New Routine and New Supplements

My new goal lately is to gain mass and size!  I've taken a little time away from the gym for two reasons: to allow my new tattoo time to heal and to allow for weight gain.  Before the break I had been tearing it up in the gym but found I was stuck at a plateau where I wasn't seeing the results or making the gains I demand of myself.  The hardest thing for me to do was to stay out of the gym but it definitely made a difference.  The numbers on the scale are proof.  For the longest time I was stuck between 165 and 170 lbs.  Today I weighed myself and I'm proud to report that I've finally broken the plateau!!! I'm now weighing in at 178 lbs and damn stoked!

Time away from the gym is extremely important but definitelynot the only reason for my recent success.  Diet is also obviously extremely important but the factor that I'd like to give credit to for this post is supplementation.  Besides the obvious and essential protein shakes I've introduced a few important helpers:

1.) GNC Brand Multivitamin - Super important since our diets are sometimes lacking in specific nutrients.
2.) Musclepharm Creatine  - Almost a necessity when training for muscle mass gains.
3.) Omega 3-6-9 complex - Since the omegas are not covered by the multivitamin.
4.) USPS Jack3d Pre-workout - To make sure you get the most from every workout.
5.) Agent M - BCAA complex - Recent studies outline the important role Branch Chain Amino Acids play in training progress.
6.) Glutamine Capsules - L-Glutamine is an amazing product! It does a number of things but mainly it significantly aids in muscle repair/recovery and it boosts the immune system to keep you strong and in the gym.

That's a comprehensive list of all the supplements I'm currently on.  It may sound like a lot but really it's not that much and they all play an important role on the road to success.  The best thing about this list is that ALL SUPPLEMENTS ARE 100% NATURAL!!!  Natural is the only way for this guy.  No short cuts, no bull@$#& steroids and most of all no cheating myself.  Everything I've accomplished and will accomplish will be done through nothing but hard work, blood, sweat and tears and with the help of my favourite website/supplement supplier - www.bodybuilding.com.

Current progress pictures are coming really soon!
