The only time was when I was basic training for the Army and that's obviously a different kind of working out. You eat three meals a day and that's it. I think I went from about 117 to 126 pounds and stayed lean. I had a really hard time getting past that 126 lb mark when I got back, though.

I don't think supplements are magic at all, but I have to use them to get the necessary calories and protein in to keep putting on muscle.

Have you ever worked out for any period of time while not on supps? They obviously help, I just can't say whether any one particular supp taken in the past helped. FWIW, I have never taken supps, aside from the myoplex which I really used as a meal replacement. Gaining is no problem for me, cutting is the problem.

Well I'm pretty sure my protein shit helps. I have no hard proof, but when I work out and am on a full nutritional and supplemental regimen I get bigger and stronger.

Did it help?

I don't know, how would I know? In another dimension, I may have gained slightly less mass or lost slightly less fat... but I don't have access to that version of me right now (working on it).

When I was in high school my friend and I read Muscle Media magazine religiously and were totally sold out to Bill Phillips. We thought that EAS products were the best in the world and damn near essential to progress.

Now we know that Bill Phillips sucks.

I used to drink the shit out of some Myoplex. Is that bad?

[MMA_scientist]

That sounds crazy. I have a hard time believing it.

That's what he says. He said he got tested, he was low, and the cost to bring him to his baseline level is $20. Maybe his insurance pays for part of it, we didn't get into that. He could get more with more expense. I will say, it does work.

No man, go old school and rock it Bill Phillips style.

LMAO!

I remember I bought a tub of some shit called "almost illegal" when I was like 17.

Just take creatine, bro.

And of course, Cell Tech. Amirite?

I'm used to being sore but this was a little more extreme than usual. It's all good, though. It lets me know I really did something.

[Svino]

Speaking of such things, I went to the gym for the first time in about 5 months the other day, and godDAMN I'm sore!

I'm like, holy shit, did I fuck something up?

That's always happened to me if I do a hard workout after a long stretch of slacking.
