Your Goals While Working With Us

My goals while working with the NTBM team is to become unstoppable.
What I mean by that is through this fitness program; from supplementation, diet and training requires drive, commitment and tenacity. As I am at the forefront of an extremely challenging business that I am about to embark on any day now, it Requires drive, commitment and tenacity for my inevitable success. Being the ‘Wallstreet warrior’ That I am, and being the best salesman I could be requires the utmost confidence that I feel goes
Hand in hand with fitness. So with that said, I would like to look at this fitness program as a mirror of success moving in tandem with building my commodities business.

So what do I really want? It has always been my dream to have a washboard 6-pack, Huge biceps and pecs, simply put – a perfect symmetrical body. In a perfect world, I would Love to obtain and sustain the body of the ‘ntbm model’ in the 3P training program banner (minus any Photoshop edits) I am not looking for this to happen overnight. I am patient and can endure the pain of working hard which is very pleasurable for me.

I would like to look at this goal as a 1 year project to achieve the poster boy’s physique from the ‘Powerhouse Progress Principles training’ banner. I will start off naturally for the first 3 months with HGH (unless other chemicals are recommended) and then move on to an AAS cycle for
The second quarter. If I do as told and see the progress in myself, the renewal fee’s is a small price to pay.

I would like to see my body weight around 200LBS but 4-6% body fat if you feel that is maintainable and livable (we could explore this more together). At the same time with my goals, surfing is a huge passion
of mine (as much as fitness if not more!) and do not want the two to conflict with each other.

So from this point forward, my ego is at the door, and I will hold myself accountable to what I say I want and what I’m about to do so I can have the success that I came here to get. Let’s rock!

**PLEASE NOTE**
I HAVE PRIOR COMMITMENTS TO SPEND TIME WITH MY WIFE’S AND MY FAMILY WHICH WILL SKEW THIS TRAINING PROGRAM.I WILL DO MY BEST TO KEEP ON TRACK, AND SHOW UP FOR ACCOUNTABILITY DURING THE TIME I AM IN MINNESOTA AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC DURING THE WEEKS OF – DECEMBER 18TH – JANUARY 8TH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Current Stats including height, weight and approximate body fat percentage*

I weigh approximately somewhere in the range of 205-212LBS.
Height is 5’11”
Bodyfat, 18%? (Don’t know how to test this but will get it done if necessary)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*History of training; how many years, types of training used, powerlifting, light pumping, etc.*

I have been training on and off for 18 years. For the last 5 years I have been very inactive as far as weights and focused more on Surfing and Boxing. However, for the last 3 months I have been dedicated and hitting the gym hard in which I’ll obviously keep doing!

As far as types of training, I have always mainly sticked with core compound exercises from Bench, Squats, Deadlifts, Legpress, Military Press, Dips, Straight Bar curls, Lateral Raises, Rows, Tricep pressdowns, and some machine/cable pully stuff. I have done negatives, drop sets, and very good at training with intensity and amping myself up when I work out. I usually keep my movements with strict form going as heavy as I can. I breathe heavily in and out and like to connect my muscle with my mind; mind muscle technique. I always visualize during training and block out everything except for the muscles that I am working on. Heck, I even remember sniffing ammonia with power lifters back in the days when I lived In NY and worked out at Iron Island. I was heavily into lifting when I lived in NY for sure. For
The last 5 years living in Southern California, I have picked up surfing and that definitely derailed my fitness realm for sure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Current nutritional outline including times that you usually wake up, go to bed and train. Please include types of foods, approximate times of meals, supplementation, vitamins, etc…*

As far as my schedule, this will be challenging to describe because I am in the process of adjusting it as I am starting out with my new business venture. However, it is a beautiful thing not having to answer to a boss which will give me the flexibility and freedom as I work out of my house.

As far as waking up, I am an early bird. I usually wake up around 5:00AM and go to sleep at 9:00PM. When I wake up, I usually have 2 probiatic yogurts from Trader joes along with 2 scoops of goldstandard whey (on) mixed with whole milk. After that, I usually surf ONLY WHEN THERE’S SWELL. If there is no swell, then I was going to the gym early but found that I was drained of energy and couldn’t lift the weight that I can in the afternoon. So if I don’t surf, then I will work and go later in the afternoon, give or take somewhere between 12:00PM – 2:00PM.

