      What ever getting people off their buts to workout is cool with me. I think alot of what they do it cool and very similar to what I do and some I would personally do. The only thing I dont like is their Elitist mentality.

      all the time they are my favorite but are taxing and might make you tired before doing other lifts.

      i was Vegas for 6 years. I just made me sick all the time. then again I was poor so I didnt eat right. But If you are into it then you are into it. Juice cleansing is good but not al the time. Maybe just before you start a new eating program.

      Cardio is good but it depends what kind of cardio that you do. I recommend sprints at the end of your workouts so you have full energy for your lifts. I think working a single muscle group is good to cycle in. Try a month of full body everyday followed by a month of one day upper and one day lower, followed by a month of muscle isolation.

      what ever you are eating for protein, double it! you need more muscle building principals in your diet. Carb up in the morning and after you workout only and eat loads of protein. Do sprints Vs slow passed cardio and lift heavier with lower reps.

      Just a good solid whey with little filler. Try to find something that has low sugar as well.

      DIET and more DIET. Abs are cooked in the kitchen. Also add some sprints to your workout. like 30 seconds on the treadmill at a fast pace with a 30 second rest. do 10-14 rounds. Arms try adding tempo to your essentric or negative lift.
