Just wondering how long after you eat to take nitro. Then how long after that to lift?
Take nitro on an empty stomach (maybe an hour after you eat). You can lift right after that. I prefer to take Nitro right after I train or during my training.
how you been brother?
how's bulkin?
are you working with dave on it?
any guest posses yet?
LOL i think it is enough for today
best wishes man!
keep rocking
Training is going well Krazy. I'm not all out bulking right now. Just training hard, eating a satisfying quantity of food, and getting plenty of rest. I don't feel like it's a good idea to go from depletiung myself to all out stuffing myself. I feel that your system has to be ready for it. I use Dave's pre-contest diet in the offseason and just add 40-50g of carbs per meal. Once I plateau with that, I just add another meal. If I plateau again, then I add anohter meal. But in all honesty, 6 meals is usually relaly all I need. Besides, quality calories are far more important in my opinion than quanity.
No guest posings so far but I will keep all you guys posted.

THE TOUGHTEST LIFT of all... is your ASS off the couch
I know this is coming a little late but first let me start out by saying Team Effort was a great article and you're going to tear up the stage as a pro. Anyway my question is whether or not you think NOX3 and GH Max would be a good bulking stack. I will have gone through 4 cycles of MStak and am ready to switch things up soon, but I am 20 and don't want to go for the test boosters quite yet. It seems like you are the pro with the most GH Max experience, and I saw that you mentioned a while back you were taking NOX3, and I was wondering if you think this would be a good bulking combo as an alternative to MStak. I will also be taking Pak, Pump, Storm, Nitro, and Uni-Liver as the foundational supps, and no worries about the diet or training- I am constantly eating clean foods and busting my ass with the weights.
Any feedback would be great.
Here's a little something I know you'll appreciate Ox. I only have a very small part of Italian in me, but I could relate to a lot of this being mostly European and living that life style:
Subject: Christmas Eve at my parents
I thought it would be a nice idea to bring a date to my parents' house on Christmas Eve. I thought it would be interesting for a non-Italian girl to see how an Italian family spends the holidays.
I thought my mother and my date would hit it off like partridges and pear trees.....I was wrong! I had only known Karen for three weeks when I extended the invitation. "I know these family things can be a little weird," I told her, "but my folks are great, and we always have a lot of fun on Christmas Eve."
"Sounds fine to me," Karen said.
I told my mother I'd be bringing Karen with me. "She's a very nice girl and she's really looking forward to meeting all of you."
"Sounds fine to me," my mother said.
And that was that.
Two telephone calls. Two sounds-fine-to-me. What more could I want? I should point out, I suppose, that in Italian households, Christmas Eve is the social event of the season -- an Italian woman's reason for living. She cleans. She cooks. She bakes. She orchestrates every minute of the entire evening. Christmas Eve is what Italian women live for. I should also point out, I suppose, that when it comes to the kind of women that make Italian men go nuts, Karen is it. She doesn't clean. She doesn't cook. She doesn't bake. And she has the largest breasts I have ever seen on a human being! I brought her anyway.
7 p.m. - We arrive.
Karen and I walk in and putter around for half an hour waiting for the other guests to show up.
During that half hour, my mother grills Karen like cheeseburger on the barbecue determines that Karen does not clean, cook, or bake.
My father is equally observant. He pulls me into the living room and notes, "She has the largest breasts I have ever seen on a human being!"
7:30 p.m. - Others arrive.
Zio Giovanni walks in with my Zia Maria, assorted kids, assorted gifts. We sit around the dining room table for antipasto, a symmetrically composed platter of lettuce, roasted peppers, black olives, anchovies and cheese....no meat of course. When I offer to make Karen's plate she says, "No Thank you." She points to the anchovies with a look of disgust.... "You don't like anchovies?" I ask. "I don't like fish, Karen announces to one and all as 67 other varieties of seafood are baking, broiling and simmering in the next room.
My mother makes the sign of the cross.
Things are getting uncomfortable. Zia Maria asks Karen what her family eats on Christmas Eve.
Karen says, "Knockwurst."
My father, who is still staring in a daze, at Karen's chest, temporarily snaps out of it to murmur, "Knockers?"
My mother kicks him so hard he gets a blood clot.
None of this is turning out the way I'd hoped.
8:00 p.m. - Second course.
The spaghetti and crab sauce is on the way to the table. Karen declines the crab sauce and says she'll make her own with butter and ketchup. My mother asks me to join her in the kitchen. I take my "Merry Christmas" napkin from my lap, place it on the "Merry Christmas" tablecloth and walk into the kitchen.
"I don't want to start any trouble," my mother says calmly, clutching a bottle of ketchup in her hands. "But if she pours this on my pasta, I'm going to throw acid in her face."
"Come on," I tell her. "It's Christmas. Let her eat what she wants."
My mother considers the situation, then nods.
As I turn to walk back into the dining room, she grabs my shoulder.
"Tell me the truth," she says, "are you serious with this tramp?"
"She's not a tramp," I reply. "And I've only known her for three weeks."
"Well, it's your life," she tells me, "but if you marry her, she'll poison you."
8:30 p.m. - More fish.
My stomach is knotted like one of those macramé plant hangers that are always three times larger than the plants they hold. All the women get up to clear away the spaghetti dishes, except for Karen, who, instead, lights a cigarette.
"Why don't you give them a little hand?" I politely suggest. Karen makes a face and walks into the kitchen carrying three forks.
"Dear, you don't have to do that," my mother tells her, smiling painfully.
"Oh, okay," Karen says, putting the forks on the sink. As she reenters the dining room, a wine glass flies over her head, and smashes against the wall. From the kitchen, my mother says, "Whoops."
More fish comes out. After some goading, Karen tries a piece of scungilli, which she describes as "slimy, like worms." My mother winces, bites her hand and pounds her chest like one of those old women you always see in the sixth row of a funeral home.
Zia Maria does the same. Karen, believing that this is something that all Italian women do on Christmas Eve, bites her hand and pounds her chest. My Zio Giovanni doesn't know what to make of it. My father's dentures fall out and chew a six-inch gash in t he tablecloth.
10:00 pm. - Coffee, dessert.
Espresso all around . A little anisette. A curl of lemon peel. When Karen asks for milk, my mother finally slaps her in the face with a cannoli. I guess it had to happen sooner or later.
Karen, believing that this is something that all Italian women do on Christmas Eve, picks up a cannoli and slaps my mother with it.
"This is fun," Karen says.
Time passes and believe it or not, everyone is laughing and smiling and filled with good cheer - even my mother, who grabs me by the shoulder, laughs and says, "Get this bitch out of my house."
Sounds fine to me.

