I have always believed that in order to get in shape you need some kind of motivation, something to look forward to and some way to be held accountable for your workout routine. Otherwise, you will most likely get lazy and not push yourself in order to see the results you want. Knowing that I was going to be standing outside of the local Hollister on black Friday in a swim suite gave me that motivation.
I am not going to talk about how I became affiliated with Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch, they are the same company, in any way mainly because I am uneducated in the legalities of saying anything about it. But I do want to be open about the workout routine that I made for myself to prepare for it.
I have paid my dues at the gym am pretty comfortable in my own skin. But finding out that thousands of people are going to see your shirtless body is a frightening thing, for someone that has never done this before.
As an avid gym goer I will mention that it is much easier to get results with some supplemental help:) So I will just list some things I was taking:
- Animal Pak Multivitamins or BSN Nitrix (I wouldn’t take both together)
- Whey Protein
- USP Labs Jack3d pre-workout
- Kre-Alkalyn Creatine in pill form
- 1 1/2 hours a day, 6 days a week at the gym
- and a little tanning, because your muscle always look more defined when your tan.
Workout Routine
My workout routine was anything but a routine but there were some things that I did every time I went to the gym.

This is by no means a detailed workout routine and there is no one routine that will give you what you want. The key is to have a motive and desire. The rest you will figure out. There are thousands or workout websites and opinions out there. Everyone is different and you must model your workout routine for yourself.

Hey bro. Your routine above is pretty solid however “muscle confusion” works miracles. I’m assuming that you don’t mix up this routine but that’s personal preference. I’ve been avid in the gym for a few years now. Half your bench press strength comes straight from your Triceps. Try working your chest and triceps on different days. Personally I went from 55 pound max to doing 85 pound (have not maxed out yet) one handed in a month. Then again as you said supplements help! Do what works best for you! Best of luck!
Thanks for the input. There are a lot of people reading this article so I have to go through and put in more detail on the workout routine. Any feedback from all you other gym rats would be great!
Also doing some sort of ice bath or just cold water treatment takes the lactic acid out of your muscles giving you a more effective recovery. Foam rolling before and after will also repair any muscles strands broken incorrectly and the pressure from the roll will re-calibrate your muscles also making for an easier recovery.
