What supplements (mass/muscle)work 4 you

It's Anabolic Activator III by Optimum Nutrition. I like the chocolate or banana flavor. It's a good value for what you get in it. -------------- Randy *Excuses are the skin of a reason stuffed with a lie.*

Oh ya, and a little warning to go with all the adds and marketing....Notice that most of them have a disclaimer that reads the following: THE RESULTS SHOWN ARE NOT TYPICAL! lol -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back!

I could add nothing to his post. Follow it exactly as he stated, and you will gain. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
