Mstak2 seems to be the unknown soldier around here. I've been on the pak since december. It has alot of the stuff I was buying individually. Before I came accross Animal Paks, my wife thought I was insane for taking 7-10 different pills at a time, multiple times per day. She wanted to know why I had to have sooo many different bottles of stuff all the time. The Animal Pak cut that all out for me and made my life simpler.
I found this website and started reading the articles and found alot of internal motivation. I tried stak2 preworkout and mstak2 postworkout. Previously, I had taken tribulous and saw palmetto along with zma. I liked the results. I would even take 2 scoops of methoxy-pro mixed with 2 scoops of nox-cg3(It was on the clearance table at the local vitamin shoppe, no way in hell I’m paying 60.00 for a month of creatine) about 15 minutes after my stak2 for my preworkout. Together, they taste like ass. Hell, methoxy-pro by itself tasts like gritty ass. But I think the combo was effective...
I've since cut out the stak2. I've switched to mstak2 as my pre-workout supplement of choice. Stak2 did not make me feel noticeably different pre-workout. Testosterone-wise, I didn't have the same high test indicators. I've switched to mstak2 as my pre-workout supplement, and I can feel a rush within about 5 minutes of taking it. Combining it with methoxy-pro as my preworkout drink had me sweating and "up" before I even walked into the gym. That mental rush, is more important to me than anything else. The rest of that stuff is nice, but it washs away. The mstak stays and helps me be focused and intense. It doesn't give me pimples and it doesn't make my balls hang any lower, but I can tell the difference in my attitude and lifts with it and without it... And since you have to cycle it, there will be times without it...
My current routine is animal pak first thing in the am followed by 10 soft boiled egg whites, half a cup of oatmeal, 4 grams of flax seed oil (pills) with 16oz of skim milk to drink. I total that up to about 56grams of the best protein on the planet. I'm open to suggestions about the amount of good fats I should add to that meal.
My post workout meal is the same and so is my last meal of the day. I've switched to 10g of micronized creatine mixed with 8oz of grape juice as my preworkout drink followed 15 minutes later by 2 scoops of whey or methoxy-pro, depending on what my budget allows.
Immeadiate post workout is either 2 scoops of whey or methoxy-pro, once again depending on what my budget allows. I drink it sitting in the car outside the gym. I have about a 20-25 minute drive home from the gym. As soon as I get in the house, I have either half a pound of lean 93/7 ground beef with some broccolli or my egg/oatmeal/flaxseed/skim milk combo.
I'm consistent about my meals. The only variance is whether I am working out in the afternoon or evening. I'm not a morning person, but it’s nice to be at the gym between 5-6 and to have it all to yourself. It helps me to get inside my own head.
I almost forgot, My name’s Bobby. Online, I go by Nphocus (ie In Focus, no, I’m not a photographer). I’m 31 years old, 5’10” tall, 276lbs and unknown% of bodyfat. If I had to guess I would say 20-25% bodyfat. I’ve never been athletic. The best shape I’ve ever been in was after finishing basic in 93 @ 180lbs. Since then, I’ve been doing desktop support, LAN/WAN networking, car audio, and a bit of drag racing. I race either my 2000 Ford Mustang GT or my 2007 VW GTI. I like anything with tits or wheels.
People in my family have a trend of being obese, suffering from cancer and dying from heart disease. When I was younger, I told myself that that would never be me. 15 years later, I found myself with consistent desk jobs and a 44” waist. Since about September I’ve been trying to fix that. I’ve been trying to learn more about the sport and the life. I’ve been trying to learn more about myself. I like heavy weights (that big number thing again), low reps, and lots of sets. I like running the rack or the stack, whichever applies. I’ve learned what the “pump” is. I’ve figured out what it takes to warm up to it, and then to work within it. I’ve found my Animal, but it’s not an easy place to reach. I can honestly say that in the 3-4 months that I’ve been working out, I’ve only found that mental/physical place once. But now that I know that it’s there, that the potential resides within me, I know I can find it again.
Bricks or shit. I choose to build my house out of bricks. Right now, I’m still clearing out a lot of shit. I resolve not to add anymore shit to my house. Shit comes in many guises. Wrath said shit is food, specifically bad food. For me, shit is stress. Shit is distractions. Shit is anything that doesn’t help me get further down the road of my choosing. Shit is anything that doesn’t make me happy or allow me to achieve my goals. Sometimes Shit is people.
