Never seen his pic or CC’s.
I don’t mean to be rude but, it’s pretty easy to ‘seem’ like you are knowledgeable If you read enough material. After being on this site for a while I tend to take a lot of what people say with a heap of salt unless I see their pic.

If the information is correct, why would it matter? If the information is good and could have been given by others with pics, would it matter?
The only reason I say this, is because as noted above he gives good advice.

And the fact is, Tribunaldude and CC are the only two guys on this forum who have bothered to talk to me about training personally. I respect them and their oppinions very much.

If a person is in a position to make really good gains without any extraordinary and costly nutritional supplementation, as someone in high school usually is, then such supplementation really isn’t needed.
Products such as Anaconda are designed and intended for the situation where ordinary means are no longer sufficient for rapid gains.

I’m aware of that. However my curious nature is coming out when I hear something like this. These guys who are MUCH more advanced then me, and SHOULD be gaining more slowly then me, have gained FASTER then me. And I just put on 50 pounds to by backsquat and 30 or possibly more to my deadlift in 10 weeks. I consider those pretty good gains. I’m curious to try it, but 80$ is steep unless I can get some confirmation on how well the product works.

I said that referring to what zephead wrote, ‘deffinately will not be making the purchase unless some trusted forumites give it the same kind of review’.
So for their opinion on their product to be worth a damn, they would actually have to be a big guy who has been training hard for years.

They do have a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee, but be forewarned, they stick to the 90 day rule.
I bought 2 bottles of something (Xmas present actually), but didn’t use it for probably 4 months. Couldn’t return it 
Didn’t Thib write an article (I believe called “The truth about bulking”) where he stated that monthly limit for mass gain was like 4 pounds, yet here he is gaining 27 in 2 months…
Having to spend another $90 on another supplements, per what will likely be a small amount, is why this will not be a mainstream program. With or without other supplements that is a lot of money.
Maybe it will do good for those with the spare cash, maybe it’s just there to sell the new product. Would be intresting to hear the science behinnd Anaconda.
Still can’t wait to have a look though.
The lesson of the “Physique Clinic” was this: A dramatic physique change occurs in a 16 week timeframe only when fat loss is involved. In other words, it’s easy to lose a lot of fat in 16 weeks; very hard to gain much muslce in 16 weeks.
They should prove this wrong with a Physique Clinic II. Use real T-Nation forum members. Track progress.

I will gladly spend 80$ if it will spike insulin that efficiently. You wouldn’t spend that for 20 lbs of muscle in 6 weeks?

apparently not with a small countries GDP in supplementation…
Will certainly be exciting to see if it can be proved with real pics etc and in real life environments,
If I can gain 27 pounds in 6 weeks, i’m a buyer, not totally convinced at this point though i’m afraid.
I’m pretty sure the claims are 20 lbs in 15 weeks.

i applied to the Physique Clinic 2, never heard back. if they were willing to send me all those supplements, id pay for 2 gyms just to make sure i had the equipment to do what was prescribed.
i don’t think i’ll be trying this out program out though. seems very very gimmicky.

Well unless i’m blind and deaf you might want to look at the video again around 42 seconds in to see the claims.

The claims are different again in Thibs thread, another reason i’m not 100% convinced just yet i’m afraid.
Maybe you get to choose your gains and time frames depending on how much you pay?

the whole supplement protocal is going to cost a hell of a lot more then 80 bucks i beleive the supps needed are as follows:
Alpha-GPC
Anaconda
Surge Workout Fuel
FINiBARs (lots of em)
Surge Recovery
Grow! Whey(could probably use whatever protien you have as long as is similar to Grow! Whey)
15 weeks worth of all that is quite a price, however those who wants gains like the ones they decribed in the thread will buy it, if im not too much of a beginner to utilizate the program im going to do the best i can to somehow afford all this.

Well I was going to get into this I, BODYBUILDER but all that would cost way to much in the chance that it didn’t work.
