Major Gains

Hello!! I’ve been hearing you guys want updates.. so I finally have some updates for you all! Life is busier as ever! Hence the lack of posting. Anyway, this is what’s new with me! I’ve been following that hypertrophy & strength program I was telling you about and I LOVE it. I’ve made MAJOR strength gains- I re-tested my 1 rep max this week and went from a 195 deadlift to 215 pound deadlift in 4 weeks, my squat went from 130 pounds to 150 pounds in 4 weeks, and my bench went from 110 pounds to 115 pounds in 4 weeks. Plus I’m leaner, have more visible muscle definition, and I’m burning carbs like crazy. It’s pretty sweet! I”ll have to take some progress pictures soon for you all If any of you are interested in a program like that, I’d recommend the 5/3/1 program- it’s very similar to what I’m doing! Food wise, I’ve been sorta living off protein powder as the majority of my protein sources. I’m not sure how I feel about that.. there’s nothing wrong per-se and it’s delicious! The only thing is that I really should limit my milk consumption (whey is considered a milk product and my allergy tests came back positive for being allergic to milk). But if I were to give up everything I’m allergic to food-wise (egg whites and milk) I’d basically have to live off meat..and I don’t really wanna do that! LOL. I’ve been doing allergy shots for the last 6 weeks though and it’s definitely helping. And in other news… I must confess.. I’ve been using pre-workouts now for a few months! LOL. ALTHOUGH BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY SUPPLEMENTS, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FOR INTERACTIONS WITH MEDS OR DIAGNOSES!! Anyway, my favorites are Jack3d for upper body days and SuperPump Max for lower body days. The sour apple SuperPump tastes exactly like a green apple jolly rancher.. LOVE! I like the pre-workouts for the energy and endurance they give me. I don’t get all those funny sensations people talk about and haven’t noticed any huge pumps (haha) but I do love the extra oomph they give me. Hmm..well that’s all I’ve got for now!! Have a great one!
