I have done many cycles in the past, with alot of help from the Vets here on the board, (some of which arent with us any more). And if there is one thing that they have taught me, it is to listen to what your body is telling you, and not what other people tell you is correct for you.

Anyway, to the point: I have tried MANY protein powders and suppliments but none of them have even come close to the growth effect I get from 25 oz of lean beef steak EOD, I feel fuller and alot larger after meat (Only meat though - no carbs), I have never felt anything from any protein powder suppliment no matter how much i take, only stomach ache!, and bloatyness.
The weight just piles on when I am bulking, and if anything i seem to get more cut too.

Try it and see what you think. (the only downside is it is quite expensive)
