The last six months or more I have been working out without any supplements I have not ever taking a lot of supplements in my life. I can make a two pound container of protein last three or more months.

I would only drink a serving of protein if food was not available and food is always around me. The last time I used creatine the bottle lasted for almost a year. I don’t know why I never got into all those different supplements maybe because I did not see any use in them if you ate enough food.

I have been drinking more water lately and because of the higher water intake I loss ten pounds. I usually weigh 205lbs now I am at 195lbs.

I am not happy with that because I see these guys on UFC fighting at 175lbs and they are the same height as me but in a lot better shape.
So I am now going to substitute some of my meals for supplements, instead of sandwiches I will drink a protein drink and I will start drinking a protein drink before and after my workouts. Which protein drink I will drink? I am think I will try the advice on Bodybuilding.com for my choice.

Its almost been one week now since I started the Creatine and Glutamine supplements. I started those supplements because I lost a lot of weight and most of that weight has been muscle weight. My strength has also dropped a lot so I decided to changed my training routine to a four day split instead of three days. The supplements are suppose to help me recover faster from the workouts and allow me to train harder. The second day after taking the supplements I felt stronger but that might have been a mental thing.
Now my training routine is legs on day 1, shoulders biceps and forearms on day 2, back on day 3 and chest and triceps on day 4. This give my body parts a extra day to rest, recover and grow. My routine before was chest shoulder and triceps on day 1, back biceps and forearms on day 2 and legs on day 3. Abs and calves are thrown in randomly, I do those body parts when I have time to squeeze them in.
I know it has not been a full week yet but I should feel a little more rested and a little stronger.
Yesterday I did legs and I did 2 less reps than I normally do on the leg press with the heaviest weight and then I got dizzy when trying to do squats, so I stopped and then went real light the rest of the workout. Today I could not go heavy on shoulders like I wanted too and my biceps workout was shity, only six total sets. I did play Racquetball last night for an hour and a half but doubles and you don’t run as much or exert yourself as much in doubles.
I bitching because I want to see progress as fast as the roid boys but as a natural bodybuilder. Training natural is a science and my research and experiments are still in its infant stages. Well now at least I am doing 30 minutes of cardio after my workout today. This give me my Blog posting time and it makes the time go by much faster. Tomorrow is my back day and I will train hard the go to the beach to work on my tan, which tanning is the easy part for me because I am naturally tanned since I come from Trinidad.

I am training now to get in shape to enter a natural body building competition in the next 12 months. I will be writing about my training routine and everything I am doing to accomplish my goal. I just purchased my first 2 supplements last week, Creatine and Glutamine. I will take these supplements and record my progress.
