Hey Anthony, I work out a lot, high intensity. I have used the following:
*Superpump - can be rough on stomach
*NO3 - tastes like shit, works well
*NO Explode - ruins your stomach, very sweet
*Expand - will make you feel so sick it's not funny
*Jacked3D - no stomach issues, very good focus and pump (best I've tried)
*Creatine monhydrate - taste like ass, use juice to sweeten
*BCAA's
*All Natural Dymatize Protein powder (low carb) - yummy
*Muscle Milk - yummier
The BEST combination by far in my experience is the following (I put on 25 pounds in just over 2 months).
*Jacked3D for pre-workout
*BCAA caps immediately after workout (2 caps)
*1 teaspoon of Creatine monohydrate with some water/juice
*for protein if you want to add size, use muscle milk, to cut use Dymatize all natual (low carb)
You can buy all of this stuff for WAY cheaper than local retailers sell it for on www.bodybuilding.com
Hope this helps!
Edit to add: All of the products I have listed are sold in Canada and approved for sale in Canada, they do not contain andro and other stuff that is sold in the US (or used to be).
Arch - not at all, especially with the stuff I mentioned I was currently using. Cheap protein makes you stink.
Jone - I dont take any fat burners at all, ever, anything with Ephedrine or andro i stay the hell away from. I also don't find any drop off in strength. I went from benching 330-350 max to 250ish after I stopped working out for 8 months. (may look bad, but i dropped 30 pounds and could still push 250+, i guss its all relative)
Upandaway - good eating is implied for anyone serious enough to take supplements. #1 rule is diet. Suuplements help you get what you want faster/better/stronger
Bunny - more biking mang! eat better, you CANNOT eat ANY fast food if you expect to meet your goals, unless you have a freakish metabolism. I gain weight/mass like crazy, so I have to watch what I eat very, very carefully.
