    Satur8 Satur 8 was my first volumizing supplement. I loved it. I had tons of energy for my workouts compared to a workout where I didnt have Satur 8 in my system. The pumps I would get were amazing. Almost to the point where I couldnt put my work shirt on correctly because my arms were so pumped.

    The flavor, Grape Smash, was very good. Not as super sweet like NO Xplode. I had not problem with sipping on this before a workout. When I first started using Satur 8 I had a case of the jitters. It would last through my workout, and a little when I got home. I didnt crash as hard as I did on NO Xplode which is a good thing.

    Mixability was ok. I would always have a little left in my shaker. No biggie. Just add some more water to the shaker and down the rest.

    Value is big for most people and this stuff is pretty cheap. I normally buy my supplements from the stores on Bigcrumbs.com and get a littl rebate back then use the rebates after a while to purchase something else that I need. here is a link if interested. www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=doquendo&s=6059

    I think the ISS Satur 8 has gotten lost in the shuffle of the other similar more popular products out there. It is cheap enough to give it a try to see how it works for you. I loved it.

    100% Whey Protein Gold Standard ON Whey protien is one of the top protien powders out on the market today. I have used and am currently using the Double Rich Chocolate. If you like chocolate flavors shakes, then this product is the one for you to use. If you mix it in a bleder with water, it tastes ok to good. Its almost like a watered gdown chocolate shake. If you mix it witha blender with milk, then it tastes exactly like chocolate milk, or a chocolate shake depending on the thickness of the mixture. I bring up using a blender because I found that it is pretty clumpy if you use a spoon to mix. You can also add in your favorite fruit or some peanut butter for additional protien.

    ON Whey protien is pretty cheap depending on where you go. I usually go to Bigcrumbs.com and look to see what type of rebate I can get when I purchase my supplements. Here is a link for Big Crumbs www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=doquendo&s=6059. I never buy at a physical store unless I need it right away.

    For those of us that are Lactose Intollerant at any level, I havent had any issues with taking this powder in milk or water. Not even a sign of gassiness or softer stools. Try it at first, and if your stomach doesnt feel right, go buy some lactaid chewable tablets before you down your protien shake.

    I think ON Protien stacked with a creatine supplement will help with your of adding mass as well as just giving you some extra protien in your diet. I highly recommend ON Whey Protien for anyone who is looking for a great protien powder with excellent taste and a great value for the product.

    Arson I have been taking MAP's Arson for 3 weeks now. I have never taken a fat burner before so I dont have anything else to compare it to. Arson comes in pill form. They are decent sized, but more like large liquid gell caspules that they go down easy. They do have a unique odor, but not to the point that you wont beable to take them. I take 6 a day. 3 when I get to work, and 3 when I leave work or before I go tothe gym in the after noon. When I take my morning dose, I feel much. No Jitters or cramping. The same goes for my evening dose on a non-workout day. I feel the effect the most when I take 3 pills before a workout session. When I get to the gym, I feel more energy that I did before I had taken them that day. I sweat a lot more during my workout than I did before taking Arson. The first time I had taken these I was doing a leg and shoulder workout. I had serious cramping in my calfs and feet after my workout, and during my workout the next day. I drank a ton of water, but not enough I guess. So be sure to stretch and drink tons of water while supplementing with Arson.

    Now as far as the weight loss is concerned, I don't know if I can attribute that to taking Arson. I became a lot strciter with my diet, and have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Im sure Arson had something to do with it, but 100%.

    I think with this product it may affect other people differently. Others have talked about the burn they feel inside when they down a few pills. I have never felt that (except for the increased sweat). But the energy I get from it is almost on par with what I used to get with NO-Xplode.

    The price isnt bad, but Im not sure Im getting what I paid for with this product. Maybe I could have lost a few pounds quicker that I would have if I was not supplementing with Arson. Im just not sure.

    Anabolic O.D. I have been using Anabolic OD for 3 weeks now. To be honest, I wasn't sure about all the hype that comes with the advertising, but obviously it worked because I know a lot of people that have tried their products. This is also my first post workout supplement, so I cant compare it to any other post w/o supps. I thinkit comes in one flavor, but it is excellent. one scoop or two doesn't matter. It tastes more like an alcoholic beverage than a supplement mix which are either super sweet or bitter. I don't drink anymore but it reminds me of Boones Farm for some reason. The first time I used this product it mixed well. I'd say nearly 95% of the powder was dissolved. All the times after that, there was always some powder or clumps at the bottom of the cup. No big deal though. I would just get a spoon to get the rest out. Its not like its was a lot, but when you are paying money for soemthing,then you want to get as much as you can.

    I wasnt sure what I was supposed to be feeling after I had taken AOD,but I will tel you that I have NOT felt or suffered from the following - nausea, stomach cramping, diarhea, skin outbreaks, jitters, increased or decreased appetite, or dizzyness. After my second week, I did start to feel my arms and chest getting tighter. Especially my triceps. Disclaimer...As with all supplements there is that mental side of things that says if a product says you are going to get bigger and stronger, then you really think you will. Well that is true because once I felt the tightness of my chest and arms, I wanted to go harder and heavier. Which I did. I have increased all my upper body workouts just because I think I can do more each week, and I want to get the best workout in before I drink my AOD.

    I dont feel as sore the next day or two like I usually do when I'm not taking anything. I measure this based onthe way my triceps feel after a good workout. I havent had the "I don't want to workout for another week cuz Im too sore" soreness since I've been on AOD.

    The last thing is value. Im not too sure about this. Value is based on the size of your wallet IMO. So for me I bought this over the internet and used my big crumbs account to get a rebate. Link to Big Crumbs for rebates Do your own research as far as price is concerned though. I just like adding a little cash to my paypal account evertime I buy something. I do belive that since AOD is working, that it is worth the money. YOu just have to find a place that is cheap enough for you.

    Overall this is a good product. Taste is big for me as wel as results. I feel like I got both there.

    Disclaimer...I am also taking MAP Arson and ON Whey Protien Double Rich Chocolate.
