I have recently started a new workout a week ago that I got from Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding. I’ve had a history of working out but have always slacked over the years on my legs. This has hindered my growth. I had a cardio plan in place that I was stacking with this workout although Leg days set me back 3-4 days of soreness. Saying my legs are weak is an understatement. I am currently taking GNC Recovery Protein, with a strict diet of healthy carbs, consuming about 2500 calories a day.
I’ve also began taking Noxipro as a pre-workout suppliment that increased my lifts. Before I began this workout I had taken a few months off due to a Ligament tear in my left ankle. Over the past week I’ve already began increasing weight on the workout. I had to start roughly light to gauge where my strength was. If anyone has any advice on a good protein and mass builder that has shown progress please share. This is the workout log for the past week, any thoughts and advice towards my workout is greatly appreciated. This picture was taken today after my leg workout. Hopefully will see some significant gains with this workout.
