USP Labs Yok3d Review

I have always been weary of pre-workout supplements. The whole vein expanding/nitric oxide/xtreme pump often scares people away. But the fact of the matter is that in most cases, pre workout supplements are generally safe when taken according to the prescribed doses. It is when people...

Whey Isolate or Concent...

There has been a great deal of debate on which is the better source of protein. One camp says that isolate is better because of the high amounts of protein per serving, while the other side of the camp says that isolate is too processed. So what is the best source? I am constantly...

Shakeology Scam

Is Shakeology a Scam? With all the health and weight loss related shakes and pills out there, you have every right to think that Shakeology is a scam. You are overwhelmed by infomercials that spin grand stories of weight loss and life changing products, but when you actually dig in and...

My Asylum Results/Revie...

The last 30-days have been some of the most grueling, intense workouts that I have ever experienced. There is no doubt in my mind why they named it The Asylum, because you do have to be out of your mind to put your body through this program! First off, let me tell you a little about how...

My Asylum Progress

Wanted to update the RIPPEDCLUB crew on my Insanity: The Asylum progress. I am currently on Day-22 (Rest Day, thank the Lord!) and I can tell you guys with all honesty that this program is some of the most fun I have had working out in a while! I suppose the reason might be that its all...

Nutrition With P90X2

Its hard to believe that you can take something so foundational like the P90X Nutrition Guide and even attempt to improve upon it, but Beachbody has once again taken it to the next level, just like you have with your work outs! We have all evolved in our knowledge and application of the...

My Asylum Fit Test: Day...

As many of you know I have began a 30-day challenge with Insanity: The Asylum. My reasoning for doing this was that I was sort of losing motivation during P90X (yes yes, even coach Todd can lose motivation) so I thought that a new program might spice things up and get me charged again!...

What’s In Shakeol...

A lot of you know that one of the foundational supplements that I take DAILY and highly recommend to ALL people, working out or not, is Shakeology. There is a reason that they call Shakeology “The Healthiest Meal of the Day”, and that reason is what I wanted to share with you...

Shakeology: Week 4

Well I have to be honest and say that week 4 was terrible!  I RAN OUT OF SHAKEOLOGY!  In the past 3 weeks I have experienced some amazing results from drinking shakeology every day, but they was this little voice in the back of my head saying, “its all in your head”.  Was the...

Which Protein Bar?

Lately I have been getting a lot of questions about the protein bars that I use in My 1900 Calorie Diet.  So I wanted to provide you all with a little info on what to look for when purchasing your next box of protein bars. Protein bars make excellent snacks and meal replacements.  They...

Shakeology: Week 3

This week I had the opportunity to really put Shakeology to the test and see if it could live up to its claims. This week I started designing the largest recycling facility in the United States for work.  This required a few very late work nights which resulted in about 3-4 hours of...

P90X Equipment

I get a lot of questions about what equipment I use with P90X.  Well…here is my list: P90X pull-up bar All Pro weighted resistance bands (maximum tension) My own body weight Pretty simple huh!  A lot of people for some reason think you need all those fancy machines you see at the...

Shakeology: Week 2

After two weeks of drinking this stuff, it is still my favorite meal of the day!  It surprised me that I can still enjoy it, but not only enjoy it, I cant wait to get all that good stuff in me!  Usually after eating the same thing for breakfast every day for two week you would think...

Shakeology: Week 1

Hello RIPPEDCLUB!  I have really wanted to document my use of Shakeology to show the benefits that I have personally experienced.  These aren’t some comments that I copied and pasted from some testimonial advertisement.  These are my true and honest opinions and experiences with...
