The following is my personal supplement and health care regime.
Details: as of April 12th, 2008
I'm Male, 36 years old, 5'11" and weight 160lbs (~8-10% body fat).
Average BP: 105/65 HR: 45-50 bpm
Notes on my supplement intake and ordering:
-I cycle all of my supplements. I take them 5 days on 2 days off. Then I have a 7 days break every 3 months.
-I now buy in bulk (6 month supply) and store all my supplements in fridge (except protein). This keeps the cost down and increases discount % at iHerb. If I order a 6 month supply I will save US$120 on top of their already heavily discounted products. The shipping for a 2 month supply (US$50 to Australia) is the same as a 6 month supply hence, I save another US$100. Therefore I save US$220 (~AU$250) by ordering every 6 months saving me just over $40/month
Total cost per month ~AU$225 (includes delivery)

3. I have also been doing a little rowing at the gym. I row about 4-5km per week
Strength:
1. I am trying to put on a little bulk so I'm using DC training. I'm training 4 days a week DC training plus doing core stability work as well as rotator cuff strengthen and Scapula stabilisation.
Flexibility:
work in progress...
