Gear your diet to fit your needs, greens and meats, with out to much of them being red.
As far as Tri-athealons I did Antrim, Alum creek, and Delaware state parks. Alum was the most enjoyable, and had a lot of hot chics.
Do you realize your body use utilizes natural proteins 5x better then drinks and bars. And your body can olny absorb so much protein. You are wasteing your money on protein shakes if you buy them. ( IMO ) I talk to mr ohio everyday in my gym, and he dosent take that shit, in fact he olny takes a few supplements, mainly vitamins and minerals.
And the olny supplements i take are a multi-vitamin, vitamin c, vitamen e, and a very good diet.
As for the people at worlds ( which is where i work out ) of course they want you to take supplements, it puts money in there pocket, and a false sense of security. Hard work and a strict diet, is the key. And GNC has more good stuff then you think...
You guys sound like the ones who cant work hard enough to reach your goals, and are the ones, who once they reach their natural hereditary ends, you cheats to further them, and olny hurt yourselves in the process. graemlins/thumbsdown.gif
