Athletic Greens Review

Posted on May 21, 2013. 2 comments

Athletic Greens

Most greens powders straight up suck. I’ve tried a number of them over the years and while they typically each possess some good qualities, I’m yet to encounter one that doesn’t have something that’s wrong with it. I recently tried out the highly touted Athletic Greens and it is the first greens supplement I’ve tried that tastes pretty good and has a great nutritional profile. Read on to learn more!

Product Review: Promax LS Bars

Posted on Feb 19, 2013. 0 comments

These bars are tasty, plain and simple. I’ve only tried the Chocolate Fudge and Mocha Latte flavors but they were both exquisite. They were not chalky like a ton of other bars out there. The density was perfect, a chocolate coating on a soft chewy center. With only 220 calories, the Promax LS Bars are a little smaller than the Pro Series Bars, but are great bars for a quick protein fix or snack on the run. With their killer low-calorie, low-sugar ingredient profile, choosing these bars is a no-brainer.

Product Review: Dilate by ANS Performance

Posted on Feb 18, 2013. 0 comments


When I step foot in the gym for a hypertrophy workout I am searching for one thing, the pump. The pump is the sensation that causes your muscles to “swell up” with blood, thereby making them feel more powerful and voluminous. Your veins start popping, the weights start flying, and your muscles feel like a grenade that has just had it’s pin pulled. I recently tested out DILATE by ANS Performance, a nitric oxide enhancer, AKA a “Pump” enhancer.

Product Review: GO by EXT Sports

Posted on Dec 16, 2012. 1 comment

When I first sampled EXT Sports’ new pre-workout, the first thing that stood out to me was the name. GO is a fantastic name for a pre-workout. It's easy, it's to the point, it tells me what it’s going to make me do. Therefore, this review will be filled with puns involving the name of this outstanding pre-workout formula. The GO Matrix has everything a meathead could want in a pre-workout: creatine monohydrate, taurine, citrulline, beta-alanine and even contains special herbal extracts and the amino acid glutamine.

Product Review: Muscle Nitro PM by Champion Nutrition

Posted on Dec 03, 2012. 1 comment

As a serious napper/sleeper extraordinaire, I have the uncanny ability to sleep anywhere and everywhere. I have been known to enter REM cycles in and on airplanes, buses, cabs, dentist chairs, movie theaters, poker tables, subways, horseback, clown cars, and football stadiums among other locations. Like a young child, if I indulge in a large meal on a warm day, within 15 minutes I will be out cold. Sometimes it can be an inconvenience, but I enjoy sleeping and the feeling of being well rested. Therefore, it is natural that I love Muscle Nitro PM