To get more in depth as far as my nutritional outline, here is my current shopping list of everything I eat….

From Costco...
Chicken Breasts (very hard for me to eat chicken (will gag) unless tender and with sauce. I usually make cutlets (egg/breadcrumbs) lightly fried in olive oil)
Turkey Burgers (Hard to eat but I manageable. I could tough this one out.)
Veal Rib Chops (I am sucker for these!)
Filet Mignon (will get a cheaper cut! Recipes are the key with me. Need it to taste yummy)
Center cut pork lion cutlets
Tilapia

Trader Joes...
Chicken Sausage (I love these!)
Non fat probiatic yogurt
Brown eggs grade A
Organic valley 2% milk (Use this with my shakes)
Essential Greens Veggie Juice
Wheat & Gluten free brown rice bread
Whole wheat Fettichini (Use a little organic marinara sauce)
Brown Rice
Organic oats & flax
Dr. Praegers California Veggie Burgers
Yams
Asparagus
Olive Oil
Mixed Raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews)
String cheese (Late night cravings will have one stick and a pickle)

On Powders...
Gold Standard Whey (Have when I wake up, before and after a workout)
Gold Standard Casein (Always have before I go to sleep)
Glycomaize (before and after workouts)

Here is a sample of what I might eat in a day but varies with foods above

(Have been eating this for the last 3 months)

meal 1: 2 scoops of whey with milk, 2 probiotic yogurts

Meal 2: 2 packets of whole oats/flax with milk (1TSP brown sugar)
8 eggs (1 yolk)

Meal 3: 2 scoops of whey with milk (before and after training)
2 scoops of glycomaze

Meal 4: 2 turkey burgers
bowl of whole wheat pasta (sub brown rice or yams or veggie burgers)

Meal 5: 2 Pieces of Tilapia (or veal chop, center cut pork, chicken cutlets)
Asparagus (10 spears)

Meal 6: 1 heaping scoop of Cassien with milk

Late night munchies: String cheese and pickle. I will also munch on raw nuts throughout the day here and there.

Overall, as far as nutrition. Here are the two most important things for me…
1. It must taste decent
2. I have to be efficient.
Can’t live in the kitchen trying to build a business. How can I make this SIMPLE and taste YUMMY!?

Supplements I am currently using
Bridge, need2slin, amplify before workouts, l-carnetine, glutamine, glucosamine & chondroitin, opti-men (multi), psyllium husks, and whole mega. I also use zip fizz (b12 drink mix) for energy. Protien powders by ON, gold standard whey, Cassain, and Glycomaize.

Human Growth Hormone
I am currently taking 2IU’s 3 days on 1 day off/ 2 days on 1 day off and was planning on sticking with it for 1 year straight. I am very interested in learning more about this and very open to switching or adding peptites/IGF-1, etc if recommended. Would like to be coached in this realm for sure!

*Your daily activity level. What you do for work and threw out the day. Do you sit at a desk all day or is your job much more physically demanding*


My activity level is pretty stagnant. Unless I am surfing, jogging, boxing or hitting the gym; I am sitting at my desk all day long. I do pace around sometimes when I speak on the phone because I have ADD…can we count that as cardio? j/k
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*What an average day is like for you from Monday To Friday…*

This is a tricky one. Like I said, I am in the midst of developing a schedule for running my business. I will get to a point where as I build my database, I will be setting up appointments that I have to commit to for potential investors. In the interim, this is how I see it and not married to it. We can work this out together…

As I usually surf dawn patrol (DEPENDING ON SWELL), that means I would be working by 9:00AM. Somewhere around 12:00PM – 3:00PM I would hit the gym depending on work load but would make sure to hit the gym around that block of time. As much as I love surfing and can work out and surf in the same day, I don’t want to over train and make sure I am eating enough too. So I was thinking of blocking out MON-TUE as GYM days only. On other gym days, I might surf in the morning and then hit the weights later… I feel that a schedule that would be most conducive to me would be to have gym days MON/TUE/FRI/SAT. Any suggestions? What are your thoughts?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Do you smoke,drink,take drugs and how often.*

I have been real bad with this. I do have a bad case of ADHD and gotten out of hand with my medicine. With my last business, I was a workaholic and started abused aderal taking 30mgs just about every day. I have done this for almost 2 years straight and know this will be detrimental to my success. I am very antsy and have a hard time relaxing and focusing; so I have justified my use of aderal for that reason. No more excuses, I am done with that ****. However, my actions will have to speak louder. Me saying I’m done since yesterday when it’s been 2 years of abuse won’t cut it.