This is for real, but it didnt happen to me, sorry if it came across that way. I just thought it was hysterical b/c I know how it is when I visit with my Italian relatives, lol.

ahh...
fifty-two pages of hard hitting raw information on Evan Centopani's Bodybuilding schemes.
I don't post much, I actually follow that, "Listen twice as much as you talk" method.
But Ox, I always wondered how you were so chiseled, I use to tell myself...
I need to look like him, just not as big... Size will come in time.
Basically, I'm 16, and I'm hardcore loving your information.
Keep it coming Evan.
It will only keep young guys like me in the game longer and longer.
Anyhow, I just got done my last meal and some newly purchased fish oil and I'm going to sleep.
What are your thoughts about sleep? I've had trouble catching z's because of the eggs I put away before bed, and I've heard melatonin is a great supplement for sleep-aid.
Hey Evan
Hope you're doing well

Holy shit bro...that was funny. It's 11:30 at night and I'm gettin ready to go to sleep but I checked the forvm first and I'm sittin' here at my computer laughing outloud. The best part was when she said she doesn't like fish and she says she eats knockwurst and your father mumbles "knockers". Holy shit that's funny. And the ketchup on the pasta?! That's great. Anyways, awesome story bro. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a happy new year. Peace

Thanks bro. As for sleep...what can I say except that it's key. If you have a hard time sleeping on a full stomach (I sleep best on a light stomach) then try eating your last meal at least 45 minutes before bed. If I'm too full I'll sleep like shit. Forget melatonin...too strong. I've been using ZMA Pro and it knocks me the hell out. I don't even wake up to take a leak for at least 6 hours. I hit the pillow and I'm out. If that doesn't work (although I'm confodent it will) try popping some GABA before bed.

I'm glad you liked Team Effort. Thanks man. As for the stack I really like GH Max but would probably opt for Amino Tech and NOX3 over the Gh Max. If you could swing all three then by all means do it but good aminos are just so important in my opinion that their importance comes before something like GH Max.

Hey bro. Diet looks great. The only thing I'd change is use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats. Depends on your goal. If you want more size then just add another meal of whole food. Otherwise, keep it the same. Supps look spot on too. Your using Pak right? Make sure you got a solid multi. Otherwise, you should be good to go. Good seein' you in Brooklyn too. Happy holidays to you and yours as well. Peace bro.

Thanks for the quick response Ox, you're the man - best of luck in all your comps.
Let me rephrase that - best wishes for all your comps - no luck necessary.
