I just love the "after" Olympia expo workouts as I get to test/try the many samples that I acquired. Through the years I know that some work and some suck -- but so far I've tried three and love them!! 
Here is the first - I actually tried this one yesterday. I don't like protein bars at all - just something about them -- however, this one is a pumpkin flavor (and I LOVE pumpkin) and so gave it a try and instantly loved it -- it was just really good and actually tasted like a pumpkin bar -- so looks like I have a winner here.
This one (on the right) I actually tried last year, so I knew what to expect - but since I hadn't used it since last year ('cause I really can't afford a monthly supply) I had forgotten how good it really is. I did this pre-workout this morning and waited about 40 minutes before hitting the workout. I felt energized and good throughout the workout and didn't lose any stamina. I did my Legs supplemental and had my squats and calf routine. I hit the squats pretty hard with 230x10, 250x8, 275x6, 300x4 and then decided to hit a record - so I put 340 on and went for 2 reps and got 3 reps!! so new record and boy was I excited. Calves were 230x20, 240x17, 250x15, 260x12 and 270x10 - record is 290x10, closing in on that one too! I always focus on form during these exercises and go slow enough to hit the targeted muscles just right - so I could probably go heavier, but at the expense of form - which I won't do - you can have proper form and heavy weight at the same time - just takes time to get your body up there - and I'm getting there.

This was the first time I tried this (on left) post-workout sample. It actually won the most popular supplement of the year last night at the Olympia and I can see why -- it worked really great and I was feeling it instantly replenishing everything I'd just lost in my workout. I really like this one and will have to see about getting some of this for future workouts - luckily I still have a few more samples of it.So, Dexter Jackson won the Mr Olympia last night!! I
wanted Dennis Wolfe to win, he got 4th place - but I was glad that Jay Cutler didn't - he was the reigning 2 time champ, but to me just wasn't that great - anyway, I'm glad that the judges finally got the award to the best bodybuilder and didn't just award it because of politics! Maybe there is hope for the IFBB after all -- nah!!Pump Hard friends & family - you all rock!!
