I’m 35 so I guess that gets me in the door. I am currently taking the following.
Flameout
BETA-7
BCAA’s
Greens Plus
Creatine from Biotest
Spike or HOT-ROX Extreme not really “cutting” but like the boost these give me for mornings and workouts.
REZ-V
Metabolic Drive both Complete and Low-Carb
Surge
I carry a supplement bag with me to work so I have my supps ready to take at intervals throughout the day.

I’d like to hear about your thoughts on the BCAA’s.
HOT-ROX makes me angry. Or as someone else put it, intensifies my already asshole nature. lol.
Now this may be a stupid question, but why the creatine AND the Beta - 7. No I havent’ read the whole Beta thread. (sorry.)
Also where do you get your greens +? How much? what do you think?[/quote]
I have been using the BCAA’s since they arrived here in the Biotest store and I will continue to use them. I am not one who gets all scientific writing down minute details of my body comp or workouts.
I will read up on something and if the info sounds good to me I will use it and judge from my gains. I remember reading good things about aminos since I started lifting in the mid nineties and have always wanted to try them, but didn’t really find them at the sup stores I went to. Now as you can see I pretty much exclusively shop at T-Nation and now that they are offered it was a no brainer.
Getting back to not tracking data, but rather just going by my strength, my muscle mass, and getting leaner, that’s what I make a judgement from. I have continued to increase my lifts you can check out my blog to see the progress there. I look like I lift at 220 with about 14 percent bodyfat and slowly continue to drop fat while getting bigger in muscle mass and density.
I feel the BCAA’s used pre, during, and post, workout as well as through the day and first thing in the morning and last thing when going to bed have contributed to these gains I am making.
On BETA-7 and Creatine my reading is that they give a synergistic effect, they compliment each other. I will get back to you in a month on this combo.
I currently get my Greens Plus at a Vitamin Shoppe, but when Biotest makes em I will buy them here. I have been adding one table spoon in my morning shake everyday for the past nine or so months and I also believe in the literature on them and how they help maintain PH balance which is important for us lifters.
