Holland and Barrett Body Fortress Protoplex Protein May 7, 2009
Posted by cozmo15 in : Muscle Building Supplements, Training Methods , add a commentHolland and Barrett sell a 1.6kg tub of Protoplex for £34.99 which is quite expensive I suppose. How many people out there have tried this and what do think of it? I am thinking of getting the strawberry flavour. I normally try to buy it when they have half price sales but desperately need a restock.

Let me know your opinions of this product. I think Holland and Barrett or Body Fortress are an American company so maybe it is sold in the USA?

In this latest article Will talks about the many different types of Creatine that we are lead to believe are better and more effective than plain old creatine monohydrate. Many bodybuilders will have fallen victim to marketing machine at some point, me included, and wasted money on expensive new products that simply don’t give results.
I am unfortunate in being among the 30% of people for whom creatine does not work. I have tried different doses and loading periods with no success so it seems I am back with the whey protein and my own efforts. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Picture Of Bodybuilder Frank Zane Posing May 2, 2009
Posted by cozmo15 in : Famous Bodybuilders , add a commentI came across this picture of famous bodybuilder Frank Zane posing and thought it should be shared with you. As you may already know Frank Zane was at his peak in the late 70s and 80s and frequently competed against Arnold Schwarzenegger, amongst other bodybuilders of the time.
Frank Zane had the best all round physique out of all the early bodybuilders and his posing was second to none. He made it look effortless which is certainly not true. Have you ever tried to pose in front of the mirror? I tried it and decided to give up before someone spotted me!
