I'm starting on some new supplements and figured I would ask around and see if any other Canadian pullers are taking anything for supplements. I work 10hr days at my job (Case/New Holland)where I lift heavy steel all day and am always hammering in bushing and moving around odd shaped pieces of steel all day long. I take in 7 full meals a day, taking in roughly 4,800 'good' calories. But without supplements my Arm Wrestling workouts pay the price with lack of strength, energy, endurance, and power. For the past two months I have been using Purple-K (Creatine) and my recovery is helped a lot with that. I have been using 5-star protein powder for quite a while now and it seems to be a good product for a good price. I also take Joint supplements for obvious reasons in this sport and I bounce between Liquid form and pill forms of Glucosamine. I just picked up a higher quality Joint supplement Called ALLFLEX by ALLMAX Nutrition. And for the first time I have purchased a Testosterone Booster (METHYL TEST by Nx Labs) to see how it may benefit my body and help it recover from the rigorous job I have and all the Gym stuff and Arm Wrestling practices I put it through. I'm hoping for the best here. I have never trained as hard for anything in my life as I have been training to improve my Arm Wrestling in the past couple months. Anybody else have any supplements they are using or have used that they would recommend.

I think that 5-star stuff is at Wal-Mart now. They have really beefed up the supplement aisle lately.

How much is that protein at wal-mart? does it come in 5lb containers or just 2lbs?
Since protein has gone up in price I stopped buying Optimum and Dymatize which were my favorites.
Now I use EAS Premium from Costco which is $39 for 6lbs... it's a mix though and has some soy in it, so thats not great. I mix it half and half..
And also Kaizen Isolate from Costco.. it's $44 for 4.4lbs but it has a higher protein density per scoop so you end up using less per serving overall.

I'm pretty sure it only comes in 2lb containers bro. There are two different kinds though and a few different flavors. There is the Professional strength WEIGH PROTEIN and the Professional strength MUSCLE BUILDING types. The Muscle Building type is a higher protein density type. Flavor is fairly good and it mixes very well even with water. Price is around $23.00 I believe for the Muscle building formula and a few dollars less for the Weight Protein formula.

There is a new product out that is made here in British Columbia called Youth Juice. I have tried many different products to try and help me out ... and I am sure many of you know the arm problem that I have been having for the last couple of years. From going from the top of the rankings to not even existing on them. My joints in my arm were bad with pain ... to the point that no matter how much I love to armwrestle ... I had to stop! I tried coming back last year ... but I could not work out with weights or pull that much ... due to bringing on more pain. I have never been a quitter but I finely even give up a match at the Canadians due to the pain. Anyways ... A friend of mine who is a fitness trainer and world bobsledding champion got me on this stuff ... I was doubting the product and thought I would be wasting my money. Unfortunately ... I love this sport ... and anything that will keep me in it ... I'm going to try! After taking this product ... my overall health improved, my energy went up and my pain went away. I started lifting weights again ... and to my surprise ... no pain! So I have been back training hard again ... and I feel great ... I have tested my arm on my guys that I train here ... and they were blown away ... night and day difference they said. All I can say is ... I'm back ... and I got something to prove ... I know I can still be a force on the table once again. I know this will help a lot of guys out there ... who are aging like myself ... and deal with arm pain. A person can check out the science behind this product at www.checkthescience.com Yes ... this is a MLM product ... but this is the most successful way of a new company to introduce it into a world market. Many of you are aware of Mona Vie ... well our own Canadian Government granted Youth Juice is going to take it out of the picture ... it does not compare to the phenomenal super food that has yet to be unveiled to the world. It features two ingredients that are significant in nutritional science, Ellagic acid and Fucodian. Filled with over 3 pounds of 7 whole organic berries and 3 sea vegetables, it delivers a vast array of phytonutrients which are essential for a vibrant healthy life. I am sharing this with you because of what it is doing for me ... not only for my overall health but as an opportunity ... the next 10 years is going to be a trillion dollar business in health products .... science is the answer to our health ... and with the baby boomer's aging ... more then ever ... ways to feel healthier and younger is what people are looking for. The company is ground level ... and I bet most of you have never even heard of it yet. I think its a great opportunity for a lot of armwrestler out there ... to become healthy, have fun, and build immediate and residual wealth. Check it out ... I am like you ... but I have seen the difference ... and those on the other side of my arm are going to see it as well .. haha! If your interested in this fantastic product ... check out the site above ... and also the site below ... if you need more info let me know ... I will gladly "Pay it forward" like someone helped me. www.ourworldnetwork.com/vernmartel

I do notice that within and hour of taking the Methyl TEST that I get this kind of Pumped up/ Reved up feeling. Kinda hard to explain. It seems to last quite strongly for a couple hours.

Mr. Wiggins ... Thanks! Hey we need to catch up to you guys there one weekend and do some practicing ... we can either drive there .. or if you want to come here ... or meet somewhere in between now thats it getting nicer out. Are you going to the Show n Shine event or Cranbrook? Now that I am getting my power back and back to training with the guys ... I am adjusting my weight again to 154's ... I went through a depression spell there and packed on 30 pounds worth of love handles! I sure did not like looking at the scale reading of 186 pounds .. but I am already down to 171 pounds ... and at this rate should be at 154 in about 3 more weeks. It was good to see some shake up back east at the MGC in the 154's ... with out any of us guys from out west even being there. Just goes to show you that the rankings can be changed at any time ... can't wait to see what happens at the Canadians ... I sure hope we have a good team of us going from BC .... Have you checked flights yet ... It is $1400 out of Prince George here ... it is only another $350 to fly to Italy ... its to bad that it costs so much to fly in our own country! Anyways bud ... look forward to seeing you soon ...
