Hello All,

Thought I'd give you some insight on my split/diet/supps. Looking forward to getting into project stak. I'm guessing it'll help me achieve some good results.

Diet;

Basically 1.5gs of protein per pound of weight. .5-1gs of fat per pound of weight. Carbs minimal at best except for post workout where I will be consuming the majority of my daily carbs (50-60gs). Gallon of water a day and green tea. I'll be adding in one cheat meal a week. Pretty vanilla stuff. Not looking to reinvent the wheel. If I can pull it from the ground or kill it, then I'll eat it.

May add in some cleansing stuff here... Kale/Spirulina/Cabbage/etc.... May add some juices, but want to be very careful here so not to add in a lot of unnecessary sugar.

Split;

I believe in working out everyday or at least 6 days of the week. As long as groups are split by 48hrs, I think you're in the clear. Each split will revolve around compound lifts. Leg day = Squats/Presses. Back = BB rows/weighted pullups/Deads. Chest = BB press/weighted dips. Shoulders = Seated overhead press BB/DB. Full body means olympic lifts/circuits (Rows to press to squat for example... ya it sucks).

Cardio... Well, I'm up in the air on the effectiveness of cardio. I may just do 10-15 of HIIT after each workout. If I'm not leaning out properly, I may add in fasted cardio and/or post workout.

Monday; Legs/Core
Tuesday; Back/Biceps
Wednesday; Chest/Triceps
Thursday; Shoulders/Calves/Core
Friday; Quads/Arms
Saturday; Full body
Sunday; Repeat cycle or focus on core/cardio/lagging body parts

ATP Day 1

Took Supplement. Within 30 mins was 'feeling' product.

Workout; Shoulders/Calves/Abs

10 min cardio warm up

DB lat raise to front raise to upright row; 3x10 each movement
Seated DB Shoulder press; 4x10/8/6/6 increasing weight

Felt good. Definitely didn't get 'tight' as easy. Weight felt the same, but my body wasn't as fatigued during. It's early in the game, but I'm hoping to go up in weight as I go. So far, so good.
