Powerthirst I/II
I do a lot of bodybuilding supplement reviews. And I gotta admit, at times, all the over-the-top descriptions of “shirt-ripping pumps,” “skyrocketing increases in testosterone” and “explosive muscle growth,” can get a little old. Which is why this stuff cracks me up…they’re parodies, of course, but uncomfortably close to some ads I’ve seen....
Not-So-Great Expectations…
When I do a body comp assessment, I use calipers and the 7-site calculator over at exrx.net. It’s a handy little tool, and saves a lot of number crunching. Did one on John this morning, as a part of the IsaTest test.

Chlorophyllin is a compound that has been shown to decrease levels of...

Why nanotechnology? I have good ol’ Muscletech to thank for...
Take a Pill…
Paul sent me an e-mail yesterday that was both extremely funny…and sad. Apparently he has a cyberstalker whose most recent stunt involved posting a wiki “review” slamming ultimatefatburner.com – he sent me the link in his message. The review was a two-parter: the initial attack – which apparently was posted about a year ago – was on Paul alone. The author couldn’t let it end there,...