We’re not done yet. Living in So. Cal, marijuana is legal for me as I have my medical card. Just as much as I was abusing the aderal, I was smoking almost every night to relax after a hard day of work. I know this is not good either. I have decided to limit smoking pot to no more than 1 night a week (fri or sat). If you feel this could be an issue, let’s discuss this…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Gear History*

As far as steroids, I haven’t used them in over 5 years. When I was doing it, I started off as a novice and then learning more about it as I was spending lots of time on Elite Fitness back in 2000-2003. Compounds I have used ranged from Sust, Enanthate, Cypionate, Deca, EQ, Winstrol, Tren, Primo, and Dianabol. Used HCG, Clomid and liquidex as ancillarys. Some gear was probably fake. When I cycled, I did 12 to 20 week cycles. I remember getting bloated easily; my nipples were very itchy and still have some gyno in my left nipple to this day because of it. I know I have shrunken my testicles permanently from cycling also (probably from doing things wrong). I sweat very easily to this day (don’t know if that was steroid related).

I am knowledgeable with injections as I have done over 100 of them ranging from quad shots(hate those), delts, biceps and glutes. At the height of cycling, I remember taking a gram of enanthate and 600MGS of EQ with tren ED (75) for 12-16 weeks (will never do large doses or TREN again!). As far as keeping gains, I have probably lost it all! After all, I have been terrible with working out (weights) over the last 5 years (but consistent for the last 3 months and BACK!.)

Overall, I have grown up and matured and would rather do less harsh cycles, keep bloat down and eliminate any chances for gyno happening. I am open to sacrificing some gains with the use of arimidex and/or arimason. I am excited to get back on gear and feel that I have given my body the break it has probably needed from such abuse! Today, I wan’t to be intelligent with cycling, do 2-3 cycles a year, get blood tests, and do everything conservative.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*What gear do I have on hand and access to… Can I get these compounds*

Here is the gear that I currently have on hand….
Enanthate 250mgs (20ml) x 2
EQ 400 (20ml)
EQ 200 (20ml)
Pregnyl HCG (5000IU) x 3
Arimason 25mgs (20 tabs) x 3
Clomid 50mg (30 tabs)
HCgenerate x 2 bottles
Post cycle x 3 bottles
Unleashed x 3 bottles
N2Guard x 3 bottles
T3 50 tabs (25 mcg tabs) x 2
Arimidex 1mg 20 tabs x 2


As far as my source on where I can get my gear, I would like to verify it to make sure I am in good hands. Figured it wouldn’t be appropriate to do it here so I guess we can discuss that another time Nate. Also, as far as having access to other compounds, I would prefer to keep everything in house so I will go with your recommendations in the future.

**PLEASE NOTE** As I am starting the training program, please keep in mind that I don’t plan on starting it until Late January/early February.
However, I would appreciate your help in setting up an in depth cycle, helping me cover all my bases for when I pull the trigger. As I would like to look at this training program as a 1 year commitment, I am planning on incurring 4 installments:)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Any notes on gear and supplements that have worked well for you in the past and gear and supplements that have NOT worked well in the past.*

From what I remember, winny hurt my joints (GH might be doing it now a bit too). Definitely prone to tendinitis in elbows,knees. Very prone to gyno. I will never do TREN again! Orals might be too hard for my liver although open to it if recommended. My favorite compounds for sure are Enanthate and EQ. Never did me wrong except when I ran a gram of it without proper ancillarys.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Please list any and all medications and why you are taking them*

Was abusing aderal for my ADHD problem as I discussed before along with medical marijuana. This is the past, let’s move forward. Done!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Current training schedule*

