I recently read an article that said some companies use small traces of steroids in their protein supplements. Is this true?

In the past 6 weeks i have gained 15lbs and have improved in all my lifts. I am just about out of the p1,p2,and p3 plasmavol and plan on getting more in the future. The only thing I worry about is out of the 15lbs I gained, I don't know how much of that is water. Anyone who is looking for...

I'm wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if this online store is ever going to be back up again?

Because I have only been in this sport a few years, I have not entered a powerlifting competition but do plan to in the near future.

5ft 8". Yeah i'm short:)

right, thanks jcp2

then i'm not really doing a box squat since I just touch and go. The way I'm doing is just a regular squat then right?

is it ok to do box squats instead of regular squats? The box I use is 10" and that is about how far I usally go down for regular squats. I like to use the box just as a reference so I don't cheat myself when I get into my last couple reps.

I have used the original plasmavol and it worked great. So last friday i ordered the updated plasmavol p1,p2, and p3 but didnt get it yet. how is it working for you so far?

mofo king, are you using p1,p2,and p3 plasmavol or just the p3?
