need advice for first contest
Ok, so here is the deal, a friend of mine has convinced me to try a bench/deadlift contest with him that is coming up in mid-August. I have been training hard and working to get my bench press and deadlift up (my main goal is a 600# deadlift in the 220 weight class), but the problem is that over them summer I have been working as a landscaper which is just draining me. A lot of the time I wake up and my body feels drained and by the time I get to the gym after work I am dragging ass. Luckily my lifts have still been improving, but it has been a struggle. Plus, I still need to cut 8 pounds, but I don't see that as being too much of a problem due to the fact that I have been eating 400-500 calories over what my maintenance should be and I have still been dropping about 1-2 pounds per week.
What I am wondering is: can anybody give me some advice on some supplements (preferably cheap) that can help me with either my recovery or my energy when I go to the gym?
At the moment I am currently taking:
fish oil (6 per day)
whey protein (pre and post workout)
creatine post workout
multivitamin
thanks for any advice that you guys can give me
Rob
