Controlling the Chaos

Mike Shaw · 01-03-2008, 12:54 AM

It's ON!!!! 08 has arrived an goals are in mind....

I have posted previously with accurate description's of food intakes and the problems encountered with being stuck in limbo - minimal mass gain, minimal strength gain's and general disillusioned sense of self.

For those interested
http://performancemenu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1663

Now im taking the time to accurately record and publicly post intake and output in the hope that someone (or myself) will see any holes in my training and help me achieve what is currently out of reach.....

Hopefully this will also help any other's in my situation..... Please post questions or thoughts as I value all forms of feedback..... Cheers
