It's A Mentality

[CuttDeez]

I have been lifting for about 7 years. Most of the lifting I have done untill this past month have been performance enhancment for the sports I play (football, hockey, and Lacrosse). Now I have been turned on to powerlifting and competitions. My strength and conditioning coach turned me onto them because I am pretty lean, strong, and have a mind for it. So Here I go in my journey. I am currently 175 (5'9) and the last caliper test I did put me just under 6% BF. I want to get as strong as possible while not gaining too much weight so I stay in the same weight Class. I will try to keep the log updated with all my workouts and diet information.

I hope to provide some insight in these areas because I am also a personal trainer and pretty aware at what I put into my body. I appreciate any and all support. I would also love to answer any questions.

Remember that when it comes to the sport of lifting jsut get it done. It's a Mentality!

I keep my diet very clean. I eat 8 meals a day and do my best to stay in an anabolic state the entire day.

In terms of supplements I am new to the Animal world. I am getting Animal Pak, Animal Omega, and Animal Nitro in the mail today.

I really wanted a good vitamin so the pak seemed a must. I find that my diet is a little too clean and I don't get as much fat as I need so I wanted to try the Omega. I also decided that with the change in my routine maximum protein absortion was a must so I decided to give Nitro a try.

I thought about also getting the Pump and Cuts, but I am going to see how I like the other products first.

In terms of other supplements I take a Casien product before bed, and a waxy maize post workout.
