Welcome!

Welcome to my new training blog! Here you can follow me along in all of my training and dieting in detail, to see what I do to prepare for a fitness competition.

My next competitions will be:

I am in Phase 1 of my 18-week off-season training program. Each phase will last 6 weeks and focus on different goals. Phase 1 is a moderate-intensity/moderate-volume program to capitalize on the "anabolic wave" of post-contest.

Off-Season Nutrition

Supplementation
My current supplement list is pretty minimal. Just coming off competition season, I like to give my body a break from as many supplements as possible. In addition, most of my muscle-building will occur by following a detailed and properly timed diet.

-Centrum Performance Multi-Vitamin (AM)
-Animal Pak Multi-Vitamin (PM, Pre-workout)
-MHP Probolic-SR Protein (2 times daily)
-MHP Macrobolic Protein Bar (1 per day)
-MHP Releve joint aid (1-2 doses per day)
