Top 5 Scivation Supplements (and why):

• Xtend, love it!!  Keeps me going through my workouts and helps me recover.  I also sip on it between meals while dieting to retain muscle mass and at night to avoid cravings. 
• Vasocharge.  This preworkout formula has the best combination of ingredients and keeps me going hard through my workouts, plus my body doesn’t seem to build a tolerance to it. 
• Scivation whey.  Whey protein keeps me anabolic throughout the day and this stuff is tasty!!  Mixes well and is great with oatmeal (which is a staple for me). 
• Dialene 4x.  This fat loss agent is a great balanced formula, not just a pill that gets you jacked up.  Providing steady stream of energy but more importantly, helps me dial it in! 
• Seasamin.  A high quality EFA, this is a perfect addition to a balanced diet, plus no fishy burps!  Honorable mention: Solution 5, can’t wait, this one looks to be a favorite just based on the reviews and nutrition profile alone!!

Current Goals:  To compete at the 2010 NASA Powerlifting Nationals in Oklahoma and break all 3 open records at 148 and become national champ.  To compete at the 2010 IFPA Mr. Universe and crack the top 5 at my first professional bodybuilding contest.  Continue to put more mass on and increase strength, competing 5lbs heavier at my first pro outing and deadlifting 550lbs at my next contest.
Future Competitive Plans:  Compete in both of the above competitions then evaluate and set eyes on future pro competitions.
Favorite Motivational Quote:  Set a goal, make a plan, execute!
