Old Navy's Quest to be Bigger, Badder & Better

Old Navy -

I have been seriously impressed with your training since you started logging on this site. Just amazing work.

I have a question about the amino acid and protein complex you list. How does that fit into your training? Do you use that during training? Throughout the day? etc.

Thanks much!

AAEFX generously sponsors me as a natural master pro bodybuilder. As such, the company sends me a good supply of AAEFX supplements each month. I am not required to endorse their line or even list their products in my posts. This is something I choose to do. AAEFX is also a sponsor (for the second year) of the show I promote, the annual NGA Alabama Natural Open Bodybuilding, Figure, Male Physique and Bikini Model Championships held in Birmingham, Alabama each July (14th this year).

I take Kre-Alkalyn EFX Pro before my workout each morning. It is a great creatine boost. I also take Nyric EFX Pro before my workout to help with vascularity and muscle pump during my workout. Right after my workout, along with their Protein Powder, I take liquid Cell Rush for growth and recovery. At the same time, I take a measure of liquid LBA Pro (Amino Acid-Protein) for growth and recovery and LG5 Pro liguid glutamine. Later in the day I have another NF-Pro shake. I also take Hot Stuff’s Gland All raw gland complex as my multi-vitamin and minerals, green tea tabs for fat burning, antioxidants and, because of my age, Himalava Liver Care complex.

The Promoters of the 2012 IFPA Pro Galaxy Elite and NANBF Amateur Capital Classic Bodybuilding, Figure and Bikini Championships in Montgomery, Alabama on Saturday, May 26 wanted to make sure the audience knew who the Master of Ceremonies was wearing the tux. Still having a blast in our sport at the age of 69. I’ll compete again when I turn 70, just for the fun of it.
