeted twice and i've picked up 3 third place trophies. I am currently bulking and plan on competing again the summer of '09.

The supplements i currently take are

Syntrax Matrix 5.0
Xtend
Primal N20
Multivitamin
Creatine Mono
Beta-Alanine

one badass workout tonight...i'm a very vocal person when i'm training and tonight i felt as though there were 2 guys kind of mocking me a little bit. i don't take kindly to (!@#$%^&*) like that...and to some people they blow it off because they say those people don't people matter anyway...well that's not the way i think...it makes me train harder and harder because i tell myself every rep is one more rep to taking that person completely out. it might be the wrestler attitude in me idk, but when i get the sense that somebody is poking fun at the way i lift i flip the switch and i'm ready to go to war. anyway, here's how tonight went...

incline bilateral db curls-55's for 12
cross body hammer curls-60's for 8
donkey raises
db romanian deadlifts-150's for 20
leg press-715 for 8

abs

Re: ANDRO\'S Journey of CAN and WILL
 

change of plans with cardio. halfway through HIIT, my friends knees started to bother him a little bit so we went ahead and finished with 15 minutes on the elliptical.

wooh, that is a lot of fat! I see you are a high fat diet man. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Layne introduced me to that popcorn when I first came up here. It is fantastic; loaded with fiber, very filling.

I like your split. I often alternate between heavy and light days myself. Very effective method. Jake and I wrote about the style a while ago, http://abcbodybuilding.com/periodizationindex.php
