AC’s training update 04/02/10
Hi all, hope everyone is ok. This is just another quick update to my training progression.
the training routine is still going very well and i am progressing in strength. i finally reached a personal goal on tuesday of a total for deadlift bench and squat of 500kg.
i am still using the same supplements but have recently added the gaspari size on and millennium sport tec nitroceps. gaspari size on is one of my all time favourite supplements. every time i use it i see great gains in both size and strength. i have been using it this time for 6 days now and can already feel its benefits. my strength is improving dramatically and i am up to 95kg already!! I have bought it in the grape flavour and the taste is strong but nice. Some people may believe the size on to be expensive for what it is but i personally think it is worth every penny. the results are worth paying for. We will be getting the new size on maximum performance over the next few weeks so i will be very anxiously looking forward to that. The nitroceps have also been very good. After the amazing performance of the cre 02 i was anticipating a great product with the nitroceps. i wasnt disappointed. i had 6 caps before my upper body workout on monday and was amazed by how well they worked not only did i get an amazing pump but i felt fitter. i was breathing easier and enjoyed the trianing session a lot more.
I will be trying the new BSN no-xplode N-tensity soon so stay tuned for a review of that. i cant wait.
Happy training
AC
I started to read your articles Jan 2010 and I decided to copy your current training programme with a few changes here and there. I am not following your eating plan as I am aiming to put 6 pounds on by end of March 2010 and also because of my job I would struggle to eat every 2 hours. Like you I am now about to start the fifth week of the programme and really enjoying it SO far, makes a nice change to the split routine.
Changes I have made to your programme-
Mil Press- DB seated press
Stiff legged deadlift smith machine- DB stiff legged deadlift
Plus I only do 1 leg night
As I am also a hard gainer and have a extremely fast metabolism I am upping my calorie intake gradually and even then I struggle to keep it on board. I have stopped taking my usual Whey Protein shakes (Reflex or PHD) and swopped this for the Interactive Mammoth weight gainer and I am also taking vxp shotgun for the 1st time which I do rate.
Much to my surprise I have not put a pound on in 4 weeks but My strengh is increasing dramatically. I only weigh 70kg but I am Now Benching 90kg comfortably, Squating 100kg the same and my personal fav Deadlift which is currently at 130kg and will be going up again this week. I do not weigh a pound more but My arms, chest and lats have all grown and people are making comments and this isnt just when I have a pump on in the gym thanks to vxp
.
However I am not currently doing the light training session on legs and I am going for a run/ doing some pad work as I do not enjoy cutting out cardio completley. I am aware this is cutting out 1/4 of the workout and this may reflect my lack of weight gain?!
Do you plan to post other training routines on here in future? I think this is a great idea and have really enjoyed following your plans and updates so far.
Any advice/comments would be appreciated on the above.
Keep up the good work AC.
