Okay, so most people who know you probably already consider you a freak. Be honest though... It's probably not because of your physique. Don't fret. We can help even up the your image from idiosyncratic freak to physique freak with a primer on vascularity. And we're not just talking a few veins here or there that pop out during stressful workouts. We're talkin' walkin' around with a AAA map popping out from beneath your skin. Insane vascularity can be yours if you follow our suggestions. For most people who lift, the thought of getting skin-tearing type pumps and road-map vacularity is appealing. But to get them usually means bloating, cramping, weight gain and overall look that screams "NOT DIALED IN"! Why are pumps so important?

Q: I'm going to start taking CEE and a lipolytic fat burner product. Any problems associated with taking CEE and a fat burner together? Do they work against one another? A: Well, it's a great question because a lot of people combine supplements thinking that there can be no interaction because it is "over the counter", so therefore, safe.

Q: I take creatine monohydrate, post workout, with my whey protein. If I was to add the water and mix before I started in the gym and then consume it 1 to 1.5 hours later will the creatine still be active?

You should try the new CEE caps if you are looking for less bulk, or just mix your protein powder and ...

Q: I've been going without supplements for almost 4 months now. I guess I just wanted to see if they made a real difference, and if I was just wasting my money. I'm surprised at how happy I am without them. But recently, a friend told me about XCEED, which is a new supplement that is supposed to increase muscle mass. So, I ordered a couple of tubs of it to try. Any word on how this supplement works? A: We've actually heard some good things, and here's why: Number one, this product, by Designer Supplements actually tastes great and that's half the battle to getting people to take them on a regular basis. Results can be great with any product, but if it tastes repugnant it's not going to ever see the result phase! XCEED mixes well too, so it's ...
