Eating more protein will not make you bulk up. Eating, lifting heavy and resting will bulk you up. This is ideal for eating after your run. You should also eat some sugar (like tossing a handful of M&M's into the blender) to replenish your glycogen. Another good idea is to have some of their casein protein right before you go to bed. Whey is good first thing in the morning and after a workout (it is fast digesting) and casein is good before bed.

There's nothing magic about getting your dietary protein from whey. Drinking a whey protein shake has the same effect as eating some baked chicken breast. Just like all other dietary protein, if you eat enough protein it will be used by your body to build the muscles you've been breaking down.

Hi....absolutely...I use mine for marathon training and trail running...The bottles are very easy to access and replace after you drink. Good luck..

yes for me it works very well. i was leaning out and it made my muscles look very hard and toned. i take a break for a month after the bottle is empty but still work out hard. diet, exercise and already having a medium frame helped too. i lowered my BMI before i started the compound 20.

Start slow man you will show good results just from beginning to workout you won't need a supplement until you get in better shape just eat well and take a normal once a day vitamin

YES. It would work great for you if you need a quick refresh after a workout.

I have only used the product with the 'blend'. So I couldn't recommend one over the other but the version I've been taking seems to help. I'm taking it to help recover from prostate cancer surgery but I've noticed a sudden desire to do a 5k run. Just sayin'. I don't know if I really will but I've certainly not thought that way before. I've done a little background check on the ingredients listed in the 'blend' and it seems they might be helpful. You may be onto something though.

I am not a fitness expert, but I use this in moderate amounts when I'm building up and in light amount when I'm not to prevent loss of mass. I am 57 years old, never in sports or military, and was told I could not build muscles at my age. But proved that to be very wrong, as I built my left arm from almost nothing - to being larger and stronger than my right arm (which also grew, but received less work due to shoulder injury). As my left bicep was so small, I am sure I did not just invigorate the existing tissue. I also make my own protein bars with whey and take CLA.

Not sure if this product would work for you based on your discription on what you need. I would consult a specialist first. I just needed mine for support while jogging.

HI JT I'm not sure if it would bulk you up to the extreme, but it certainly can challenge . Repitition and heavy weights is the key to any 'bulk up' Hope this helps. It is certainly worth getting.

Brenda, I'm not sure but I don't know why it would not be suitable for women as well as men. What I can tell you is it was a waste of money and time. There are many other products out there that can be better supplements to you exercise regimen.

This is a very good product, but as with most fitness items it's designed to work your muscles whether they have some fat over them or not. Fat will not change the effectiveness of the product. The real benefit will be seen with continued use of the product.

Im a 23 year old woman and Im considering taking this to gain weight. Im am currently 115 pounds, and my height is 5'2. I always had a hard time gaining weight even now as an adult and I just want to know if this will help for a woman like me to just pack on some extra pounds?......I dont want muscle and I dont work out. Im a full time mom and just wanna know if I can add this into my weight gain regimen, and see great results?

I would not recommend using this at this time .Wait till you get your weight down and then use it . I think it would be stressful on your knees ,hips and ankles plus set you up for shin splint problems.Go to u-tube and look up cross training.Lots of videos . Alternate upper body circuit training with your running. Gradually increase in volume and intensity-former weight training conditioning teacher - wrestling and cross country coach

I believe it's moreso for muscle mass. It's not a meal supplement or something like Slim Fast. It's better to drink it after a workout to replenish muscle mass.

No, it works better and faster if you work out. I know people who have just used it for sweating out weight and it has worked but at a very slow pace. Mostly water weight.

The capsaicin fruit (the spicy grit at the bottom of the cup) is supposed to speed up your metabolism. It may help in loosing some weight, Although I have not noticed it specifically. I believe it would be more from the length or intensity of your workout where you would see results. I have been using this product on and off for about 3 months and love the energy it gives me at the gym. Best pre-workout supplement I'v tried.

I would say Yes. I weigh the same as you and have run a 1.33 half (which is about 7.15). I train at times daily on mine and once ran 52 miles on it in 3 days. I've not seen any sign of it not being able to keep up.
