hey.. James here.. Lil about me- I'm a hardgainer standing at 6'2 who started at about 135 lbs... I remember for the longest time it seemed almost as if my body refused to allow me to gain much if any muscle mass whatsoever.. I probably spent about 4-5 months of frivelous weight training every other day trying to build muscle to pretty much no avail.. Eventually I came across the muscle building program at buildmuscle.pcti-system. com .. which I'm sure many of you also have and had similar success as I've had with it. After being on the program for a little while now I've finally seen massive progress and am currently at 165 lbs .. added 30 lbs of muscle in a relatively short amount of time. But my question is, as I'm sure many of you who are doing Vince's program know.. he doesn't exactly endorse any muscle building supplements and believes they are basically useless and way over-hyped. Now, although I've already had massive success with his program and trust his advice.. I find it hard to believe that there isn't ANY effective supplement out there which can promote significant muscle gain. I know first hand that most are bogus and give fraudulent claims.. but I know there has to be SOMETHING out there which really works. Am I wrong in this assumption? Have any of you experienced significant added results with the help of a muscle growth promoting supplement?? Any advice / comments / suggestions would be much appreciated.. and I'm not interested in any narcotic steroids either.. thanks!

Hi James,
Congrats on the 30lb. muscle gain! That's fantastic! My girlfriend is a trainer and doesn't promote any supplements either. And it sounds like you did a great job without them too! Are you not so happy with your results?

I am 5'6", 118 lbs, Type 1 for 31 years (ughhh). I started weight training about 6 months ago, and gained 10 pounds of muscle just using protein shakes (Isopure, which is zero carb), and BCAA's (and workng out of course!). I had bought some creatine but got worried about liver issues so stopped using that, without really using it all that much to begin with. I know a lot of lifters that swear by all kinds of pricey supplements, but I just never wanted to spend the money, and am happy with the muscle gain that I have seen. Good luck in the search, and your continued success!
Mary
