It's that time of year once again, spring is in the air and summer is on the horizon. It's time to hit the beach, lay out at the pool, or just be Johnny six pack. Whatever the case may be, it all starts with preparation. We all need to have a goal to working toward, whether it is 5lbs. or 15 lbs.

I start my day off by doing 3cc of Liquid Clenbutrx, and then I'm off to the gym at 5am for 30 minutes of cardio. This is followed by my 1^st of 7 meals of the day.  Remember, the goal is to treat your body like a fire place: if you are constantly putting fuel in your body (food) your metabolism will keep running. If we wait too long then we are trying to jump start it all over.  Picture putting a log on a fire that's out; you get nothing but smoke.

I try to get a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber. Meal One for me normally consists of a cup oatmeal, 15 egg whites, and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Throughout the day, my other meals consist of 1 protein source (fish, chicken, beef or egg whites), carbohydrates (brown rice, sweet potato, white rice, oat meals or grits), and a veggie (asparagus, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower), and I normally drink 1½ gallons of water with 4 scoops of power shock in it. 

My training split consists of 2 days on, 1 day off. Since I train at the end of my work day I take a nap first. Upon awakening and on an empty stomach, I take VPX Hemogex (a growth hormone & IGF inducer) followed by a serving of Synthesize, and sip on Power Shock throughout my workout. My workout is normally lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour, with 4 exercises and 12 to 15 reps per set. I always add VPX FiberTeq, Glutamine and Zero Carb SRO to my post work-out meal.

Summer is in the air, I'll see you at the beach!!

Walk into any gym, anytime of day, any place in the world, take a look around and ask any member what they really want to accomplish; we're all just trying to put on some size, just trying to get big. Well, as most of us know, it's a combination of everything; diet and training are essential elements to attaining ultimate mass gaining goals. However, what happens when your dieting like a pro and training like a beast but just not seeing the results you desire? I found the answer to this dilemia. I'v never been a really big user of pre-workout supplements, until I found the most intense pump I've ever experienced.

It's 6am; I arrive at the gym; tired, drained, and unmotivated I set down my bag and pull out my lifting gloves. I finish sipping my shaker I've mixed with VPX no shotgun, my first experience with the mixture. As I make my way over to the dumbbells all of a sudden im feeling a little excited; a little tingle flowing through my body. I pick up 80 lb dumbbells to warm up on the incline chest press. As I push through my sets, flying through them, I get to my last set of 150 lbs and fly past my normal finish at 8 reps. I stand up and feel the most amazing, skin splitting pump I've ever felt. Not only could I increase the intensity during my workout, but I had more stamina to push harder and really feel the fruits of my labor. After a grueling 45 minutes of heavy chest training I replenished my muscle with NO Synthesize to help with muscle recovery and muscle growth. I was hooked. Continuously I used the two products and experienced explosive muscle growth, pushing past barriers I could never surpass before. The VPX NO-Shotgun and NO-Synthesize give you the fat burning and energy you need to make it through an intense mass building workout and deliveries creatine consistently throughout your entire body, and the best part, without bloating!

Ultimately, I've seen an incredible change in my gains. I've blown through walls and added the mass I've long desired to stay completive at the pro level . So, if your one of the many that seems to be just going through the motions and hoping to gain mass, grab your self the explosive combo of VPX NO-Shotgun and NO-Synthesize and reach the goals you've long desired.
