11 Workout Effects You Need

[Tim_Patterson]

Take a person willing to train themselves into the ground to get results. Teach them everything science knows about performance physiology. Now, give them an unlimited budget and allow them to build a workout drink.

What effects would they want? What ingredients would deliver those effects? Chances are, the final product would look exactly like this.

I am one of those rare cases where citrulline malate was eventually traced to causing me to have acute attacks of pancreatitis so I make do without it.

How do people feel about Cardarine in small doeses and like 10 week cycles? I’ve seen all the studies and all the “other side of the story” arguments.
