Any good supplements you recommend for this? I know creatine is a favorite. I think BB1 recommends something like greendragon (I'm probably completely off, as i don't exactly remember the brand). regardless, anything short of steroids you would recommend. By the way, this is such a helpful sight. Definitely doing great work guys, keep it up!!!!!

I like the Animal m-stak, but it may have been more psychological than anything - I would take it and feel insanely aggressive in the weight room, so i probably grew because I was lifting so hard more than anything. -------------- I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. -Henry David Thoreau

	2006/10/10, 06:24 PM Maybe I misread one of his other posts. "I like bench of all kinds. I like bicep curls. I HATE squats. I hate all leg exercise, actually (deadlifts, lunges etc.). I can completely work out my upper body, no prob. But lower body I hate. Seriously. No, I'm serious. Hate! Seriously!" I guess I figured that if he hated legs so much they were being neglegted. How long do you normally stick with something that you hate so much? -------------- Life is a lesson. You will learn it when you are gone.

You can hate something and still do it, like hmmm. Okay, I guess there isn't a body part I hate working. I love back day, I love chest day, I love leg day (until the next day) I like arms and shoulders...abs are okay, sometimes fun..darnit. I don't hate any exercises.... -------------- I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. -Henry David Thoreau
