So it's a year to the day since I stopped taking drugs....errrr supplements...
I did it to see what effect they were having on me both in training and in my day to day life.
Lifts then:
Squat 150x5
Bench 110x4
Dead 215
BW: 86-89
Lifts now:
Squat 210x2
Bench 140
Dead 250x2
BW: 90-93
So I've made big gains without the use of supplements, I've also gained 4kgs in body weight.
As for my general day to day life I've felt more energetic especially in the morning, this was very noticeable at the start of this little experiment.
Health has been on and off, I've had a few more colds and a bad flu since then. I've also picked up more injuries this year than ever before.
So what's next?
The plan is to supplement again.
3 main reasons for this;
1) Meat is expensive, I've been eating meat and drinking a lot of milk to make up for the lack of whey.
2) To see how health/injury rate is affected, I've missed too much training this year, enough is enough!
3) To see how much gainz I make in the next year
This isn't a very strict study, there are too many variables to calculate but I'm doing it for the fun of it and to get more attuned to my body.