Was doing full body for the last 3 months every 3rd day…. (Combination of high and low reps, always switching thinking I’m doing muscle confusion)

Legs 4-5 sets
Chest 4-5 sets
Shoulders 4-5 sets
Back 4-5 sets
Biceps 3 sets
Triceps 3 sets
Abs 4-8 set
s

I am ready to do a split and if appropriate, would like to have gym days split up for FRI/SAT/MON/TUE. Keep in mind I have blocked out MON/TUE as only gym days which means I will never surf on those days regardless of swell. I want to prevent over-training as surfing takes a toll on the shoulders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Best times for you to do cardio and the time you are doing cardio now*

As far as cardio, I could easily commit to doing a jog on my local lagoon on any non-weight days.
I usually do a boxing class at the gym (if surf has been weak) which is high intensity for cardio too but heavy on the shoulders.
I’ll might have to cut out boxing depending on how much I am surfing (dependent on swell). Overall, I have lately been doing no cardio as I have been playing in the water a lot with these new winter swells coming in. As far as best times, I am open to cardio on any non-gym days.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*medical conditions*
Had a compound fracture on my right ankle in 97’. However that has not prevented me from doing anything strenuous. I’ve accepted the pain I have been feeling something weird internally for a little under a year and getting a sonogram on November 10th, so will notify you of anything if so. Otherwise, I’ll be o.k.

**Please note**, I want to be safe with the use of HGH, AAS and would like to be blood tested. Would appreciate consulting on this or where to go to be as safe as possible over the next year.

Great base to work with, AND you like such a variety of clean eating foods that it will really help give you more flexibility with your outline of your diet as well, and also keep you from getting bored! ;)

I am going to try braised flank steak tomorrow and simmer it in chicken stock, lemon and garlic... I love variety for sure!

And congratulations by the way! I am a newly wed too. In fact, it is my 1 year anniversary this Sunday.

save the ai's and the t-3 bro. We may use them during the cycle but I do not have it in the plans just yet we will see as we go along.



 
Sounds great! I like it:)
Just got to figure out where I can get Beastdrol.

What should I do with the unleashed?

Please keep in mind that I am not going to start the cycle until January 8th (which is when I get back home on vacation) as I am going to be gone for 3 weeks..

On the other hand, if you feel that it is o.k. to take a 3 week break and then get back on, I would start now but want to do things right. Let me know coach!

Also, where can I get a blood test before I begin so we have a bench mark to base things off of when I get my 'on cycle' blood work..

Any peptides I should incorporate with HGH?

Thanks again! I like my prescription...

Thank you very much!! and Happy Anniversary to you this coming weekend!!

I am a big fan of flank steak, especially when I diet... because I seem to sleep better and also have better energy when I keep it included. Since you keep a variety in your food anyways, I don't want to put you on a specific layout, but let's do something like this:

2 protein + carb meals
- each of which consists of 50g protein, 65-70g carbs

2 protein + fat meals
- each of which consists of 50g protein, 30g fats

2 protein + carb + fat meals
- each of which consists of 50g protein, 45-50g carbs, 20g fats

I would prefer that pre- workout be one of the meals containing all three macronutrients, post- workout be strictly protein and carbs, and your pre- bed meal be one of the protein and fats only. the other three can fall how they may! I like the list of foods that you already choose from though, so we will start there and only start limiting things if it becomes a need to be stricter. I know I for one tend to see a little bit better results when I diet though and keep in the variety of foods.
 
O.k. This is definitely a challenge for sure. I will track what I eat today and post it later tonight to see if I understand what you're asking for and guess we'll go from there..

What should I eat for fats? Also, does shakes count as a meal? thanks...

well the calories are only about 14-15 x your bodyweight, which is primed for maintenance, but it will give me a good idea of where your metabolism is at right now and to see how your body responds.

A shake WOULD count as a meal if it fits in those parameters, meaning it was accompanied by a carb or fat or both! ;)

I liked basically everything on your list of foods, but my favorite for fats (or what I tend to use more of anyways) are whole eggs, nuts, peanut butter, olive oil, and avocado.

How about working with weights 3 days a week? I don't care which 3 as long as there's a day off the gym in between them, and you don't wear yourself completely out doing whatever on that off day. Like, M, W, F, or Tu, Th, Sa, or Fri, Sun, Tues. I don't care as long as it's something like that.

