Macbeth's food and training log

[Macbeth417]

I've been away from lifting for a year or so and had some medical problems in the mean time which resulted in me losing some mass. So now that all is well I'm getting back into things. The first month or so was just to get my body back in the rhythm and used to recovering. Now that I'm stepping things up, I thought I would keep a log to help me analyze and focus.

All in all I've just come into my third month back and have gone from 165lbs to 185lbs, so things are going well. Though I anticipate weight gain to slow a great deal from here on out as 180 is my natural weight. My shortterm goal is to hit 205 inside of 6 months, which I think is reasonable; 4 months at 5lbs a month.

I'll get my info together and polish this up later today. Just wanted to get this started.

Here is my supplement stack/schedule:

Nothing fancy here, no magic elixirs or new SUPER-products, just what I know works and has worked for me over the years.

Whey/weight gainer:
ON whey
Nlarge2
I try to eat as much real food as possible and drink shakes only after workouts and before bed, generally with a banana and some oats. Sometime honey and olive oil added.

Creatine:
Creatine Monohydrate
Loaded 5days @ 15grams a day
Currently 3-4mg a day
I do not cycle my creatine.
I only go off if I am going to take another product that is a diuretic or will require my body to make use of the water that the Creatine utilizes.

Multivitamin:
Kirkland men’s multi (need to get something to replace this one)
Animal Pak
I take the Universal A-Pak on training days, 30mins before workout and about 15mins after preworkout meal with lots of water. Take the regular multi on non-training days about the same time of day. Usually with some fat(flax or olive oil).

Preworkout Thermo:
GNC Thermo Power Rush
Used to use Ephedrine(EAC), but now that that is harder to get a hold of I'll settle for old fashioned caffeine and ginseng.
Take one to one and half tab 10mins before prework out meal; about 45mins before my workout. I've found this timing to work best for me.

Flaxseed oil:
Flaxseed oil
6grams a day, with or without meals. Often with men’s multi on non-training days.


Other odd and ends:
Amino fuel whey tabs(got on discount for 70% off) Pop a few of these if I feel the carb/protien balance is off on a meal, but generally I stick to real food.
Egg white protein
Added night time shakes, rarely.



Water:
1-1.25gals a day.

Welp, I've got everything down on paper, just have to transfer it over here. With moving and school and new job hunt simply haven't had time.

Just wanted to update that yesterday I hit 195 from my starting point of 165lbs 11 weeks weeks back. Thanks god for muscle memory. I'll really try to get this all up including all my stats and my log/lift records tonight.


30lbs done 15 more to go until I hit my first goal...
