I've been around the block with many a supplement and I'm no stranger to various pre-workout subtypes.
Both NO Xplode versions, HyperFX
All Dymatize Xpand versions
All Gaspari SuperPump versions, and Superdrive
MusclePharm Assault and Hybrid NO
Cellucor C4
All MuscleMeds pre-workouts...
I place a lot of blame on Gatorade for this issue (I despise them, so there's some bias here). Their move to put whey in a few of their products put notice out that there is a much higher demand than ever before. Whey is now the oil of this industry, relatively speaking. It's something that's...
I love Hemavol and I'm always in search of a great pump. I haven't been blessed with the pleasure of logging a product yet so this would be the perfect product to cut me teeth on. I've been around the block with this industry's products and know how to give detailed feedback.... that's my...

This is interesting. I do notice a common factor between people that have OC tendencies as well as eating issues. I have OC tendencies as well and I tend to struggle with keeping my diet on point... And I KNOW how i need to eat. It takes more than just willpower and others won't understand that...
I can vouch for MusclePharm Bulletproof and Animal PM myself... Also I do things like trigger point/fascial release therapy to help get better blood flow and ultimately better sleep. Also I take cold showers post workout for blood flow as well. There's a tension or a stress that can sometimes...
I'm not huge on BSN as I am with some others, but I won a container of HyperFX and I take it on occasion when I need a mad kick... The capsaicin in it destroys the taste and my stomach in a fasted state... But damn if it don't jack me up for the rest of the day.
I think the individual, their types of workouts, and the other supplements used answers that question better than an outright yes or no. As a guy who plays hours of basketball as my cardio, I will lose what lean muscle I do have if I don't stay hydrated and keep my blood amino content going...
Congratulations on becoming a rep...

I'm a proven gym rat by way of the weight room and the court. Over the years, my direct example of absolute work ethic and dedication is Kobe. It seems cliché to pick him... but his commitment to being at the top of his game and shape...
How long have you been using protein supplements? 13 years
Current fitness goals: Reach and maintain lean muscle mass and physique. Also to perform efficiently and effectively as a basketball player.
Training Style: Varies by time of year. Train according to basketball in-season and off-season...
Gearing his diet and training for football is a good route. But because all his activity is making him a hard gainer, I think part of his problem is that he might not be finished growing into his body yet. A man doesn't really stop gaining height until after high school. The problem I see isn't...
I'm 6'4 and I fully agree with rest of the big & tall on this thread. I go to parallel on squat but that's where it stops. Other lifts just require a modification in the relevant joint to prevent injury and keep the muscles at work.
I call for a study in 10-15 years time that will uncover how many ppl between ages 20-35 already have irregular heart issues and blood pressure as a result of ignorant caffeine usage... High schoolers are knocking back monsters and Starbucks multiple times a day like they even need caffeine...