I like to see that you have experience with heavy weights and compound lifts! I like it! I wish you had more consistent training recently, but we'll work with it.

Since you're not going to start the cycle till Jan, when do you want to start on a new training plan?

I've seen you use the word "intensity" a couple times, and once related to cardio.

Contrary to popular belief, "intensity" is defined as the percentage of your maximum lift that you are training with. Most people confuse "intensity" with "intensiveness", which is the subjective level of effort put forth.

So, while your cardio may be an intensive workout, it isn't a "high intensity" workout. :)

So when do you want a plan?
 
Hey Coaches! I was doing some heavy thinking and wanted your humble opinion on this. As you know, I am pumped for the training program and only plan on putting in 120%. However, I feel that I might of been to impulsive and jumped into a huge commitment to soon...

Why?

With thanksgiving, Christmas & New years coming up, along with getting my new business off the ground, I feel that I won't be able to give it my 120% where I would be cheating myself in this program. Basically, there will be a lot of gaps over the next 3 months at this point.

So with that said,
Here is how I see it...

when I get back from my 3 weeks of traveling on January 8th, I will have no distractions for a minimum of 6 months. Plus, that is when I will start my steroid cycle which I feel I should be monitored with anyway where I know I will get the most out of this program cause there will be no gaps.

What if we could pause the program and store me in records where we would resurrect this program on January 8th and give you the 120% I got at that point?
Coaches, Are you o.k. with me saying this?
What are your thoughts?

I kinda had a feeling this was going to be the case. But, I'm glad you realize what the circumstances are and that you won't be able to give your full commitment until things clear up a bit for you.

I don't have a problem with this. I'd rather you did it then when you're able to commit to the plan fully, rather than put in a lesser effort now and be dissatisfied with lesser results. :)
 
Appreciate that CEO.. I am going to continue to follow SBT's structure of the diet she outlined to the best of my ability till we get started. And then I'll let you know what training I have been doing in the interim.
 
It's totally fine by me as well!! :)
 
you know, this could be a good time to do a primer for a bulk. Basically, treat you almost like you're getting ready for a contest. Overtrain and undereat. Within reason I mean. Like I said, contest prep (natural of course). You'll lose fat and maybe just a little muscle mass. Call it a state of controlled catabolism.

What that will do is give you the the perfect setup to gain a ton of mass by creating an anabolic environment. "Starving" the body (sort of) to induce the body's survival response to up-regulate its ability to transport, store and utilize calories, nutrients, hormones, etc.

A perfect example of this is when a competing bodybuilder diets down over many weeks to 3-4% bodyfat on stage. Immediately after the contest, he goes out and eats everything in sight (literally!), and over about a 3 week period he gains an incredible amount of weight with very little fat gain.

Something to consider for the next 8 weeks. I know there's travel and holidays in there, and you don't want to not have fun or deprive yourself. That's OK. You're not really going to do a contest so it's not that big of a deal. A few cheat days wouldn't hurt. :)
 
Thanks for your support everyone! I had a kick ass workout today and started a 4 day split.

Chest/Biceps - Friday
Legs/abs - Saturday
Shoulders/Triceps - Monday
Back/Rear delts - Tuesday

And been monitoring my nutrition based on SBT's recommendations to the best of my ability. Of course that will be thrown off as we discussed....

I love your idea CEO and appreciate all the knowledge you have to offer. I am that much more excited for January 8th! I want to post my progress everyday for 3 months straight and be an animal. So I feel it's best we start at that point. I will follow any recommendations though you give me till that point and will follow your advice CEO from previous post till the day we get going.. Thanks again for all your support coaches! Your appreciated!
 
O.k coaches!! I'm back from traveling and ready to kick some ass. I am starting my cycle next week so wouldn't mind getting my workout ready. CEO, I am ready to follow your lead and be the best I can be. I've been hitting the weights 4 times a week hard for the last several months. Think I was overtraining. Anyway, I bought the "gymbuddy" iPhone app which is a great logging tool so I'll track everything you tell me to do.

Looking forward to kicking butt. Thanks in advance for your guidance and support!
