So here is a professional saying MOST men cant gain IN A YEAR what you claim to have gained in 6 months.

Do I know what I am talking about?

Here is my resume:

Body builder for 30 years, competitive for 10, on the the cover of Strength and Health Jan 1986, Awarded "most promising body builder state of Florida 1985", 1985 Mr York Classic 1st place middleweights (Orlando FL), 1985 Mr Suncoast 1st middleweights and OVERALL winner (all weight classes)Tampa FL, Mr Florida 1985 5th place, Mr Alabama 1987 3rd place, Mr Southern USA 2006 over 40's 2nd place.

I also wanted to note that my bench max was 550 lbs when in my twenties and I again broke 500 on the bench at 43 years old (525 lbs).

6 months after I competed in the Mr Southern USA in 2006 I was hit by a drunk driver and spent 7 months in the hospital from severe injuries. I can no longer lift or compete in a serious manner. I still have the knowlege and exp though.

That is incredibly impressive! I am honored to even be in the same thread!!
I can only hope to have that kind of a resume.

What kinda diet did you maintain? Are you a believer in supplementation?

When I was competing I was on a 12,000 calorie a day diet. I took in 30 grams of protien every 2 hours. My off season body weight was around 250 lbs. I took Ultra mega vitamins in the AM, about 3000 mg of C a day, NO2's, lots of whey, and creatine.

I did believe in supplements and have done just about anything you can name. I have not done growth because my main competitive time was BEFORE it was heavily used. Other things, yes, HGH no. I do know quite a bit about this and other grey market things but am no longer directly involved with these items.

I dont agree with another posters comments about NO2's. They do work, they are good, and they do make a difference. They need to be a good brand (high quality) and taken very frequently. You can skimp on protien brands but not on NO2 brands. It also helps if you are taking creatine with the NO2's.

Anyone recommend any BCAA brands? I am currently looking at the Met-Rx softgel tablets.

Any specific reason why you prefer xtend? It's pretty expensive too.

It didn't have a ton of other garbage in it that I didn't need, and tastes good. I only use it during workout.

I prefer TrueProtein.com brand. They have a fantastic reputation, provide lab analysis of all their products online, you can choose your own flavour and they are about 1/2 the cost of their competitors...

/\ very impressive Blue, I hope that despite your injuries, you are at least able to train a little bit, if nothing else, for the mental stress relief aspect of it. Thanks for sharing your competitive history with everyone in here.

I must have seen the wrong price for them cause they calculated out to a ridiculous price per serving when I looked at them.

Superior Amino 2222 Caps by Optimum Nutrition - OP-7015 - at The Vitamin Shoppe

20 bucks for 150 tablets isn't too bad.

Well I did so I guess I'm the outlier. I haven't been able to do it again though. It was the Rocky 4 Soundtrack that did it.

Love your avi pic, I'm going to see the statue next month on the way to the boxing hall of fame.
